  1. Re:Oh No! on 3D Sphere Interface for XP · · Score: 5, Funny

    If clippy were in 3-D, I could finally get around behind him to kick his A**.

  2. Must not be at a Kansas University on IPv6 is Here · · Score: 1

    The network that Kansas Universities connect to for service (KanREN Inc.) fully implemented v6 months back. Native IPv6 services are provided to each University and throughout the statewide backbone, although I admit I don't know how the Universities handle it once you cross the border router and look at the campus network. This move by ICANN will make it easier for us to implement DNS for the v6 space.

  3. the equation is wrong, just as he intended on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Technically, The equation is not "fine"

    You're missing the explanation point in his original equation..

    "bytes/sec != bits/sec * 8, rather a factor around 13 or 14"

    In many programming languages and some mathematical notations, the explanation point is read as "not". Therefore his stating the equation as such makes the equation itself Wrong... of course that's just what he intended

  4. Re:Other Countries slow to follow -Kansas Not on IPv6 Rollout Japan, China in 2005 · · Score: 1

    the Kansas Research and Education Network has fully deployed it. Admittedly, that makes it a bit of an island, there aren't a load of applications for it now.

    Nevertheless, every Regent's University in the state, and a few dozen public school district's have access to it Border to Border.

  5. OneorZero helpdesk on How Do You Manage Requests in Your Organization? · · Score: 1

    I didn't need all the functionality of RT, and didn't like it when I tried it (although to be fair it's been almost two years since I tried it). I ended up using oneorzero helpdesk (http://helpdesk.oneorzero.com).

    I've modified it slightly to do what we need, but it seemed to me to have all the features I needed and nothing I didn't.

    I can't believe what nerds we are. We're looking up money laundering in the dictionary

  6. Re:Let them compete like cable companies on Baby Bell Deregulation Bill Fails To Pass In Kansas · · Score: 1

    "Cable is the ONLY way to get it in many areas."

    Another government-mandated monopoly.


    Absolutely, and you forgot to point out that Cable companies are a good broadband alternative, but they too are buying the internet bandwidth for your home from Bell.

    Directly or indirectly, virtually everyone in KS who has broadband or dedicated internet service is buying it from Bell. Period.
