  1. Re:finally on Professor Creates His Own Cisco Manual · · Score: 2, Informative

    The OSI model is used to describe the function of a network. TCP/IP can be mapped exactly to the OSI model as a four layer stack. So, academic tool or not, it's a standarized way to teach, that helps you branch off into TCP/IP, Netware, any other protocol.

  2. Re:WOW! on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 1

    Wrong, wrong, wrong. You will get two UDP multicast instances with every instance of Rendezvous. When is starts up, it sends a broadcast telling every other node it's there, and asks for a list of their services, when it closes, it tells everyone it's gone. You get two broadcasts per node. It isn't exactly a faulty switch. Second, you can keep your DHCP because it doesn't do addressing. It's just directoy service. Telling which printers, chat programs (webcam ect) and shared files are accessible on the other system. If you want though, I'll let you try again, double or nothing.

    That means innocent until proven guilty last time I checked.

    Not in the world. Just on Slashdot. Which I guess is arguably another world.

    Today's Monday? Ah hell! I missed work. Well, I guess I didn't "miss" it so much as forget to go.

  6. Re:Goldstine was project manager not designer on Herman Goldstine, ENIAC Developer, Dies at Age 90 · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, the designs they used were really just spins of the design used by John Vincent Atanassoff, who built the first digital computer. Being a CS major at Iowa State, they refuse to hand you your diploma unless you know that.

  7. Re:What's with Nintendo? on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 1

    First, the GC isn't tanking. It has a niche market, especially with some of their platform specific games like Windwaker. Second, Nintendo's flagship product actually isn't the GC. Most of their revenue comes from the GBA. So $20 a pop for gba games seems pretty reasonable when it is, in fact, their proverbial cash cow.

  8. Re:PC weather tools on The Future of Free Weather Data on the Internet · · Score: 1

    If you use trillian there are several plugins available. But being a plug in, it requires trillian pro. I'd recommend paying for it though, as it is a good app, and the staff is pretty prompt about patches whenever a gateway protocol changes.

    spam is really not a concern anymore. You mean except for bandwidth I assume.

    Guess who uses smac or other mac cloning programs? Hell, what's to stop a user from buying a $10 nic every month or two?

    I hate you, and I just wanted you to know with that comment you've made my short list of foes.

  13. Re:A joke surely? on Netgear's Amusing "fix" for WG602v1 Backdoor · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's because of their 4x stuff. If you disable their proprietary packet sizes and compression stuffs, you get some nice reliabiity.

  14. Re:zerg on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    Yong Moo Do is the way to go. It is a tournament that integrates Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Hapkido. Basically, all three styles of unarmed self defense. Grappling, throwing, and punching/kicking. Also, regular sparring is essential. I was in martial arts for a long, long time, but when I first started sparring, I realized how poorly it was to put it all together effectivly. After a few years of sparring regularly, you begin to get a sort of feel for how to use what you know in a real fight. Kicking a board and kicking someone charging at you are suprisingly different.

  15. Re:Super large video games on Engaging Debate on Piracy and Videogaming · · Score: 1

    They don't have to monitor their downloads, presumably they just have to reconnect to the interweb every eight hours. Or however long it is before their ISP disconnects them.

  16. Re:Super large video games on Engaging Debate on Piracy and Videogaming · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? Anyone who is seriously in the warez community has no problem with it. I'm on a 10mbit connection, so I'm a dump site. I've had about a dozen dial up users get the UT2004 DVD. That's a 4 gig iso, they just kept chugging along until it was finished. They could get it from multiple sources easily as all the rar's from a release group have the same md5. So they'll get 10% from me, and if they start getting shitty speeds, they'll jump somewhere else. You'd be suprised how many DVD movies go through my site. So, anyway, no, size has nothing to do with it.

  17. No storytelling in modern games? on Sam Lake on Video Game Storytelling · · Score: 1

    I guess Baldur's Gate was just a graphics orgy with no plot or development.

  18. Re:Very cool technology on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 1

    I agree. I'm very against the politics of our current armed conflict. However, at the same time, I want nothing short of the safe return of our troops. People who risk their lives to defend the rights that I hold dear command a great deal of respect from me. I do get a bit flustered when someone says that because I don't agree with the current war, that I don't support my troops.
