How my grandparents' home connection got 100x faster than my server's Tags: computers, real life.
Reggefiber is putting down FTTH connections to most people around here. Much of the network up to the local exchange points is already optic fiber, only now it goes from the local exchange point to your home over fiber. This is quite a massive operation to connect thousands of homes, and at least 30% of the people have to do it to make it worthwhile. Most cities reach 30% and can then choose which ISP they want. Reggefiber just puts down the connection, they don't provide the internet service itself; nevermind that they're 51% owned by one of the ISPs, namely KPN, but on paper they're unbiased.
So my grandparents are almost 80 years old.

MAC-address analysis Tags: networking, computers, hardware.
First, a few things you need to know about MAC addresses: When a NIC (Network Interface Card) is manufactured, it is given (issued) a globally unique MAC address. Don't rely on their uniqueness though because users easily can modify them. A MAC address is 48 bits in size (12 characters hexadecimal, as you probably know them), and they are divided up into two halves: the first and the second half! Hard stuff, I know.
The first half is the "OUI" (like the French word for "yes" while forgetting to release caps-lock).

Define: The cloud Tags: webdevelopment, computers, networking.
According to Wikipedia, this is the definition of "Cloud Computing". The new kid on the block, something overhyped that nobody understands.
"Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network (typically the Internet)."
(Note that SaaS is a known term among both IT people

Pure magic: rebooting Tags: Windows, computers.
So you got a really weird problem, every diagnostic you run is positive but the function just won't work. You tried about everything there is to try, but the mad girlfriend bug persists.
I had this today with the sound on my mother's laptop. The sound device was enabled, working fine it said, the Windows Audio service was started, the volume was at 80% and not muted, and it even showed the volume on the volume bar when it was supposed to play.

Authorative technology Tags: computers.
This is a translation from a Dutch opinion article by Christian Jongeneel, published in 'De Ingenieur' (The Engineer) on October 28th 2011.
Once, I owned an Apple IIcx, a payment in kind of a befriended editorial, who had purchased a new one. Back then you were tied to an Apple if you wanted to design a magazine. I used it for my volunteersmagazine. It was a nice machine, it came with a big screen, which I could júst lift on my own.
Just like my PC the Apple crashed regularly.
