2/25    My freaking @Home has just been pasted to Comcast from AT&T and they
        are jacking the price to $56/month + cable modem rental starting in
        April 1 from the current $42.  I am looking at the Yahoo! SBC DSL deal
        for $35/month.  Anyone has any comments and/or suggestions?
        \_ Sure if you want them reselling the shit out of your personal info
           and surfing habits with info attached directly to your surfing.
           \_ i supposed this means that they actually logged and resell my
              surfing habits, such as my brother using kaza (sp?) and me doing
              music and VCD's from newsgroups?  -op
              \_ yep.  Read the small print *very* carefully.  It's in there.
                 how else do you think they can do it so cheap compared to the
                 competition?  you're for sale to the lowest scumbag.
        \_ are you in Berkeley? is this scheduled to happen here too if
           you aren't?
           \_ i m in San Leandro.  -op
        \_ DSLExtreme is fairly good.  And does not insist on a contract if
           you bring your own DSL modem (buy one on ebay).  They were having
           some annoying outages between like 2-4AM, but they seem to have
           fixed that. -dans

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.

5/22    Are LED monitors much better than LCD monitors?
        \_ OLED is still too new to know.  They're direct emitters, so don't
           have a backlight, and can turn completely off, hence better black.
           The early news was that blue pixels burn out relatively quickly.
           \_ FWIW, Zune HD will use OLED.
        \_ Dunno, but I saw a very nice LED TV for just $2K. Wouldn't that

5/2     I have a 1Gbps switch. It is connected to a SANS RAID-1 with
        two WD Green 1T that takes 1Gbps connection, as well as a laptop
        that is also 1Gbps. Online benchmarks show *sustained* transfer
        rate of about 1/2 of 1Gbps with the WD Green... cool!!! But
        in practice, I'm only getting 68Mbps (read SANS->PC file transfer),
        far below what I expected. The switch says both devices are using

4/22    ok, here's a little networking puzzler. I haven't been able to access
        youtube for a couple weeks. Couldn't figure out why. Happened on all
        browsers. traceroute did weird stuff and then timed out. Finally I
        got so frustrated I setup firefox to ssh tunnel through soda.csua,
        which worked great. Then, I kill the ssh proc, quit FF, and now,
        I can access youtube just fine from any browser. wtf? any
