  1. Re:NO gig-e low # ports and pci bus for most of th on Open Source Router To Replace WRT54GL? · · Score: 1

    The best speed tests on a "Gig-E" link with an MTU of 1500 at best will deliver around 650Mbps to 750Mbps of throughput.

    $ iperf -c 10.xx.xx.xx

    [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.06 GBytes 907 Mbits/sec

    No jumbo frames, going through a couple of cheap airlink gig switches.
    Server is nVidia onboard gigabit, server is Intel onboard gigabit on a cheap consumer board.

    In case you're being serious, I assumed OP was using this definition (does anybody here NOT know the dilbert reference?)

    Elbonia is the collective name for all places outside of the United States of America and can be considered to be a nation of its own.

    Nice troll, but all of the Core i7 CPUs from Intel come from fabs in the US or Costa Rica.
    And in Costa Rica, they pay almost double the local average wage.

  6. Redirecting trackers on Microsoft RickRolls Wi-Fi Network Leechers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you redirect a BT client to a "rickroll" whenever it tries to get a list of peers, and this page is never seen by the end user.
    You did a great job!
    Oh wait...

    We reasoned that if you had a lot of mappings, and that a large proportion of those mappings were to a lot of distinct remote hosts, and largely not idle, that you are probably a Torrenter.(...) These scripts output a list of bad MACs, that we then just dropped into a block list in the core switches.

    Yeah, that might have been a little more helpful than redirecting a client (which will just use DHT instead to find peers)

    Also the track is 5:14 so it's actually more like 10MB for a 256kbps encode, so ~5TB total transferred, which would cost about $850 from Amazon S3

    Requirement 9: Restrict physical access to cardholder data

    Somewhat difficult when you're not hosting the system yourself, so this requirement can only be met by less than 1% of e-commerce retailers out there.

    I'd guess that less than 1% of e-commerce retailers are processing cards themselves.

    You can use a USB flash drive when installing Vista as well.
    My Intel DP35DPM board came with the AHCI/Matrix RAID driver on a floppy. Too bad it didn't even have a connector for a floppy drive (and XP didn't want to load it off my USB floppy drive).
    Ended up having to use nLite to merge it into the install media.
