    You clueless dolt! The P4 is faster than the G5. P comes after G, and is clearly 9 letters ahead!

    Unless you wanted to use the GPU on the Radeon for instructions it would handle well, which is quite probable.

    You misunderstood me; my bad. You said 1/4th of 10.0.0.0/8.... and I replied, meaning to say that 1/4th of 10.0.0.0/8 is 10.0.0.0/10... though that only specifies one quarter, not all of them. Sorry for the confusion!

  9. Re:Hi, I'm ignorant. Pleeztameecha! on Local Network IPs - 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's to seperate the bitmask. An IPv4 address is 32 bits long, in big endian order (biggest value goes first, like our decimal system). The /XX is simply an abbreviated way of writing a subnet that starts with n 1's and ends with 32-n 0's. For instance, 10.0.0.0/8 means the 10.x.x.x network with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. 192.168.0.0/16 means the 192.168.x.x network with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. 192.168.123.128/26 means the 192.168.123.[128 to 192] network, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.64.

    Almost always, if written in binary, subnets will look like a bunch of ones, then a bunch of zeros. Sometimes, it's convenient to have a subnet that does *NOT* designate a contiguous network segment. For instance, you might have 192.168.2.[64 to 127] and 192.168.3.[64 to 95]. In this case, this is a network 192.168.[2-3].[64-95] with a subnet mask of 255.255.253.32 (which can't be represented in the / form). Don't try this though, as certain buggy OS's might get confused.

  12. Re:Portfolio on Any Advice for Starting a Web Design Business? · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest incorporating immediately, for the simple fact that it limits your personal liability. To go with that, get yourself some business insurance. This will cost several grand, however.

    The other biggest tip I can give is to RIGOUROUSLY schedule every hour of the week. It is unbelievable how much more one can accomplish.

  14. Re:Scalability? on MIT Roofnet · · Score: 1

    Where I used to work, at kermode.net, we provided internet access to a remote community of less than 500 people called Telegraph Creek. Basically, using a satellite feed, anyone that wanted internet access rented wireless equipment from us. Yes, several dozen people had wireless equipment on their roofs, and a couple places served as repeaters. It has worked great for several years!

  18. Re:You'll pay and pay on Blocker Tags to Protect Privacy From RFID Tags · · Score: 1

    Actually, you don't know the stats. More women shop online than men! Read the book! The problem is that malls and other merchants will lose about 30% of their customers in the next 7 or so years. Most of their margins are only a few percent, so it will be very hard for them to survive. Many malls and stores will close, though obviously, many will still be around.

  25. Re:Power Supply on Watercooling Drifting Mainstream · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never taken a close look at that. The fan inside of most power supplies is exactly the same size as a case fan. Granted, the reason why power supply fans are noisy is their high Cubic Feet per Minute rating, usually in the low 30s. Myself, I just stuck a regular case fan in there, and although it doesn't blow quite as much air, things stay cool all the same. I guess it would be more critical if the ambiant air outside is warmer.

    Don't be too afraid of opening the power supply, if you have a brain. Just don't touch any of the components. The fan usually has a little plastic clip. You might have to cut and splice the leads on the fan to the old clip, but that's easy enough for any self-respecting geek. Have fun!
