The G27 does a pretty good job at letting you know when you're getting unstable.

So if I put my Android phone and my new jphone in the same pocket, will they fight?

[Bradstard]

We finally got our internet connection working properly at the office.

[Dave_B]

About time...

So did you use a managed switch internally and set to 100 FULL? I still call BS on that BTW, makes no sense unless those items are NAT'd...

[Bradstard]

Yes, and each port had to be 100 full also. VERY strange! BUT, the switch would not link to the fiber with a normal cable at 100 full. I had to use a crossover cable which was something I tried out of desperation after finding out my next upstream device beyond the MUX was a Cisco 7600 series switch. Ryan was there that night for the fun too.

[Dave_B]

WTF mate?

They have $hit fuxored on their end. I can understand the rate limiting via percents, but they can also do it via KB, which they should do anyway to avoid/eliminate this issue.

[Bradstard]

So I FINALLY got the cable modem working!!! Not bad for just shy of 90 days...

John, what type of ISP? Those numbers sound like my Comcast cable back in TN.

[Dave_B]

Not bad for what I pay for... 5 MB connection...



And that's on a G-series wireless connection. WOOT

[Erik95LS]

[coolhandluke]

Holy mess!

[Bradstard]

FIOS?

[Dave_B]

I'm guessing fiber at the fire house? Public Works > ***

Regular-ass TWC innerweb



Must be a bunch of people looking at boobies online today.

Anyone have a free utility for erasing/overwriting a hard drive? I've heard of ones that completely write over the drive with zeroes or something, but I can't find them.

[Dave_B]

Low level format?

[Bradstard]

Do a search for dod wipe.

[splat]

Found one, thanks Brad.

[Bradstard]

Anyone know of a digital picture frame that is wifi and doesn't actually store the pictures on the frame but rather randomly pull one from the thousands stored on your PC? I'm up to about 450gb of pictures and way too lazy to go through them to put them on a frame. Any ideas?

[Dave_B]

No, but that would be AWESOME!!!

[98spec022]

and potentially dangerous

[Doespike]

That would be pretty cool. I have a pixor frame but lazy to load/change pics. Upload from compy would be the nice.
