  2. Re:Here's my letter on VA Reprices Again · · Score: 1

    WR Hamblect is taking reconfirmations but *not* changes... and they have severly oversold according to an account rep tonight. Since they don't do lottery, unless you were buying a lot, have a good trading history or a lot of cash in your account don't expect to get shares through Hamblecht. And if you tried to sneak a change in (I did, dumb, I know) you'll almost certainly get a rejection.

    The best thing to do in such a case is be there the second the market opens. Good luck.

Now thanks to open source Natalie Portman, a few lines of code here and there and she understand the wonders of a Decstation 5000/120 and why the NeXTCUBE is still the most sexy box ever made.

  4. EFF where are you? on Anti-Scientology Site Shut Down · · Score: 1

    As a regular reader of xenu.net and a staunch
    critic of $cientology I have to wondere where
    the hell is the EFF. This is one of the first
    real cases out there where they can prove their
    metal and worth as an orginization to actually
    defend our online rights. This is a case that
    can certainly make or break the EFF... maybe
    that is why they are being so quiet on this one.

    $cientology must be stopped, and they must be
    stopped now.

    On a side note for any $cios reading. As soon as
    I dig myself up one of your DC7 looking lil' ol'
    spacecraft I'm going fly home and kick Xenu in the
    head for setting off all those nukes in the first
    place and messing with mother Earth. (For those
    that don't know the above bunch of smack is
    atually accepted truths in the higher ranks of

  5. Global warming? on Donate Spare Cycles for Climate Prediction · · Score: 0

    Doesn't exist.

    Well as a man made trend. Sometimes it amazes me to see how quickly those here on slashdot who are "supposedly" the enlightened ones... miss the boat.

    Read some real science, not something rehashed by cnn for the US congress and you will be suprised to learn that this supposed global warming isn't from us. And its not affecting the world the way the news would like you to believe. Check water locked ice levels and you will be suprised to see the portion that should be melting, isn't. For a good overview bring up deja.com and check out sci.skeptic.

  7. Re:San Francisco ADSL service stats. on Cable vs. DSL, Explained · · Score: 1

    You must not be monitoring your line very well. There have been at least 7 outages in SF that I am aware of. The last one was rather short at about 2 hours... however the previous outage lasted for about 19 hours. Also the fact that you have to wait about 15 minutes to hear their "we know there is trouble" speel is quite annoying. That and once your line is changed to DSL you can't get any kind of normal support anymore, they immediately transfer you to the DSL department which is only open 9-5.

    Then again when it is up (which is most of the time) it is very fast, and I am always bumping up against my upper limits meaning they have plenty of bandwith to spare.

  8. SDSL. on Cable vs. DSL, Explained · · Score: 1

    I've had ADSL for quite a bit now and been more than happy with it. But now... oh my. For $159 a month I can get 1.5m-6m/384k. Yes thats right 1.5m dedicated in and 384k out for a measly 160 a month. The downside? One IP address. But I can deal with NAT'ed traffic for that. Its kinda weird to be downloading at 40 and 50k a second and watching streaming anime off the net at the same time... all the while serving a shoutcast station.

    Well weird for me because I was at a startup ISP in the early 90s who "KICKED ASS" because of our dedicated 56k pipe to the net.

    Number one fix for most of the sites out there.

    Keep lots of spare servers out there... make sure you have plenty of ram to keep a great deal of spare servers sitting around and set your spare server limit high. Cutting down the timeouts to shorter levels will also free those spare servers up faster.

    Number two? Use ab.c to check how things are going after you make changes to the conf file.

    Of course there is some *real* tuning you can do but for the most part, people don't really need it. Right now with a stock 1.3.6 and plenty of spare servers I can get 453 requests a second out of a dual PII-350.
