Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 02, 2002 6:00pm PDTYeah, pretty sure I'm gonna take the chick to see Austin Powers 3 this evening. Yeah.. thanks for the reminders! She's pretty stoked about seeing Signs too though so maybe a double feature or something.

Spoiler: The one problem I had with it is was the ending. In short: Jebus wins :( The movie is basically a story of a man who loses his faith and regains it. Really! I know there's aliens and stuff but that's the end result. Anyway... still a good movie.

"Neff, for instance, predicted Apple, which uses chips from Motorola and IBM that currently top out at 1GHz, will switch to Intel, whose chips run at 2.5GHz, to get a performance boost and gain more customers. There's a better than 80 percent chance Apple will make the jump in two to four years, he said."
Wow, he must have read the same little Steve Jobs blurb everyone else read! Bravo for your keen insight! ;)

My friend has VerizonDSL and says that no matter what he only gets 85k/s download on everything- it always maxes out there, no more no less.
This is what DSLReports shows for him:
Your download speed : 631152 bps, or 631 kbps.
A 77 KB/sec transfer rate.
And this is what it shows for me:
Your download speed : 1728580 bps, or 1728 kbps.
A 211 KB/sec transfer rate. (Cable Modem).
What is the difference between transfer rate and download speed?!?! wtf aren't they supposed to be the same! Is he getting his money's worth???
