  1. Re:My experience on Does Comcast Hate Firefox? · · Score: 1

    That's because it's the MAC of the modem that matters not your computer/router.

  2. Re:BookCrossing on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    Delicious Library is neat and I own a copy, but it tends to bog down with a large library. I would think it wouldn't handle 3500 books very well.

  3. There is... on How Does Your Personal Data Center Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    ...a certain person who has a full on data center in their basement including seperate power and HVAC. This person does testing for large network equipment vendors.

  4. Re:FP: What a great idea! on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually Cable TV was started to provide television to areas that couldn't receive commercial television signals (e.g. communities in valleys). That's why it's abbreviated CATV (Community Antenna Television). The original intent was merely to rebroadcast over-the-air signals.

  5. Re:So why isn't it happening now? on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 1

    Except that most cable companies face little direct competition. They face competition from DBS, but most face no wireline competition whatsoever.

    ad-ridden bullshit? I suppose every team having a sponsor emblazoned across their chest isn't ad-ridden?

  7. huh? on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 1

    No you're MAC address is not carried in an IP packet. You need to send an Ethernet frame to your upstream router that is going to have your MAC address as the source MAC in the frame, but your MAC address doesn't go past the interface that you are connected to on your gateway.

  8. Wrong on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 1

    Routers still look at all 128 bits of the address. Many ISPs are using /127s or /126s on their PtP links.

    I believe you meant too many online conversations.

    Actually I believe punctuation was his problem. I think he meant:
    You do know that most Americans never do a budget, correct?

  11. Re:T-Mobile Sidekick on Smartphone Suggestions for Text SSH Use? · · Score: 1

    I'll second this. For the price you can't beat it. Mine was -$50 from amazon.com. That's right I got $50 back. As others mentioned there's considerable lag, but that seems to be more a function of GPRS than the Sidekick II though. I had the same issues using PPP over BT with my Powerbook.

    Will store your configs including SW versions in a CVS tree. You could easily parse this stuff and dump it into a DB.

  13. Re:Great idea, but it won't help on TiVo to Offer SDK · · Score: 1

    DirecTV is releasing their own DVR. TiVo missed the boat by not partnering with any CableCos. They don't have an HD TiVo that will work with cable. For that reason I just cancelled service on my two TiVos and have switched to two Motorola 6412s from Comcast. Between two tuners and HD TiVo can't compete.
