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

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.

| 2009/5/22-29 [Computer/HW/Laptop, Computer/HW/Display] UID:53032 Activity:low | 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

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

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

see a 1T Seagate HD on sale. I'm still using my 250G and it's
only 60% full. What the heck do people put on their HD these
days, porn? I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy a
1T drive for personal use.
\_ HDTV.

| 2007/5/17-19 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:46676 Activity:nil | 5/17 My new 750G Seagate HD shows only 698G available. WHAT THE FUCK??
\_ 750G = 750*10^9 bytes. Your OS is probably measuring in 2^30 bytes.
See GiB vs GB
\_ Also, disk drive manufacturers advertise "raw" storage, while
your O/S measures usable storage. You lose quite a bit to
disk label information, metadata and other various things.

ACOMDATA 250GB USB 2.0 for $70 after rebate, but I see only review on
teh Intarweb (and it's suspiciously glowing). Any of you fine sodans
have experience with this product or its ilk? TIA. --erikred

has gone down the drain in the past few years. I have a WD250

do? Any recommendations? Price/Reliability more important than perf.
I'm looking at a Hitachi Travelstar or Seagate Momentus from newegg.

days? I'm mainly concerned with reliability/sound/price per GB
to store lots of media stuff, and I'm not too concerned about
performance. Also a related question, when do you guys think
1T drives will come out, 2008? 2009?

\_ Hitachi: Regular RMA, No advanced RMA, test suite sucks
\_ WD: Had 2 consecutive failures (same model) in 6 months, the RMA
website is really good, has tracking and advanced RMA. Advanced RMA
requires you putting in credit card number so that if you don't
return the defective drive in 30 days they'll charge you. It's not

Here is my update. In addition to changing my power supply to
Seasonic Tornado (which is nearly inaudible at around 20db), today,
I just received my brand new Papst 80X80mmcase fan. At $18.95 each,
it costs 3X more and weighs 2X more than the other fans. However,
it is only 12db and just as efficient as the other fans. It's

| 2005/4/20-21 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:37275 Activity:low | 4/19 I went to Fry's today and saw a 400GB HD by Seagate, with 5 years
warranty!!! That is just amazing. By the way, what is the current MB
limitation on size? I remember back in the 90s I had to get special
HD card to go above 4G, and then in the late 90s a special card to
go above 80G. I'm just wondering what the current limitation is.
\_ Why would there be a limitation? Granted, I always buy SCSI.

in my ATA133 as claimed by my motherboard and hard-drive. What
are some culprits in the lack of performance? ok thx.

DVD writer? DVD+R? -R? booktype?
\_ I know DVD-R works but I think you need to get your PS2 modchipped.
\_ So ps2 will not work with DVD-R or +R unless chipped?
