<0> thats a very valid point actually
<1> huh? 32bit regular PCI is around 100Mbyte/sec
<0> i know
<2> Would I be correct in saying that wireless internet means I just need a wireless networking card and I can use the internet if there is a wireless internet signal in my local area.
<3> 32bit on a 3ware isnt horribly slow
<0> i just got rid of a 3ware 7504LP
<4> how many channels do you need
<5> Jet: Thanks
<0> it did 8mb/s read/write on 4x120gb 8mb cache ide drives
<0> 4
<3> I forget the exact #'s but raid 1&5 are slower, but usable for simple storage
<4> http://www.highpoint-tech.com/
<4> er
<1> Cpt|Kirk; if that signal isn't encrypted/secured, and if your wireless adapter is the same format as the wireless internet.
<4> http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr2310.htm
<0> yikes...highpoint is software no?
<4> note: it's software raid 5
<1> there's many kinds of wireless, from cellphone EVDO stuff to wifi to wimax
<0> rocketraid?
<5> rocketraid software for hardware raid ;)
<4> but, it's reliable, when compared with xp
<4> and it's cheap
<4> and they are pretty fast
<4> brb
<0> ok
<0> btw
<0> what do you use?
<1> fiberchannel and scsi
<0> if you dont mind me asking
<0> haha
<1> for my servers
<2> peerce, say 1mb adsl
<1> ADSL is a copper format.
<1> not wireless
<1> Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
<2> 1mb wireless then
<1> Cpt|Kirk; could be anything.
<2> for internet?
<1> is this a commercial service?
<2> just wondering how this works... say I have a laptop and I am spending 2 weeks in New York. If I have a wireless networking card, can I find a wireless internet provider and just use my credit card to rent the service for 2 weeks with a 1mb connection?
<1> Cpt|Kirk; depends on A) what that provider is offering, and B) how they work.
<2> So it exists
<1> there's lots of free 'wifi' floating around at places like espresso bars.
<1> wifi aka 802.11 has a range of a few 100 yards max under most conditions, so its not like its a blanket service.
<1> its a wireless LOCAL network
<1> so, 'in new york' is remarkably nonspecific
<2> ok
<2> so I can like sit on the subway and have internet from one to the other
<1> in fact, most wifi has a range of a few 100 feet.
<2> is that possible?
<1> HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH, good luck.
<2> ok, that doesnt exist yet
<6> until someone sticks you and takes your laptop
<2> but is it in the making?
<1> well, some cell companies offer data services that provide wide area coverage.
<1> they tend to be $$$$ and require proprietary cards or special phones.
<4> AlivesWrk, i have an older highpoint card
<6> lots of coffee shops and your hotel should have wifi hotspots
<1> I doubt they'd work in a subway
<4> this one actually -> http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr1820a.htm#top
<2> I just wonder to what extent this tech is out there. Could I go for a walk in the park and sit down and play CS:S for example.
<4> Cpt|Kirk, that's more a latency issue
<1> wireless tends to be a bit flakey and erratic
<1> unless you're right near a strong signal source with good connectivity and little circuit sharing.
<1> most of the cellular stuff, you pay per megabyte, or per minute.
<1> its mostly suitable for checking email and sporadic uses like that.
<2> But I wouldnt be far off in saying that most major cities are trying to do something along the lines of what I am saying.
<7> z0geeePOOOOOO
<7> wheeeere aaarrree you?
<8> grr i hate only 8bits color depth :S
<1> Cpt|Kirk; most major cities are struggling to find the budget to pay for their police and fire departments, never mind road repairs or sewers.
<1> if you want something you can rely on to work in most urban locations, and roaming, you're stuck with Verizon, Cingular, or Sprint 3G cellular stuff which uses proprietary modems, and requires monthly subscriptions and often high per usage fees
<4> ~$70 / mo
<4> for unlimited verizon
<1> if you can find the plan.
<1> they don't make it obvious
<1> here, http://www.verizonwireless.com/ find it for me, ok, and tell me what you clicked on to get there...
<9> anyone else here have a problem with microsoft wireless mice going ****ing nuts in linux
<4> k, sec
<9> as if a single click really is a left+right click
<4> sartan if your x is setup wrong
<4> yeah
<9> nah it's fine
<4> ah, i'm wrong peerce
<4> it's $59.99
<9> i can double-click on a folder and it ends up dragging itself to the desktop or something else redicilous
<4> business -> products and services (wireless internet access) -> BroadbandAccess
<4> it's on that page
<1> I ended up here and its $79 http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPlanDetail&sortOption=priceSort&catId=409
<4> http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/promotion/controller?promotionType=miniPac&action=miniStart
<4> no, it's not
<1> yeah, I found yours, $59 with a 2 year committment and a 'qualifying voice plan'
<4> yeah
<4> so?
<4> on the page my deal is on it says "shop now"
<4> and i get to your link
<4> brb tho gotta fix this raid card
<10> Gimp-Kork.
<1> ok, I guess the base $40/month 'american everywhere' or whatever covers it, so $60 + $40/month == $100/month, plus $50 for the cheapest modem + $25 activation plus a cell phone.
<7> ok
<7> fuc,king palm ****s
<1> and 2 years... so thats $2400 by the time you're plan has run down.
<4> heh
<4> the card was loose, i'm surprised my **** didn't short out
<6> i hate when my **** shorts out
<6> anal burns
<11> anal fissures?
<6> man I hate having a fever
<4> werd
<4> my first sheet metal shipment shows up in two days
<6> all last night I kept waking up from psychadelic dreams
<4> hotness
<6> nightmares I guess
<6> wierd **** that didn't make any sense
<6> my brain is going a million miles an hours
<6> -s
<6> I feel like someone overclocked me
<4> i don't know why
<4> i just wanna know
<4> jet yeah i've done that
<6> I need some distraction like tv
<6> to keep my brain from running out of control
<4> holy ****
<4> 650 I/O's a second
<4> that's not bad
<4> i guess these old raptors still bring the heat
<6> last sunday night some job ran away on one of our servers... the unix admins said that at the peak, our main db server was doing 12X the "typical" peak IO rate
<4> hrm that's just reads
<4> writes are just as high
<4> heh
<4> well this is just a pair of 36gb raptors in raid0
<4> and two other drives, one sata, one usb2
<4> i'm moving a bunch of **** around
<6> ya, this is an HP-UX box hooked to an XP1024 disk array
<4> well that's cheating
<4> =)
<6> We have no idea why the job got out of hand
<4> you know what tho, I'm seriously considering investing in enough drives, that I can make a m***ive data volume
<6> we re-ran it on QA the following Monday
<6> it completed in < 1 minute
<4> and not have to ****around with different volumes
<4> or mounting drives as folders
<4> i hate things like that jet
<12> Which font type would be largest in MSWord
<12> Or which font size elongates the length of the paper
<9> uhm
<9> twan?
<9> It sounds like whatever you're trying to do is wrong
<4> hahaha
