In past lives well before gigabit, I've actually run dual 10/100 on a single cat5 line by crimping 2 pairs to each of 2 jacks. Sorry, but it was long-ish run and I was a poor college kid at the time.
$6 for a 12 foot cable, the same brand 50 foot is $30. There are even cheaper ones that work just fine, but i wanted the sleeve-ing.
I bought 3 of the above cables. $18 total and with a few other things I wanted no shipping. Great cables, a bit stiff, but still $40 for an HDMI cable?
ohh hey that's because they turned off PPPoE for your part of the network. It is not officially supported. set up your dsl modem to handle the connection(PPPoA) and then DMZ your router. I was having exactly the same problem as you a few months ago, and switched my setup and it has been running great since.
Except at the city level. Many cities in my area have granted comcast exclusive right to wire up the city in exchange for doing the whole city, including outlying parts. City government==government.
Does your DRV box work? does the sound volume remain relativity consistent even ignoring the commercials? does your Comcast DVR cause your TV to reboot around once an hour?
All of the above are not issues when streaming netflix all day saturday via my PS3(when PSN was up of course).
more like "others may not have the correct bit of silicon directly to the screen and not the mini hdmi port, because the MPAA wants you to have the worst experience possible, and never introduce others to things you like."
I like knowing what is running on my android phone and therefore boot unlocked, and rooted my mytouch 4g. This allowed me to install CM7, and now i get around 20% more battery life, and full access to my phone.
I'm not really sure what you think you could break by doing this? I guess you could get it stuck in a bootloop, but that is what adb and backups are for.
My button is disconnected. Why? because i have small children that like pressing buttons with lights.... So i have the gui button(xfce here), root term, or the PSU switch on the back of the computer if I move it far enough away from the wall to reach it.
My reset button and HDD/power lights are all disconnected as well. My most recent buildis quiet enough that I need to put my hand on the fan grill and feel for the air to figure out if it is on or off.
TL:DR, not everyone has working power buttons, or wants to use them the same way.
right and very few of those business uses are using "boatloads of data". Think video production, 3d animation, CAD, etc. We are talking multi GB of part files, or TB of raw video footage.
and yet provides no way to simply double click on the script to run it... It may not have supported dragging files onto it, but i'm not sure i even made it that far.
You sniff it at the firewall. which in my case is a full fledged linux box. What to talk on the internet in my home, it goes though that box. I could care less usually if my phone is talking to my desktop...
Hmm my dvd rips seem to be around 1.3 - 2.5GB each. These are 480P rips into h264 with AAC audio. I'm using the lossless_slower profile from ffmpeg and no restrictions on bitrate.
Now Serenity on blueray is ~30MB/Sec but that is VC1 not h264. Cars is around half that. So using the cars number, and figuring that my 2 tvs will both be in use for around 3 hours weekdays, and 6 on the weekends...
Not only would i need a 30 - 45 MB/sec internet connection, but i would need 27 hours of video at 30MB/sec(15 for each tv). 27*60*60*30/1028 means that i will need ~2800 GB of bandwidth each week just to watch TV. now there is an average of 4.3 weeks per month. We are now talking 12 TB of video per month. We are assuming that there is a quality reason for the industry pushing bluray.
Now account for the move to 4k2k video at some point in the future and you'll see that we really do not have enough bandwidth.
Most of my complaint with the capping is that they are apply it to accounts that signed up when it was being advertised as unlimited. Also the lack of the ability to see how the bandwidth is being used, and that things like blaster and whatnot can use up my bandwidth even if they get blocked at my router.
I'd love to just move over to linux, but all of my component suppliers only support windows(some not even vista/7 only XP). Also there isn't anything like autocad (btw like autocad in this case means 100% compatibility with autocad. All macros, blocks, everything needs to work), inventor, revit, on linux.
So while I would love to use linux for work, and have a useful scripting language, and programs that understand that the data that comes out may not be in the form I need it to be in... but I'm stuck with windows XP.
hmm I think if was looking for a pfs gui, that the name "Qtpfsgui" would have immediately told me what it was, a gui for pfs in QT. granted that's not a good marking name, but oh well.
larger screen, more storage space, longer battery life, more powerful gpu, bigger on screen keyboard, a full sized hdmi port, multiple sd card expansions....
does the ipad work without a mac or windows box yet? If not then it is not an option for some of us. Also I expect some of the nicer android tablets coming out in the next 12 months to have HDMI ports, microSD slots, and be hackable. Don't get me wrong, I've played with an ipad1, it works well and there is no denying the hardware, but how do i get my music on it without itunes? It also probably only supports h264 level 3 main profile in low bitrates which is different than my PS3 and will require me keeping dual copies of everything.
glad to hear i'm not the only one that does that.... did it to day when some woman in a BMW 5 series pulled up behind me in a 35MPH zone doing probably 45-55MPH, while busy gabbing on her cell phone. She then spent 15 minutes behind me doing no more or less than the posted limit. Had she been reasonable i would have continued with my 5mph over way and it would have taken 10 minutes...
because it is hard to find computers that survive the transition from -30F to 75F+ daily during the winter, and over 180F in the summer.
No really, good luck building a computer in your trunk that doesn't overheat if you try to use it when you first turn your car on in the summer, or that will work right at -30F again right away when you turn your car on.

please explain to me how you would crimp something that looks like micro hdmi at home reliably?
right, but the nissan leaf uses no gas, yet drives on the roads, and therein lies the problem. EV's and plugin hybrids.
and yet provides no way to simply double click on the script to run it... It may not have supported dragging files onto it, but i'm not sure i even made it that far.
libx264 seems to do a good job using up all the CPU i can though as it (a 1055T x6 now). Emerge does a decent job as well.

Have a gander at the android source if you want to know, or at the source for Cyanogenmod if that is what you are using.

in a normal road going car.
I know for a fact that an F1 car can brake at much more than 1G. Same goes for most single seat cars.
