[QUOTE=Amiga OS;45267595]Dogfooding is a term used at Google where they roll out a new feature or update to a random limited group of users.
Congrats.[/QUOTE]
I thought dogfooding was a term for regularly using software you develop, as it's developed (eg. Chrome devs doing all their web browsing in the absolute latest version of Chrome). Comes from "eating your own dog food", and it's definitely not limited to Google.
you guys realize how hard it is to post from the farm nodes, right?
It seems like the last couple steam sales are always the week I have to pay rent. >:(
oh well, guess I just wont bloat my library anymore.
I'm planning on building a new rig and obviously getting a laptop before college. What brand laptop and price range should I be looking for?
[editline]1st July 2014[/editline]
Not planning on having the same one all the way through college, but I want it to at least last until I get to my third year of college before needing to be upgraded, since I'll be in college for 4-7 years it looks like.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;45267885]I've never heard the term elsewhere before.[/QUOTE]

[quote]dogfood: n.
[Microsoft, Netscape] Interim software used internally for testing. “To eat one's own dogfood” (from which the slang noun derives) means to use the software one is developing, as part of one's everyday development environment (the phrase is used outside Microsoft and Netscape). The practice is normal in the Linux community and elsewhere, but the term ‘dogfood’ is seldom used as open-source betas tend to be quite tasty and nourishing. The idea is that developers who are using their own software will quickly learn what's missing or broken. Dogfood is typically not even of beta quality.[/quote]

So it dates back to at least 2003, when the latest Jargon File was published. It might be much older than that.
Remember when I said my computer barks for a while after it's turned on?
I wasn't kidding.

It speeds up in frequency until it can actually muster enough power to stay on full and make the noise constant. :v:

Woof.
Alright so I want to somehow WiFi tether on my phone and use that data connection as my home wifi routers Internet gateway. So how do I do that? I assume my modem/router can't handle it but maybe another one can.

Some routers with USB ports let you tether through USB to the router. I think the Asus at my mom's was compatible with Android usb tethering.
My 66U and 56U had that option, but it was merely for direct USB 3G-4G modems.

Any of you any good at sodering in the UK. This Mini Usb Port is a complete bitch to soder, esp. without any tools to tell which pins I've done badly.

Use a lot of flux. That stuff makes any soldering job much cleaner.
Flux is the semen of the electronics gods. It is the second greatest substance known to man.

Nope of my routers that I have has a USB port so it wouldn't work that way..
... My motherboard and CPU came.
The email that they sent me last week said that they didn't have the motherboard in the warehouse, and they had sent the CPU alone, so I'd have that in the meanwhile.
CPU came yesterday, went to pick up from the postal office just now, and I noticed that the package was way too large for just a CPU, and it just happened to be a little bigger than an ATX motherboard would be.

CPU and a lot of bubblewrap
[QUOTE=kaze4159;45271003]CPU and a lot of bubblewrap[/QUOTE]
I was thinking that before I opened the package inside the car to check it out.
I have the motherboard in front of me right now, doing a little visual inspecting.

So if I understand you correctly, you want to route all the traffic from all the computers you have at home through the home router, and then through the phone via Android tethering?
If so then the simplest thing to do is to set up a computer which acts like an gateway. I have no idea of how you do this with Windows, but with Linux (Any distro) you only need to connect the computer to the router by cable (or wifi), and the phone by usb (or wifi), and then type these commands (with cable and USB Tethering):
[code]
#Go root
sudo su
#Enable ip forwarding
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#Set up NAT
iptables --flush
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
#Set up the correct network routes
#Get the external ip for the android tethering with ifconfig and switch it out with the x's below
route del default
route add default gw x.x.x.x netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0
[/code]
I wish the places I ordered things from did that. I could really use a bunch of big boxes for all the ebay selling we're doing.
Actually model train guys do that a lot. A single cheap-ass freight car(its own box is about an inch by 5 inches) in a 3-foot by 3-foot by 1-foot box. With enough bubble wrap to contain a small child.

Even if it's truly shit tier stuff like Bachmann or early Atherns.
Every Bunnings Warehouse (Hardware store chain) and a few bottle shops I've been to has giant bins at the front full of free cardboard boxes. Go look around local places and see if they've got any
