I once asked the director of verizon's human resources department (he was visiting my college) if he was more likely to hire someone over other potential employees based on what college they went to or even if they had a degree. His answer was "I don't care if you have a degree or not, just as long as you can get the job done."
HardOCP has a few pics of the console on their site. if you look at this pic near the center inside the console you can spy a DVI connector. Looks like they just ran off some of the S-video and other connectors from that card.
It has always been our college's policy to disallow wireless networks and personal routers to be attached to our network. You can have such devices as long as they are not linked to our network in some fashion.
OK, I thought respectable compaines like MS, Sony, and Adobe checked into patents and stuff like this and there was less chance they could be used without liscensing. Linux is being blasted by SCO and MS all the time on this issue. Yet, here we see infringing patent use in commercial products. Hmm...
I looks like they loose on that arguement!

I'm a young ham and its crap like this that keeps us out. Because you are too stubborn and DON'T want NEW uses for ham radio. Let it die then I say. Then when the FCC takes away your frequencies so someone can check their Email from their blackberry device I don't want to hear you bitching!
How about this... Phone lines are used for talking with voice! Why the hell would we ever want fax machines?! Theres another well setup infrastructure for sending documents, its called THE POSTAL SERVICE! Or why would we want to use a modem over the phone line to watch video? We have TVs, can't you be happy?!
I doubt Alexander Bell ever INTENDED the telephone system to be used for this purpose.
So lets spread out guys! Use ham radio for new things or we're gonna die! Fortune favors the bold and I for one don't mind bending the rules or going in grey areas. If I get in trouble, so be it. But, I'll at least have tried soemthing new. Maybe it will catch on and breath new life into this old horse.

Turn off the power saving options for the wifi card. do not allow windows to put the device in sleep mode and use the least power friendly option avalible for the card. these have to be changed in the driver prefs under the hardware management. i was getting the exact same problem even when sitting >10ft from the ap. when i turned off all the power save features for the card these problems went away.
Ive been using google's toolbar. it does occasionally miss some popups, but i noticed a site that put a window look-alike in the middle of the page i was trying to veiw.
We're talking about signal loss. Every 3db your signal doubles (or halves if you're talking about loss). If your losing 3db of signal information that means you're only using half of the theoretical bandwidth avalible in a frequency. Which means you can only have half the theoretical amount of people using the same cell phone frequency. Therefore, as you use better encoding algos to lessen the loss in db you can cram more people into the same frequency and get a better density ratio for your signals. So 1db less loss is significant.
Put another way, the switchover will result in roughly 5,000 addresses for every square micrometer of the Earth's surface. There are so many IPv6 addresses that humanity will never run out of them--never, ever.
HAHAHAHA! Thank god for IPv16. We have enough IPs to assign 16 billion IPs to every cubic picometer of the plant. humanity will never run out of them--never, ever.

it only cost them a dollar. I log into the email server. I check that the virus definitions are up to date. I leave. Took only a few minutes.
Why such a low cost? Because they let me build the Email server the way I wanted to. THE RIGHT WAY!
