  1. I'm going to have to go with Sparda on this one. I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2 and can not reproduce your results. I think you might want to check your system, sir. :/
  2. I saw a few of those things in the automotive section at the Wal-Mart near my house a few months ago. One that took USB and SD cards. Not sure how hard it would be, but I suppose you could find the power regulator and push a lower voltage into it after that point, then take the output of the preamp and pipe it into an audio device instead of the FM transmitter... you know, for when you're not in the car. Or am I just being silly?
  3. That is most of what I use it for, I follow the accounts of some of the news sites I read, so I'm alerted to new stories. Saves me from having to keep checking the site for things I might want to read. Also follow a few friends who no longer live near me; most of them don't update their regular blogs very often but post tweets frequently. I have to admit that I only stated using it earlier this year, and really didn't 'get it' either, but it grows on you. Helps to have people to follow. Also I use twinkle (one of the iPhone twitter apps) which has location based following. I use that when I'm out to see what is happening near me.
  4. Keep in mind that testing a battery with a standard multi meter isn't going to give you an accurate reading. Batteries are best tested under a load. So a battery showing higher than it's rated power level is totally expected. After the load (in this case the Fon) is applied the delivered power is lower.
  5. I'd have to agree with PLuNK, sounds like unstable power, or inadequate power.

    Well I don't know about in rss, but you could just down load all the episodes individually from the episodes page.
  7. You're getting the same IP for the DNS and DHCP because the D-Link is either running a DNS proxy or actual DNS caching. I would hope it's a cache, but it could be a proxy for some twisted reason. As for getting a new IP when you switch from one device to another that is totally normal for data over cable, and also means that your ISP most likely doesn't use an DHCP client ID. Your IP is being associated to the MAC of the device that is connected to the modem. If you want to keep the same IP across devices you 'could' MAC spoof so that whatever device that you might connect to the modem has the same MAC, seeing that the NIC would be on the LAN side of the router you should be able to use the same MAC as the WAN port on the router without a problem. I usually recommend against that, as it sucks from a technical support point of view. Just saying it's an option.
  8. Don't know how Charter's DHCP system works, but when you set up your router did you have to give it a client ID? Most cable ISPs just use the MAC, but some used to use a client ID, or sometimes both MAC and client ID for assigning the IP. Short of that I'm out of ideas. Mac and FreeBSD I know, linux not so much.
  9. Pardon the n00b-ish response question, but you are power cycling your modem, right? Sorry, I do support for a cable company, and that's the first thing that came to mind since I can't see the data from your ISP's side. Well if you happen to be a Cox customer, but I don't think Cox services the area your 'From' line says you're in.
  10. Very cool... I've got boxes of stuff I can't make myself throw away, but will prolly never use. I'd feel better sending it off to a 'good home'.
  11. . Got to 'Professional' level on the Hurricane Electric IPv6 certification test. - (can't go to Guru because my DNS host's own DNS isn't IPv6 reachable) . Reworking my geektool scripts to give more accurate information when my laptop doesn't have a connection. . Planning out a gigabit network for the house. - (want to get as much off the wireless as I can, and might as well upgrade in the process) . Looking into an AppleTV to run boxee on, as I just recently got an invite. . Putting together hardware to build a central media server, to replace the adhoc mess I have now. . Maybe upgrade my 'do everything' server from FreeBSD 6 to 6.4, might slick and start over, redo everything. - (if I start over I'll redo how I have my v6 setup, maybe switch from BSD to linux so I can get ecmh working without a fight)
  12. What is the Fedora box connected to? And is the boxes link wired or wireless?
  13. Ooo, very pretty Mr. Happypants. I thought about fancying it up, but I kept falling back to minimalist. Also I like having the data just skirting the edges of the screen so I can open a window and still see the most relevant info. I may not be able to read the firewall log with a window open, but I can still see the timestamp changing so I know to look at it.
  14. Not really a stat tool itself but I use geektool to display the output to commands. It can do command line, script files, and images. You just have to setup the necessary data to be displayed. Searching for geektool will get you the download as well as a number of sites with scripts to use for anything from simple text to very detailed graphs from other programs. I've attached my desktop (with IP data blurred of course). If you are running an Intel Mac you'll need to download the new copy of menucracker and replace it inside of the app package so that the menu will show up as the app hasn't been updated in a while. If you need and can't get it working I'll post my modified installer package somewhere so you can use that.
  15. Just a few months back I got a `08 Toyota Yaris, sliver. Manual trans, so I'm getting about 40MPG out of it. Just got out of a `00 VW Beetle GLS 2.0, also manual. I miss that car, but the maintenance costs were starting to kill me.
  16. My desktop is for work, gotta put things away when I'm done. *looks at his real desk* Yeah, put things away. *whistle* and stuff.
  17. It's been a while, so I don't recall exactly what I did, but I did something like that once, used a G4 iMac to connect wireless to a linksys router then used the wired port to share out to a 4 port hub. I had all sorts of trouble getting it to work properly until I set a static route in the router to reach the subnet that was assigned to the wired port via the wireless IP of the iMac. I couldn't ever figure out why it was needed, but as I remember it (was a few years ago) that's how it worked out. Might need to play with something like that. Sorry I don't recall the details of my situation more. If you are still suck, let me know and I'll break out some hardware here and see if I can reproduce your situation until I come up with an answer. (unless someone else beats me to it)
