    Router Drops Downstream Speed to ~9mbps

    So I did some more prodding today and the ISP confirms that they have their switch port set to autoneg. They also tell me that I am connected directly to their switch port, with no middle tier router from their end. Despite all this, and trying out a new TL-WR1043N router, I am still having...

    Router Drops Downstream Speed to ~9mbps

    Thanks for the replies guys. I will get them back on the phone and try a couple of suggestions when I get home and let you know what happens. By the way, is disabling autoneg not possible on consumer routers?

    Router Drops Downstream Speed to ~9mbps

    I just signed up with a new ISP that has pre-wired ethernet in my building. When I connect the cat5 directly from my computer to the wall jack, I get speeds of around 50mbps down/50 mbps up. However, when I connect my NetGear WNDR3400 in between, my downstream drops to ~9mbps, but upstream is...

    *OFFICIAL!* College Football Thread 12/6

    I really would love to see what these coveted Big 12 QBs can do against Florida. How many top 50 ranked defenses have OK or Texas played this year? How many have Florida played? And by the way, Old Miss is ranked top 25 in every poll this week (except the BCS of course).

    No Gift Boxes Please

    It's pretty simple, really. It's a cultural difference, either respect it or don't go to the wedding. And you would be seen as extremely tacky just to bring a gift out of spite.

    I wonder what is the Steven Spielsberg have to say now that the Olympic Ceremony was a blast...

    You should note that grammar != spelling != typo. You cannot infer from a typo that the OP does not have a good grasp of English, especially when said typo involves a proper noun.

    burglary now punishable by death in texas

    After the fact, perhaps. Not during the shooting. This guy did not have the right to play judge and jury just because he had a shotgun. Especially after the 911 operator (ahem, law enforcement) advised him to stay put.

    burglary now punishable by death in texas

    Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? These guys were suspects at best, and regardless of how timid and/or resentful of their actions you are, you can't just call people out as criminals then bring out your shotgun to shoot them at will. How fucked up is this.

    Floyd's Cycle Finding Algorithm

    Sorry, I should have been more clear...I guess I'm looking for more or less a mathematical proof or explanation as to why this occurs. I can observe what happens to the hare pointer, but it's not clear to me the reason behind this situation. For example, in the case that I mentioned, the...

    Floyd's Cycle Finding Algorithm

    This might turn out to be a rather naive math question, please bear with me... I have a question regarding Floyd's Cycle Finding Algorithm, specifically the choice of the value at which to increment the hare pointer by. For those unfamiliar with the algorithm, you can find an explanation...

    What's the Job Market Like Near SF?

    I just recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and was wondering if it would be worth it to move near San Francisco to look for a job if there were more opportunities there. Otherwise I would stay here and be making a decent salary. Does anyone know what the job market is like...

    Notepad ++

    Only thing that I wish it had is the auto tabbing functionality that can be found with emacs. For example in this snippet of code: 1 while (!done) { 2 //do something 3 } Regardless of how where the first non empty character on line 2 is, if you just hit tab in emacs, it will...

    Good boyfriend or sucky boyfriend?

    I still think white gold and yellow gold are two completely different things. In my experience, girls that usually wear white gold would not want to wear yellow gold.

    Thinkpad owners

    Over the course of my experience with desktops, I've gotten very comfortable with 1280x1024. I've also noticed that I'm quite fond of the the higher widescreen resolutions on the dell notebooks. And since I'm considering purchasing a notebook, I just wanted to know if the 1024x768 resolution...

    Anyone have experience with Geek Squad?

    I'm wondering if I should start recommending Geek Squad for ppl that ask me to clean their computers from spyware/adware. Are they helpful? Are they actually capable of going into the registry and fixing things without screwing things up or will they just recommend you to format?
