Streamyx, NEW THROTTLING OF TRAFFIC

JinXXX — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 08:11:26 +0800

Hi guys,

just wanna share with you guys..

i think tmnuts is trying out a different kind of throttling on my connection

it seems to be based on throttling all kinds of connection to prevent high speed downloading...

[attachmentid=1116037]

see the attached pic..

as you can see when i started downloading the speed increases to maximun, and then suddenly it just drops back down to +/- 40kb/s,
which is the throttled speed/consistant speed that i can get now.. the speed of the drop doesn't shows its a gradual drop eg slow line/connection but a sharp drop

i think this is a real big big big problem....

you can test it out.. i'm using a high speed xdcc bot for the testing..

data longevity

JinXXX — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:00:22 +0800

hi guys..

wanna check with you all...

as we know some data is important to us.. so i just wanna check with you guys

1. how long does a data in a HD can be kept ? , eg i write once then i take it out ...and keep.. cause from what i know magnetism becomes weak after time so how will this affect it ? apart from that also will the spindle able to spin up after such a long time dormat ?

2. dvdr/cdr we all have our experience with the layers peeling.. read errors and so on, is there any GOOD dvdr/cdr that i can use ?, so far the most long lasting are those factory pressed cd/dvd, i have one from 1996 and it still reads fine.. other than a little bit of fungus growing on it..

3. thumbdrive/pendrive, if i take it plug it in and copy files over, and leave it will the data still be readable after a yeaR ?, anybody using thumbdrive as a archive storage media for things like resume/incometax forms and stuff like that..

4. any other data back up suggestion that can store data reliably, for a year duration... ?

another question that comes to mind..

1. lets say i install windows into a hd and the hd didnt fail me.. will some of the files that didnt get over written will the magnetism that keeps the data around weaken until the data can't be retrive ?

please comment my lowyat sifu masters

QUOTE

Western Digital's WD TV HD Media Player
Let's face it: enjoying digital content from your PC in the comfort of your living room is pretty awesome. My original plan was to have a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 hooked up to the TV and to stream content from my PC to either one. Unfortunately, both the Xbox 360 and PS3 have ended up in my pretend home office, hooked up to the same display as my desktop PC. It also took a couple of years for the two devices to get their media format kinks sorted out, and to be honest, compatibility remains less than perfect. Thus their utility to me as media streaming devices has gone out the window.

Instead, I've had my eye on a Popcorn Hour device for some time now, but it also never quite fit the bill for me. My biggest gripe with the product is the fact that the latest model costs $215, and though it's packed with tons of features, I'd be happy to sacrifice some of them to get that price down. Network connectivity in particular isn't a must-have for me. Wi-Fi hasn't been so great for streaming HD content in my house, and running more network cables through the attic isn't something I want to tackle any time soon. Inevitably, I'd just pair the device with one of the many extra external hard drives I have kicking around the house. However, I could just as well spend that amount of money on another Xbox 360 for the living room.

Enter the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player. Yes, it's a horrible name, but I suppose it's an honest reflection of what the device actually does. The WD TV is a brand-new media player from Western Digital, and judging by the form factor, the company really wants people to pair it with one of its MyBook external hard drives. While the WD TV is much lighter on the connectivity and functionality fronts compared to a Popcorn Hour, it has digital video, digital audio, and a USB port for a hard drive, which are just about all I'm looking for. It's also got great file compatibility, if WD's specs are to be believed. The inclusion of composite video as the only analog connection has me scratching my head a bit, however. I haven't had a chance to test one of these things personally, so my only real reservations remain with the user interface,

let's say i have a 1.5hp aircond and my bill is 300
if i install a 1.5hp aircond with inverter my bill will be < 200 ?? is that possible ?

would love if you all can share your knowledge ...
