Is that kilobytes (which would be a reasonable speed, though still a shitty business practice) or kilobits?
[QUOTE=Daemon White;48090576]What's the difference between a Router and a switch / hub?[/QUOTE]I'll use a rough shipping analogy.
A router is like a UPS hub. It figures out roughly where the package (packet) needs to go. It figures out how it gets to the rough location (network), but its not really concerned about the absolute final destination.
A switch is like a UPS driver. It doesn't care about the rough location, but it knows where that package goes on its immediate route (network), either to a house (computer/device), or back to the hub (router). He reads the address on the package, and has a pretty good idea of its final destination.
A network hub is like a driver, but instead the driver takes the package to every house along the route and asks "is this package yours?" and doesn't give a shit about the address :v: Extremely inefficient, but they are simple directions.
Nowadays, small computers a cheap, so intelligent switches have been the standard for quite a few years now.
Networking has always confused me.

Are there any particular reasons why you're using dual layer blu rays over single layered ones? Their prices are astronomically more expensive than single layered ones.

Convenience?
[QUOTE=DrTaxi;48091095]Convenience?[/QUOTE]
~$2.50 for dual layer vs ~$0.30 for single layers when bought in bulk
I don't think the convenience of having one disk instead of two really justifies the price difference imo.

In bulk, yes.
But burning blu-rays is something

[QUOTE=Cold;48090714]Routers connect networks, switches create networks.
Generally a consumer router will be both a router and a switch.[/QUOTE]
But also managed switches can do basic routing. It gets confusing.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48091311]In my opinion. Unless you're doing major enterprise shit. A dummy unmanaged switch + router. You can't really go wrong. It's how my set up is. 1 5 Port switch for the file server I have at home + the obvious LAN connection to my router/gateway, and then the router/gateway connects the rest of the desktops + wifi as well for anything mobile.
Even then you can get 8 or even 16 unmanaged switches or even bigger.
It really depends on how managed you want. So yeah it does get confusing.[/QUOTE]
If you know what your doing, you can come up with some wacky scenarios. Like at my apartment when we bridged to our landlord's wireless, but had a personal wireless access point with routing disabled with 2 gigabit switches for each side of the living room. :v: Usually worked when his shitty Belkin didn't cut off the whole thing :v:

3!
One next door connected by a 50M Cat5e so they had internet
another one in the living room and a back up hidden one in the bedroom
I had fun setting it all up.

Wow Microsoft. My onedrive login on my phone expired for some reason so I logged back in, but it told me my password was wrong( yes I retried it three times). I tried to reset the password through the login screen which sends me a code in an email to another account, but switching to my email from the onedrive app makes my session expire...which means I can't enter the code to reset my password. I tried logging in again and then it worked just fine?
Aaand sign in error again.

So apparently there's been a string of nighttime fiber cuts on the west coast. The FBI is looking into it and has no clue at all what's going on.

The latest happened while the crew was on-site for a repair, so the whole crew was taken off and an investigation began.

[quote]Q. What's the difference between a micro, a mini and a mainframe? Courtesy of cctalk:
(Fred Cisin)
carry - micro
handtruck - mini
forklift & union moving crew - mainframe
lose a screw in it - micro
lose a screwdrive in it -mini
lose a CE in it - mainframe
downtime pisses off somebody - micro
downtime pisses of a bunch of people - mini
downtime pisses off everybody - mainframe
mains outlet - micro
mains circuit - mini
mains account - mainframe
neighbors are amused by your collection of micros
neighbors are worried about your collection of minis
neighbors are terrified of your collection of mainframes
wife complains - micros
wife leaves - minis
wife has not been seen since . . . - mainframes
(Doc Shipley)
And somewhere between mini and mainframe is where, based on your
electric bill, the DEA shows up to inspect your hydroponic garden.
This did actually happen to an acquaintance.
(Sean Conner)
Back in the late 90s I worked at a company that had a Stratus. If you
rebooted the machine, within twenty minutes, the Status company would call
up asking if there were any issues we were experiencing and should a
technician be sent out?
There's also the apocraphyl story of a new fan unit showing up at the
office---the Stratus noticed one of the existing fan units was marginal and
had ordered itself a replacement.
So perhaps it is the service level that makes a mainframe a mainframe. [/quote]

Oh god Firefox is currently using almost twice the memory that Chrome is right now, and it's only got 1/3rd of the amount of tabs open. What the hell is going on.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;48093228]Because I don't want to load 2 discs and $5 vs $12? Astronomical![/QUOTE]
If you're paying $5-12 for a disk, then you should really look elsewhere.
Like i said on the previous page, single layer BD-Rs costs as low as 30 cents if you buy a spool of them.
