  1. It should at least fail gracefully. I'm having the same BSOD issue with my dell monitor webcam.

  2. Re:Netflix in 4k on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 1

    But if I wanted to hook up my Windows or Ubuntu PC to it, it won't run 4k netflix.

  3. Re:Netflix in 4k on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, trying to use an Intel NUC as my media center with Ubuntu and as far as I know, can't do 4k Netflix out. I really want an all in one solution that I can cast to, block advertisements in browser, play all web video and do 4k Netflix.

  4. Netflix in 4k on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 5, Informative

    As of right now, Netflix only plays in 4k directly on a smart TV or a few authorized media devices but no mention of a self made computer.

    I did that. Talked with tier 3 support at TWC. She said she saw the problem but could not do anything about it.

  10. Time Warner throttled me on FCC Chair: It's Ok For ISPs To Discriminate Traffic · · Score: 1

    I just posted a thread over on reddit about Time Warner throttling my server. A 200mb download file download from them at 100kiB/s even though many TWC clients had 50mbit connections. That same 200mb file could be downloaded at 10mbit (2,000 kiB/s) when a proxy server was used.

  11. Re:Verizon can suck it on AT&T Introducing Verizon-Style Shared Data Plans · · Score: 1

    For any of the shared plans, it is $15 per extra gig. $1.99 per MB is only for the basic phones. Yes, Verizon sucks.

  12. 20 GB for $200, not 200 GB on AT&T Introducing Verizon-Style Shared Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Typo in the summary makes the $200 plan seem reasonable for giving you 200 GB of data when the article shows it as 20 GB of data.

  13. Re:It's a network issue, not a PLC problem. on Project Basecamp Adds Stuxnet-Like Attacks To Metasploit · · Score: 2

    This is partially true. While the network should be separate, it only takes one computer with a USB cell modem connection to infect the PLC. Hell, it doesn't even need to be a live connection. A contractor with an infected laptop can infect the whole network when he plus in to diagnose the PLC. Bam, the PLC is modified for a future fail.

    Hulu is blocked, or at least was, the last time I checked. Yes, you can hack it, but right out of the box, it didn't work.

  15. Re:Who's hosted on ThePlanet? on Explosion At ThePlanet Datacenter Drops 9,000 Servers · · Score: 1

    I had a bunch of sites affected by the DNS going out as well. For the important ones, I went in, changed their DNS at the registrar to use GoDaddy's DNS, then just point directly at their IP address. Works fine for a temporary fix. For my smaller clients, I told them what was going on, and they gladly just said they'd wait it out.

    I have this set and I have to say it's one of the coolest Lego sets EVER. I even had to go back and reclaim some of my old Legos from my little brother after 10 years or so.

    Yes, I'm 25 and still play with Legos.

    bfd is a good program to run with APF.

    http://www.rfxnetworks.com/bfd.php

    it looks through your /var/log/secure file and automatically adds attackers to your /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules file.

    It works really well for me. Catches a lot of attackers.

  21. I want to control the weather on Perfect Weather on the Net · · Score: 1

    Basically take the Earth Simulator computer, that predicts weather patterns across the entire world, and modify it to add points where we can add heat, or remove small amounts of heat to create wind. For instance, if you heat up a cold valley, then wind will be produced by the difference in temperature. If you take colder areas from nearby, you can push the cold air into a hotter area, and vice versa, by creating pockets. I am not a weather expert, but if you simulated the effects on the globe over periods of time, you could easily create weather patterns to remove droughts. Ok, one of the big applications would be for the most recent fires we had... We could have moved the cold front over quicker, or created an on shore flow by heating up the ocean by some space mangnifying glass that heats up specific places of the ocean. I really think this idea could work. Pros: Cool down Mountain resorts so I can go snowboarding more often. Even sell weather patterns for certain places like skii resorts, farmers, etc. Remove famine in 3rd world countries by providing a consistant environment to farm in. Make Southern California an even better place to live in! Cons: If an George Bush gets a hold of this, he'll use it as a weapon of mass destruction... heating up countries he doesnt like, tornados, mass flooding, etc. What I need to do this: 1. Super Computer... estimating 50-100 tFlops Maybe a SETI like project with people running it on their home computers. (fastest computer now is a 30 TFlop earth simulator) 2. Objects in space to heat up certain parts of the earth OR objects on top of hills (mirrors of some sort) to heat up valleys small amounts, few degrees in key points. Simulate this for a couple weeks, and see what happens.

    What we really need to do is program the lights so that traffic continues to move at the most efficient pace possible. I've sat at so many lights that don't turn green for minutes and there is NO one coming the other direction, that pisses me off to no end.
