"Each route processor manages shelf controller functions and supports up to 4 GB of DRAM plus a 40-Gbps hard drive for storing software images and dumps."
I'm sure they meant "40 GB hard drive"
OTOH, if they have a 40Gbps HD, I sure could use one.....no more need for that expensive RAM....swapping will be plenty fast.;-P
You can't just split digital satellite. It requires multiswitches, which are a lot more expensive than your run-of-the-mill coax splitter.
If you already knew this, just ignore my post and let it be to help the newbies. (I've seen too many times where someone puts a regular RF aplitter on their DSS line ans wonders why it won't work...)
BTW...anyone know where I can get a large (16 or more port) multiswitch? I want to wire the whole house in a way that is 2 tuner TiVo-ready.
I use AVG 6 Free Edition and mIRC. I don't use dnet anymore, so i can't say on this one, but i have never had a false alarm from AVG. I have however seen plenty of them with Norton (which came preinstalled on my last 2 notebooks...damn Acer and Compaq), so i deleted norton and put on AVG.
An application running on your computer can download what it wants to whereever it wants. Java and (to an extent) ActiveX "applications" are more restricted, generally only to the cache, but most spyware/malware/etc. are normal.exe or.dlls which have the same priveleges as the user they are running as.
it's a simple fact that a hashing algorithm which creates a fixed-size hash will always have infinite collisions.
MD5 creates a 128 bit signature, meaning that there are only 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,45 6 (2^128) possible uniques. Once you try the 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,45 7th input, you will have a collision. This is also assuming that MD5 will even output all the possible hashes. There may be something in it that prevents certain results from ever occuring, thus reducing the possible hashes further.
You're more likely to have you computer explode than have a hash collision when ripping a CD.
My AP is a.11b system, so I'm still stuck to 11Mbits. What I was saying is that using the Windows driver thru ndiswrapper does not provide the flexibility that I had using HostAP with the Orinoco in my old laptop.
Since this is the same situation experienced b those who went from Airport to Airport Extreme, I thought it was relevant.
Centrino systems use the Intel PRO/Wireless 2xxx series. Earlier ones are the 2100, newer ones use the 2200. AFAIK, the 2200 is 802.11g, whereas the 2100 is only.11b
you won't get any that don't broadcast their SSID.
umm....my $50 Netgear MR814v2 802.11b AP/router can disable beacons. Any AP should have this option.
With beacons off, it is invisible to Windows Zero Config and Netstumbler-like tools. Kismet and any other tool using RFMON mode (Airopeek is the only one on Win32 AFAIK) can still see it.
I have pointed out how many of them currently have a 5.25 floppy drive around (none).
How many times have you been stuck with no way to transfer data from the old media to the new one?
When 3.5" drives came out, most PCs still had 5.25" drives.
Most desktops still have 3.5" drives and also have CD or DVD burners.
When a new, incompatible format is released, I'll bet my backups that my PC will still read my CDs for some time afterwards.
Basically what I'm saying is that while media may become outdated, rarely does it go away in a way that you cannot easily transfer your backups to the new format.
I started with T2 on a 350Pent2 with a ATI AiW128 32MB. Worked fine (generally over 20FPS until i went above 1024.
Just dug out the disc when I saw this article, installed on my new 3.06P4 + RadeonMobile9600 laptop: it ran with no frames dropped at 1680x1050 (woo! it supported widescreen!) with all the options turned up.
Clear Channel may have stations in almost every market, but Howard was only on CC in areas where Infinity did not have a presence. Howard's primary distribution is thru Infinity Broadcasting. As has already been mentioned, CC was paying Infinity to have the rights to broadcast Howard, and he wasn't doing too well in those markets, so they were glad to have an excuse to drop his show and look good to the "decent and non-offensive" people.
The DC may have had the proprietary GD-ROM, but it still can run code unmodded off of a CD-R. See LinuxDC for/.'s favorite way of proving we control the hardware.
Doesn't work that way. Unlike PS1 (and PS2 IIRC) discs, Xbox games cannot be read in a PC CD/DVD-ROM drive. MS modified the DVD format that the Xbox uses to prevent easy ripping of games. All you see with a PC DVD drive is a short animation telling you it is not a DVD, and should only be placed in a Xbox.
The only way to use Cxbx is with a disc image that has been ripped using a modded Xbox.
when I do a google on my name in quotes, over half the results are actually about me.
I have the same thing. Half the google results on the first page are me, the other half are split between a Harvard Alumni director and a missionary with "LCMS".....the last one's funny because I am atheist...
Now with the "standard" for lossy audio supporting surround, supposedly in a way that still allows stereo to be played from an older device, I can encode my DVD backups with this and have a closer-to-DVD experience when watching movies on my Xbox based media center (that is, once XBMP/XBMC supports playing this...)

every single person in my class (the geek class at a vocational school) hates saturns. we despise all that small garbage.
the majority of us are in to computers, cars, and extreme sports.
only one smokes regularly.
as the AC above already mentioned, I was talking about digital satellite, not ethernet.
a satellite multiswitch is not the same as an ethernet switch.
About the satellite...

I call bullshit on these claims.

yep. look up peltier cooling.
overclockers have been using peltiers along with big fans, water, or phase change cooling for years.
you do still need something to cool the peltier, so it won't be completely noiseless, but you can get lower temps than typical cooling systems.
Umm...are you kidding me....

I agree. My Broadcom 802.11g system would immediately crash NS 0.3.30. 0.4 works like a charm.
Still scans slower than my old ORiNOCO based laptop.

Airport 802.11b is supported through the viha drivers. I believe it is really an ORiNOCO card.
.11g chip integrated in to my laptop and I don't like using ndiswrapper.
Airport Extreme 802.11g is not yet supported. I've heard that these are Broadcom based (no open source drivers yet)
If you have the AE, I feel you pain. I have a Broadcom

NetChaser is available for the Tungsten|C.
/me sits and waits quietly..
I haven't seen anything for Sony systems or the rare (forgot which brand) PalmOS handhelds with a CF slot.
Maybe there will be more when (if?) the SDIO 802.11 drivers get released for palms

Now I've just gotta find the old Tribes1 disc...
I'm on dialup and just finished 10.0 Community three days ago....I feel your pain man...
I think I'll wait for the retail version and show a little $upport for my favorite distro.
that's more than a few radio stations

/me goes back to watching Simpsons DVDs
oops...
Hmm...an accidental simpsons reference.
912 = "Real" emergency number from the Stonecutters episode
Ha! You're both wrong! There is no God!!!

Movie backups.
