  1. is appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert too much food?

    No, but then again my caloric intake is pretty high. I easily put down twice what anyone else at the table will. Fortunately I am quite open to getting those calories with veggies and other healthy stuff. Yes, I will eat your tasty stir-fry... but you'd better make like triple the amount...
  2. Who still uses Usenet?

    The reason is because the providers that don't just rubberstamp DMCA notices all seem to have either bandwidth issues or spotty retention. This effect is even more pronounced for U.S. customers. Generally you keep the mainstream one for speed, then use the knock-off European one for filling in...
  3. Who still uses Usenet?

    I find all you need is one subscription to one of the "mainstream" providers (someone reselling Highwinds, etc.) and then another to some random overseas one. Mainstream gets you 85% of what you need, weirdo off-brand one gets you the rest. With programs like sabnzbd it's not even difficult...
  4. Elizabeth Smart doesn't like Nancy Grace.

    I am not by nature a violent person, but I frequently wish that Nancy Grace would die. Not violently or horribly, just that she would die and no longer be able to get on the TV and ruin people's lives for ratings. I would settle for her ending up in a coma. So long as she can't communicate...
  5. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    Honestly that's all you need in a room: a place to rest your head, shower, and change clothes. There's so much to do in Vegas you will rarely be in the hotel, unless its for gambling, food, or show purposes. I used to say all of the major casinos could provide that, but then I had that...
  6. Awesome Usenet & VPN Special Today Only

    It looks like this is a reseller of Highwinds, one of The Big Three. Same servers as Easynews, Teranews, Usenetserver, Yottanews, and quite a few others. Honestly if you want decent Usenet access these days you have to hit up multiple services. Having a subscription to one of The Big Three...
  7. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    Into a pole or a tourist, usually.
  8. Moving cross country... PODS? or something else?

    My little brother used a knock-off of PODS. They left him a half-length shipping container outside his place for a week, he filled it up, then about two weeks later it was at my parents place here in Nevada. Worked pretty well, nothing got broken or banged around too much. The only issue was...
  9. Alright, non-US ATOTers, what's your country's version of COPS?

    Is there a TVDB entry for this one? Sounds interesting, but lord knows what name it'll be using out there on the web. The Denmark ones sound interesting too, but I think I'll be able to find those since the names are ASCII-compatible. The thing I've noticed is that time and time again...
  10. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    TI is only three blocks from Excalibur/Luxor. Admittedly three blocks is a ways in Vegas, but it's not THAT far. Oh dear god yes. Work made the mistake of sending me and my coworker down to Vegas to do some core sampling during CES. We wound up staying at a long-stay apartment type deal...
  11. YouTube is borderline unusable - Time Warner Cable Sucks

    Charter is the number one ranked Cable ISP in the US, probably because they're the only one that doesn't do crap like this.
  12. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    Yeah, Southwest is amazing. Depending on when you schedule the trip it can go even lower. I did some poking and found dates a ways out (next month) where total price for two people round trip was $800. Nonstop even! As far as casinos to stay in, my recommendations would be the Luxor or TI...
  13. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    This reminds me: if at all possible, check the room first. We booked at the Excalibur one year and were disappointed to discover that they had started deodorizing/desmoking all of their rooms with a lingering spray that was actually more offensive than the smoke smell would have been. After...
  14. Doing Vegas on the cheap? (flight, hotel, etc)

    Alright, so I'm a Nevada native, Reno-area but I used to go to Vegas about once a month for a span of about two years. Lemme share what I can. As far as hotels on the strip go, it varies from season to season honestly, and by what you consider "on the strip". Las Vegas Boulevard runs a...
  15. Alright, non-US ATOTers, what's your country's version of COPS?

    So I've got Sickbeard, Sabnzbd, and about five usenet servers set up, and its let me go on a TV show binge lately. Any show that strikes even a passing fancy I've been watching in full, provided its available. The latest one to capture my interest? Fox's COPS, the original, ACTUAL reality TV...
  16. Blending two networks, can only access one router

    More or less. It's working like an expensive Cisco managed switch rather than a router, but same net effect: it's just a thing in between the two bridged networks that stops DHCP traffic.
  17. Blending two networks, can only access one router

    This actually pointed me to the issue. Apparently there was a lingering OpenVPN route that was left over from when the two networks were not occupying the same house. Apparently pfsense's routing table leaves those routes in place even if the VPN is down, but wasn't noting them in the routing...
  18. Blending two networks, can only access one router

    Well I thought I did. Lemme rephrase. The two networks are linked with just a simple Ethernet run between the central switch on the A network to another switch on my B network. The switch on my end is VLAN-capable (yay DD-WRT) and is set up to block all incoming or outgoing DHCP traffic (or...
  19. Blending two networks, can only access one router

    Alright, so I've got a bit of a strange setup going here at home. Because we're out in the boonies we have two separate DSL connections. Rather than just using multi-wan, we've actually got two different subnets (on separate-but-linked physical networks) for each connection: 172.16.2.0/24...
  20. Where do you get SFF brackets for NICs?

    I've lined it up with about seven other Ethernet cards I've got lying around the house. 5 of them have the exact same placement on the port. I'm sure there's some variation, but this seems to be the most common placement available.
  21. Where do you get SFF brackets for NICs?

    Basically, I bought a low-height NIC for a computer I'm tooling up, but it only came with a full-height bracket attached. The card itself is maybe 1U height, and clearly the bracket is meant to come off. It looks like a thousand other NIC brackets I've seen over the years. I seem to remember...
  22. What's the best FREE way to use a proxy as a transparent gateway?

    Well this is highly useful information. Thank you.
  23. What's the best FREE way to use a proxy as a transparent gateway?

    The proxy server I have to use is already created by the phone itself.
  24. What's the best FREE way to use a proxy as a transparent gateway?

    Alright so here's the basic deal. My girlfriend has been without internet for nearly a week now owing to a huge outage in her immediate area. She doesn't have a landline so she can't use dialup, and there isn't any nearby internet she can mooch off of either because, hey, area outage. I've...
  25. Weird Boot-from-USB problem on a Latitude x300

    The stick was partitioned, it just wasn't partitioned in the exact right way. Or maybe that's what you were talking about. Either way, this is the first time I've had to include that second hidden partition to get the stick to read as bootable; I've installed to other laptops and desktops...
  26. Weird Boot-from-USB problem on a Latitude x300

    Alright, fixed the problem. Turns out it's a common issue with some BIOSes and the workaround is creating a second VERY TINY partition on the USB stick, which for some reason helps it be read as a bootable device. I found a program, WinSetupFromUSB, which has an option for this in the USB...
  27. Weird Boot-from-USB problem on a Latitude x300

    I've installed XP from this USB stick before on other computers. It works and is doable. There's no settings that I can find in the BIOS which relate to booting from USB, other than boot order.
  28. Weird Boot-from-USB problem on a Latitude x300

    I'm having a rather bizarre issue with an x300 I recently recovered. I'm trying to get it up and running for the missuz, but I'm having a devil of a time getting Windows on it. The laptop doesn't have an optical drive, and I don't have a docking station. No problem though, right? Just boot...
  29. Need a good way to make a one-time international call (US to UK)

    Depends on the hassle. Right now $5 is worth a good deal to me. I have had a google voice account since a few months after the service started and a Skype account for about 8 years. In that entire time I have never, not EVER, needed to use any of their paid services. I have not WANTED to...
  30. Looking for an SSH client that can automatically execute remote commands on login

    It's not, technically. It's an iPhone. Even if I could, I don't want to do this for every connection, since I SSH into it frequently for purposes other than what I'm doing here. This is more of an occasional thing.
  31. Need a good way to make a one-time international call (US to UK)

    That's it in a nutshell. They won't tell me what it would cost without the plan (they make it very difficult to figure out) and the plan itself is near that $10 mark after fees and such.
  32. Need a good way to make a one-time international call (US to UK)

    So in order to resolve some issues I'm having with something I ordered from the U.K., I find myself in need of a way to call a number in London. The problem is that I don't have an international calling plan at all; this is the first time I've ever needed to call internationally outside of work...
  33. Looking for an SSH client that can automatically execute remote commands on login

    The short version is this: I need to make an SSH connection to a device and run several commands once the connection is established (netcat, if it matters), this on top of setting up several port forwards. I've found that both Tunnelier and PuTTY work well for the port forward aspect of things...
  34. How do I make a transparent/no-config SSH tunnel in Windows WITHOUT using Proxifier

    Alright, so I've been poking at this for a while and I'm stumped. Read on. I've recently started using my Jailbroken first-gen iPhone as a tethered modem. Being a first-gen device, this has to be done by SSHing into the phone over wireless and then connecting via the SOCKS5 proxy provided...
  35. Not quite programming: batch file

    Short and sweet, I need a batch file to do something kind of weird. I need it to go through a folder (and its subdirectories), and for each file of extension ".foo" I need it to place a copy of a separate file in the folder with the same name as the first file, but with the extension ".fop"...
  36. Late-comer to Stalker SOC...this is a great game

    The plots didn't feel quite as epic in the other two, though I did like a lot of the functionality changes they brought. Clear Sky in particular has a questionable plot (the game just sort of ends like, "oh hey you're done the end") and Call of Pripyat wasn't bad, but you found yourself...
  37. Yay, I have a Mac... now what do I do with it?

    I was looking at upgrading to 10.5, but apparently it wipes out Classic Environment, which is needed to run Deus Ex. I may still, eventually, but right now I need to leave it at 10.4. I also may wipe out the old install completely but I am really quite curious what's in those user accounts...
  38. Yay, I have a Mac... now what do I do with it?

    Hey there, PC user, gamer, and all-around tinkerer here. I just recently picked up a PowerMac G4 from a university surplus sale. It's a low-end Mirrored Drive Door model, dual 867mHz processors and an 80-gig HDD, DVD burner, probably some other crap I'm forgetting. Whatever, it was cheap and...
  39. Captioned JPGs that behave like they have layers?

    Okay, so, I've snagged a few captioned JPGs recently which have a rather interesting property: in the Windows 7 thumbnail preview they show the UNcaptioned image. Now when I open up the image in any editor I can think of it just shows a standard JPG, no layers or anything and with the text in...
