Content, maybe.
Right imedia is pretty much the last class of this day, so the college has lan school witch everyone hates not to mention it's a semi keylogger. anyway
she turns it on a friend takes out the Ethernet cable to avoid it she replies with this exact words "Put the lanschool cable back in" another friend behind me goes to correct then she suddenly replies back and says "I've been in I.T for 25 years, i know more than you!"
Does anyone else [i]really[/i] hate it when people pronounce GUI as "Gooey?"

it sounds ridiculously stupid
like they learned computer terminology from a kid's tv channel
GUI sounds fine as Gooey to me, it just rolls off the tongue better than GUI.

And how about soecs on ddr4? how faster will it be?
Can you explain how ipv6 works?
or why we cant just ad 2 more rows to the ipv4 ? like 255.255.255.255.255[/QUOTE]
DDR4 is basically just DDR3 with lower voltage and (eventually) higher speeds. They're cutting the voltage down to at least 1.2V, maybe even 1.0V. For comparison, DDR3 is 1.5V, DDR2 is 1.8V, and DDR is 2.5V. That should decrease power consumption and heat, which is critical for servers.
Speed improvements basically follow from that. The first modules are expected to be clocked at 1066mHz, the same as the fastest standard DDR3 (some high-end RAM is actually faster than standard, at 1200mHz). They think they can eventually push it to 1600mHz by 2013, but I'm rather suspicious of it. After all, Intel once claimed they could get Pentium 4s up to 10gHz or higher, but ultimately failed to get them past 4gHz with consumer-grade cooling.
(Note that I'm using actual clock speed, not transfer rate. 1066MHz clock * 2 transfers/clock = 2133 MT/s, or DDR3-2133, for instance)
My ddr3 is 1.3V

Yeah, just copy your steam folder.

DDR3 abbreviates Double Data Rate 3, it's not a tangible object. It's just as bad as calling a flashdrive "USB"
Or like calling anything comforming to the ATX form factor an "ATX", which is obviously misleading.

IPv4 standard just allows 32 bit addresses.

DDR3 has a minimum speed of 1066Mhz. High-end DDR3 is currently sitting at 2500Mhz. The point at which DDR3 surpasses DDR2 is for 800Mhz DDR2 you need 1333Mhz DDR3 to have similar performance due to the increase in latency.
Does anyone know if DDR3 can handle T1 timings or does it always use T2?

Uh, no. You're looking at the transfer rate, which is almost always mislabeled as "clock speed". Really. The difference is actually significant. DDR memory (of any sort) transfers data twice per clock cycle by working on the rising/falling edges of the clock signal, rather than the peaks. Thus, it transfers data at twice the clock speed, but the data transfer rate is not the clock rate.
Think of it this way: if I said my laptop operates at 4.12 gHz, because it has two cores at 2.06 gHz, I would be making myself content for this thread. However, if I said it operates at 4.12 giga-operations/second, I would be correct*.
* I know there's some difference between clock speed and operations/second, but that's just getting semantic.

Make sure all the phones have DSL filters. If the house is older or has really bad wiring, there will be interference on the line causing horrible latency and slow speeds.
Unless the home is really old, it will likely have a demarcation box (Should be a grey plastic box on the outside of the home with the telephone company's logo on it).
Looks like this:

On the inside of the "Customer" side (Usually opened with a standard screwdriver), you'll see something like this:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ruCSd.jpg[/IMG]
There should be a phone cable or some sort of plug connected to a jack inside the box, which connects to all the jacks inside the house. If you disconnect that cable and then plug your DSL modem directly into the box, the house's wiring is completely bypassed. If your speeds are faster, then the problem lies with the wiring in the home or you need to buy some DSL filters for your phones.
i've always wanted to open the non-customer access side
Instead of a DSL box, I had a 10 port Ethernet Fiber box. :v:
