I rooted my G1 (not ADP) the moment I learned of WiFi tethering. I travel a lot and to lose the built-in tethering from my T-Mobile Dash was nearly a deal breaker. Now with the latest Cyanogen builds I've noticed it supports USB tethering, too, directly in the ROM:D
I've done this on more than one occasion while awaiting RMA parts to arrive for things like RAM. Bought a cheap $50 pair, enough to get booted up and online. Promptly returned with the decision "I decided not to upgrade" once my real stuff arrived in the mail.
In short: Best Buy is *great* for *borrowing* PC hardware!
When I say convoluted I speak in terms of user experience, not the underlying services. Using andLinux is far simpler and more seamlessly integrated than Cygwin is, imo.
I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make? While this post makes a good point about andLinux not supporting x64 yet, I'm not sure what your argument against it in favor of Cygwin is. It's not a VM or a dual boot. It runs in tandem with Windows, just like Cygwin, only more seamlessly (imo).

Why not something less convoluted like andLinux? I used Cygwin when I first started tinkering with Linux when I was young, but there are so many better alternatives at this point I don't understand why it's still around.
If you are redoing an instance 10-15 times at level 80, either you aren't making an effort to try new things, or you've already been at that level a loooooong, loooooong time.
I suppose it's worth pointing out that my comments were not strictly pointed towards instances, but also raids. Once you clear something like Naxx or Uld 15+ times, you wouldn't agree it's the least bit repetitive?
While I'm sorry you take offense to my slapping two words together for a screename, I have a distaste for jokes made about the (US) military as I do currently serve, and have lost friends in this war that I do not agree with.
Just asking for people to show a little respect for those that died for your freedom.
That's the difference between wanting to belong to a progression guild or not.
From Vanilla until WotLK I was in a top progression guild on my server. That WAS fun. Until we cleared everything (easily, mind you, not just the "yay first kill"). Then it was a repetitive grind to collect BIS items while waiting on new content or farming up gear for people's alts. At least with leveling I get to experience the differences of each class once through the whole process, so it feels like a (fairly) new adventure each time.
What do you mean slightly? You can purchase tier 9 items for every slot of your character with badges.
Even though you can get badges, you still have to grind the same dungeons to get enough badges for all your gear. I think he is looking for a situation where you are able to get all your gear without having to duplicate runs on instances.
Correct. I like to experience content, and certainly more than "once only" as you won't absorb every minute detail of a dungeon in one run, but after 10 or 15 times of successfully clearing the entire place with no effort the repetition is quite old.
I've actually got 4 characters at 80, another at 73, and the next runner up at about 66. Leveling is what I enjoy.
The end game gear grind, however, is not fun. Don't get me wrong -- I love to experience new content, I don't, however, like to keep re-experiencing it at the mercy of the RNG hoping I get the item(s) I need. Yes, badges mitigate this, slightly, but in the end you're still grinding the same one or two instances until a new one gets released.
My Pixma MP600 not only let me bypass the fact it was "out of ink" (hah! still printing), but still performs all other functions normally. Not to mention it's still using the original ink cartridges almost two years later, after light use.
Skyfex.com -- free to sign up as an "Expert" then have your family log in as a "Client" and send you the code. The only downfall is it only runs in IE using ActiveX the last time I looked into using it.
I like others, also love the UI. It took some getting used to over Firefox, but I do like the clean look of being able to focus on actual content -- not the browser itself. As to Adblock, yeah, wow, there are a lot of ads out there I didn't even know existed! Using OpenDNS I manage to block most of them just by domain through their blacklist service, though. It's not perfect, but better than nothing for now!
I'd also love to hear more about the specifics of this. It's something I've dreamed of, but never given a real hard look at. Though, with changing jobs and moving coming up in about 9 months, this may be a good venue for me:)
I know Vista hate is pretty rampant here, but as numerous others have pointed out -- how is this news? I, like others, run Linux on my older, slower hardware that doesn't or barely meets Windows minimum requirements (any Windows, 9x, XP, etc) already. So, how is it news that Linux boots/runs faster on the same hardware when it already does that on outdated hardware?
Nothing to see here, please move along. Premium services have been about the only viable source of Usenet for awhile now, even just for the text completion and retention. As long as they have a market of people willing to pay (including me) for that access, nothing is set to die any time soon.
Who would want to try and P2P anything over 3G, anyhow? I regularly end up using my cell as a tethered modem for EDGE when I have no other service available, and even if I had 3G, I don't see any situation where I'd be forced to rely on my cell for internet that I would just absolutely have to get on some P2P network. I'd rather just surf and check email with a connection less than DSL/Cable.
Thanks, learn something new (and useful) daily! I use OpenDNS currently, but wow, response times alone are amazing! = 10ms to the 4.* servers and ~100 to OpenDNS. I might still stick with OpenDNS for now since I use some of their features, but this is certainly food for thought and a useful tool when I get stuck without DNS during some of my travels -- very easy to remember IPs:)
So while this may be fun and neat for content providers or data centers: what incentive does the user have to participate?

Perhaps I'm daft, but where in that Wikipedia article does it state 110km (or any length, for that matter)?

You don't even need to run POP to do this; just use the gears widget for offline access.
