Remember that ADSL transmission is analogue, thats why you have a MODEM (its an acronym, not a noun!)
Yeah, I always found it amusing that ADSL is no more of a "digital subscriber line" than my POTS line running a 2400 bps modem. Now ISDN and SDSL lines, I'd consider digital with their 2B1Q modulation.
How would you have modded me if I would have wrote: [...]
Well, I think I've been $rtbl banned from moderating or something, seeing that I've never been given mod points since that big/. controversy about editors having unlimited mod points that they use to -1 entire threads they want to suppress...
but supposing I did moderate that post, I'd probably give it an Offtopic (I wouldn't take it below 0 though). The topic is "Traffic Shaping on DSL"; whether switching to SDSL would also fix the problem isn't relevant (unless it happened to be the only solution, which isn't the case here). And it might not even be a possible solution either... I have ADSL at home, but can't get SDSL. I can probably get a T1, but that's too pricey for my needs. Many people have cable modems, which are also asymmetrical, and can't get any form of DSL at all.
I've never figured out how to check the moderation stats except in "Parent".
Click the (#3914122) in the header. You'll see he has one Underrated moderation and is currently at Score: 0, so he must've started at -1.
I still think he got the explanation right. ADSL is probably the issue.
Well, maybe he got it "right" in a trivial sense... but not in any useful sense.
Paraphrase of poster: "I have a DSL line where the upstream and downstream speeds are asymmetrical. Whenever I upload, it kills my downstream bandwidth because the ACKs aren't getting through fast enough. What can I do to fix this?"
Paraphrase of teknopurge's reply: "HAHAHAA!!1 The probelm isnt TCP dumbass! teh probem is that U SUXX0RZ cuz u have ADSL!! I M so l33t and have SDSL. Rawk!"
I think it's pretty obvious the poster has ADSL; he basically says so. And sure, SDSL doesn't have this problem. That wasn't the question though... and the problem has everything to do with TCP and its behavior on asymmetrical links... there have even been a fewpapers on the subject.
And I've always been confused when people measure airconditioning by weight. What is a ton of air conditioning?
Yeah, it is a pretty weird unit of measure... it's the amount of heat energy an air conditioner can remove in one hour, converted into a weight by Einstein's famous e = mc^2 formula[1].
So one ton of AC works out to be 2.27E23 ergs/second (or 7.74E16 btus/hour for you non-metric types [read as: USAians])

Yes, apache lets you return a redirection response (301 Moved Permanently or 302 Moved Temporarily). Yes, that's different from a meta refresh in the HTML. But no, you can't force anything to follow either of them. Like I said, I doubt if Code Red is gonna bother to follow a redirection request.
Heck, I'd be mildly surprised if Code Red even bothered looking at the response from the server... IIRC, it just dumps the code it wants to run in the HTTP request and lets the code take care of the rest. (On the other hand, nimda does check the status code to see if the server's vulnerable to any of the attacks it tries. If you return 404s, it gives up pretty quickly, but if you return 200, it tries to do a lot more).
I like how you got -1 for explaining the problem correctly.
No, check the moderation stats for his comment--his comments start at -1 because his karma sucks. And his karma sucks because he's a troll... he didn't explain the problem correctly at all.
Yeah, except being a noble gas, you can't get a dual Xenon... I don't know where these guys are getting 'em; my supplier only has single-atom configurations.
Despite what Western media and half of what Texas believes, India is not swarmed with people deprived of their basic needs. Although there are still parts of the country where people are under poverty, there are parts of the country where the community is much advanced.
Oh, good going there... try to fight stereotypes with some of your own, huh? Despite what you believe, Texas is not full of ignorant hicks. In any case, your first sentence doesn't necessarily follow from your second. 35% of Indians are below the poverty line. And with a population of about 1 billion, that's 350 million people in poverty. Sure, parts of the country is quite advanced, but that doesn't change the fact that a significant percentage, and an even more significant number of the population live in poverty.
... the literacy rate is 100%. Can any other place in the world claim the same ?
How about Denmark,
Finland,
Norway,
and Sweden? (Okay, so Sweden is "only" 99%). Those are all estimates though; I doubt if the literacy rate is really 100% in any country (or state).
P.S. Speaking of facts, the Census of India says that the literacy rate in Kerala is 91%. Very good, certainly, but a bit short of your 100% claim.
Tezuka was inspired by posters/reviews for Lang's Metropolis. He hadn't actually seen the film itself, so I don't think you can really say that he was inspired by it.
Getting enough CPU together to brute force the private key is relatively simple, especially for a hacker that has compromised many systems and can easily install a distributed key generator on all of them.
I think you underestimate the difficulty of brute-forcing RSA-style keys... RSA-129 (which is about 426 bits long) took 1600 computers 8 months to factor back in 1994. That was the part that could be distributed over multiple machines. Then it took a supercomputer with 16384 processors 45 hours to solve the 4GB matrix that came out of the distributed part of the process.
It's not gonna be a piece of cake to crack the 1024 bits keys that are the minimum people use these days, even if you do have tens of thousands of machines to do the distributed part. And after you're done with that, where are you gonna get a computer that can solve a multi-gigabyte matrix in a reasonable amount of time?
If three machines are using my connection, then I am using more than "average use", but that in and of itself doesn't give them the right to retaliate.
In general, my computers don't use bandwidth--I use bandwidth. One's person's bandwidth usage isn't going to change depending on how many computers they have hooked up to the net. On the other hand, the bandwidth used by two people is going to be more than the bandwidth used by one person. I think ISPs set their rates based on the average use of one person.
Animagix on Guadalupe... get your stuff quick though, they're going out of buisness.
They're not actually out of business yet? I thought they had their big going out of business sale months ago...
Anyways, for rentals, there's Vulcan Video. Doesn't Blockbuster carry anime? I haven't actually been to one in years...
I generally buy anime online, but Dragon's Lair Comics, Fry's Electronics, and Suncoast Video stock anime too.
And I think most of the arthouse type theatres in town have shown anime... Metropolis and Jin-Roh were at the Dobie, Perfect Blue at the now-closed Arbor 7, Princess Mononoke at the Paramount, and I'm pretty sure the Alamo Drafthouse has played anime, although I can't think of any titles...
Each update that requires a reboot will have a little "restart" icon (aqua gumdrop with a triangle in it) next to it. I think there's also some text down at the bottom that says "restart required" when you highlight the update. Anyways, the icon makes it easy to tell which updates will require you to reboot and which won't.

Dunno if I'd call it an "update," seeing that it's mentioned in the linked NYTimes article:
Mr. Bronfman's colleague and New York neighbor, the pianist Emanuel Ax, had originally agreed to join him in Japan as a second e-judge. But Mr. Ax pulled out a few months ago, he said in a recent interview, because of a scheduling conflict.

Uh, that's about 0.854. We're looking for a number around 1.618. Try (1. + 5.**0.5)/2. It is the number Phi such that Phi = 1 + 1/Phi.
