  1. Re:A modem is NOT a router! on Intel-Powered Broadband Modems Highly Vulnerable To DoS Attack (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not the router, it's the shitty hardware accelerator that can't fail back to software mode when the hardware locks up due to shitty tables.

  2. The SPS is tied directly to the PPS, thus the PPS is at fault. If you bothered looking at the dozens of test screencaps in the thread, you'd know this.

  3. It's not the bandwidth, it's the packets per second.

    As a gay miner, can confirm. Drilling holes of all types is always fun and arousing!

  5. Re:People like Musk need to do more homework on Elon Musk Outlines His 'Boring' Vision For Traffic-Avoiding Tunnels (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Boston Traffic can at least get past 15 MPH most times of the day.

    Come on over to the 60/15/10 junction strip and let's see what you think of 3 hours for 2 miles just to switch highways.

    Just give me any machine that could actually full-tilt bore without stopping at 125MPH. Just one machine like that would make me the best prospector on the planet.

    Oh, and then to boot, in Los Angeles and many parts of SoCal, lots of those tall nondescript buildings Elon might want to tunnel under are actually hidden oil rigs. Again, good luck with that, or even thinking about tunneling anywhere NEAR them.

    I think Elon simply has no clue about this state's geology.

    "What are the ecological impacts of boring thousands of miles of tunnels?"

    In SoCal? Quite heavy, given we're sitting on a ton of oil and gas.

    Good luck doing this without hitting a gas pocket by accident and blowing everything to shit.

    "The solution is to ask why is traffic so bad in the first place."

    That's an obvious answer; nobody knows how to fucking drive in the first place. Have you driven SoCal highways? The only place I've seen worse is the LBJ.

  10. " I am not sure why IT workers don't sue for age discrimination more often, actually. It's rampant."

    The majority of us with the balls to sue can't because - get this - the limit for age discrimination is 40+, not say 21+, as it should be.

    "Over the last five years we've seen the emergence of a new concept: the video game as a service."

    It is absolutely not new, it was called an 'arcade' forty fucking years ago. Guess what happened to the majority of them?

    They shut down as home gaming became possible/affordable.

  13. Bram would be better off... on BitTorrent Inventor Bram Cohen Will Start His Own Cryptocurrency (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    ...taking the failed scam that was GemCoin, and actually make it a viable thing by backing it with something other than the worthless amber which the Chinese were trying to trick everyone into thinking had value. Opals, Emeralds, Topaz, Tanzanite, Kunzite, Morganite, Jade, etc. are all highly valuable, and only need a little work to obtain. You'd probably dump far less energy in actual mining than you would running mining rigs like with current Bitcoin.

    This is why I use pricewatch.com. Newegg advertises on there and regularly gets beaten.

  15. Re: Louisiana is one big sinkhole on Louisiana's Governor Declares State Of Emergency Over Disappearing Coastline (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    "What is the ground composed of and what does the water table underneath look like?"

    That entire area is in the Mississippi Delta Floodplains. Everything from Memphis to the Gulf of Mexico is practically FLOATING on a giant aquifer. All it takes is for New Madrid to go 7.5 or higher to put most of everything from Memphis down to Hattiesburg underwater. A large influx of water on the floodplains further south would probably cause a quicksand effect (and in fact there's tons of that in Louisiana) and simply wash everything away or drag much of it under the ground (as we witnessed with Katrina and New Orleans.)

    "If a veteran comes here and start using his military background to support his accusation of cowardice aimed at other users, he's opening the door to questioning his own courage."

    Sounds like you think I'm a veteran. I'm not. I'm the grandchild of a very fucking high-level veteran (Lt. Colonel) who fought everything from WWII to Korea and Vietnam. He knows what real humans are composed of. You very obviously do not.

    Does Google not bother hiring black hats to check for this kind of stuff? It's obvious their white-hats have no BOFH credentials.

    "Can you explain how being drafted makes you an expert about courage?"

    Well, unlike the assholes who dodged the draft like fucking cowards who didn't want to lose their money and privilege, this person sucked it up and went and kicked some ass and survived.

    So they know more about courage than those draft dodgers, and obviously knows more about courage than you since you lack even the most basic critical thinking capability to have come to such a goddamned simple conclusion.

  21. Please. I can take the same memory to another motherboard and fuck with the bus manually to overclock it. Don't you know how to bit-bang-bus, old timer?

    Do you even basic Wireless AP mesh networking?

    It's not like the Writer's Guild has actually done anything worth a shit since their last strike (which got Heroes well-fucked.) Even most Anime has more substance than 99% of the shit Hollywood has had its writers putting out in this day and age.
