    I have founded emule going down hill while eDonkey with Overnet and the plugin supassed it quick.

  3. Use The Official eDonkey Client. on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have found the eDonkey client better then emule, mlDonkey and shareaza. With the bittorrent, fasttrack, ftp, http and g1 plugin the speeds you get are vastly better. As well I always like overnet better then the edonkey network and I never found kad that good.

    Doesn't turn up as many hits for my site as google and is much uglier. I would say it still needs a lot of work.

    RTFA - "No amount of extension cable will make a wired hands-free usable - the wire always conducts enough RFI to cause trouble, regardless of any filters that might be in place." Wires really transmit. I used some spare wire to wrap around my wireless to boast the signal.

    6 days isn't that long when you think about having to splice 5,000 wires together or fiber. I've never seen one of those trailers with free pay phone. Telecommuter and you don't have a reasonable plan in case you lose your internet connection or the power or your computer? I would say screw you it's your own fault. When you depend on it that much you should have a back up plan. Hell I don't make money on it and I can generally connect to the net with a black out or my internet down. I don't disagree that the tech support sucks.

    Honestly letting a credit card server be comprimised and not doing anything about it until it becomes urgent. Then ignoring more possible exploits? If I was a customer I would be might pissed. Buy something from your company and then go get you a lawyer.

  9. Our Home and Native Land, True..... on 200mbps DSL On Its Way? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have to say I'm glad I live in Canada after hearing you all bitch. My dsl seems pretty decents. No download or upload limits. Uploads and downloads cap at a reasonable level. Bell doubled the speed for free. I do have one arguement against cable right now though. When the cable and phone line got cut down the street. Bell was there pretty much right away and it was fixed in 2 hours while it took rogers (cable) all night. Cable doesn't seem to consider itself critical yet.

    The park near me doesn't allow pets (Wonderland) Probably for that reason. As well a kid is fair more likely to think it's fun then a dog.

    7 foot leash? Isn't that a big problem to everyone else in the park too if you and your kid go running forward 7 feet appart?

  15. Re:Low tech alternative: on Legoland Introduces Wi-Fi Tracking for Kids · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would agree with that parents can get distracted but leash or no leash it should not be for long enough for the child to have wander out of site. If your a little kid in the time you take to wander away you can have put a thousand bad things in your mouth you should have put there or bumped yourself or end up pulling the cat's tail and getting scratch. Your right a hand-hold is not safe enough. A leash is not safe enough. Children require supervision! I personally think leash do hurt the child. You have to wonder how the children grow up not really been taught right from wrong, for instance when they start to wander and the parent comes and grabs there hand and gives them a strict talking to. Parents do get distracted, but when they get so distracted that they must tie their kid to them, you have to wonder if they really can give the kid the attention they need. FYI, I do not have kids (too young).

    It uses a cartesian plane probably but you could probably base it on mouse speed or anything you want. Lets say it tracks 100 of my mouse movements. How are you gonna to figure that out? It's not a true random number because humans don't generate truelly random numbers, but if the government can firgure out what someones thinking why do they even need to crack the encyption?

    What if the key was generated using random mousemovements from the users or mic noise both of which would be impossible to recreate.

    It more depends what is being counted though. Your never going to get all of this fiber at once. If you count from a local isp the speed record or from the backbone or from a rual isp it all depends.
