    "I think I'll go with brand X"
    You can do that assuming that you are looking for internet services.
  2. My experience... by steppin_razor_LA · · Score: 1 · on ISPs Known for Defending Their Customer's Rights?
    I was hosting some "consumer advocacy" content that earned the animosity of some of the companies that were on my "hall of shame".

    I had a lot of problems hosting my content. The lawyers from the companies sent threatening letters to the ISPs and they would drop my site. It didn't matter that the CDA held them non liable, etc -- they just didn't want to deal with anything have to do with lawyers.

    Eventually I found Brand X Internet. They were recently in the news on Slashdot (they were the small ISP that took up the cause of smaller DSL providers to the supreme court and lost). Working with Brand X was a breath of fresh air!

  3. More QX3 Links and Info by cybrpnk · · Score: 5, Informative · on DIY Computer Video Microscopy For Under $50

    The IntelPlay site has a good QX3 FAQ as well as the product's 3/29/02 obituary. We can only hope they are clearing out stock before introducing the new improved version, but I doubt it - Intel is discontinuing ALL Intelplay toys, not just the microscope. With MTV style advertising like this it's no wonder it failed to find a continuing market niche as a classic toy - it takes longer than a 10 second attention span to do science. Some gross-out photos are here, as well as a comparison of a QX3 vs.Zeiss dissection scope as well as a comparison of the QX3 and another "inexpensive educational toy" called the Pocketscope. The main Pocketscope site talks about how to add video and lighting to their superior optics. Tinkering with, adjusting, modifying and using the QX3 is discussed here, here and here. More places to buy a QX3 before they go universally out of stock are GlobalMart, Erwincomputers, and Amazon.

  4. Re:Interresting review... by MonkeyBot · · Score: 2, Informative · on T1: A Survival Guide

    The best way to go is surf around on the net and find an intro-level T1 howto-- this is a good one. You'll also need some hardware to start up with--the small Intel routers are nice and easy to set up. Sangoma cards are great if you are comfortable with Linux. Unfortunately, though, the documentation that comes with both of these are less-than-helpful unless you have a basic understanding of T1 stuff, which is best reaped from the web.
