    What to do with 20mbps upstream

    Not that I know of. My current 15/2 has been thoroughly abused without incident. And as far as TOS goes, I'll take the risk. You give a civilian a tank, you're going to have problems whether or not you tell him not to drive it. :)

    What to do with 20mbps upstream

    Of course I have to use it! Think of all the bandwidth-starved children in Africa! ;) I have indeed thought about remote rsync ... hd webcam is an interesting idea but would be boring as hell to watch. The 2nd link in my original post is the guarantee to stay out of legal trouble while...

    What to do with 20mbps upstream

    I just discovered that Verizon has a 20/20 fios option at my address, so naturally I upgraded without having the slightest idea what I'm going to do with all of that upstream bandwidth. Anybody have a suggestion? Currently I'm thinking about...

    iPhone fiasco on AT&T's online store

    For the foreseeable future, I'm SOL. The blog has all of the details on the whole process. Suffice to say if I ever get an iPhone out of them from this order it'll likely be long after the 3g release.

    iPhone fiasco on AT&T's online store

    But The fact remains that a customer service rep told me that shipment *was* the iPhone, that the shipment was listed as weighing 2 pounds on DHL's tracking info, and that as of now the phone itself still hasn't shipped. Our dev team is trying to get a phone to test our app on actual 2.0...

    iPhone fiasco on AT&T's online store

    I have been pulling my hair out dealing with AT&T this past week. I started a blog to try to publicize their antics. Depending on who you are and how close you are to the situation, it's either entertaining, sad, or extraordinarily frustrating. Give it a read and see what you think...

    Memory problem w/ OC'd E4300

    I'm going to feel like an idiot if this is the root of my problem, but I noticed a review of the board on Newegg that stated that the default voltage for RAM on the board is 1.8v. Can anybody confirm this? If so, I'm running my RAM undervolted by 0.3v which could very well be what's causing...

    Memory problem w/ OC'd E4300

    PCI-E is set firmly at 100MHz. One of my dislikes with the DS3 is that it wants to set too much automatically. No thanks. I get a blue screen either straight out of the gate or right after the splash screen using 4-4-4-12 timings with default CPU settings when I'm using both sticks. I can...

    Memory problem w/ OC'd E4300

    Here's my setup: Intel Core2 Duo E4300 Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Corsair XMS2 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 (4-4-4-12) Using either one of the DIMMs individually, I can get the system to 3.0GHz @ 1.4v without a problem. When I put both sticks of RAM in (whether in dual channel mode or in slots 1 and 3)...

    Asus M2NPV-VM Video Problem

    Every time I go into the bios using the onboard DVI for video, the display goes into this weird pattern. The screen will flicker a few times with horizontal and vertical lines over the image, then a copy of the screen image will scroll up from the bottom over the original then back down. That...

    Radeon X300 Dual Monitor Trouble

    So I had an ATI tech support rep tell me that some X300's "just don't support" multiple displays. Odd considering there's a secondary display adapter in Device Manager. I'm not convinced ... anybody have any suggestions? Maybe there's a different firmware version I could flash the card to...

    Radeon X300 Dual Monitor Trouble

    Ok I feel like an idiot for having to ask about this, but I just can't get the darn thing to work! I cannot get the secondary display on my PCI Express Radeon X300 to detect my second monitor. I am using a Samsung SyncMaster 710N on VGA for the primary display and am attempting to use a Dell...

    ATX power switch w/o mobo

    I think that's probably the way I'll go. I would use an AT power supply, but I'm having a hard time finding one with a high enough power rating. I'm going to need a good 400+ watts to safely run 9 cdrw's, 1 cd-rom, 1 hard drive, and the controller.

    ATX power switch w/o mobo

    I have a "stand-alone" cd duplication controller that uses a 4-pin molex power connector. I also have an ATX power supply I'm trying to use with it, but obviously I'm having a little trouble getting it to power up without installing a motherboard in the case, thereby defeating the purpose of...

    Used the $15 off $100. Just for kicks I tried to stack them but of course it didn't work. Paypal shows it is sending the full amount to the seller and then breaks out the coupon amount + the amount coming from your account. ie: $285 was sent to Joe Blow ($15 coupon and $270 paypal account...

    Linux for CD Duplication Tower

    I'm looking for a Linux distro to use for a cd duplcation tower. Right now it'd just be a small 3-burner setup using the onboard ide controllers but in the future I might want to expand using a promise or other ide controller. It'd be going on a relatively slow machine and I'll only need it...

    Check your mail for Bestbuy Catalog

    I was sure mad that they wouldn't let me interview anyway. When a test full of ambiguous questions decides that I wouldn't be a good employee before I ever talk to a real person something is wrong somewhere. One step closer to a Gattaca scenario where somebody simply submits a DNA sample...

    Check your mail for Bestbuy Catalog

    Oddly enough, I failed the personality profiling test 3 times when I was applying at Best Buy. They said they couldn't even look at my app without me scoring "green" on both sections and that the computer would automatically delete it. I even had my gf watching me the 3rd time I took it and we...

    aopen's dothan (pentium m) atx motherboard

    Maybe I'm completely off base here, but wasn't Intel touting a setup like this as a competitor for the mac mini? If that's true, how the heck do they expect to be able to hit anywhere near the same price point?

    Usable Linux distro for POS machine?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to see if Vector will work for me, and then try a few other options you all have presented here. If I can't find a good solution, I'll probably just install m0n0wall on it and use it as a firewall and such. Edit: At the moment I'm waiting for a PS/2 to...

    Usable Linux distro for POS machine?

    I have an old machine that I'd like to give a second life as a Linux box. I have very little experience with Linux but am willing to dive in and learn what I need to in order to accomplish my goal. The two primary purposes for the machine will be to browse the web and to play mp3s. It's an...

    That's odd. The status when I pull up the page says "like new and available". Edit: Oh I see on the sale page where it says 0 left. I wonder if my order will get kicked back then.

    I'm not sure if these are the same speakers as the original v2.400's with one extra satellite, but I had a set of those a while back. For computer speakers, they were pretty decent although the midrange was really lacking. I have since upgraded to recording monitors and haven't looked back. A...
