  1. Re:Good advice - Always use your ISP for DNS on Beware of Using Google Or OpenDNS For iTunes · · Score: 1

    Third router, fourth modem, second line replacement.

    It's their shoddy local DNS. It's updating quite often. It's happening to every RR customer in my complex. I'm called quite often to do simple 30/30/30 to get them back on.

    It's DNS, as I can ping any external IP just fine. So can the apartment people, including our landlords.

    Seriously, that's a bunch of bullshit.

    How long do you think it will be before the first lawsuit happens over that, considering redirects without notification are against the rules as it's considered a function of spyware?

    RR top-tier residential service in Redlands, CA. (15/2)

    I have to reset the modem multiple times daily, or the router, because DNS is consistently fucked.

    "Consider what would happen if the route changed in the middle of a download: you'd start talking to a server you had no session with."

    Isn't that what the header packets are for? So each packet knows where it came from and where it's going?

    They couldn't get the simplest article on growing lights correct: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/12/23/build-high-tech-indoor-garden-winter/?test=faces

    It was so bad I had to actually create a FoxNews account to correct the nonsense. Looks like my comment is still the top one, at that.

    I won't trust this Fox News article any further than I could trust the one I linked. They seem to enjoy using outdated stuff AND they love to not cite any deep sources.

    Did you even watch the beginning of the video where the palm mute pad goes up and down, demonstrating palm muting?

    Now granted this isn't even close to being impressive. I can one-hand thunderstruck at about 3x the speed of Angus, cleanly, that still isn't anything.

    Yngwie? Nah. Yngwie is good, but there are tons of kids nowdays that can rip him a new one. I know of a blind Japanese kid that would kick his ass left and right.

    Dunno, I don't remember much of the last decade thanks to my accident so I think this will be passing by nice and slow in comparison.

    Now, find me a few more time wasters like planethunters.org, and sure, the next ten years might fly by relatively quickly.

    Yea, sorry, we've had that for quite some time in software (tomato, DD-WRT, etc.) so a hardware version isn't unexpected, new, or really that anticipated.

    "Go see a well made 3D movie some time. You will see how utterly wrong you are."

    3D has caused me SIGNIFICANT eye strain. My right eye focus is went to shit and I had to take up therapy to get some usable focus back.

    That's what happens when you don't use your muscles to adjust focus when something is automatically keeping a fixed focal plane for you.

    Don't use it, you lose it. You know what atrophy means, yes?

    That 512MB RAM with proper coding acts very much like 2-4GB of DDR2.

    Size isn't all that matters, you know. The bandwidth alone is insane.

    As for outdated? The newest AMD/nVidia GPUs are just now touching the PS3's theoretical performance of 2TFLOPS.

    The hypervisor slowed things down. Without it, and with direct access to the other locked SPE and full RSX access, the system in itself has the capability to perform on par with current PC systems of high-end gaming spec.
