I've seen a similar problem with the solaris admintool. One employee created a user but accidently hit space before the username, realized the mistake and deleted the user again with the admintool. (And no, it wasn't me, I don't use that buggy admintool):)
All the post moderated up is about the mouse button thing.
Big deal. Some people can't take a joke.
If you don't like that last line, ignore it. Move on. Get a life. Go click on another story with your one-buttoned mouses. He has the right to feel that it's crippled by lack of proper mouse buttons. And he has the right to say so.
And please don't moderate this up, there's enough mouse button posts already.
An easy example would be comparing the ping for T1 and E1. T1 is 1.5mbit, E1 is 2mbit.
A T1 has 24 timeslots.
A E1 has 32 timeslots
Each timeslot is 64kbit. (24*64kbit=1.5mbit, 32*64kbit=2mbit)
One single packet can only travel in one timeslot.
One packet would have the same latency. Just like a train, you can have 24 or 32 wagons. You won't reach your destination any faster with 32 wagons, but you can get more people to that destination in the same amount of time.
A modem have 130-150ms extra ping to dialup server, because it needs to compress data and make it analog.
You are way off.
Latency and bandwidth has to be separated. Just because your high bandwidth connection gives you good ping doesn't mean that the bandwidth itself is the reason.
My ping to the moon will NOT get better with more bandwidth. It could get a bit better with DSL than modem, but NOT because of the bandwidth to the moon. uh. Ok I'm starting to get offtopic now:)
But that also includes the connection itself. And how the packets will be routed. Thing is, if I would to play with dialup with someone on the same net, also using dialup with modem, that could have better ping than me using a sucky cable modem with an ISP with a really bad backbone playing with that guy on the dialup.
you can tell him how you "use your existing Ethernet network, DSL or Cable modem services for smooth, low-ping gameplay"
Sure the adapter itself is probably faster than a dialup modem.. to the closest router, and there's noone there to play with.
IF the game requires high bandwidth, ping wouldn't be good on a slow modem, then again, the ping wouldn't be the only problem.
My ping was better with ISDN than on my ADSL connection.
And what exactly has "low-ping gameplay" to do with broadband? We measure in bandwidth, not the speed of one packet.
My ping won't get better to a guy in the US just because I have broadband, but I could get better bandwidth.
If you push him, he will compensate. If you stand in front of him and push him back, he will lean back until he gets out of balance, then he takes a step back just as you would.
Although... if he falls he would scream, "I've fallen and I can't get up".
He's heavy, so it's hard to get him to fall. He can even walk in stairs, not the fastest guy around but still.
HiperLAN2 and Bluetooth operate in different application areas and therefore complement each other. Bluetooth offers approximately 1 Mbit/s data rate in the 2.4 GHz band and is mainly intended as a cable replacement technology to connect peripheral devices to mobile phones and PCs in the Personal Area Network (10m), whereas HiperLAN2 is a more cable replacement technology for Local Area Networks (100m) supporting speeds up to approximately 54 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz band. As they are not in the same frequency band there are none of the interference issues that threaten other Wireless LAN technologies operating in the same band as Bluetooth (2.4Ghz)
Ah exactly, you can be as anonymous as in the "real world". So this shouldn't really be a problem.
What's important for me is that the contact informations for my domains are available to all in case something happens. I don't have my personal phone number public on the contact information, because.. well.. it's unlisted.:) Although, I have another phone line dedicated for my domains which is public. But that could just be a 555- number anyway.
And it could be important for verification purposes... domain hacked?
It's like a global phone directory -- without the option for an unlisted number.
But is it really? The owner of the number is the phone company, the administrator is the phone company. And we get the contact information for the phone company. If I register a domain, I will be the "phone company", right or wrong? Now if we talk about an email address (user@domain) or homepage (http://domain/~user) then there's no need for contact information and the user can be "unlisted".
I think it should be compared to a phone company contacts, not a phone directory listing.
You will always have the option NOT to register a top level domain. And get another private URL. How often do you pick your own phone number?

A little perspective? Ok.

Get off my lawn.
Aha, you must be that "audience" I've been hearing about.
Johnson:Colonel, you better take a look at this radar.
Colonel: What is it, son?
Johnson: I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant--
Jet Pilot: Dick!
Dick: Yeah?
Pilot: Take a look outta starboard.
Dick: Oh, my God! It looks like a huge--
Bird-Watching Woman: Pecker!
Bird-Watching Man: Oh, where?
Bird-Watching Woman: Wait! that's not a woodpecker. It looks like someone's--
Army Sergeant: PRIVATES! We have reports of an unidentified flying object! It is a long, smooth shaft, complete with--
Umpire: 2 balls! What is that? That looks just like an enormous--
Teacher: Wang! Pay attention!
Wang: I was distracted by that enormous flying--
Musician: Willie.
Willie: Yeah?
Musician: What's that?
Willie: Well, it looks like a giant--
Colonel: Johnson!
Johnson: Yes, sir!
Colonel: Get on the horn to British Intelligence and let them know about this!
I've been told that I can't use a cardboard box to put my computer on, for OSHA and fire prevention reasons.
Have you considered a metal box?
That's a license, not a copyright. The copyright is by default.

You must be new here. ;)
I've seen a similar problem with the solaris admintool. One employee created a user but accidently hit space before the username, realized the mistake and deleted the user again with the admintool. (And no, it wasn't me, I don't use that buggy admintool) :)
/home/ username
The admintool quickly does
rm -rf
After that, everyone just went home for the day.

Someone who's dumb enough to lock his keys in, in that situation, is most likely dumb enough to have locked in the cell phone too.
