[03:52] <Takyoji__> Anyone know the difference between TeX and LaTeX?
[03:52] <AlphaCluster> there really isnt anymore
[03:52] <AlphaCluster> LaTeX is just the modern version of TeX really
[03:52] <Takyoji__> ahh
[03:54] <AlphaCluster> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX
[04:03] <Takyoji__> Anyone know of a simple MTU optimizer tool for Windowz?
[04:08] <Alpha_Cluster> MTU?
[04:09] <Takyoji__> Maximum Transmission Unit
[04:09] <Takyoji__> It's something you rarely have to deal with.
[04:10] <Takyoji__> It's how big a packet can be.
[04:10] <Alpha_Cluster> ahh
[04:10] <Alpha_Cluster> ive never messed with networking stuff in windows >.<
[04:10] <Takyoji__> If the packets are too big for the network to handle, each packet gets split, and thus decreases the performance
[04:10] <Alpha_Cluster> i understand that
[04:11] <Takyoji__> I think you only really deal with it with dial-up or GPRS connections or something
[04:11] <Takyoji__> and when you don't have a router or something that can't automatically just detect the MTU from the device before it.
[04:11] <Alpha_Cluster> yeah
[04:12] <Takyoji__> There's "FINALLY FAST!" that basically just changes the MTU value; but very misadvertised and almost scandalistic and bloated in a way
[04:13] <Alpha_Cluster> lol
[04:13] <Takyoji__> It's commercial that has a Mac BSoDing. :P
[04:13] <Alpha_Cluster> yeah iknow
[04:13] <Alpha_Cluster> i actually found a good blog post awhile back about the registery hacks it does
[04:14] <Takyoji__> I'd be curious of reading such.
[04:14] <Takyoji__> The company also has a terrible rating on Web of Trust for any of their products.
[04:15] <Alpha_Cluster> lol
[04:16] <Takyoji__> Someone was just asking me if the product was fine (few minutes ago)
[04:17] <Alpha_Cluster> i hope you game them the warning its more damaging then good?
[04:17] <Alpha_Cluster> omg i HATE this router!!!
[04:17] <Takyoji__> Pretty much

[04:20] <Takyoji__> Tweak your link on the page, as it goes down to the comments part of the page (just remove anything after the ampersand)
[04:21] <Alpha_Cluster> oh thanks whoops its been like that sense February >.<
[04:22] <Alpha_Cluster> fixed :) and thanks again :)
