Re: [H] New Ryzen PC Build

2017-04-13 Thread Mike Broussard
Very nice.  Still running an i7 920 on a Gigabyte GA-x58-UD3R that replaced 
(quickly) an EVGA FTW3.  Having issues with this board and have been looking at 
upgrades.  Been out of the loop lately and don't really know what's out there.  
Will check this out.  Looking for a quick and easy (fairly inexpensive) upgrade.

It's actually a fairly poor delivery system for nicotine.  But you don't get

No more wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath.  My stamina has returned

AFAIK Buffalo is defunct in the USA now due to a CSIRO case.

But yes, Asus is a readily availble router that has 32MB RAM that allows
you to load a MEGA image which has a lot of features.

But to be honest, a WRT54GL is more than enough for most users.  In fact
most WISP's use the WRT54GL.

There are different types of LCDs based on the manufacturing process that

range you are only going to see TN+ panels which have great response times

IPS or PVA displays tends to have great color reproduction (which you need

Have Bellsouth (now ATT) here, the 6M/512K.  Started out with the westell
2100, then they sent a 2Wire 1100 for homePNA with USB adapters for the kids
computers that I'm still using, about 4 or 5 years now.  They've since
discontinued that 2Wire for a wireless one.  It's done the job, though I've
had to reset it a few more times than what the other guys are saying.  And
it's better now than at first since I put in an outdoor splitter at the NID
and replaced some old phone line with CAT5E.  From the supported list I
almost bought a Netopia 3347W off Ebay recently but backed off since this
one works fine.

(ATT wants $75 for their supplied modem; and, it may be re-furbished!)

What their compatible equipment list shows is:

2Wire, HomePortal 1G/1M/1100 Residential DSL Gateway (never heard of them)
2Wire, HomePortal 1000SW Residential DSL Gateway (never heard of them)
Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5887 (external ethernet) (never heard of

Westell WireSpeed DMT (external ethernet) (not sure of WesTell?)

Hmm...(your comments?)

RE: [H] Verizon DSL

2006-01-08 Thread Mike Resnick


Sounds like your problem with Comcast might be location
dependant.
One of my kids lives in southern NJ and has Comcast. 
They set it up for her at no cost, including a free SB cable modem.
Throughput up and down is fantastic - at least as good as Optonline.com
(i.e., Cablevision).
Anyway, after her service was up and running I just added a D-Link router
for her without any problems.
I even asked the installer when he was at her house if there was any
problem adding a router. 
He said no, but suggested that Comcast's on-line support (monkeys) might
ask for it to be removed if they were troubleshooting a problem.
The way he told it, it wasn't that Comcast had a problem with the router
as much as it was that their support monkeys would use it as an excuse
for any problems that were reported to them.  
By the way, how would Comcast know which specific router you
used?

Mike

Re: [H] cell to land line

2005-12-12 Thread Mike Resnick


If you don't mind spending $25-$30 per month, you can sign
up for Vonage VoIP telephone service. 
They offer a ton of options included in your monthly fee - including
being able to have all calls that go to your (VoIP) land-line also
forwarded to any other number concurrently - this includes your
cell phone. 
Note that with this setup you can have all calls go to your Vonage
land-line and then ring for however long you want (I have mine set to 40
seconds) and then if you don't pick up it will automatically ALSO be
routed to your cell phone while your land-line continues to ring.
That way, if you're home you can pick up your land-line, and if you're
out of the house the call will also ring on your cell phone.
PROS: you keep your land-line number; you only need to give out one phone
number (your land-line number); you never have to manually 'forward your
land-line to your cell phone when you leave the house; you never miss
another call
CONS: extra cost of $25-$30 per month; reduced 9-1-1 service (it goes to
a regional center); requires (reliable) cable/DSL service
