  1. Comcast problem in Denver on Comcast Discloses Throttling Practices · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have Comcast in Denver. I can not get a VPN connection to work now. The packets get to the gateway but get dropped on the way back. Also, I cannot load www.parts-express.com, it consistently fails when I know the site is up. This has been consistent for a month. Will Comcast fix this if I call with a tracert, or is Qwest an alternative?

  2. Re:Morons on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    Country Buffet eateries have signs that say kids eat for .50 cents. Has anyone tried to to have a kid eat for half a cent. The whole Country Buffet staff may have no grasp of the difference.

  3. Re:She did great! on Forbes Now Thinks Carly Saved HP · · Score: 1

    The DL-360 G1 (800Mhz up to 1.3Mhz) was a real piece of crap. They eventually fixed the power supply fan issue, where the machine would just quit. We replaced the power supplies in about 90% of the machines we had. They also have some SCSI backplane issues, where they will lose their drives. It is a shame about the SCSI issues since the DL-380 G1 had the same Raid module and I have never seen a failure. The current DL-360 models seem to be fairly stable. The main problem with the MSA30 storage shelves is they will think a drive has failed due to odd bus errors, or will revert to Ultra 3 speed for the drives. HP does not seem to have a fix for this. HP has a lot of suggestions that never work, a great way to blow lots of man hours.

  4. Re:Come again? on Dropping Linux Helped Restore Corel Profitability · · Score: 1

    Years ago, I saw Corel Linux in some office store for $169 and thinking WTF? I did not buy it. I was running RedHat at the time.

  5. Re:There really isn't much data... on Changes in HDD Sector Usage After 30 Years · · Score: 1

    Just remember, Reiserfs handles sparse files efficiently. Rather than saving 1000 100 byte files in 1000 individual allocation units, Reiser will fold them into the tree.

  6. Re:Audiophile pish on TCP/IP Speakers · · Score: 1

    Laugh all you want, but the only amplifier I will connect to my sound card is a Dynaco stereo 70. I use a pair of them for four-channel. They are really great for the low end on movies.

  7. Re:"Breakdown" on Google Summer of Code Project Breakdown · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if Google plans to open source Google File System? That is the one thing I would love to see. I have looked at PVFS and Lustre, but want the redundancy of GFS.

  8. On the subject of Mobile Athlon on AMD 2500+ Socket A CPUs Compared · · Score: 1

    I have a mobile Athlon 2400 with a shuttle AK32E motherboard. I am running cpufreqd to idle at 1 Ghz when possible. I am not able to change the core voltage with the powernow-k7 module only the multiplier. I would like to know if anyone sells a good desktop motherboard that also lets you change the core voltage when running Linux.
