    So than, why did you indicate in the post he was replying to that BGP errors in Pakistan would take out DNS somehow if you already know it wouldn't necessarily take out DNS?

    If you are going all the way back to Korea, than I am sorry, but that is stretching.

    You are an ignorant hypocrite.

    So how does it feel to be an uninformed troll? BP paid for the spill in numerous ways, above and beyond what any US company that has spilled has paid, such as the Exxon Valdez spill. Who do you think paid for all the work on sealing the well head? Who do you think paid for the cleanup efforts?

    What this AC says is incredibly correct. Two of the ship types in the game (Super Carrier and Titan) are worth over $1000 real money. When you are fielding this kind of money which can be lost in as little as 15 minutes, perhaps you tend to care more about the game. People hated the noble store because it was stuff you had to pay real money for, which currently has no benefit. No one but you can see these items, they are clothes your character wears inside stations, which currently don't include interacting with other characters. The whole thing seemed to be a money grab from a company that had always appeared to care about their customer base.

    The newest technologies of solar power stations are able to handle cloudy days. Solar thermal uses liquid sodium as the storage mechanism within underground insulated storage tanks. When it is cloudy it just works off of the sodium "battery".

    I wouldn't specifically call out Exchange about this, it is a type of database, and any good database will exhibit this behavior as caching as much of the DB as possible is a good thing for performance.

    In performance tab of Windows Task manager on Windows 7, I currently show:

    3.05 GB in use in the graph

    Under Physical memory:
    Total 4096
    Cached 961
    Available 963
    Free 0
    (closest I could get as it changes second by second)

    So, people look at the free being 0 and freak out, but miss the available and cache that takes memory only temporarily. The graph shows a more accurate picture, that 3.05 is about 75% memory in use, but the free shows 0, OMG!!

    Also, when talking about internet connections, it is DS, not T, T is just telephone service.

  24. Re:Prices on ISPs 'Exaggerate the Cost of Data' · · Score: 1

    Move to a FiOS service area, you can get 150/35 for $200. It isn't symetric, but I don't think any US carrier is really setup for symetric unless you want to pay the DS and OC rates for your connection (DS3 45/45 for $3000).

  25. Re:Maybe Plum Consulting should become an ISP? on ISPs 'Exaggerate the Cost of Data' · · Score: 1

    Check the difference in FiOS prices.

    Service Res Bus
    15/5 49.99 64.99
    25/25 69.99 84.99

    it goes on and on, the highest tier is 199.99 vs 199.99 for 150/35 so at the highest rate, business pays the same, that $20 or less really buys some service.
