Maybe get my dog one for christmas.Not a problem. In all honesty it's the same reason IPv6 is replacing IPv4. We ran out of IP addresses. With the 128-bit structure of IPv6, we literally have enough addresses for each person on the world to have trillions of them for themselves. (340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 total addresses, Estimating 6,840,507,000 people in the world, and we can determine that there is approximately 4.97451968 × 1028 addresses PER PERSON.)
All of this leaves us to wonder, what will we do with that many addresses?
Thanks,

I like that food for thought, I will remember that for sure. And I feel I have seen that likewise. Thanks for sharing it.Hi Guys
I thought I'd post a solution to a problem I had recently - it might help someone else. Last year I was getting 30+ Mbps down with Comcast using their "Boost" option (costs a bit more than regular). Then this year, it dropped to 10Mbps. Of course I complained to Comcast, ran all types of scans, checked my PC with HighjackThis, etc. Nothing. I have a Dell XPS with a mother board capable of handling 24GB of RAM. I had 15GB in it but then took out a 1GB stick to put in a 4GB stick giving me 18GB of RAM. I also have a bootable second hard drive "F" with Win 7 Ultimate but my primary "C" dive has Win 7 Home Premium.
The puzzler is the secondary "F" drive was still getting more than 30Mbps down but the primary "C" drive was only getting 10 Mbps. What's up with that? I tried everything until I discovered that Windows 7 Home Premium can only "handle" a maximum 16GB of RAM - Win 7 Ultimate can "handle" 192GB of RAM. When I dropped my RAM back to 16GB my speeds returned to above 30Mbps on the primary C drive.
The lesson for me is that if you put more RAM in your machine than your Operating System can handle, you might down grade your speed when you think you're helping.

Sweeeet looking machihnes. As an AMD fan that one is uber cool and a great price no less.

Is it PC to say new years? You mean we don't have to change that one yet?
Happy New Year to one and all. <hugs>

What speeds are you actually getting when you do a download?
-
I don't have that problem on 3G sprint, so no idea. I am totally unlimited so far. No reduction in speeds.

The best fresh start as always is a reformat if possible. I know you knew that. <grins>

That certainly is a big improvement in the last 6 years. Not bad Mtnfolk.

Its usuallly just best to enjoy. And not worry I'd say. Not like they are going to take it back.

I read it too. <grins>

When I was on Hughes.net mine ran best if I kept it clean constantly. Spyware, defrag, crap cleaner, and grounded including static. I ran 1030's DL with the 6000 modem. Just FYI I guess.

...... and if that did not work the supers super. Eventually you get someone who will care.

That test is crappy and lies. They have me faster with heavy torrents than I get unhendered on here. What a joke AT&T. I usually pull 1200 but they gave me 1500 pulling a load.

man o man...i feel used... thank you
Like a horse ............. rode hard and put up wet.

Eventually almost everyone for the most part will change their O/S. Anyone still on ME, 98, etc... There you have it.

Hitler comes to mind if this is true in all ways.
Reminds me of Sam Walton, it was a good store while he was at the helm personally. Now look at it. Nothing but a damned money machine.

So am I to ask was Bin Laden, Hitler, Sadam Hussein, Napoleon, or the rest angels? How is it the UK had world domination and even unuly tea taxes? Bullies are every where. Mostly depends at times which side of the fence you are on I suppose. We (the USA ) is usually invited where we went. Maybe we should have not bullied our way into WWII, It would have been so much quieter? <wink>

This commercial was used a time or two before with other stuff. Cant remeber right off who it was though.

It was somewhat accurate for what I have running with 3G. But yes its a bit outdated I am sure, as this thread is.

I wonder why this came up on my "view new content" section. Its certalnly a bit old. No?

Long ride just to say hi.

See if a free 30 day is available, thats what I did with sprint's evdo, and never did turn back after the 30. Any respectable ISP should offer that, that way a free trial run. Best of luck.
