I can still remember the day I replaced my 21" Trinitron CRT with a 22" TN "2ms" panel, and how disappointing it was when I jumped into my first game. I want that responsiveness back. Does 120hz really get us closer to CRT, from those of you who remember CRT and have a 120hz now?

Be warned...not only did Echo Workstation's Universal Restore not work for me when I needed it to (despite hours of support calls/emails and various boot media), they like to take advantage of their customers. I bought Echo Workstation, and it was not compatible with Windows 7, so rather than...

So, I'm reading the specs on the Nook color, it's an IPS LCD and they quote 8 hours of read time. I'm due for a phone upgrade in January, and it really makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better to just read on the Android-based device I'll buy then.

I know, I know. Every day I read this thread again, I think of this, but I can't help myself: I was thinking of making this my new signature: Because IP class has something to do with L2 broadcast domains!

See, this is the problem. This guy believes himself to be an authority on something he obviously isn't, and is misrepresenting himself as such. I find it sort of pathetic. Go get the knowledge, and when you have, you won't need to talk down to others to feel good about yourself. You still...

alkemyst, although I know this is only going to generate a new series of attempts to defend your incorrect understanding of the subject, here is the very first part of the description of the problem Intel gives in the PDF (if you even read it): So what you need to take away from this is that...

You mean you'd create a new account as your "CCIE friend" to disprove me with anecdotes again? The fact that you can't produce any sort of evidence to support your claim tells the entire story. Here kids, read the Wikipedia article, and pay special attention to the "Address details" section.

alkemyst, all I can determine at this point is that you're full of shit. Your anecdotes mean nothing to me.

I have an 8-gallon compressor I bought off a guy on craigslist for $65 in my garage, periodically take the PCs out into the garage and blow them out with the overhead door open. It's been a great investment since compressors are good for lots of other things, like impact wrenches, nailers...

It is really not up for debate. It is a known fact that MAC addresses are issued as globally unique, but that on some hardware, they are user-configurable. Until you can present some evidence to the contrary, please stop speculating over how many Ethernet interfaces have been created in the...

Ah, but it is ME essentially, since you make an Ethernet connection to a cable modem, and you can have the ISP do many things with that connection - it can be point to point, internet access, point to multipoint, etc. I guess it depends on your cable provider, but the ones I've dealt with here...

Not really. Just about any area with a DOCSIS system has ME available, and the cable companies are doing the same things with Ethernet that the tier 1 carriers are doing.

Ah, you again. Just about every cable company is offering ME, they have a pretty large footprint, and businesses requiring that kind of bandwidth typically aren't in the sticks. What are you, a professional troll?

I guess you aren't reading anything but the first sentence of my posts, so I'll just stop here.
