I've actually had this problem from a campus that I work on. Also noticed certain popup ads are hacked down at the boarder. I think most of the problem has to do with routing through sprint.
Some of us are feeling that nasty QoS is being implimented along the lines. (ah, that's a linux site, who needs to go there!... and such). Of course, I also feel that M$ radomizeszs bandwidth to WUpdate pages.
Of course, now ID(and a few associates, Nerve, Etc) has to join with ATI. I think I know which combination I favor.:)
After having a horrible experience trying to get a darn kernel driver working with an Nvidia card (which has been sitting in a box for a year now) I'm now exclusively ATI.
I remember attempts at implimenting a phone system. About six times, my parents got "the call". Considering I never missed a day of school for a non-sanctioned school event, I was a bit dubious. Got in trouble the first few times, but it leveled off.
I remember the system crashing once when the bubble sheet got off. It tied up the phone line for the school calling everyone on the list for hours. Funny stuff.
Seriously, this could make you a better person. I think there are less privacy harming ways of doing this, but the approach seems sound.
However, if I were you, I'd start planting inscesent viri on your parents computer and messing with their connection. (Ping flooding on the local network with a couple of linux boxes works pretty well.) Then again, if your parents are net savvy, use your judgment.
We've got an HP PhotoSmart Photo printer 1100 which is a phantom. It looks nothing like the actual HP 1000 and 1100 Photosmart lines. It's made about a year before the real HP1100's. This thing belongs in any "unworkable" list.
There is only one printer with NT 4.0 which can print to the darn thing, and it has hardware problems. Litterly, even with the initial install disks and every driver I can find that has anything to do with the HP photosmart lines, it will not work from any other windows box. And, to make matters worse, it completely ignores any printjobs which come accross the network via windows shares.
Unfortunatly, most of the reasons why people are still using NT4.0 and unwilling to upgrade that I'm aware of locally also happen to involve something in or near port 135.:)
There was a recent complaint to the networking staff at *some-university* from a student complaining that since his bandwidth was capped, he couldn't continue his "practice" as being a professional gamer. Since he couldn't play games as quickly anymore on line due to the lessened bandwidth, he couldn't afford to pay for his college education. I think the complaint was ignored for obvious reasons.
I'd love to have gotten some $$ from my early freshmen motoracer days.
You have to sell your soul to make the add/remove programs thing work. Didn't you knwo that? Anyway, I did my knee jerking by flaming out Office Dept via email. I'm now a staples/bb/compusa only patron.
Considering I had a conversation about this about a week and a half ago while camping: 1 OTEC with a 40 ft pipe in the indian ocean slightly over 3000 ft in length(going down of course) with a temperature difference of around 45 degrees C year round can produce around 100 MW. About 40MW is used for running the system. Source: The Millennial Project: Marshal T. Savage. Foward by Aurthur C. Clark and jacket note by Pournelle. Out of print. I've applied some of my Chemical Engineering skills and verified the scale of the figures. Cost per OTEC of this size: about 1.1Billion USD (slightly adjusted.)
I think the DoE deep sixed research on this in the late 70's becasue these would have to be in international waters halfway around the world in order to be effieient.
And the fact that you're pumping up Nitrogen enritched water. This creats a potential farm situation at the surface. See Living Universe Foundation or the book by Marshall Savage called The Millenial Project for more great information. (Ignore the fact that it takes about 10 times as long to grow seecrete.)
I'll leave it to the karma hungry people to provide links.:) (It's so much eaisier this way.)
I'm still waiting for cheap and reliable PII class 300 MHZ laptops. These things should be like $100 now, brand new. Why the heck do these manufacturers keep shooting for desktop replacements when the need is for mobile *CHEAP* and *DURABLE* alternatives. The software 90% of the people need when moble barely touches the computing capabilities of modern laptops.
Um, actually there are a lot of "default" shares laying around ripe for the picking. In win98, I believe it's only the system root and all the drives. I think the same are enabled in win2k. You can disable them, but they come back upon reboot. In win2k, by default, you the service which must run isn't enabled, but under win98, it's trivial to hack around and get any of the default shares. These are ones which you don't see, by the way.
If I could get DirectX games to run under linux... then I'd agree with you. Else...RTCW is case in point for me. It's good, fast, and clean. And runs on Linux all day without crashing. (Which it does under windows.)
Um... I plugged the scanner in and it worked automatically. Same with the card reader. The script is just to copy them to a directly it creates based on the days date. This is just for organization purposes. Debian 3.0 is my friend...Oh, and it's stable too!
My mom's been using Linux for about a year now. Considering she's no where near computer savy...Just Mozilla, openoffice, gimp for scanning and saving pictures from a USB scanner, a small script which I wrote for grbbing pictures from a usb card, and gtksee for viewing the pics. And printing.
No locks, no complaints, no crashes. I love debian!
Ask some local community orchestra's/playing groups if they'd like you to host their concerts on your site. I already have about 1 GB of local recordings and growing from just one group. And most of it's great music too! Most groups give about 4 concerts a year. Approx 150MB per concert. (MP3s @ 256k)
Then go ask the local high schools if you can do the same. Should be good for another gig a year, from band and chours.
Walk around with a mini-disc recorder near christmass, good for another couple hundred meg.
Then there's the "Cooledit" solution. I'm sure you could get 150GB in a couple of hours of hacking around. Just let the thing loop! Develop about 10 different effects and run them in batch mode on every other MP3 you have...
Much eaisier on the batteries. I've started to carry my TI-89 around (since it'll do integrals w/variables), but ALWAYS have the 85 handy for the crunch tests.
I have many fond menories of playing that space battle game over the link cable.:)
I think there's something wrong with your connection; you've dropped a couple of "s"'s. This could pose a major problem with the future of gaming. Now teachers *do* have to imploy local signal jamming techniques in class.
I'm looking foward to a major GBC tourny at Graduation! There's nothing else to do while waiting to walk across the stage like cattle.
This could be one REALLY SICK way of delivering some nasty germs via the post... Just one more reason to Lysol/Chlorox/UV-treat your mail. Has anyone been keeping count?
Back in my Transport Phenomena days, we did a HW assignment on the heat transfer situation within a case. All things being equal, its usually better to blow air out of the case rather than such it in.
It's better to have cool air sucked through over everything then really fast air pushed through a small part of the case. You're more likely to develop hotspots (dead zones) by pusing air in.
I set the ones on the back out, and have one towards the bottom of the front pushing in. This is primarily to pull air past the HD on its way in. In the back, a 60mm & 80 mm coolmaster for the drives and the heat that rises off the PS.
With this setup, and a coolmaster CU CPU cooler, my 1.1 runs cool. The dual 60 GB HD's are fine, and the case temp is seldem more than a few degres above room temp.
If I switch to pushing in, I get at least 5 degres above room temp. Under heavy load, this quickly jumps to about 10+.
It's loud, but safe.
I'm still trying to work up the gumption to run it with some custom heat pipes and referigerator coil getup I concockted. 9 meter copper coil with a aquarium pump and a modified tt Dragon Orb heatsink.

It's got to be aprotptype of some sort.

Going to go play RTCW. :)

Skrew you guys, I'm going back to my 386.

I've got to download this just to have it around! This is a true work of art. :)

I didn't see anything on whether this would be an opt-in, or opt-out...Could make all the difference.

4. More MP3's?

Didn't they try something like this before with disasterous results. Didn't it have something to do with Microsoft?
