Yeah, but what about running servers behind the AP? Lots of games and apps require you to do port forwarding. It would suck to be playing an online game and a neighbor kicks off a bittorrent download and you lag yourself to death. Even if you can log in with the default name/password on the AP and forward the ports, one of the other neighbors might log in and change it to something else. You also have the potential that the owner(s) don't stay connected 24/7.

Exactly. Quoting my previous comment:

Must everybody in the world have thier own broswer these days? We are already plagued by interoperability in browsers, Operating Systems, Instant messengers, etc... I know it's always good to have a choice, but not when it's this complicated. I support multiple choices, but I'd like them all to at least work, as well as work together. It seems like these days everybody wants to be a search engine, everybody wants to offer a music download service. Now is everyone going to offer thier own browers?

If you are still looking for Gmail invites, I have 78 left. Pretty good odds too.

74 Gmail invites. Anybody can win this.

I got extra invites too. Take them off my hand please

Yup, people complain about a lack of time, and how they can't live without a cell phone, etc...

Seems to me that people were probably more relaxed and had more time before all the gadgets arrived... After all, you can waste a whole day scanning for viruses, spyware, installing patches, etc that just sucks out time.

Yeah, people bitch about high insurance rates, but when an acceptable(?) solution comes around they seem to balk at it. After all, if you want a low rate, why not prove it? Is Big Brother/privacy concerns worth the $?

Play the free Gmail game. 35 invites availiable. Best odds on the net.

Your right. This is great sounding, but I think the payout is way too low. You can't save enough personally to justify the hassle of setting up the program. Also, I don't think you'd be able to make enough pushing it to friends/site visitors. It's just too cheap of a product to begin with.

This is a great way to find lots of Linux games in one place. Previously I had to search Google, follow tons of broken links, get pisssed off, etc...

This is a good way to get a new generation of engineers going. I know many of us probably got our start with games, computers, etc at an early age. It seems like it was easier back then because the systems weren't as complicated as they are now. Back then we had nice breadboards, through-hole components, eeproms, etc that made hardware hacking and learning easier. Now with all the SMT, it's hard to jump in and learn from scratch.

A new device such as this with eduction in mind from the start surely sounds like a nice hobby experience.

Buy your tech gear for much less.

Hopefully this will open up the ability for dvarchive to include show-sharing for the ReplayTV users. I don't think it's a problem adding the code, it's just not on the top of the developer's list of things to do.

I assume that this is pretty rare. Even if you do set up this think on the side of a house, etc, how many people do you expect to show up? A drive in? How many cars can most people get in thier yard anyway?

I bet it's pretty hard to set this up for a large scale operation.

No crap. How about having a drop down toolbar so you can choose your language. I'm sure someone can translate the site navigation to different languages. When it comes down to a 1-on-1 with an orkut user, if you can't understand them due to the language barrier, then your probably wouldn't hang out with them in real life anyway.

Stealing is wrong, but AltaVista kinda sucks. I'm sure the brainiacs at Microsoft can come up with something better than AltaVista. In time we will be able to see if they can knock off Google. I'm sure they will embed search technology into thier new OSes, so that would be a huge advantage right there.

Almost all alarms are the same though. Enter with the key, put ket in ignition and turn to the on position and push the little button (usually under the dash). That will disable the alarm for that instance. You gotta know where the button is though. Most aftermarket alarm installers put them in the same position though...

Yep, I can't find the article now, but I read that most job openings are filled by referrals from existing employees. You might be able to find openings online or in the paper, but they will give you a tougher interview process. A recommendation from a friend on the inside will get you a step ahead of the other random applicants.

The Ipod has been the subject of many different discussion on how simple it is to use. It elegant, feature packed, and only takes a few minutes to learn to use. I'm sure Apple probably has some patents on it, but I wonder why other's don't try to copy the design. Even if it's just minor changes, you should still be able to get around the patent infringements.

I think I remember seeing articles about how people used HAM radio's during the 9/11 attacks to call for help, report situations, and communicate with others. Of course wi-fi wasn't as popular then, but I believe HAM radios would have the edge on distance. Some wi-fi access points don't have coverage more than a few hundred feet.

--
11 Gmail invitations availiable

HAM radios are not as popular as they once were. I think events like this have the ability to bring the hobby to a new generation. With email being so easy to communicate with others around the world, it makes HAM radios look cumbersome.

I think the real attention grabber would be to show how these HAM radios have been around for so long and still continue to get the job done. After all, you can communicate around the world with technology developed before the Internet!

Now that the overall storage has been raised (by a considerable amount), I imagine the next shootout will be over who will allow the largest attatchments or the most attatchments. It sucks when trying to email a bunch of digital pictures to a person that can't use winzip or gzip. If you send them all individually many web email services will only let you send up to 5 at a time.

I realized the redundancy of the link, but I was merely pointing out the price and availiablity. This is a product that I have not tracked pricing for, so I'm not sure if $1,799 is average, high, or low. I also do not know if this is the type of product that has had price reductions over time. I assume that as time goes on and more competitors emerge that the prices will fall even more.

How much do you think it would cost to build one of these? The pride of building one yourself can't be measured, but there would be a cost of developing your own. Either via your upfront costs, maintenance, or time involved. Buying a ready made product does have some advantages.

While many homebrew projects are better than commercial products, you have to be pretty handy to build a product more efficiently than a team of engineers. This company probably had a higher R&D budget and worked out lots of kinks before releasing this lawn mower through multiple iterations of development cycles.

Fully automated Docking Station mower

Recharges it's power pack by itself

Departs on your schedule

Manual controller (can be used as like a traditional mower for trimming small areas)

It seems expensive, but it if you really want it (and want it now) they are availiable. Even if you don't wan't to spend that type of cash and want to build it from scratch, I'd recommend visiting company websites that develop these and download their product brochures. You might be able to learn enough from them to get some tips on getting started. Look for white papers, FAQs, product manuals too...

Everyone in an IT department has probably heard of how efficient the Google platform is. They have the ability to add and remove nodes easy and fast. Pick up an IT trade mag and they usually have information about the Google cluster. A lot of it is proprietary and secret, but some details are availiable. Such as the fact they have written thier cluster software from the ground up. They added more capability than just web searches. I'm sure they are putting it to use in the Gmail, Froogle, and News sections of their site now.

This is really great news as it's becoming more popular to add CPU clusters to improve performance. Google is probably not the originator of this type of computing, but they have definately pushed it into the mainstream. Anyone living in NC might want to check out this new cluster going into RTP NC. I wonder if this will be the biggest cluser ever

While it's always good to learn some of the basics, the real hardware hackers have a drive that most people don't have. You have to be willing to break a few things beyond repair while making mods. Also, the creativity of some of the hardware hacks I've seen is outstanding. You can't learn the truely unique hardware hacks from a book. The unique ideas are often the hardest part.
