Having worked (for another company) at an outsourced call-center, someone with problems like your own would be dealt like this. My company is getting paid per call. I have to average less then 20 minutes per call or be fired. Takes 10-15 minutes sometimes just to get a service tag. So you're...
I'm on an old 'grandfathered' plan with Bell Sympatico. It costs more, but no download limits. I got seriously hammered when I first started using dial-up many moons ago and I told myself never again.
I had actually did the right things, but made a mistake the xorg.conf file. It was a good learning experience because it makes me take a step back and know how it feels to be a frustated Windows user. ATI's documentation for instance left me pretty confused. Reading forum discussions left...
Maybe I should of put this under operating system?
Wanted to try Linux, I installed Sabayon Linux on my old IDE 80gb harddrive.
I grew up on DOS and used UNIX exclusively in college, so I figured this wouldn't be too much of a problem. As an out-of-the-box experience, the OS is awesome...
Since I consider this site quite Linux friendly, I thought this article might be of some interest.
Aligning filesystems to an SSD’s erase block size.
...most of Linux’s storage stack is not set up well to worry about alignment of partitions and logical volumes. This is surprising, because...
As someone who hasn't followed or looked into Linux, I checked out the two sites, giving them both equal time. Sabayon's site looks very professional. IMagic looks like someone was studying a HTML book while they put it together. The Microsoft Compatible link at IMagic really interested me...
I was working for one of the largest OEM's when XP rolled out. My training consisted of getting a copy before it was officially released. That install was even ported over to a new 80gb drive, but I finally decided to start with a clean slate when I picked up a 500gb drive. The 80gb drive was...
Microsoft is doing a really poor marketing job with Vista if it's leaps ahead of XP. ME from a marketing prospective looked better. (Technically, I think ME's biggest weakness was it wasn't very good with ID-10-T errors, because I knew quite a few knowledgable ME users who didn't have any...
I always thought Microsoft's development practice was to set a goal of what they wanted to do, then release a bastard half way there to make some profit. You had ME between 98 and XP. Now you have Vista between XP and 7.
Charter will be using the Cisco/Scientific Atlantic DPC3000 and the Motorola Surfboard. Both are DOCSIS 3.0 Modems.
It would be interesting to see a Killer NIC by Bigfoot review with the higher speed service, since they didn't seem to offer much benefit at slower speeds.
For every Charter...
