TireShop development will continue...

I've been slacking pretty badly on TireShop development lately, but that doesn't mean that development is dead.  I'm going to get back into the development swing very shortly, and there should be bug fixes, new features, and possibly iPhone integration...

Okay, maybe I made up the iPhone part, but you get the picture.  TireShop is not dead!

1 + Infinity != Infinity

I know, it sounds weird... but it's true.  Actually you can't add anything to infinity at all, and if you tried you could create some sort of cosmic paradigm where the infinite universe attempts to join with another dimension and that could really screw things up.  [See Futurama for confirmation]

I've always wanted to have a theorem named after me (jealous of that damn Pythagoras) but I don't think this will cut it.  Especially since this is apparently something that has been accepted as fact for hundreds of years?  Oh well, my day will come.  Until then, leave infinity alone.

Vista File Copying/Deleting Problems

I've been having some troubles Moving and Deleting large files using Windows Vista, which is apparently a problem that a lot of people are having.  I've been searching for a fix to this issue for a looong time now and it looks like I've found it here.

It looks like cause of the problem (at least my problem, from what I've read there are several) is due to Vista's new Auto-Tuning Network.  To fix the problem, open up a command prompt as administrator and type in:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

...and reboot.  After running this fix I deleted a 208 MB file in about 0.5 seconds (which I had previously left deleting overnight only to end up cancelling it) so I think it's safe to say my problem is fixed. 

I suppose my network is no longer auto-tuned but what do you expect?  Vista to work?
