so i read it again 4 hours later, and that was ambigious. i mean on my laptop running ex pee, the firewire shows up under network connections as having a tcp/ip stack.
2 solutions then. 1. optical (but fiber is a pain to run...and is expensive.
2. what if you ran ethernet (that is protected form lightning, etc) and you had 2 UPS switches on both ends? would the voltage regulators in the UPS save your cheap equip?
Comparison: Business DSL from XO (Formerly concentric) used to cost ~200/mo for 192 up/down. (we had hosting services bundled with that)
Since it was a "home office" and we never took advantage of the "Business perks", canceled the dsl and went residential cable internet. 3 meg down, 256 meg up for 50/mo. add 50/mo for hosting and volia!
My problem with HDTV is that the delay between hitting the button on the remote, and the channel actually playing. it just destroys the channel surfing experience.
I agree. And sadly, honda and mazda are switching to the U cut keys, instead of the traditional.
and the problem with U cut keys is that theyre near impossible to have a cheap "spare" to keep in your wallet just to open the doors when you lock the keys in the car.
FTA: LightScribe blanks will cost more than ordinary discs, but Verbatim says the difference will be less than the price of a sticky label and the ink needed to print on it. But anyone wanting to use the new system will need to buy a LightScribe drive, and that will cost around $200.

why do you feel sorry? I'm downloading the file and its coming in at ~2 mbit/sec. the server is fine (until everyone wakes up in an hour).
People don't even download Ashlee Simpson songs for free.
Of course! Free is not encough to ask for. They pay me to download the songs.
sorry for being OT, but /. doesn't have a private message system, so I'll have to comment about your sig here.
Being modded funny doesn't improve karma. It used to, but not anymore.

it doesnt work on my dell.
Firstly, I'm running defer's i8k utils (fan control program).
First it BSOD with ACPI.sys complaint, then i reboot.
Kill i8k utils, run speefan, it shows blank output. OH well.
not really.
have someone to intorduce?
I don't consider sig comments to be OT, because there is no private message system on /.
Anyway, don't take the sig too seriously (because I don't). Its just a running joke.
I'm 21 so not *too desperate* yet.

the firewire interface has a tcp/ip stack.

that, and you're paying for business service.

How is the delay compared to broadcast HDTV?
My problem with HDTV is that the delay between hitting the button on the remote, and the channel actually playing. it just destroys the channel surfing experience.
They can finally service hubble, instead of letting it fall into the ocean.

no, i'm being sarcastic.
I'm just a simple man who is trying to BS a BS. I don't believe in using euphemisms to soften the blow for those who are politically correct.
For instance, Dick is Bush's Cheney.

I have a friend with a laptop under Worst Buy warranty.
she sent it in to them in late Dec, still hasn't gotten it back yet.
She calls but they just jerk her around. My next advice is BBB...

In a loser pay system, wouldn't it be possible for SCO to spend all they have, lose the case and simply close shop?
They're dead anyway. Might as well go out with a bang so they will be remembered in Econ text books on what a last ditch effort for funding should be.

yea, learned that the "hard way"...heh its ok tho. someone else modded it troll.

The idea behind AA419 DDOS is that the hosting providers have been either unresponsive or unwilling to pull their accounts.
The extreme measure is to consume the alloted bandwidth to the account and thus take the fake bank offline.

Actually, from what I've heard.
Walmart will refund literally anything, even if it is something they don't stock.

Well, amazon protects them from having to ship you a stick of gum for "free" because of the $25 min order.
As for the 80/year free thing, well they're counting on not everyone takes advantage of it to its full extent, thus profit!

A small correction. It's pronounced "FOX News" but its actually spelled "FAUX News".
