Comcast 250 gb Bandwidth Cap and cloud computing?

Posted onAuthorTech News1 Comment

It’s official, Comcast is crippling us in a crippling time.
During a time when we all need something to stay the same, Comcast is deciding to come up with a way to charge us more for stuff we are into. I mean, get addicted to smoking, they tax you, get addicted to internet activity, comcast buys out all providers and then sets a limit and charges for excess.
Ok enough with the rant before I let my real emotions loose.
Has anyone considered what this would do to cloud computing? we are considering CC here at the office I work at. We have well over 500 gb of important every day files that we access. even if we only touch about 4 gb of actual files a day, you have to picture 30 of us checking updates and status of each file. first we transfer to our pc so we can look t it, make changes as we need and re-upload it.
That 4 gigs of file getting transferred probably about 50 times a day, we would break our cap within a week.
I know , “Cloud Computing in an office ?” but you have to see that we have grown large and do not want to mess with our servers and do not want to have to worry about who is going to myspace or facebook while at work, we don’t want people’s computers getting a virus anymore. We wanna pay someone else to worry about all the tiny tweaks and just let us do our jobs.
Looks like comcast is making that a harder idea to see.

Dsl does not go that fast. There really is no option .

New WINDOWS LIVE Breaks GTAIV even worse

Posted onAuthorTech News16 Comments

Today April 21st, Microsoft released a new update to WINDOWS LIVE . The forums at GTAFORUMS.Com goes crazy.
Looks like Microsoft bundled some lines of code that totally trashed what few users and players of Grand Theft Auto IV, that Rockstar Games had left. The game seems to work fine in Multi- Player , but has traumatic effect on Single player mode. You can no longer tweak and adjust your game. The game stutters so bad and hangs up, that no one can get even four minutes of play time to test out said tweaks. It kind of looks intentional.
Picture this:
Rockstar games might have actually put the screws to Microsoft, for allowing cheats in thier online community, and well, looks like they might have barked up the wrong tree. Sad part is, they are contracted to them, so they can’t just drop the windows live program.

This of course is where the modders and tweakers need to come together. MTA-IV and Iv-mp need to band together and make something quick to save Rockstar in this.

Now this is pretty much speculation, but man it would be scary if it was true.
Xliveless is the way to go, but patches are hard to get and use once you do that.

If you feel that Microsoft needs to Address this, Sign below with a response.
Let our Text be read, we need to prove there are more than just a hand full of out there.

Call it a petition. Call it a group effort. I just consider it a gathering of upset customers.
We are customers of Microsoft, we are displeased.

Even if you do not agree with my opinion, let your’s be read and lets let Microsoft hear from us.
Just reply to this with your opinion on the matter.
Digg it for me

Win Fights In Mobsters Myspace

Posted onAuthorTech News

Sometimes the best offence is a good defence, so look through your equipment tab and find the weapon with the highest attack. If you have 500 mobsters, buy 500 of that weapon. If you have 258 buy 258, and so on and so forth. This will help you attack rival mobsters. Once you have the best attack weapons go to the armor tab and do the same for the armor, and once more for the vehicles.

But you also need to protect yourself against other people that are attacking you. So go to the weapons tab once more and buy the weapon with the highest defence. You will use the weapon with the highest defence if your defending. so it only makes sence to buy the best defence weapon. Then go to your armor tab and do the same thing, buy the armor with the best defence. and once more for the vehicles tab.

When attacking other mobsters you will use the best attack weapon/vehicle/ and armor to fight them so by buying the most amount you can use of each you are inreasing your chances at winning the battle.

Same goes for if you are attacked, best defence weapon/vehicle/armor will be used to defend you so buy the same number of each as you have mobsters.

EX: 500 mobsters buy 500 of the best attack weapons/vehicles/armor

EX: 200 mobsters buy 200 of the best defence weapons/vehicles/armor

And us at Attack At Will are always looking for new recruits to teach and fight along side with us.  We will also help you reach the long awaited goal of 500 mobsters if you still need to. So come join us at Attackatwill.com. Tell them that Poit sent you.

GTAIV issues, what works for me.

Posted onAuthorTech News

Playing Grand Theft Auto IV I was having the issue of images vanishing after just minutes of gameplay. The more the stuff I had going on, the worse it got. I looked online for the capacities of my motherboard. I found that the native memory I was using, What the manufacture says on the box that my motherboard came with is 667mhz. No where on the box did it signify that I could go any further. So I Googled my motherboard. What I found was lots of people like myself did what I did. We all bough what we thought was the max memory for the board. 2 Gigs of 667mhz ddr2. but others experimented and found that it can handle greater than 800 mhz ddr. So I headed to the electronics store and bought 4 gigs of pc 6400 800 mhz ddr2 memory. Then when I got home, I tried to find teh forums that I saw earlier. By that time I found a handfull sites selling the same motherboard, the specs they had on those sites showed greater than 800 mhz..Dang. but I did the install.
You would not believe the speed increase I gained from this. The game has no lag issues. I stay at 30 fps min, and never have any stutter, never have any vanishing items. just that small step up and doubling my memory, the game plays like a gem.
The canned air in the heatsinks didn’t hurt me . So I think I am well on my way. See you online. I will be at gtaclans.com when I am not actually in game.
