  1. How are you people getting flash to function within safari OSx 10.9 I've downloaded it installed it , still getting plugin failure, searched apple discussions and the same tripe over and again. Allowed all sites in safari to use flash. Please stop developing in flash. Just allow it to croak belly up peacefully.

    Speedtested an old computer

    A few days ago I booted up a computer built 1999, which is now 15 years old. It has 160 MB of RAM and a 400 MHz CPU. It is running Windows 98SE with unofficial SP3. I play classic DOS games on the computer, with smooth VESA video modes and sound, like these games are meant to be played. Of course the computer has a network connection, because only Google provides all the answers these days. I was quite surprised with the internet speeds the computer was able to pull. The speed was actually around 18 MBit, as shown by the loading indicator on my status bar, which was completed when the HTML progress bar was only midway. OOKLA Flash started, but speed test was pathetic due to insufficient memory. I had optimized the system with TCP Optimizer. Evidently Win98 does support Receive Window Scaling, but for some reason it was still off by default in WinXP. So there is much room for tweaking in all these systems.

  3. Escape from XP browser game A platformer action game where the player must evade or destroy burning recycle bins and damaged computers, and leave subtly influenced about the inferiority of Windows XP, Office 97/2000 and cathode ray tube displays. According to the game, Windows 2000 was in "ashes" when XP was released, and even though the player is escaping MSIE 6, the golden icon of a later version is shown. Doesn't work in all browsers. Windows 2000 and XP are several versions of the same core product. I've used both, and XP seems to me more stable and tolerant. It doesn't need to be restarted as often when adding drivers, and doesn't refuse to boot in as many cases when the system partition has been altered. With the nonsensical interface theme removed, it feels almost like 2000.

    VZW in the forest!

    I'm visiting a friend in the mountains in Cotopaxi Colorado... litterally middle of nowhere staying in a camper. No reception... but I found a little patch of service, 4G and I've seen up to 15 Mbps. I hopped on my laptop and downloaded a couple GB of HD content and sustained 2 MB/s for the entire transfer. Amazes me. This result was pretty average. :::.. Internet Speed Test Result Details ..::: Download Connection Speed:: 10869 Kbps or 10.9 Mbps Download Speed Test Size:: 12.4 MB or 12736 kB or 13041664 bytes Download Binary File Transfer Speed:: 1359 kB/s or 1.4 MB/s Upload Connection Speed:: 1543 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps Upload Speed Test Size:: 832 kB or 851968 bytes Upload Binary File Transfer Speed:: 193 kB/s Timed:: Download: 9.599 seconds | Upload: 4.418 seconds Tested At:: http://TestMy.net Version 13 Test Time:: 2014-04-10 00:05:35 Local Time Location:: Greeley, CO US >> Destination:: Dallas, TX US Validation:: https://testmy.net/db/MWks2XE.oegONfJ TiP Measurement Summary (Download):: Min 4.57 Mbps | Middle Avg 11.73 Mbps | Max 16 Mbps | 47% Variance TiP Data Points:: 16 Mbps, 13.94 Mbps, 14.47 Mbps, 13.03 Mbps, 11.9 Mbps, 9.73 Mbps, 8.68 Mbps, 10.54 Mbps, 12.82 Mbps, 13.39 Mbps, 12.63 Mbps, 12.72 Mbps, 12.01 Mbps, 11.04 Mbps, 16 Mbps, 11.75 Mbps, 7.89 Mbps, 6.82 Mbps, 4.57 Mbps More Stats:: https://testmy.net/quickstats/CA3LE https://testmy.net/compID/643729204093 User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) CriOS/33.0.1750.21 Mobile/11D167 Safari/9537.53 [!]} Better one from earlier... about 30 feet higher up the cliff. The mountain I'm on right now (but the picture was taken during the daytime) super remote location... Verizon is awesome. Now if they would just unlock the caps or charge a reasonable rate for overages. Technology these days... I'm in the middle of the forest, maybe 10 people within 30 miles and I'm getting 5 times faster connection than my first cable internet connection. Insane to me.
