Justice Dept. proposes tougher copyright laws

thanks a lot. i find some of your arguments slightly flawed. for example, of course the beer can designer or brewery or whatever is not an accessory to drunk driving, since the intended use of the product is recreational inebriation. which is legal (except for age, dry counties etc, but that is irrelevant.) what is illegal is th consumers act of operating his vehicle while or after engaging in the activity of drinking to an extent that impairs him physically and/or mentally. these torrent 'links' however are inteded solely for the facilitation of illegal activities (excluding the sharing of share/freeware, which is what some will claim is all that goes on there). there is no 'excuse' or reason to post that information other than for illegal purposes. and since copyright infringement is illegal in sweden as well that argument seems to hold water. (to me, at least, but then that's my opinion)

actually, ftth (fiber to the house, i'm guessing) implies fiberoptic cable connected to you, meaning you could probably run gigabit or more on it, the assymetric connection is solely because of marketing concerns. they don't want people buying a 60 dollar connection to host stuff, so they limit speeds and or cap it. traffic on the web is expensive.

hell, i'm running one of my intel cpu's completely without a heatsink and it works just fine.

one byte = 8 bits. 2500 kbps= ~300 kBps.

because i am the all knowing all seeing master of this mortal coil? but seriously. if you don't know why i know, or how i know, and i don't, then i can at least make an educated guess and say that due to you not knowing how i would know you probably have things running on your comp that aren't supposed to be running there. from viruses to trojans to all kinds of other unsavory things.

Custom computer will not start
resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
you have onee flimsy cable power on or so with a 2 prong plug from the ps to the mobo, right? remove that from the mobo, and short circuit the plug for a sec with a paperclip. it is the power on line referred to in thespecs i posted below. doing that will not harm the board,it will however turn on the power supply if the reasoon it's not turning on is a problem with the pin grid on the board, as you have describedthings not fitting. and the standoffs are the plastic thingies that are supposed tokeep the board from touching any metal sve forthe screws you used. if the plug looks like something to hook to a drive or onto the boards power plug, you're off base.it should look like the other led, pcspeaker etc plugs. i suspect that you have a problem with either the board pinouts description or the switch in the case. -

resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
once you make sure the mobo isn't touching the case etc. you might as well try hotwiring it like i said. take that little power on cable that goes from the ps to the board and 'jumper' it with something for a sec. if that starts the system, you know that you have a problem with the pinout being weid. -
Custom computer will not start
resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
you should be able to see if it will turn on or not. just don't run it too long. -

resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
i wouldn't do it for long, but as long as you leave the drives disconnected and the graphics card isn't too extreme it shoukd be fine. it's just to see if the thing will boot. what'd the rating on your old ps? -

resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
hm. put the old ps on the new board, see if it turns on? seems like you have some issue with the signaling cables. -

resopalrabotnick replied to resijs's topic in Networking and Hardware
nonononononono! lol if i wanted you to fry it i would tell you to supercool the ps py immersing it in water then turning it on to see if some of the condensators were too warm to condense the power. or something like that. but hats off to yo for thinking twice before acting on a misunderstanding. the poer supply connects to the riser ofthe mainboard where all the leds, pc spaker etc go with a cable that is marked power or something of the kind. it is not like the power cords, it is one of those flimsy thingummy cables. take that one and short it, that is the one that the cases switch, or the board, if it is coming out of a standby mode, shorts to tell the ps to go to full on or turn off. see 3.3.2 page 26 http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/ATX12V_PSDG_2_2_public_br2.pdf -
well, ms support doesn't tell me squat online how to find the ports used. write em an email and ask.
