I am a big proponent of buying used photography gear. The price of entry is considerably lower. For about the cost of renting (sometimes less, sometimes a little more), you can get rid of the gear if you don't find it agreeing with you and try something else.

Oodles of this. Better would be to make another one with Bale directed by Nolan. There certainly was room left for another one at the end of the trilogy.

They don't. I just mentioned being below 250gb to say I didn't even get to what they were capping back in the day. My parents pay $55/month for an 8 mbit line (Advanced Cable Company - they buy bandwidth from Comcast) about 40 minutes north of where I live. My gf pays $19.99 for a 50 mbit line (with Comcast) about 70 minutes north of where I live. The zip code you live in allows for companies to jack up the prices because they end up just having to compete with one other company. However, recently things have been getting worse. Last year, one of the companies that services my parents' home purchased the rights to the entire community they live in so they can set the price at whatever they want (I thought this was illegal...). They jacked up the price from $45/month to $55/month. I just got off the phone with ATT to see if they would match the price I was getting with Comcast earlier and I was told that they don't service the apartment community anymore. So it's just comcast now. For the past 3-4 years they have offered the $20/month for 25 mbit but now they only offer the 3 mbit line for $20/month and out of nowhere, the only other option I have is to get satellite? Doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. There doesn't seem to be any standard to their pricing across the county even.

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.
