8/20    For DSL, do the upload & download rates share the same bandwidth?
        \_ No.  Typical DSL is ADSL (A for Asymmetric).  The bandwidth is rated
           for download/upload separately.  I get about 1.5Mb/s dl and about
           128Kb/s ul.  At work we have business (in our case symmetric) DSL,
           with 1.5Mb/s ul/dl.  Though the minimum guarntees are less than that.
           \_ Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Can you get both 1.5Mb/s dl
              and 128kb/s ul simultaneously? Or just one or the other, or in
              some combo?
              \_ I have not found this to be so.  If I am using all of my
                 upstream bandwidth, the download suffers badly.  It's
                 not as bad the other way around.  --PeterM
                 \_ ACK packets need some tiny but non-zero bandwidth.

        \_ as usual, the right answer was google. why do you fucks keep
           posting dumb questions in the motd?
           \_ If you pull that stick out slowly, it might not hurt as much.
           \_ did you even read your own link?  it doesn't answer the OP's
              question, dumbass.  if you're going to get all RTFW on someone
              and post google links, at least POST THE RIGHT FUCKING LINK!
              \_ Funny, didn't see anything helpful in your post.
                 \_ I don't know the anwer but I'm not posting worthless links.
                    I'm usefully pointing out that reading that link for the
                    answer is a waste of time and the link poster is a fool.
                    Thank you for your guidance and useful assistance.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

11/1    I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
        code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
        DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home.  Is that BS?
        Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
        U-verse service?  I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

ADSL divides up the available frequencies in a line on the assumption that most Internet users look at, or download, much more information than they send, or upload. Under this assumption, if the connection speed from the Internet to the user is three to four times faster than the connection from the user back to the Internet, then the user will see the most benefit (most of the time). Other types of DSL include: * Very high bit-rate DSL ( 50 VDSL) - This is a fast connection, but works only over a short distance.
