For once, I couldn't agree more with Mr. Cosby- Read on people
Using the example of computer 1 and computer 2. The TCP connection is the second segment of three used to establish a TCP connection. In step 1 computer 1 sends a message to computer 2 with its SYN bit set saying in effect that it want to communicate and synchronize sequence numbers. It sends a random number that will be used to synchronize the communications. Example would be 840973201. After computer 2 receives this message it responds with a segment whose ACK and SYN are BOTH set. In computer 2’s response the ACK field contains a # that equals the sequence # originally sent plus 1, example would be 840973202. This way it tells computer 1 it received the communication and expects it to respond with the sequence # 840973202. In its SYN field computer 2 sends it own random number which computer 1 will use to acknowledge that it received computer 2’s transmission. Then computer 1 sends out a segment whose sequence # is the 840973202 number because this is what computer 2 expects to get. Also in that same segment computer 1 also communicates a sequence # via its ACK field. This number equals the sequence number that computer 2 sent plus 1. So if computer 2 sent the # 265470938 then computer 1 would send the # 265470939. The two computer will talk this way until computer 1 sends out a Fin flag saying it doesn’t want to talk anymore

regarding Michael phelps drama
Folks need to leave him alone and perhaps give him just a little bit of credit. He is, after all, at least cowboying up about it and taking responsiblity for it. I give him a great deal of credit for that because WAY too many people DO NOT. He is still very young and as we all know the young are prone to fits of stupidity lol. GIVE THE YOUNG MAN A BREAK PEOPLE, really.

Article on Stimulus Bill I saw on yahoo
All I can say is I TOLD YOU SO PEOPLE ! I said dont vote for this joker, black or not, he will ruin this country. NOBODY listened and now look at the mess we are in. This stimulus plan is the biggest piece of pork barrel BS I have ever seen. I am scared for this country and what this means our future. The freakin libs are gonna ruin everything and mess it up even worse than it already is. Well, we can pray I guess.
What follows is the article I saw on yahoo that promted this blog .
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Wednesday the recession will turn into "a catastrophe" if the economic stimulus is not passed quickly, lobbying anew for the plan as its price tag climbed above $900 billion and drew more criticism.
The president rejected several complaints about the plan, including arguments that tax cuts alone would solve the problem or that longer-term goals such as energy independence and health care reform should wait. Obama opposed such piecemeal approaches.
Instead, he argued that recalcitrant lawmakers need to get behind him, saying the American people embraced his ideas when they elected him president in November.
While urging members of Congress to act swiftly, he also promised to make changes to the legislation, which has been criticized as larded with spending that won't have an immediate impact on the economy.
"No plan is perfect, and we should work to make it stronger," Obama told reporters at the White House. "Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the essential. Let's show people all over our country who are looking for leadership in this difficult time that we are equal to the task."
Obama has sought each day to ratchet up the pressure on lawmakers, bringing different supportive groups to the White House, scheduling a series of TV interviews, even traveling to a charter school to tout one portion of the bill.
"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future," he said. "That's why I feel such a sense of urgency about the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan."
The Senate added money to its version of the bill for medical research and tax breaks for car purchases. The price tag could go yet higher Wednesday if a tax break for homebuyers is made more generous, even as centrists in both parties promise to clear away spending items that won't jump-start the economy immediately.
In an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Obama signaled a willingness to drop items that "may not really stimulate the economy right now." He also signaled he'll try to remove "buy American" provisions in the legislation to avoid a possible trade war.
In a victory for auto manufacturers and dealers, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., won a 71-26 vote to allow most car buyers to claim an income tax deduction for sales taxes paid on new autos and interest payments on car loans. The break would cost $11 billion over the coming decade but could mean savings of $1,500 on a $25,000 car.
"Just as we need to get the housing market going, we need to get auto sales going," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.
Wednesday's session could produce even more generous savings for homebuyers.
Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., is pressing for a tax credit of up to $15,000 for everyone who buys a home this year, at a cost of $18.5 billion. The pending measure would award a $7,500 tax credit only to first-time homebuyers.
At the same time, centrist senators, including Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, are seeking to cut tens of billions of dollars from the legislation. They're operating with the blessing of Democratic leaders, who hope a successful effort could attract some GOP votes for Obama's plan.
Obama summoned Collins to a White House meeting Wednesday afternoon, a Collins aide said.
Democratic leaders conceded they may soon be obliged to cut billions of dollars from the measure. "It goes without saying if it's going to pass in the Senate, it has to be bipartisan," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democratic leader, adding that rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties want to reduce the cost of the bill.
In a series of skirmishes Tuesday, the Senate turned back a proposal to add $25 billion for public works projects and voted to remove a $246 million tax break for movie producers. Both moves were engineered by Republicans who are critical of the bill's size and voice skepticism of its ability to create jobs.
But several hours later, GOP conservatives didn't contest approval of a $6.5 billion increase in research funding for the politically popular National Institutes of Health. That amendment, by Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, drove the price tag of Obama's plan just above $900 billion.
Democratic leaders have pledged to have the bill ready for Obama's signature by mid-month.
