  1. Re:Only 100Mbps? on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    Actually no, I'm not. The fibre goes into the basement, and from there I have 1000Mbit cat5e to the whole house. Download speed vary very much depending on the hosting server though, and I often don't get more than ~50Mbit from public servers with load. Many servers seem to cap the download speed too, since it sometimes is rock stable at for example 30Mbit no matter what I do (If I open up more sessions to different sites the 30Mbit speed does not fall, so it's not my end of the line which is choking). The fastest speed I get is from company servers in northern europe, especially Sweden, Finland, Norway and Germany.

    I live in Sweden and have a 1000Mbps-rated optical fibre connection. Though the fastest I've got out of it is a piddling 900Mbps. Muahaha.

    Many of the Blu-Ray movies doesn't have any region lock: http://bluray.liesinc.net/

  4. Re:the 'market' on Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Talks End · · Score: 1

    So in the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD debate, who will win?

    I think the first of the formats to get cracked wins.

  5. Re:Ink for inkjet printers on 20 Things They Don't Want You to Know · · Score: 1

    Actually, it IS true (at least in the country where I live). For example, a "Lexmark Color JetPrinter Z515" cost ~$50, with black and color cartridges included. Extra cartridges cost ~$58 for the black and color, small version (which is the ones you get with a new printer).

  6. Ink for inkjet printers on 20 Things They Don't Want You to Know · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are inkjet printers where it would have been cheaper to buy a brand new printer than buying ink to the old one...

  7. Just stuttering? on Half Life 2 Stuttering Bug Official · · Score: 1

    Hmm... My problem is worse than stuttering. It won't run at all on my p-p-p-powerbook :/
