I've currently set up a network in my neighbourhood with 4 other houses, distances of about 50-100m (I'm only capable of using the metric system), with walls and such, and have succeeded quite easily using WRT54G's in every apartment, using a custom firmware (sveasoft) with both WDS capability, and ability to alter the transmission power (I have doubled it to about 50mw), and this works like a charm with speeds varying from 1 - 2Mbs. The whole thing is rather cheap (~70$ for each WRT54G) and works like a charm for 8 months now, and with WDS you can build a grid of access points...
Excuse me, but I really can't understand the phrase: "Unfortunately, Mono was too much with its multiple licenses."
Anybody read this? http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Licensing
Uses 3 common licences from the GNU/Linux world, GPL, LGPL and MIT/X11. Don't you use X? Don't you use the linux kernel? Does the licensing trouble you?
I really didn't understand this, Mono is one of the clearest (and most convienient) in licensing terms....
How easy would it be for implementing the same behaviour to a browser? Instead of an automated reply from Verisign, I'd love this to be an option (ie. I would be able to turn this off, or even change providers, not like IE's MSN search). Maybe an automated google search or something. The possibilities are endless. And the choice goes to the consumer.

How come whenever I read "be assured" from a PR of some companies, I start worrying more? Is it just me?
If you actually read the link in the story, you will see that it prevents you from using it if you are developping (or aiding development) of an alternative.
This actually means that if I am both a subversion hacker and a kernel hacker, I can't use BitKeeper anymore for my kernel hacking....
Anything good (or sane) about that?
And by the way, the GPL clearly gives the right to microsoft to use linux, even modify it, if they aren't distributing it... I think most conscious kernel hackers already know that.
So that really makes them the bad guys (I didn't see any anti-Microsoft clause in the GPL)
I would surely hope that ATI comes up with the next generation of the AIW series powered with this chip. Let's hope though that they make a product that includes ALL the features of all their products (no AIW model has dual screen output, some have firewire ports while others don't etc...)
Just imagine an AIW powered by the RADEON 9700, with dual screen output, perfect (preferably hardware deinterlaced) TV picture, FireWire connectors and all the stuff that would make us happy geeks.
Seems the AIW product is the best in getting the Video Cards (GPUs, your-preferred-abbreviation-here...) to the next level....
Anyway, as a simpler solution I could provide the following:
the numerator is 6...6664 where we have x sixes can be written as: 6*Sum(10^n) + 4 where n ranges from 1 to x equally we could write: 60*Sum(10^n) + 4 where n now ranges from 0 to x-1
We will call the last sum "A" as we know (simple math, geometric progression) A=(10^x-1)/(10-1)=(10^x-1)*9
so, the numerator is: (20/3)*(10^x-1) + 4 = = (20/3)*10^x - (8/3) = 4*((5/3)*10^x-(2/3)) The denominator now is: 10^x + 6*Sum(10^n) where n ranges from 0 to x-1 Using the same plain method, the denominator becomes: 10^x + (2/3)*(10^x-1) = (5/3)*10^x-(2/3) so, as you see: nominator / denominator = 4
Easy huh? (this is a simple solution which will probably clear some fuss)
I don't really think that emulation is 100% what they mean. Like a previous post that stated something about Sierra and its' interpreter style approach, most likely they'll develop and use something like Java (or our most recent example, Internet C++;). Surely a write-once solution...
In the concerns about the speed of the resulting product, I'd like to point out that not many times has Capcom made a game that needs a hefty hardware configuration (eg. SF Alpha 3 in playstation that used to run on a 68000 CPS 2 board). They are mostly concerned about gameplay, and availability, and I think we must recognize this one to them... A much better approach than the one we are used to (just take a look at nocturne, and you'll see what I mean)...
We all see how many watts those processors are supposed to consume. But I can't understand why nobody has ever given us real numbers. Let me make myself more clear.
The question for the average user, is HOW many hours your notebook can be actively used (meaning that you actually do something that might be battery consuming, unlike manufactorers' usual numbers which tend to be 3 times more).
I'd really applaude someone finally explaining what good is any power saving schema, and if it can do something more than a 10% better amount of time online.
Just my 2 cents here

I've actually seen one working on a web interface, works great, can host multiple viewers.
Check them out here.
They're not so expensive, though don't expect to pay like $20 and get one.

Ever seen what they charge for their sync cable? Surely they'll miss their 30$ and 40$ if you can get a plain old usb cable for 1$....

MP3ers, time to start dishin off your collection and try buying music!
Hint: A CD with 15 tracks = 15$! Shouldn't this be CHEAPER than the real CDs? It is worse on quality, no artwork etc etc etc...

Anyway, as a simpler solution I could provide the following:
the numerator is 6...6664 where we have x sixes can be written as:
6*Sum(10^n) + 4 where n ranges from 1 to x
equally we could write:
60*Sum(10^n) + 4 where n now ranges from 0 to x-1
We will call the last sum "A"
as we know (simple math, geometric progression)
A=(10^x-1)/(10-1)=(10^x-1)*9
so, the numerator is: (20/3)*(10^x-1) + 4 =
= (20/3)*10^x - (8/3) = 4*((5/3)*10^x-(2/3))
The denominator now is:
10^x + 6*Sum(10^n) where n ranges from 0 to x-1
Using the same plain method, the denominator becomes:
10^x + (2/3)*(10^x-1) = (5/3)*10^x-(2/3)
so, as you see:
nominator / denominator = 4
