Does anyone know of some place to buy expansion boards (preferably PCI, but PCI-E would work, too) that are internal cable modems? I’d really like to just get rid of the external cable modem we have, and I figure that if I can buy a DOCSIS 3 modem card for my server, instead of just [...]

I am having a little bit of trouble with IPv6. I have a tunnel from Hurricane Electric at this point, but it seems that if I don’t actually have something going across the tunnel for a little while, it stops working until I run a tracepath6 on it again, which is totally weird. I can, [...]

Please leave me a comment and answer this question real quick, if you wouldn’t mind: If you could choose a lower-bandwidth plan for your Internet access—say, 1 Mbps access for a lower rate, as opposed to 6 Mbps for the rate that is usually current now—would you? How about if you did not pay a [...]

So it is (still relatively close to) the beginning of a new year, and I was reading my RSS feeds on Google Reader, when I came upon a post that merited a reply—from LiveJournal. Well, it seems that OpenID users are still considered to be something of a second-class there, which is rather unfair. Among [...]

I would just like to mention that if you have not done so already, get your comments into the FCC regarding network neutrality and “reasonable network management” as soon as possible! The deadline is coming near (the 13th). More information is still available here on my blog.

The short story: The FCC is currently seeking comments on a rule-making proceeding to clarify the definition of “reasonable network management” within the context of broadband services providers—e.g., DSL, Cable, T-line, and DS-line [...]

Just an FYI to everyone—I have stopped using Y! messenger. The totally random spam there seems to have picked up again for no good reason. My preferred instant messaging system is Jabber/XMPP anyway. If you have an LJ or Gmail account, you already have a Jabber IM account, and if you have neither, there are [...]

There are many reasons that I can think of to avoid the title “professional” appearing anywhere near my name. It’s because I can’t stand most people who climb the ranks and are called professionals, because the word “professional” no longer means what it used to mean—instead, it has the meaning of “one without personality who [...]

So, I read comp.os.linux.ubuntu, and I even occasionally post there if it works out right. Following a “testing” thread—which is not something that I normally do—I found this piece of humor. Person “A”, whose name is Dan, replies to being politely told where to post test messages: Thanks, I was testing pan. Sorry Dan Which [...]
