  1. hehe - It a old powerpc, it still runs but is so slow that its shelved. The boy now uses his daddy's laptop - go figure
  2. Lianna, See I have this bass boat, and last year I took my friends out for a ride and we wanted to stop and just kinda float around. The wind was blowing so hard we just kept getting blown all over the lake. Well needless to say, I did not have a anchor because as a bass fisherman I never anchor the boat. But my buddies insisted next time I went out with them that I needed a anchor in the boat. Hmm, that Mac worked perfect. Tied a 50' rope around it and it just works perfect. It digs really deep into the floors of the lake, that no matter how strong the wind is my bass boat just wont move. So now I have a sticker on the boat "Anchored by a MAC" Priceless! (Its my sons first computer, I think it it time to play with a new MAC and OSX)
  3. What server are you on?
  4. NO NO NO NOT A MAC USER!
  5. Give me a email address and I can check the status of your order. HG
  6. You can create a new FTP account and specify what folder you want this person to have access to, this would give the designer access to say your /design folder but nothing else. For example, I gave KW access to the /public_html folder thus he is able to maintain the help site, however he doesnt have access to the master password or cpanel. They also would not have access to your cpanel. I hope that answers your question, I am working on about three hours sleep over the past two days :0 HG
  7. I have a feeling those with the chomded protected stats files may want to set em back, as a very exciting update is coming down the pipes soon. I can say no more.
  8. the support email address is support@totalchoicehosting.com NOT support@totalchoice.com drop a email to us and we will get you squared away
  9. GO KW , GO KW, GO KW
  10. Now the truth is known!

    Wow

    New Internet Tech 153,000 Times Faster Than Modem National Geographic News March 18, 2003 Scientists have developed a new data transfer protocol for the Internet fast enough to download a full-length DVD movie in less than five seconds, the California Institute of Technology said today. The protocol is called FAST, standing for Fast Active queue management Scalable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The researchers achieved a speed of 8,609 megabits per second (Mbps) by using 10 simultaneous flows of data over routed paths, the largest aggregate throughput ever accomplished in such a configuration, Caltech said in a news release. "That is 153,000 times that of today's modem and close to 6,000 times that of the common standard for ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) connections." A new data transfer protocol for the Internet may cause long download times to become a thing of the past. The scientific development dramatically increases the speed of data flow, fast enough to download a full-length DVD in less than five_seconds. "The FAST protocol sustained this speed using standard packet size, stably over an extended period on shared networks in the presence of background traffic, making it adaptable for deployment on the world's high-speed production networks," Caltech said. Harvey Newman, a professor of physics at Caltech, said the fast protocol "represents a milestone for science, for grid systems, and for the Internet." "The ability to extract, transport, analyze and share many Terabyte-scale data collections is at the heart of the process of search and discovery for new scientific knowledge," Newman said. Les Cottrell of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), which worked with Caltech on the experiment, said that progress in speeding up data transfers over long distances was critical to progress in various scientific endeavors. "These include sciences such as high-energy physics and nuclear physics, astronomy, global weather predictions, biology, seismology, and fusion; and industries such as aerospace, medicine, and media distribution." "Today, these activities often are forced to share their data using literally truck or plane loads of data," Cottrell said. "Utilizing the network can dramatically reduce the delays and automate today's labor-intensive procedures." The data was transferred over shared research networks in the presence of background traffic, suggesting that FAST can be backward compatible with the current protocol, Caltech said. The FAST team has started to work with various groups around the world to explore testing and deploying FAST TCP in communities that need multi-Gbps networking urgently. With Internet speeds doubling roughly annually, the performances demonstrated by the new protocol could become commonly available in the next few years, Caltech said. "So the demonstration is important to set expectations, for planning, and to indicate how to utilize such speeds," The testbed used in the Caltech/SLAC experiment was the culmination of a multi-year effort, led by Caltech physicist Harvey Newman's group on behalf of the international high energy and nuclear physics (HENP) community, together with CERN, SLAC, Caltech Center for Advanced Computing Research (CACR), and other organizations. The experiment was performed last November during the Supercomputing Conference in Baltimore by a team from Caltech and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), working in partnership with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and the organizations DataTAG, StarLight, TeraGrid, Cisco, and Level(3). The FAST protocol was developed in Caltech's Networking Lab, led by Steven Low, associate professor of computer science and electrical engineering. It is based on theoretical work done in collaboration with John Doyle, a professor of control and dynamical systems, electrical engineering, and bioengineering at Caltech, and Fernando Paganini, associate professor of electrical engineering at UCLA. It builds on work from a growing community of theoreticians interested in building a theoretical foundation of the Internet, an effort in which Caltech has been playing a leading role.
  12. Your entry does not qualify. Read the rules and try again
  13. This is the best form of SPAM I have seen yet! LOL :)
  14. Hi, We have set the servers this way to reduce load and improve security.
  15. Nice.... I really like the N64 - worthless (tell my five year old that)
  16. I got my can o' woop a#@ Let me know Lady Li
  17. Look liana another happy customer. HG
  18. LOL - groovy Avatar To make the grooovy counter work - Create a new one and call it - mycounter Do not add .dat to the end of it. Copy the html code and see if it worked.
  19. It was just stated on American TV that the war against IRAQ has begun. I do not want to start any political discussions, however. God bless the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.
  20. Your welcome turtle I saw your post and thought "I can do that"
  21. Turtle - Your wish is my command! TCH Rocks
  22. All servers have been updated to support all three stats packages.
