<0> owensdj: retransmit errrors, slownesss
<1> oh
<2> it is the function of NICs and switches to retransimit frames back and forth.
<2> don't expect to see it unless you completely saturate the link anyways
<1> yeah it won't be 10x faster :P
<2> both ethernet and tcp are error correcting
<3> *blink* what?
<2> pizza_biz: ethernet frames carry a 32 bit crc checksum. if the checksums don't match at the far end, the receiver d iscards the frame and it will be sent again
<3> that's not error correction. that's error detection.
<2> whatever.
<2> i've got to leave
<0> well, it will only be resent if the higher level protocol understand retries
<4> grr
<0> ethernet wont send it againn
<4> the woman's mother sends me an email
<0> udp won't send it again
<4> "I can't connect to a wireless network, any suggestions?"
<4> having trouble replying without being a smart *** or a ****
<2> "is it plugged in?"
<4> a bit more info would be helpful, you old bitch
<4> that might not be recommended
<2> do what I always do to family and friends when they come to me for computer help
<0> "I think I can pencil you in for 10:30 a week from thursday"
<2> "I don't work with desktop computing, we have another department for that. I have no experience/knowledge whatsoever about <technology>"
<0> i'm VERY glad my parents decided to skip computing entirely.
<0> my dad still uses a 100 yr old mechanical Underwood open frame typewriter
<1> sartan you know about everthing. don't lie :)
<2> i have better things to do than spend unpaid weekends reinstalling someones antivirus
<2> right, ^Axl ?
<3> hm. right about now it would be useful in excel to be able to do things like "1.0GB" and have it be meaningfully intepreted as 1073741824 in calculations.
<0> unless its a disc drive then it should be 1000000000 :D
<1> some hard drive manufacturers got sued over that
<3> i said GB, not Gbyte. GB != Gbyte
<5> Badonka donk
<3> i (and others that i've seen) make a clear distinction between the two.
<6> my standard answer to all unwelcome sales phone calls is "NEVER CALL ME AGAIN OR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"
<0> pizza_biz; this is an ISO or ansi standard?
<6> </CLICK>
<6> now therez a lasting impression
<3> the **** does ISO or ANSI have to do with it? they don't need to rubberstamp every stupid ****ing minutia.
<0> ok, so where's the spec that says GB doesn't mean GigaByte, cuz I sure as hell thought thats what it meant
<0> anyways, those are both bytes.... its giga=10^12 vs giga=2^xx that matters herre
<0> i've seen proposals for GiB to mean binary giga
<0> but noone has taken that seriously
<7> peerafk: Actually, lots of people have, especially in the Open Source community.
<8> how do i check what service is using port 80 ?
<0> yeah, the /. community, now there's a high standard to strive for
<3> logically that's what it stands for but conventionally when both are being mentioned, GB is binary, Gbyte is 10-base.
<7> peerafk: Did I say Slashdot?
<0> so B is binary and byte is 10?
<0> huh.
<0> wow, I've NEVER seen that
<3> um. explorer.
<0> b for bit vs B for byte is bad enough
<3> and binary as in base 2.
<0> yes, I know thats what you mean
<9> where is the del command stored in windows?
<3> cmd.exe.
<0> moena; CMD.EXE, its a builtin
<7> And, actually, XiB is an IEC standard, and is apparently strongly supported by the IEEE and CIPM.
<0> fdiv_bug; got a url for that?
<7> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
<9> im trying to delete files in a directory but i'm using a batch file
<9> doesnt seem to work
<7> peerafk: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
<7> But, y'know, what would the NIST know about standard units of measure. They're probably in-league with the Slashdot crowd.
<0> that IECc thing talkls about GiB not GByte being different than GB
<7> Which, apparently, is the same as the Open Source community in peerce's mind.
<7> peerafk: I'm not ****ing talking about Xbyte. I'm talking about XiB.
<7> I have no input or stance either way on Xbyte versus XB, so I'm not weighing in on the issue.
<0> pizza_biz was
<3> ahahaha. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwnt
<8> how do i check what service is using port 80 ?
<7> peerafk: That's great. I'm not pizza_biz.
<0> digglah; NETSTAT -ano
<10> WHAT THE ****
<10> any ASP.NET people ehre?
<10> *here
<0> O for owner process ID
<7> peerafk: I was specifically referring to these commens of yours:
<7> [14:14] < peerafk> i've seen proposals for GiB to mean binary giga
<7> [14:15] < peerafk> but noone has taken that seriously
<0> then TASKLIST/SVC to match the PID
<7> peerafk: Apparently there are several serious organizations taking it seriously.
<0> fdiv_bug; how commonly have you seen GiB used? I haven't.
<3> and it probably wouldn't be as much as an issue if drive manufacturers didn't piss on the number standards that had long been in use.
<7> peerafk: I see it used regularly in various recent releases of Open Source tools. Can't think of any off the top of my head.
<0> organizations, sure, ever sat on one of those standards committees? they are sad.
<3> i bet those seagate ****s were the first to really **** **** up.
<0> nah, it goes back to IBM and CDC and Memorex and the 70s
<0> or earlierr
<7> peerafk: Regardless of what you think of said organizations, they are the defining bodies for several areas of work and research.
<7> And they increasingly say "GiB."
<0> fdiv_bug; yes, I know. but its a long ways from common usage
<8> peerafk and how do i know what that pid is? =)
<0> digglah" TASKLIST /SVC
<5> Seagate ****ed all the GB **** up
<7> peerafk: That doesn't matter. You said "noone [sic] has taken that seriously."
<7> The IEEE and NIST appear to take it seriously.
<5> High Noone
<7> They're not "noone [sic]."
<7> MrMojo: Nooner. :-D

<0> ok, I'll try and be more pendantic next time. I'm flat on my back in bed typing on a laptop with a really bad head cold, hence the missing space in no one.
<7> Hawkeye: You have got to be kidding me.
<0> the GiB thing is a LONG ways from common usage
<12> So I have this issue that just sorta cropped up on my windows. I'm using XP Pro on a A64 system. I'm having this issue where I'll be workin' along then all of a sudden my mouse cursor will stop moving. Not that odd of a problem really, I said to myself. However, I noticed I could still click on things -- i.e. I could move my mouse down towards the Start menu and click on the Start menu and bring it up. All the while, my cursor will sta
<12> y in the same spot. Thus, it seems that windows is still reading off the hardware (my mouse) but doesn't update the cursor position...
<0> I bet if I wrote `gibibyte` someone would spell check that to gigabyte.
<12> I've tried different mice and I've tried reinstalling my current mouse
<12> and it doesn't seem to fix the issue
<13> _xbrad_: I'm guessing its actually a video driver issue
<7> peerafk: Not in the communities where I've seen it used, none of whom have anything to do with Slashdot.
<3> then that someone is a retard not qualified to be editing that work.
<13> the first thing you could try is lowering the video acceleration in Display properties
<0> I'm sure nerp would like to telll his EiC that hes a retard
<12> Jet: Okay, I'll give that shot. The issue didn't appear until I tried upgrading my RAM. I put two more 512 DIMMs in my two empty slots then it showed up. I took the DIMMs out and the problem continued.
<7> But you could argue that GB isn't in common usage amongst non-technical people. I've heard folks pronounce it "jigga-bite." And I'd wager the margin of people in the mainstream who know what it actually means is slim, but I have no data to back that up, just a hunch.
<12> I also reinstalled Windows and it stil lmessed up...
<3> "hey, here's an idea. i'm going to write a technical document with a particular audience, and i'm going to let somebody who isn't part of that audience to edit it and make recommendations on it! that's brilliant!"
<0> anyways, i'm STILL curious where GB and GByte are distinguished. I've NEVER seen that. I brought up GiB
<0> pizza_biz; welcome to tech writing 101. you think editors are technical competent you're dreaming
<1> _xbrad_ sounds like bad memory
<7> peerafk: The technical editor that doesn't know enough to double-check with the author that they used the right term is a lousy editor.
<14> is there anything harmful someone could do if they have my VIN number to my car?
<6> GiB me a break
<12> owensdj: I've used many a DIMM that has worked just fine in other boxes.
<0> brinstar; its usually stamped on the windsheild frame, so its public knowllege to anyone who sees your car
<1> _xbrad_ try running memtest86
<1> at least for a few hours
<12> arg...okay, I'll try that then.
<12> thx.
<1> good luck
<3> a capable editor will flag it and either request clarification or validate the term in question.
<6> i like chm
<0> pizza_biz; in the industries I've been in editors are paid less than tech writers. you're living in a dreamworld.
<3> then that speaks to the capability of said editors.
<0> yeah, they usually ****, because they are failed writers.
<0> or ex school teachers
<15> is there a sleep or wait function in windows batch scripting?
<0> !info WSH
<0> there probably is in WSH
<16> hello guys: i'm on an old "texas instruments" laptop and my screen is way to bright. how do i change the brightness of the screen? above certain of the Function keys (f5,6) it has picture of laptop screen but if i just press them nothing happens.. what can i do? thanks
<17> any of you guys know how to enable the nvidia tray icon? Trying to get the thing back and been thru every option I can see...
<0> spacedude; is there a Fn key near alt/control ?
<6> how do i forward an entire conversation from gmail
<6> is that even possible?
<0> same color as those screens ?
<3> F5/F6 probably toggle external display.
<16> peerafk: yes
