While I like the idea behind net neutrality, I do not see government intervention as a viable path to achieve or maintain it. Government involvement rarely, if ever, improves a situation. It almost always makes it worse. Government regulation would be a poor replacement to market forces. As it is now, if you don't…

All emails, work or personal, get:

@Adam Pash: Sounds like perhaps it's some kind of caching issue. I had to manually refresh my page as well.

I use DynDNS and I didn't have any problem at all entering the new DNS record. I'll give the new record time to propagate and then I'll send an email to my office to check out the headers.

@LordieLordie: TXT doesn't go in the host name. TXT is the type of record you're creating.

That thing didn't even seem to smear the cleaning solution around much less actually clean anything. It's just a big bristle bot.

I understand this only comes into play if you get arrested. When you get arrested, they automatically have access to everything in your possession at the time anyway so this really isn't anything new.

I was using Windows Media Center. However, the drivers for the TV tuner in my computer really sucked. I was getting BSOD several times a day, always while watching TV. All of that stopped when I removed the TV tuner and just started using a DVR box from Dish Network. It never crashes, has higher quality recording,…

@mike_311: It's pretty easy to forget when it's raining or cold outside and your mailbox is out by the road, 30 or 40 yards away from the house. Unfortunately, this project isn't really practical in that scenario. That's a long way to run a pair of wires. I suspect the voltage drop over that long a run of wire…

I haven't noticed this issue. However, my ISP, HughesNet, is actually using Google's DNS. When my router gets it's IP from the HughesNet modem, both the primary and secondary DNS entries are set to 8.8.8.8. So, my only option would be to force my local machines to use a different 3rd party DNS, which probably…

While I do support the concept of net neutrality, I think it should be dealt with properly. The proper way to deal with it would be through the legislative process in Congress, not through a simple majority vote by unelected bureaucrats at the FCC. The courts have already ruled that the FCC does not have…

We recently lost a dog to cancer. He was old for his particular breed. It was like losing a member of the family. The visits to the small animal clinic, lab work, pathology, and treatments that kept him comfortable and probably extended his life by a couple of months, followed by the euthanasia bill when the…

I must have strange ears. I tried this with my stock iPod ear buds and they fell out immediately. I simply can't get them to stay in my ears any other way than the normal way. Also, I've never really had any complaints about the stock iPod ear buds. They sound OK for what they are. If I want audiophile quality…

I like my job and even if I didn't need the money, I'd probably be doing something similar to stay occupied.

The Samsung Focus has an especially nice screen. It's probably the clearest, brightest screen I've ever seen on a smartphone. Black is so black it's hard to tell where the screen ends and the bezel begins.

All this fuss about climate change amazes me. With or without human activity, the climate is in constant change. That's what the climate does. It's been getting warmer ever since the last ice age ended. Sooner or later, it'll start getting cooler signaling the start of the next ice age. It's a cycle. I don't…

I see no reason to run AVG or any other third party antivirus program. MS Security Essentials does an excellent job, has a no noticeable impact on performance, and is free with no ads.

@k4gdw: spoo... log = long :)

That has to be one of the cutest puppies I've seen in a log time. Yeah, I admit it. I'm a dog person.
