I fucking love comcast. My roommate was the only one who watched tv so he had the tv package with the internet. Now that he is leaving and I am getting a new roommate (who just wants internet like me) I called comcast to try to cancel the current package and just go back to the 25 mbit for $20/month. Was just informed that I could pay that amount for a 3 mbit line and that I would be very happy with the connection because it is uncapped...can't even threaten them with the usual I'll go with someone else because they have the monopoly for my community. We don't get services by anyone else. And even if I did get att they aren't much better with charging $55 for 20 mbit. This whole shit blows. Fuck comcast.

I don't know much about that body except that it does fantastic low light video. And BH is offering a $200 instant discount along with 4% rewards (always comes in handy for the extra battery. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1081854-REG/samsung_ev_nx1zzzbzbus_nx1_digital_camera.html Looks like a fun body.

Not a lens I would ever think to pick for portraiture but great images, Ari.

Care to share the recipe, Nate? I think the girls might enjoy it.

Thats what the anatomy professor called it...

Thanks all. Shelley, the shot was arranged by height. They just happened to bet he shortest in the group. I had the remote trigger in the other hand. Not sure why I felt the need to tilt my entire body to hide it.

Second from the left as you view the image from left to right, not radiographical left next to the lovely Olivia in the white coat.

I'm second from the left.

The lady from the LLS came over with a big fake check so we could take a picture with it

Still making incorrect assumptions, Dan. Even though I was no where close to the old 250gb limit (used up 132gb in the last 30 days), constantly streaming lectures which aren't even in HD seemed to set them off. I don't see any other reason as the hackintosh sees no torrent data. None of the other computers do either since there isn't any. Wish I had time to watch stuff that would need to be torrented =/ The seedbox was an unnecessary expense and was gotten rid of a long time ago.

Yup it was comcast. Got another wireless card. Got normal speeds. Put back the old card and went back down to 1 mbit. Texted a video of the two speeds to the local comcast technician yesterday at 3pm. Just got home and magically speeds are back to normal with the old wireless card. Fuckers were throttling the mac address.

Happy birthday Doug

Apartment community's new rules prohibit having a grill on the balcony Gave mine away yesterday to another med student. I haz a sad.

The download speeds were normal. FTP speeds only were getting throttled so reseting router didn't do anything. I called enough times to where the local head engineer gave me his cell phone number and told me to contact him directly. They said they did a whole lot of line tracing and some magical mumbo jumbo and randomly later that evening ftp speeds were the same as the speeds I was getting through my browser. A few months later the same thing happened. Went through the same nonsense. Got the same resolution. 12 hard drives are for 2 sets of redundant back ups. So really am just using 4 drives. The great hard drive crash of 2014 taught me to respect data back ups. It's a Hackintosh running Yosemite, Antonio.

Heh. It's got some 12 hard drives in it so its not being moved unless it needs to. It's a lot easier for it to stay here and me just get another wifi card. Might try setting up an hotspot through my phone and see if it pulls any better speeds.

Am trying to avoid doing this but will after my exam on Wednesday if I need to. Probably a lot easier to grab a cheap wifi card to see if the issue is on comcast's end and if they are indeed throttling the mac address of the desktop.

Speedtest on my iPhone, macbook air, Julie's macbook air and her iPhone all show 25 mbit downstream. Desktop shows ~1-3 mbit down. Does comcast see the mac address of the router only or do they see the mac address of all the devices connected to the router? My only guess is mac address throttling as they have throttled my connection twice in the past which I got them to fix after a lot of back and forth. But with that FTP speeds were low on all devices. Here its not just FTP speeds on the desktop but overall bandwidth it is seeing. FTP speeds on all other devices is normal. The desktop is not going over 3 mbit on speedtest.net for some reason. I've tried restarting everything and reseting all configs.

Can anyone think of a reason why a laptop would see the full bandwidth I am paying for (25 mbit) and all of a sudden the desktop is only seeing 3 mbit...no updates installed recently. No changes made to any software or hardware.

Tandoori chicken marinated for 6 days in a spice blend I came up with. Came out very good.

Chicken masala sandwich.

Nice acquisition Nate. Happy to report that I continue to love the Rotring 600 pen well past the honey moon period.

Happy Birthday Al.

Didn't know this. Thanks for the link.
