  1. Game Boy DS? by squall14716 · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's called the Nintendo DS. I don't see where the "Game Boy" words came from, but that is not what it is called.

      Firefox is a web browser, and it "plays" all the web pages Internet Explorer does. Therefore, I will refer to it as IE Firefox from now on.

  2. this project is a joke by monkey_jam · · Score: 5, Interesting

    these guys have been hawking this project for weeks now, with nothing to show. They have no site and their entire project seems to revolve around drumming up support from all the 12 year olds in the warppipe forums.

    You want real tunneling with the DS? Team XLINK are working on it..

    The Nitro peeps are claiming 100% comaptibility with all wireless NICs in windows. Now this is impossible as most cards will not support promisc mode in windows, not to mention that they ignore BSS stuff most of the time.

  3. Both router and pc card? by lazn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why would it need both a wireless router and a wireless PC card? It would seem to me the wireless PC card would be enough... (then some form of high speed internet access on the PC)
