<0> Verizon FIOS, Fiber Optic ... something, System.
<1> oh
<2> you know you have a crappy link when even SSH is a bitch :P
<3> Jostein_: GPRS link? how does connection go from computer to phone?
<0> They're running fiber around the towns around here (the orange cable is so pretty)
<1> indeed
<2> Bjprn-: bluetooth
<3> Jostein_: on linux?
<1> god ****ing dammit that girl has issues
<1> I can't wait to move out of here
<2> Bjprn-: win32 all they way :P
<0> They're over in Tewksbury... Lowell is the largest city in the area and Verizon said they're going to SKIP it and go straight to the next down, Tyngsborough and FIOS wouldn't come to this area until 2008!
<0> 15Mbps down/2Mbps up[
<1> 15Mbps
<0> exactly!
<0> And my friend and dad are both technical, they've run many bandwidth tests and insist it's for real.
<3> upload speeds is always capped too much
<2> Bjprn-: Im setting up a linux gateway the second I actually DO get DSL though. no more of this crap
<3> i want some decent upload to run a few servers... argh isps
<0> It's better than the, what, 384Kbps I'm gettin from Comcast on my cablemodem. :(
<1> they don't want people running servers, duuuh
<0> yeah
<2> just out of curiosity.. is there any way to set up a transparent firewall/gateway wich still can host and intercept SSH?
<1> you should've seen the ****ing threatening emails I used to get from Rogers HiSpeed
<0> But 2Mbps would be enough for a personal, non-commercial server
<0> I think I'm going to drive around Lowell and collect addresses and sit there all day punching them into the Verizon's website so they get TONS of people who are interested in FIOS...
<1> hahahahahah
<4> Why drive? Google maps.
<0> The problem is that although Lowell is big, it's also scummy and poor for the most part, all non-technical schmoes who could care less about bandwidth and are quite happy with their little Compaq Presarios and AOL dial-u.
<0> p
<3> CeruleanD: not for a game server...
<0> What, you don't think 2Mbps up would make a good game server?
<1> Xbox Live works with a megabit
<3> not that many users if so
<5> depends on concurrent connections. :)
<0> I mean, think about it, a T1 is 1.5Mbps right? I know it's different, but still... I think you could host a fair game server, at least 16 people
<5> yeah i'd say about that.
<3> more than 16+ ??? i ponder
<0> I've hosted 32-person UT2K4 games on my cablemodem
<6> the US is falling far behind Europe and Asia in high speed broadband, Republicans oppose any government involvement
<1> meh, UT
<5> thats not entirely true.
<1> I can't play that **** anymore, too fast
<5> Tamahome: which UT?
<5> the original and best? :)
<1> all of 'em
<5> the original caps itself at 60fps
<1> I don't have the lightning mouse reflexes I used to have
<5> just thought i'd throw that in
<5> whyzzyrd: lack of alterior options.
<1> got nothing to do with framerate
<0> Me neither Tama, I tend towards MMORPG's more these days
<3> CeruleanD: that's interesting... there are too few 32 person ut2k4 servers out there and i might try that now...
<0> With a little counter-strike sometimes
<1> yeah, I can't wait for Oblivion
<0> I can't deathmatch though
<0> I need my backup. :)
<2> whyzzyrd: no ****. I cant understand why people think internet is all down
<1> supposed to come out in March, hope they don't delay it
<1> (mind, it will be single player)
<0> Me too
<3> Onslaught!
<7> the internet is down?
<0> I'm tempting to buy the Oblivion collector's ed now
<1> I preordered
<0> Too many games out I want now
<1> at EB
<2> whyzzyrd: If I could get the same total BW for a SDSL... Id go for a SDSL anytime
<2> whyzzyrd: (for the same price)
<1> last MMORPG that looked any good was City of Heroes, but at the time I didn't have a computer zippy enough to play it
<0> Yeah, that was my plan... there it sits, in my Wish List basket at ebgames.com :)
<0> WoW is great if you like any at all
<1> oh god no I hate Warcrap
<0> They make it so easy to get into and out of, whether you're hardcore or casual
<0> Really? What, the world setting or what?
<8> Linux xiao.siksai.co.uk 2.6.15.2-xiao #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 2 21:18:40 GMT 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
<8> ah, much better
<1> the only MMORPG I ever actually played was the original EverQuest, for the first six months
<0> Eh, I will probably try AD&D Online when it comes out.
<9> rhowe: you lose your uptime then?
<2> CeruleanD: WoW breeds a new cl*** of nerds, that somehow seems to think talkiing about 'zerging' in public is acceptable behavior :P
<1> and when people complained that I basically hadn't existed for that span of time, I quit.
<0> Yeah I played that for... 3 or 4 years, including beta, on and off.
<8> whyzzyrd: Yeah, tends to happen when you reboot into a new kernel
<0> rofl Jostein, yeah, that's true... it's definitely a different kind of player on WoW
<8> whyzzyrd: I didn't fancy trying kexec :)
<1> uptime is just a penis length thing anyways
<9> 21:53:17 up 383 days, 20:46, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
<2> CeruleanD: I guess its a 3d version of mirc with extra added trolls
<2> CeruleanD: s/mirc/irc/ oops
<0> lol
<1> the real test of how useable a kernel is, is how useable it is at 8.xx load... I've used HP/UX boxes that were
<8> sure, and for an SMP penis to stay up for a hundred and something days when it's 50% overclocked, and only go down because I asked it to, suggests it's quite stable :P
<2> Tamahome: Never tried HP/UX boxes, and hope I never will. It sounds dirty :P
<1> Jostein: your words, not mine
<9> Tamahome: I *rolled over* the load average counters a number of times testing my new Xeons.
<3> Why PREEMTive kernel?
<8> Tamahome: The first time I saw a HP/UX box, I paniced the kernel within about 5 minutes
<8> Bjprn-: Shows the bugs up quicker :)
<1> Russ: it didn't like you :P
<2> Tamahome: despite all it's shortcomings, I like the x86 platform and the standrad OSes
<8> Tamahome: All I did was run netscape :P
<9> Tamahome: I counted rolling em over 12 times. And it was still responsive.
<1> Jostein: you would :P
<3> rhowe: Oh yeah... remember that option now..
<1> everyone knows x86 is tripe, but it's cheap tripe, so it thrives like wildfire
<2> Tamahome: *nod*
<8> nothing wrong with tripe
<9> rhowe: you try this. untar 4 kernel trees. cd into each, in turn and run make randconfig.
<9> rhowe: Then cd into each of them from 4 xterms, and run make -j
<1> hahahahahahahah
<1> sicko
<8> whyzzyrd: With 256M of RAM? I'd rather not :)
<9> rhowe: no, I had 8G of ram, and 16G of swap on.
<2> rhowe: you could record the swapping and sell it as "art music"
<0> HP/UX = at least it's not AIX
<10> Jostein_: haha
<9> rhowe: I killed it at a load average of 12000+, when it started to run out of swap.
<8> He works for the company which runs the UK lottery, Camelot
<0> Yeah, I knew one too, real smart genius type guy, he had nothing but evil thoughts for AIX
<2> CeruleanD: My favorite *nix for servers? FreeBSD. I couldnt stand solaris. I Dunno how AIX and HP/UX compares to those
<9> rhowe: what actually suprised me was that it responded to the killall -9 cc command
<1> oh god no, please let's not bring up AIX
<1> Solaris is ****ing awesome
