I know, I like lollypops too

which seems to contradict your name on this board

bandwidth IS the measurement of your connection speed. Consider that cable modem clients pull in upwards of 1Mbps at times and will notice a slowdown from their usual use when they visit your page, particularly if other people are visiting your site. 256 would easily serve about 4 modem users at a time at their maximum data rate. Just depends on your content and what you want to accomplish with the site. I'd say 256 is fine if you are serving up some photos for friends to view.

well there you go, plenty of nerdage to go around it appears.

Some ISPs put monthly data transfer caps on personal web sites to prevent users from bogging down servers with very popular websites. They can either bill you extra when you go over the cap, or actually disable the site for the remainder of the billing cycle. Bandwidth would be the rate at which your content is delivered. And "data transfer" in this case would be the amount you are allowed to serve in a given period. If you have a graphics-intensive or flash site for instance, you might want to be eyeing that "data transfer" limit.

I made a vinegar volcano once. it rocked!

the more bandwidth you have for your data connection, the more data/unit time you can transfer over that connection

'course this one's more appropriate for around here

ah that's the lawgoddess I know and love, sick custom emoticons

but those guys were sportfishing, not doing that crazy irresponsible shit those jokers up in the mountains do. charge those climbers to protect themselves from themselves!

rails terrify me. anytime my skis are perpendicular to the way I'm moving terrifies me. a friend and I dropped into a terrain park at T-Line and got yelled at for loitering in the "snowboard park" when my friend tried a rail slide with his tele gear that killed me.

follow the above info and you'll be buying a new cpu. There is the larger fan in your power supply, and often a smaller one on the cpu itself (on a heat sink) on the logic board. They are there for a reason. the cooler the cpu, the more efficiently it operates. get it too hot and it will literally melt, particularly with the high clock speeds these days. the fan on your cpu should stay put. as for the other larger fan, it also helps cool your expansion cards and the logic board in general by creating airflow. most cases (if you have a generic PC case) are designed to produce front-to-back airflow like a windtunnel. removing the case or the main fan prevents this from happening. It also prevents the case from doing its job as ESD protection, as it is usually lined with metal to provide a kind of faraday shield from static and grape juice and stuff. that said, plenty of people run systems w/o cases (I know one guy who found his cat sleeping on his logic board while running and it still works). the main fan does have a purpose though. if it is removable, there's a good chance you could replace it with a cheap new one from an electronics store.

so's hello kitty™ you freak

ah yes, the real mountains. thank you heir moderator.

erik change my title back I'm sick of explaining the "mt hood gives me wood" thing to people
