  1. Hey ninjageek, nice seeing you post. I enjoy reading as well, thought about getting something like you have, then again it might end up being another electronic device sitting around getting dusty. Mom has a nook , and she loves it ! She has not had even a glitch as of yet , and she has an older one , dunno which one it is , but her friends have the same one and none of them have had any issues either, and to me , thats saying something.
  2. Hoe many PPD is your PS3 putting out ? I believe mine is getting around 900 give or take 251
  3. I think the IP address will be useless and outdated within 20 years give or take. Everything will be accessing the same databases , running off each devices network. No need to allocate any specific identification if all data is shared. How you say ? Maybe one of the oldest techniques known to computing. Random number generators. Each time a device requests data , it's given a unique hash for that specific session. Which expires immediately after the session closes , which is within milliseconds after the transmission ends. With speeds we'll likely see by then, the movement of information will be thousands of times faster then it is now, so no need to allocate a specific machine ID. Run off the rails with that vision.
  4. From what I understand , bonding of channels can be referenced as a freeway , say there is one lane going either direction. Ten cars , five each way. The cars second in line each side will be tolerant of the leading car. And so one. Widen the road by one lane , so there is now two lanes , each direction. You can now add ten more cars, five each side , and get the same results as if you had one lane ten total cars. The length of cars on the one lane road will be longer, or , a longer wait to get to the destination. As the lanes or channels multiply, more data , or cars , can get in the same space at the same time waiting to be processes. Does not necessarily mean the cars will go faster , just more width , or bandwidth capability. In the modem there is a file that the ISP loads , which mandates how fast data ( cars ) can travel through it. So no matter two lanes ( channels ) or three. The traffic will be throttled or adjusted when it passes through the modem. The reference is a best just that , as data goes out the same lane as it comes in, different frequencies.Same with channels, different frequencies.
  5. You should be able to see in the modem basic information what it is set at. As stated already , bonding is only really needed ( in residential applications ) afaik, to obtain higher bandwidth. Most modem adresses are set automatically at http://192.168.100.1 Depending on the firmware and what the ISP has decided to keep " secret " will be what you can see. You can see a bit more sometimes , but disconnecting the cable from the modem and restarting it. While being connected directly to the modem with your computer.
  6. The slowdown around 1500 hrs is across the board , all the kids get home from school and start twitting each other , torrenting and spilling cheetos and root beer on the keyboard from laughing at some dink on youtube puking when he breaks his arm trying to skate over a roof top
  7. You know it ! Honestly though , if your getting into GPU folding , I have not had my hands in it yet. As Blako says , the cards are too old for what clients have been developed. Sad but true. Think of the thousands of older cards out there doing nothing. What a waste. But hey, thats what it's all about , promote the new and upcoming , and leave last years card to the dust. ( little extreme yes , but I'm disgruntled over it lol ) Nice work on the research too Blako
  8. TWC is known for having a mess to clean up, chances are the drop needs replaced. If it's buried I'de almost bet on it. Leaks in the ariel lines , and hodge podge nodes /cards replaced with old hardware and overall over sold nodes. The company has gone through some serious issues over the last 10 years, and the infrastructure was not maintained while the last owners pillaged the business accounts.
  9. Why not make that machine sing , and install a linux distribution ? I mean seriously , if your gaming on it then I might be able to understand. Otherwise , You can do it ! We'll get you all the drivers you need. In fact grab the network device model number and info, and we'll find the driver for you to save aside, true enough , that is all you really need, you can get the rest on the fly. So no matter what you do , your OK.
  10. Have you loaded up a live version of Linux , had a look to see if the recovery partition was set to boot ? I don't mean to sound so sceptic , but I might be leery of any recovery disk that did not specifically say, or labeled from the manufacturer . These guy's might be a savior to your issue. At the same time , you may end up with a bit of unwanted software on your system. Too bad we have to be so careful who we allow access to our machines, but we do.
  11. On another not e, if anyone finds a way to run this ATI 9800 Pro and a ATI 9800 for folding , please speak up , it's a shame there not churning out some calculations.
  12. Yes you can fold on ubuntu, and it's very easy. Do you have a 64 bit machine ? On a 32 bit , just grab the latest linux folding client ( by clicking the link you will download ) OR open terminal / applications>accessories ~ terminal Move to the tmp directory Type: cd /tmp Then we download the client Type: wget http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/FAH6.34-Linux64.tgz Next we open the archive Type: tar -xvf FAH6.34-Linux64.tgz Now we'll have the proper files to run folding, but first we should make a home for folding, it's own directory. Type: mkdir ~/folding This will make the " folding " directory in the root path, now we move the core to the new directory we just created. Type: mv fah6 ~/folding Now we will configure folding. You can do it from where were at , but best practice is to know and see where were tuning what from. So lets go to the folding directory cd /~folding You can type : code ls to see the contents of " folding " directory if you like Configure folding first time: Type: ./fah6 -configonly You will be presented with the configuration , but the client will shut down after your done. We can re configure anytime if we make a change that we do not want. Don't forget to use testmy.net's folding team #44352 And don't get confused during the configuration , just type your username , the team number, and hit "return" for the rest, unless you already know you want to make some changes to the default config. When your finished , we run folding by typing in the " folding " directory: ./fah6 -verbosity 9 The verbosity flag will show more of your progress, your percentage completed Thats it ! If you have a dual core processor , then use the "-smp" flag after " ./fah6" , so it would look like this: ./fah6 -smp You can use other flags , but this is a simple way to get folding up and running. Leave that terminal reduced, it will kill the client if the window is not open. We can configure a way to run on boot, and other options , but for now, your folding !
  13. Nice up there tdawn
  14. RR gave me more trouble then a crack head with a butane lighter and no fluid, I very much so enjoyed the move. Sporadic results constantly. Hardware failures monthly, and a terrible company they subbed out the line work to.
  15. Yes , it points to your personal testmy.net graph , maximum speeds , average speeds , and the last roughly one hundred tests taken.
  16. Just bumping the topic to let you know were listening , I'm certain ca3le will reply soon
  17. You need to get hold of my supplier, for 500 you can build your own i5 , unless you need the peripherals ?
  18. Have a coke and a smile
  19. You do not need to do video w/ skype. Basically it's the " new " IRC beefed up by corporations and getting to be bloated as of late. Personally I use it daily for business in several countries. I can make a quick call or text , if I must then a video chat , and if the timing is right have products in the mail that day ( depending on the time zone I'm dealing with ). I use it for most outgoing phone calls , for around 3 bucks /month I get worldwide VoIP.
  20. not an entirely bad idea , in fun. Although the transfer might skew the test results, unless done before the tests start.
  21. That is odd, once ca3le gets back in I'm sure he'll be interested in looking into that. If he isn't already.
  22. Never stopped
  23. Must be internal US networking is globbed up somewhere. Little lag on a 52 hit internal device over there.
  24. Thats one major difference in price. If many make the move your former ISP will be forced to lower there costs.
  25. I pop in generally once a day for a bit to harass as much as i can
