Well, I live in an apartment building. We could get basic cable in our apartments for $30 a month. I paid for that and extra for a connection, and I was pretty happy. Until Comcast re-negotiation time came around and they really jacked up the group price. So the landlord told them to get stuffed. So, what's my current broadband options? AT&T DSL or Xandoo wireless. AT&T is slow and the mandatory gateway sucks. Xanadoo? Slow, dodgy, and capped WAY low with no reliable way to monitor usage. So many options I have for ISPs....
Well, none of those are "necessary add-ons". Java necessary? Since when? Who the hell even uses java applets anymore? Silverlight? Who ever used that? Office? Seriously? Flash, ok, there's a metric fuck load of flash out there.
Educator that do online courses, and have to have Java for class chats to work?
Just got the Linux email a couple of hours ago. Seeing as I have been using it since the preEbay days, you'd think they MIGHT have gotten in touch sooner.
Well then, I will have to look at moving that project up my priority list. I will miss the N connectivity, but oh well. I have a lovely little B/G Buffalo with Tomato/Shibby on it in the closet...
Funny. I used it a LOT and never saw an email. Also, they just did the same with the Windows version too. I fired it up while I was reading this just to see "You have been logged out...." and had to manually update the client (seriously? They couldn't just use the built-in update tool?)
One of these days I plan on doing such. I have just put it off as
A] I have a VoIP line and I am not sure how that will work.
B] The NVG510 often has issues reconnecting with home base after connection/power failures and I need to make sure of how to talk to it (for diagnostics) if that happens.
C] I am sure Mr. Murphy will show his face, and I can't live without my connection for a couple days if things go sideways.
(You know, I can deal with beta, I just wish we didn't have to handcode for line/paragraph breaks.)
Oh, trust you me, I have already rooted it. Of course, the UPnP only semi-works and the device list won't clear inactive devices, so I am running low on IPv4 addys on my LAN (lots of visitors with lappies and lappies I have worked on for people). I am just hoping that hack stays stable. I also wish someone would provide a copy of the NVG510 control app for something other than Android.
Well, having had a friend that had gear confiscated due to false accusations of child pornography (his previous housemate was going through a really rough breakup). He finally got the gear back months later (after having at least three different parties analyze it, all unsuccesful) and it never worked quite right after, so he ended up having to replace it.
Yup. They sent the Technicolor box to my parents and said effectively "You have to use this. No options." So I went over and had to reconfigure everything from scratch. As a double plus, the range seems to suck compared to the old Netgear N router I had them using previously.

It was Apple, BTW. They loved how it was integrated into the OS.
And, IMO, Kari has winsome in spades. And hearts. Clubs too. Oh, and diamonds.
Who apparently is both friendly and warmer than MY ex-wife.

With a secure browser? (Or just keep my general generic install package installer on a stick.)
On a secure machine?
Netflix app is better than the browser interface.
Of course, in my case, the browser interface lets me log on without crashing, so there's that.
for downloading firefox on a new windows install
That is why I skip that and use Ninite.
The family wasn't ready to deal with that sort of thing. It was all "Hook it up like Comcast says, then make our network work." Joy.
Yo, cat. I heard you like cat pic blogging while you cat pic blog, so we...
I tend to roll with x@x.com. Less typing FTW!
No. Other than porn searches it is just about useless.
I wish I had some nifty browser plugin or bookmarklet or easy hack to quickly show me who is running IPv6. I, myself, am fully capable.

Look, after my experiences with the NVG510 (yes, DSL I know, not cable), I will never say greatest in conjunction with Motorola again.

Oh, so you have a Motorola NVG510 too then?
Man, I love me some Wayback Machine. If I was a 1% type, I would say "Here. Have a lot of money. You're welcome."
