  1. Re:4chan might be down forever. on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    I was kind of wondering what the Goons had to do with 4chan, but nice to know that /v/ has corps in Eve. At this point Goons are pretty much a non issue though, so not terribly concerned about them.

    That would be the problem. Move to a more sane part of the country.

    You sir have no idea what it is sysadmins do. Try doing the job some time and you will see that these items make that 1 sysadmin managing 10k computers possible and saves the company millions.

    This is why I have never clicked the remove ads button on /. I don't mind supporting sites that don't have the godawful pop over flash ads. Now reading that Gizmag site nearly made my eyes bleed with the ads, I have no problem blocking the ads there...just have to find the addin for Chrome I suppose.

    Its like paying for a leased car that includes maintenance, then the dealer just never does maintenance on the car until it dies.

    This specific problem was recently brought up in a recent /. article.

    Netflix does not have a server on the Comcast network (competition to Comcast's TV service) so they have to deal with the horrid peering connections Comcast has.

    I have heard of solutions to this many times. Why is it that the local government doesn't just own the lines to your house and allow whoever to run data over those lines to the internet? You pay taxes to support the fiber to your home, you pay the broadband company of your choice to connect you to the internet, and you are all set.

    Anne Arundel County, Maryland. I at least can tell you that there is some selection here.

    It mostly depends on area. Many local governments (or apartment complexes I have heard) make agreements with a single broadband company. In my area it is FiOS, numerous DSL providers, or Comcrap, so you can probably guess which I went with. I love FiOS, they don't stop you from doing anything, and symmetric 25Mb is not too shabby for the price.

    There are private addresses, but most likely you would not NAT as that is a horrid hack. Security is done through "local" and "world" type zones, not through NAT.

    I think that a bumper sticker I saw on the highway might help change your mind. "I love the USA, its the government I don't trust." Now, you are confusing the FCC with the American public. This is rather like saying that because the Queen is old, all of Britain must be old.

    There are RFID devices that compute as well. Not those stupid stickers, but much larger keychain style ones.

    I suppose from the pictures I tend towards the four-in-hand knot, but would probably not mind the Windsor simple.

    Personal preference, I hate the Full Windsor. I would have to check out the knots they suggest to see the name of the one I use though. I just find the Full Windsor to be entirely too large for my neck size.

    As a former Boy Scout, I was taught a few knots back in the day. It turns out that one of the two knots for a tie is a double half hitch. I don't know if that helps, but thought I would chime in with that.

    We used to have a couple guys who would wear their kilts to work, never heard of any problems with it. But the CEO also has no problem with my pony tail, and allows casual Fridays (Jerseys allowed in the winter and Hawaiian shirts in the summers are allowed for themed casual Fridays)

    I went to a large school, and they had trouble keeping enough students in the classes to even have the classes. I took Pascel, and went to take C but they canceled the class due to lack of interest. So it could have much more to do with the size of the school and number of kids interested. My school also had keyboarding and application classes, and they were called what they were.
