I just thought this was funny...

my brother is sending me a 'few' files through my FTP. We had never seen a "days" dialog before.

It's also kind of funny that we get awesome connections with everyone else in the world but each other...

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks to my brother, Evil, for the screen ;)

I run fiber optic he runs dsl. We both get fantastic rates with everyone else we connect to. Whats so funny is that we only live about 10 miles away from each other. We could burn cd's of the files, walk them to each others houses, and be back enjoying a beer before this transfer was finished.

My brother and I are 10 miles apart. I ran traceroute on a new transfer (we killed that 51 day transfer yesterday) and it seems our data is moved over most of North America and into Britain and then back again.:dead:

So he's bringing me some data cd's tomorrow (in exchange for a sweet 2 hour Bruce Lee biography I have on tape)...looks like we'll be finished 47 days early!

What's funny is I ran a traceroute on a Q3 server located about 100 miles away from me that I use alot...the data doesn't even leave the state. Go figure.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
