2) What did homer give up his soul for? 3) Who shot Mr. Burns (come on now, everybody knows that!) 4) What household appliance turned out to be a time machine, transporting Homer back millions of years? 5) Why did the babysitter accuse Homer of sexual harrasment? 6) Bart decimated the ecosystem of Australia. How? 7) Who appeared as the guest voice of Rupert Murdoch (Fox "network" owner)? 8) Bart discovered his French host family adding a foreign substance to wine they were making. What was it? 9) What's the name of the character resembling Homer that was used to plug soap on Japanese television? 10)What induced Homer's Castaneda-esque hallucination at the annual Springfield Chili Cook-Off?
here's a personal bonus question: What state is Springfield in?;-)
Excellent (with appropriate finger tapping): Used as a response to anything impressive or well-planned (such as a Ferrari or plot to take over the world).
well, when I look at my info on their website, and on the printed paper they gave us back in June/July, it has all of the standard static IP info, and they told me themselves that if that's what you have, then that's what you've got...
They assign static IP's here in Rochester, MN... though one time I misstypeded when I reconfigured, and it worked anyway... the only reason I caught it is because my dhs.org alias stopped working 8^) DHCP does work, of course, but in windoze you need to set your computer name to whatever whack string they assign you (like CB23472347A7577 - not as nice as the hostnames that are done by IP... that's for sure). That number is probably in the underside on my cable modem (MAC address) - I'll have to check when I get home...
yeah, @Home doesn't seem to care about my http, ftp, or ssh ports, but hey - only about three people use my box remotely anyway, and there's very little traffic.
I'm just waiting for a clever admin to notice that I'm posting with my @Home address in/. and say "hey, he keeps mentioning that he is running a server!" "maybe we should try to figure out where he is!" "what domain is yummy.home.com so we can tell them?";-)
I had a 98 box set up as my gateway for my internal net on @home (linux box was "in the shop" with a dead motherboard) - put up the main webpage saying what the box was and that the main drive was shared with no passwd, all of the default PWS scripts were available, and left an old insecure ftp program running... 2 weeks and nobody bothered to screw with me - I was dissapointed;-)
Now my Linux box with full IPChains is up, and I had to turn off the logging, since there were so many scans and my box was using 98% CPU for syslogd (75MB log after only a couple hours). Not Good... I like the comment about using RJECT instead of DENY, though;-)
odd - I pronounce DOS "dahs" (or daus? "rhymes with house - maybe from the german class I took), but I refer to D-O-S (dee oh ess) attacks. But then again, it doesn't really matter too much.
Well, I got a 15" with my system in 1995, and have bought a 21" early last year... all 3 systems run through a Cybex KVM box to the 21, but technically I've got two... no wait - there's an Epson XT with monitor in the basement of my old house... right next to the C64 and 128 with their old monitor... can't really count the XT or Commodore monitors, but once my finacee moves in, there's another 15" monitor...
At home my brother and dad each have a system with a monitor, my grandfather has 2 systems, two monitors.
Hell, my family averages well over the 50% line...
um... well, aside from when checking my mail takes several minutes, or when the best xfer rate is ~5-10k/s... yeah... usually it's not *too* bad, though... I got spolied at school, with a nice fast connection there (albiet with firewalls by the time I left).
and it's not against their contract for a home lan - I spoke to their tech types about it, and it was even mentioned in some of the documentation I got...
I'm stuck with @home, too, and am fairly unsatisfied after only 7 months. There really isn't a whole lot of other options (pay 3 times more for DSL, dial up - my newest modem is a 14.4). Plus, I like my whole in-home net to be accessable all day (via a firewalled ssh-only gateway). I hate to say it, but they are the only game in town in some places...
Sure, take the easy way out;^D But: How much Pen could a Penguin guin if a penguin could guin pen... oh, nevermind (my brain just hit that meltdown stage again)...
Who are we? What are we doing? Why are we doing it?
There is too much information about this project to fit in this introductory page. You should really take the time to visit our Frequently Asked Questions.
RTFF?
Sourceforge is a Good Thing(TM), and it also helps promote VA's standing among the community, and therefore, raises more awareness in the market place (for those 42 people who haven't heard of "tech stocks"). It makes them more attractive, and that helps their bottom line.
Um, where did I say I was talking about the PCI bus?! I was talking about the FSB (which should be pretty obvious, unless your CPU is on the PCI bus.
My comment was in reply to the following: >Memory: Ever wondered why the transition from PC100 to PC133 doesnt give any significant performanceadvantage? Any why Celery with PC66 is pretty fast regardless?
which I thought was pretty obvious... oh well - at least your.sig is appropriate...
Yeah, I heard that too - he better hurry up! Since I left college this May, I don't even have *access* to a VHS player, but I've got DVD for my home theater and one on my computer. THe hell with TPM, I want Leia in a bikini;-)
Yeah - every company has people on the plus and minus sides... when that drive died - I called them (3pm sunday afternoon right after Thanksgiving 1996). They said the new one would get to me in 5-7 days (I was not thrilled). Turns out, I had it by 10 am the next morning, and the drive was a 2G to replace my 1G (just as cheap by that point). I was also treated with a lot of respect when I called, and other times I've called back (as recently as last year when I fried the speakers that shipped with it), I've had only good experiences - less than 8 minutes on hold, people who understand that (since I do sysadmin work) I do do know something (but I'm always willing to try what they ask, too), and when I tell them what I've done they don't say "well, I need you to do that now, anyway".
I also know someone who wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, but he owns the only functioning Micron PC I've ever seen (1 of 7 ain't bad, is it?).
>All benchmarks I saw for celeron/PC66 showed a performance similar to P3/PC100.
Yeah - I've seen some of those, too... I just choose not to believe everything (or anything). All I can tell you is that I tested the C-466/66 against the C-300(@450/100) and the 450 won out everytime by a few percent... didn't blow it away, that's for sure, but it made a difference.
Most of the gaming benchmarks I've seen for the C vs. P-II/!!! have put the Celeron ~= with the P2/3 at the same clockspeed/FSB. Those with the same clockspeed, but the 66MHz FSB on the Celeron show a definite degradation of performance (or lack of enhanced performance, whatever).
Tests like CPUMark, FPUMark and a lot of the "normal everyday" benches aren't as reliant on the higher bus freq as something like Q3/UT, where you are spitting so much data out to the AGP slot...
True that on the PMMX comment... it makes a great router/firewall for the cable modem, though 8^D
Thanks for the reminder - there was some way to permanently alter the binary to be Alpha-based, and yeah - that did run pretty quick after the initial conversion - but if you are running iNT software on your alpha NT box off of a network share, it tends to not work quite as quickly.

here's a personal bonus question: What state is Springfield in?
well, it was...
"mmmmmm..... chocolate" (open) "DOH!"
(repeat)
(sorry, I'm in the mood to nit)
rofl!
Not to mention, "Home Petrification Made Easy" and the long-running Fox series "When Good Moderators Go Bad.... 3!"(etc)
I *love* the halloween episodes - especially when they run a couple of hours worth of them, all back to back to back...
Notable Moments:
"We can vote for a third party candidate!"
"Go ahead, throw away your vote (maniacal laughter)"
"I'll save ya, laddy!" (hit with axe) (repeat)
Excellent (with appropriate finger tapping): Used as a response to anything impressive or well-planned (such as a Ferrari or plot to take over the world).
yeah, and the loss of Phil was really big for News Radio, too - it sux w/o him (wasn't really all that good before)
(Score: -1, Offtopic)
The local common filth reporter in Rochester, MN even had an article, "Test Your Simpsons IQ"
ex: According to the scanner, how much is Maggie worth?
etc... helped me recall some excellent moments...

(sorry)
or I could stab at your grammar: affect, not effect is proper here... :-P
