If it's cable, by definition it's shared circuit. Seeing other people's downstream under global logging of all packets would be normal.
Promisc mode cable gear would be an interesting anomaly but that sounds like exactly what is happening.
There's a relatively interesting barrier around cable-modem gear and open source such that you could theoretically rent a house on a block with the right custom gear and see your neighbor's traffic and everything as far as subscription is handled by MAC address. So... there is a thing where you can buy a mac spoofing surfboard and get free service forever. The problem is that the gear is really hard to come by and no open source options exist for a chunk of hardware that is consumer buy-able
@Seth They even have a WINS example in the CCNP training material on differences between cable and DSL with old school cable modems. I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but broadcast traffic was the example. It's still theoretically possible given the right hardware.
I've got a lot of problems about the LINUX . I currently just download Ubuntu. I really wonder what does 0.0 mean, how to combine command like ls -alh ( which one should come first) , what is the command short for (eg. wc). Any books that tell us all these little things?
Thanks.
I have just marked a question as a duplicate and after sometime I have found other users answering it with the same answers like in the linked duplicate question.
How can I handle such cases?
@AdityaPatil In fairness that's hopefully not the last time it was booted but rather that there's a load-balancer sitting in front of multiple servers so there's never any downtime. That's all netcraft is tracking.
Could someone please tell me when during the boot process and why /etc/init/failsafe.conf is invoked?
If possible, please point me towards a resource (keyword or link) where I could read more about the bootup process.
Thank you.
Yes, reinstalling sudo package would be possible via chroot method.

In fact, I recently asked an OSX question that got 6 upvotes so, not bad
@Seth in general, anything tyhat is about the Unix underpinnings of OSX is fine and on topic. Gui stuff that is specific to OSX is off topic and should go to askdifferent

Advice is needed: I am trying to set up a dual boot system. I have a 160GB SSD and am planning to get a WD Caviar Blue 500GB / 7200RPM mechanical drive to go along with it.
What would be a better option: Windows on the SSD and Ubuntu on the mechanical drive? Or stick both on the SSD and use the mechanical drive for data?
Keep in mind that I'm taking more than just speed into account...
I don't have install media for my copy of Windows 8.1. It was an upgrade from Windows 8 which was an upgrade from Vista which was an OEM copy originally.
If you're only gaming in Windows, that makes things somewhat easier.. The SSD is only improving load times so spending an extra few seconds loading things into memory isn't going to kill you and it'll let you give the SSD to Ubuntu in full.
So you're suggesting moving Windows to the mechanical drive... interesting... I hadn't thought of that as an option... but, that might actually be the best.
160 GB should be enough for Ubuntu assuming ~ is located elsewhere.
It's things like Firefox cache directories, swap —disk space that gets a lot of churn— where you see the biggest benefits of SSD. If you're doing all that in Ubuntu most of the time, yeah, kick windows off onto spinning rust.
As long as you're not planning on doing any gaming on ubuntu... I do so a few of my games are split out over onto RAID5... As is a fair amount of my profile actually but if you have a NAS, you won't need as much stuff on your computer.
And FWIW, Wine with the CSTM patches is stupid-fast on games it works for. That's always the way with Wine though... If it works, it's usually great but you're limited to the games it suppoers.
Will that what? If you don't take the time to re-read your question and make sure you actually typed it, why should we take the time to answer it? — terdon16 secs ago
@Mateo yes, I also edited it, it was even worse before. I really get annoyed at people who don''t even use a spell checker or just re-read their question once.
I have noticed occasionally when on this and other sites that questions are closed, even when they have been answered. An example of this is here - here is the closed explanation:

Please don't mixup with Quality blocks enabled for questions.
For some time now, I've seen the system accepting low quality stuff, without capitalized I's, a mess of punctuation signs, all-caps questions, and other indicators that the asker has poor language skills. Are these checks not enabled ...
@Braiam There appears to be no real problem with it, maybe they wanted you to further expand your description or simplify it a little (you know how noobies are).
Of course the audit system cannot take such things into account - but I guess there should be another button aside from "I understand" - something like "I know I am right, I wanna report this audit"
No, it was in the audit queue - AH I see what you are getting at - will do immediately
I guess your proposal on meta is one way to handle those cases, I still would prefer to have all kinds of posts there but to be able to say: "I still stand by my decision, I know I'm right, please review this audit"
There is a mayor problem with one of our close reasons and the audits. We close stuff based in "no reproducible" basis, when OP can't figure out what was wrong nor how the issue was solved nor there's enough diagnostic information to verify. Now, those issues somehow or another get several upvote...
In the end, should a single user be able to dequeue a post like that when it normally takes three (previously five) Leave Open votes to dequeue it?
Yes, assuming that they're actually doing something useful to it.
The intent of the close queue is to find posts that aren't closed but should...

if you didn't add the missing information from somewhere else, allow that the question continue their course
It was a real pain to install since it has to slide in straight and one of the RAM chips was in the way.
So I had to move my SSD down two slots, take out the RAM chips, disconnect the power cables to my video card, slide the drive in, connect the power/SATA cables, reinsert the RAM chips, reconnect the power cables to the video card, and then boot the thing up.
