dark06. be careful. you may be fairly insensitive now but an allergy can start fairly sudden and can be brought on by repeated exposure.

measure again aftaer a good nights sleep. and stand up straight! suck that gut in! chest out!

well, if you're gonna put a weapons system on buildings make it a decent missile system. that way you have greater range and accuracy. not that shotgun approach from a gatling gun. "if we fire 100 rounds per second at the target we should be able to hit it most of the time." what concerns me is the congested airspace over cities. that would throw up a shitload of targets for the system. and if it decided to engage one... and then there is the cluttered radarscape in a city. all those buildings throwing radar images back at the system. someone next door opens the rooftop access door to repair an A/C evaporator. the changing radar image caused by the metal door swinging open triggers the target criteria and BLAMMO! no more repairman.

three words before converting fat to ntfs (or any other partition work for that matter) backup backup backup and did i mention you should have a copy of your important files before you start?

those ants are bugs. being bugs, they want to join other bugs. what better place for bugs than on the internet? all those bugs around the web attract them to no end. but seriously. the south american fire ant (from your description of a painful bite) is an evil motherfucking piece of work. if they are already invading your home you need to contact an exterminator and have him do your whole place and yard. especially if you have pets and/pr children. if in a suburban neighborhood best to get together with the neighbors to ensure that a bigger swath of land is cleared of these bastards. the funny thing about em is that besides being highly dangerous to people that are allergic and nasty fast spreading pests otherwise they love electrical fields. they will go into breaker boxes, electrical conduits, anything that has electrical power and is accessible (like your modem). they will actually try to nest there. this can turn into a fire hazard since eventually they will short something out and their bodies and other crap they drag in can then cause a fire. your local exterminators should know how to deal with them if your area is adffected. if your area has not previously had a problem with them be sure to also inform the authorities so a larger scale extermination campaign can be started.

well, cholla, that is the exact problem. woulda, shoulda, coulda. but what if the missouri had ignored standard procedure and not fired the chaff. would the system have locked on to the missile? would it have been able to defeat it? there is an operator on the system that is supposed to help ensure that the right parameters for engagement are set and that the right target is being engaged. apparently the system never saw or locked on to the missile in the first place, otherwise it would have tried to get a volley off at the missile. or the operator shut it down on the report or the realization it was engaging the wrong target. in that case the missile would have hit a ship in the normal "running around with your head up your ass time" which it would take everyone to figure out what happened and let the system operate alone again. these kinds of weapons are meant solely as weapons of last resort, a shotgun for a last ditch effort. the british missile system did its job. this is why carrier battle groups have guided missile cruisers, destroyers and frigates in attendance. to offer a long range air defense umbrella. if the incoming gets past the long range standard sams and the shorter range sea sparrow then the system has already failed and one can hope for, not count on the phalanx doing its job. and don't forget that those anitship missiles are designed to defeat exactly the kind of point defense weapn like the phalanx. as for the judgement call wether or not spreading two airliners all over manhattan would be better than having them hit the towers, i don't want to be in that position. look what happened at the pentagon. even though it was an aircraft of similar size the damage done was comparatively small because there was no building to collapse. (nothing comparable to the towers anyway). but what if that airliner instead of being intact when it hit the ground and skidded into the building had spread burning debris all over the building?

you did see the stripes?

the reason it worked is because of what fallowearth said. the router has a mac addy. the pc's nic has a different one. copy the nics to the router and the modem sees a different one. and there is no problem doing that. it's just that some services do or used to use the mac address as another form of identifying the system logging on.

and the mac id is something different (a lot different) from the ip. it is, for one thing, a lot longer. and it is actually intended to be a unique identifier for a network device. so every nic, router, modem etc. has its own. the clone mac address in most routers is intended to solve the problem of some connections being valid only with the mac address of the original computer hooked up to it. the router can report that number and it will look to the isp network like there was no change.

the likelihood of that is about as good as ... there, up in the sky! is it a bird? is it a plane? no! it's a winged pig! ... nevermind

the phalanx CIWS is an automatic radar guided enclosure for the GE M61 20mm gatling cannon. this enclosure tracks incoming targets and outgoing cannon shells to make the two meet. this system was conceived for point defense of naval vessels. if an incoming threat is detected the system will engage it with cannon fire. threat classification is automatic and does not utilize IFF systems. there is a land based version that is fairly identical but uses a different type of ammunition to prevent friendly fire injuries. the land based version fires a high explosive instead of an armor piercing round to pepper the target with fragments and reduce the risk to ground personnel from rounds that missed the target. since its targets are meant to be incoming rockets and mortar shells the damage caused by the fragments should suffice to destroy the target. as for using this system for point defence of buildings, it does not seem like such a great solution. had the WTC been so equipped the system would likely have been able to down the airliners. given the effective range of a cannon of that caliber (1 to 2 miles) the airliners would likely not have crashed into the towers. they would however have crashed into new york city regardless, causing significant harm. the other problem is the amount of air traffic generally existing in a large city. how long do you think it would take before an automatic target classification or operator error shot down a police chopper or a chopper trying to land on a highrise helipad? from the article you cited: and further:

it's too damned small. they should have gone wirh something like this:

do you have pets? have you checked the cables for physical damage? do you roll wheeled furniture or wheelchairs across the cbales? are the plugs damaged/dirty /corroded? it might be just what the thing says. bad cables...

i prefer the british version. (the owrkingclasskind, not the oxford university kind.) swearing doesn't sound as coarse. and arse just looks better than ass.

my parents are great. they put up with me.

very good job old boy. not only resurrected an old thread but also added to the derailment.

so how well does your internet connection work when you see these problems on the game? is it generally laggy or is it fine? and are all of the 4 comps playing or are they doing different stuff on the net?

what you just said. is the internet connection generally slow when the problems occur? and is the game local or internet based?

their iron clad system is boring. successful, maybe. but boring.

are you playing this in a lan or is it on an internet server? are you using wireless? if so are there other wireless devices or appliances like microwaves, cordless phones etc where you are using the wireless? if internet game is your internet connection fast/slow when the problems occur? is there a lot of other traffic when they occur? any info like that would help... also, what is the configuration of the net you are playing on/from?

well i say i hope germany gets eliminated asap. they play some of the most boring soccer on the planet. they don't deserve a single win.

most parts on a mac except of course the board you can grab straight from the pc shelf.

stick 'em in the antistatic bags and then leg it to the ups store or kinkos. they can dump em in a box and fill it with packing beans or whatever else the mfr. wants. if they want the foam type shock absorber thingies specifically call the mfr. and ask them if they will fedex or ups you a box with the proper packing and a return label. some companies do go the extra mile for customers. (and for some companies things like that are automatic.)
