maybe the collective mods, or in fact just ca3le since he is the only one responsible for all this in not just a moral but a legal sense, should get their heads together and hammer out a solid guideline as to what may and may not be posted. for example no help with filesharing progs, no links to torrents, hubs or whatever new mechanism to steal stuff, no links to ... you get the idea. then all of us can read it and will know what to report in the future. i feel silly reporting a post to mod because i think it goes too far into illegal activities when the initiator or at least one or more of the posters on the thread are mods. it has nothing to do with wanting to denounce people, more with instilling a little more respect for the rule of the law.

i think the only reason you feel like the only mac user here is that with the number of people posting here, you yourself are representative of the market share apple has. with you being active statistically speaking there should be no other mac user here. as for macs being good comps, no doubt. good kit, decent os, just the proble, of all other non ms os's, lackadaisical support by the broad mass due to the fact that it's just no a big market.

if you wire the router's antenna port dierectly to the wireless cards antenna port, you minimize loss. any other way you lose speed to interference from one of the millions of little interference generators in a standard household and you also lose speed to the wireless security. unless of course you are running something like wep, in which case you migh as well set the encryption to off.

i would /expect/ some affection from my cat if i left him locked in the basement without fooe or water for 4 days.

hbo reruns it every 6 weeks or so.

give him credit for quoting the one post that uses the inaccurate rounding method to prove himself right.

the point is there is no one answer to

and what am i? chopped liver? sure. ignore the troll. he's just a troll. never mind him. don't bother even feeding the poor troll. A Happy New Year to you anyway.

a lot of the rounding errors are intentional. a 250 gigabyte hardrive has 250 000 000 000 bytes capacity. when shown in windows or elsewhere it "shrinks" to 232.8 "real" gigabytes because there the 1024 is used as the step between the kilo, mega and giga, not 1000.

all of which confirms my point about an open net being a result of ignorace, not trust. implying trust in a case like that would probably be seen as malicious abuse knowing full well consent is not given by any jury.

well, you should forward all of them this will make it safer for you since anything coming in at non bf2 etc. ports will be blocked. unpacking and unrolling the trojan properly is sometimes tedious, but it makes the whole thing a whole lot safer. in this case setting up port forwarding is a few minutes of work that lets you rest a little easier in the future. remember, you only need to set up port forwarding once, not every time you start playing....

as van stated in his quote, the correct formula for kilobits to kilobytes is kilobits * 1000 / 8 / 1024 it is of course easier to ignore the small detail of the multiplier in kilobits being decimal 1000 and in kilobytes binary 10000000000 = decimal 1024 and just divide kilobits by eight. this however creates 192 extra bits per kilobyte. sounds negligible. but that is an error of 19200 when the result is 100 kilobytes. the devil in this case is in the detail.

exactly the kind of people that inadvertently run a wireless access point.

does this help? don't know what revision (a,b or c you have, this is for http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1200&question=DI-604%20/%20DI-614+%20/%20DI-624%20/%20DI-754%20/%20DI-764%20/%20DI-774%20/%20DI-604_revE%20/%20%20DI-614+_revB%20/%20DI-624_revC%20/%20DI-624S%20/%20DI-614+_revB%20/%20DI-784

what router is it?

lack of knowledge of a security problem is not trust. it's ignorance. why do you think aohell is still in business. because there are many people out there that just don't know any better. every open network in range of you is probably the result of the user buying a router tyo hook up the 2 or 3 desktops in his house and the wireless being on unsecured by default. he comes home from radio shack where they of course sell him the more pricey wireless model router and plugs it in and voila! free internet for anyone in range. without his knowledge, hence without his trust.

now he walks over tp the neighbor, gives his spiel, and it turns out that the guys router /is/ secured. so now the person who's implied consent to use the connection he had isn't the one that has the connection he is using. uh oh. how will the other guy who'm he doesn't know so well react when he tells him that he has 'accidentally' used his connection....

taking the router out of the link and hooking the modem direct to the pc running the server will of course ensure that every port gets forwarded to the computer...

under ideal conditions it is. if two programs are running at the same time and use parts of the proc. differing from each other in the ideal way they can be executed almost simultaeneously on the core almost doubling the core. hence the p4 extreme edition with dual cores /and/ HT that can look like a 4 core proc. under ideal conditions. the problems are, as stated above, that not all software likes being executed in parallel and safeguards have to be in place to prevent one thread from changing data while another is using it.

splitters only work for the analog cable. digital cable usually has a settop box like directv or dish network that has one decoder card per box to descramble the signal, deal with pay-per-view etc. etc.etc.

yes. and like i said you will probably need to forward the port to the server. from what i saw on the site the udp one... but check the faq on that. otherwise the router gets udp packets on port 8767 and doesn't know what computer on the internal network they are for. in that case it may send it to all or it will discard them as an attempt at mischief. probably the latter. so you have to tell it that you are expecting stuff to come in on that port and that it is ok for the router to send it to 192xxxxx

i never said you were responsible for it, but it would be the responsible thing to do. besides, you would be helping out a guy that has at least one guy and possibly more leaching his speed. he is probably wondering why his net is always so much slower than advertised speeds. and if one of the leechers dl's stuff in violation of the law he ends up responsible for it. help educate the world one user at a time. and i'm not telling you to rat out amc, just to inform bright house that they have a user that needs help.

if the router is in a dmz and the comp the server is on isn't there is a problem. you still need to give the others the ip you receive from your isp. http://www.whatismyip.com that displays it for you.
