The new Nine Inch Nails and Garbage albums are getting alot of play time for me.

I only got around 2000Kbps using that test at home. If I use a different speed test page (like this one http://dfw.speakeasy.net/) I can max out my 3Mb/768Kb connection both ways.

[plug]If everyone here got AudioScrobbler accounts and joined the TR group:

We wouldn't need threads like this! [/plug]

Just trying to get the TR group there up to the 10 members we need to start getting weekly group charts

Losing 6 lbs. in a week is pretty remarkable if you're not sick or trapped in a desert. 6 lbs. (of fat) is 21000 calories which means you'd your net calorie intake per day would have to be -3000 calories. You might have been dehydrated when you got on the scale and saw -6. The 1-2 lbs. you gained wa...

I share a server at ThePlanet and they are very responsive, even though we're a "little guy" with just one machine.

Your OS options are pretty limited though from ThePlanet. They don't offer FreeBSD 5, for example, and the only Linux distributions they support are Redhat and Debian.

People usually use inverted mice in flight sim type games because that is how it works on real aircraft. Push the stick forward, you go down, pull the stick back, you go up. It seems more natural for those types of games.

I can't stand it for FPSes though...

Was 228 this morning so that's -1 for me.

My last power bill was for 899 KWh and my final bill was 78.77. So my net cost is $0.0876/KWh.

This is in Dallas using Reliant.

I like the flavors I've tried. However, the stuff is way too expensive, at least around here where only specialty grocery stores carry it.

Anyway, I'm low carbbing it now as well so most soda is off limits anyway.

The auto show in Dallas just started today and we went down to take a look. I took a few pics as well of the highlights:

Nothing you haven't seen before but gratuitious pictures of expensive cars are always a good thing

Yeah, this girl is old news at this point. However, some things are timeless!

You could hook your cable modem directly to a switch/hub. However, this would require you to have multiple external IP addresses (1 for each computer you plan on hooking up) and most ISPs only give you 1 by default so only one computer connected to the switch could access the Internet. Using a route...

My daily visits are Slashdot, TR, and HardOCP. The [H] does a great job linking to other sites' new reviews and such so I usually visit a few more sites a day via the links.

I didn't lose anything this week. I started at 260 and hit a plateau at around 245. Now I'm at 229 and seem to have hit another plateau. I guess I'm destined to hit them every 15 pounds

anand

No change for me this week

Still at 229.

Rotten dot com, the site that claims that it's "pure evil since 1996", scored 86% good

I agree with kvndoom's assessment

This is exactly why I only use the really small font when I write my messages. But seriously it should be possible with Javascript to resize externally linked images. I know there is a phpBB mod for external avatars that will resize them client-side to fit the forums maximum avatar size. The same t...

There is the Fedora Legacy project: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/ The latest RPM version they have available for OpenSSH is 3.5p1-11. With Redhat, you don't have to be too concerned about having the latest and greatest version because Redhat backports security fixes in later releases to the release t...

Yeah, from the screenshots it doesn't look like much has changed. Something along the same vein is Audioscrobbler / Last.fm . Audioscrobbler uses a plugin for your media player which keeps track of all the tracks you've played. After you've played enough tracks it figures out other uses with similar...

The UDMA33 interface on a BX board shouldn't be a bottleneck. 1x CD speed is 176KB/s. 52x is then around 9MB/s. This shouldn't be a problem for an interface capable of 33MB/s. I had a 52x writer on my old Abit BH6 and was able to write CDs at full speed using it.

The BFD package I listed earlier can actually automatically block IPs found to be trying to brute force their way in. It can run any arbitrary command you want to it to when a brute force atttempt is detected, so just tell it to run iptables to add a rule to drop packets from the detected IP address.

anand

Yeah, make sure root login is disabled via SSH. This is probably the single best thing you can do to secure SSH. Disabling ssh1 is also a good idea which will force ssh2. You can do this by adding/editing the "Protocol" field in the config file to show only 2. If you haven't already, install the BFD...

Yeah the satellite images for my area seem to be several years old. It's pretty wild looking at all the big expanses of grass in the images that are now filled with grocery stores and such.

I've heard of one site like what you are describing, http://www.elance.com. People can sign up as contractors and then other people can put in work items and contractors will submit offers. If a PHP/MySQL solution is fine I can give it a try. I am pretty competant in PHP and can probably whip someth...

I tried it out about a year ago. I found some cool music but that interface was about as annoying as they come and I eventually got tired of it. Hopefully the interface has improved by now...

It's not sloppy programming. It's a good idea. If you based your time off of local time, it can really make things messy. Lets say you start writing a file at 1:59AM on the day DST ends. Your file has a creation date of 1:59AM but by the time it finishes writing it's 1:00AM because DST ended. Now yo...

It's a good idea until the invites you contributed actually get used. Then you get 50 of those damn "john doe has accepted your invitiation" emails at one time

Wish there was some way to disable those...

I got stuck right around 245 too for a while even though I was still doing what I was supposed to be doing. Just stick with what you're doing and your weight will start coming off again soon

Did it change to Monday at some point?

Weigh in time?

I came in at 229 this morning so that's -2 lbs for me.
