  1. Re:So what this really means... on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. The MIT Open Courseware videos are hosted through Youtube. And there are some pretty good educational videos on there like the ones put together by Vsauce, SmarterEveryDay, Veritasium, and The Slow Mo Guys. I bet the majority of views on Youtube are for cat videos, but not all the videos are utter brain candy.

  2. I have one of the supported Asus with AC onboard. So far I've not felt the need to switch to Tomato although I've used it previously on a WRT54G. So far the features I've found have worked fine and the router hasn't disappointed. Can you tell me what new or different features you found in Tomato to warrant switching? I've already got a VPN solution, I don't need a NAS, this isn't a primary firewall for my network nor do I need to use any sort of dynamic DNS from it. Mostly so far it's just an AP, albeit one I hope is stronger than the WEP I was having to use on the WRT :-O

    I would say based on what you said, there is no need to upgrade to Tomato. I use it to host a free wireless internet AP that is separate from my LAN, an SSH tunnel for some unfiltered internet for my work, a remote computer starter when I need to remote in on vacation or otherwise. I've also become accustomed to its interface so that when I switched from a WRT54GL to the RT-N66U, I instantly loaded Tomato just so I didn't lose familiarity.

  3. I use a build of Tomato by Shibby on my Asus "Black Knight" RT-N66U . It has tons of features and is easy to setup. You could also try some of the other Tomato builds.

  4. Monopoly on Doctorow: Rivalry Keeps Google From Doing Evil · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So, they are acting like any other company when faced with the same market situation?

  5. Re:It's been dropping for a long time on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 2

    These might be from 1869, as that is what is printed in the lower left corner of the papers. The stamp may be from when they entered it into the library archives.

  6. Admiral Ackbar on Hurricane Could Make a Mess of Republican Convention · · Score: 1

    A Category 2 hurricane could disrupt convention activities because the Tampa Bay Times Forum, site of the festivities, is within a mandatory evacuation zone for storms of that magnitude.

    In other words: "This city cannot withstand a hurricane of that magnitude!"

  7. Re:Good. on NY District Judge Dismisses Blogger Suit Against Huffington Post · · Score: 1

    BTW, thank you for that great link (Ninite [ninite.com]). That's going to save me tons of time when I do another clean install.

  8. Re:Energy Depleted on Comet Lovejoy Plunges Into the Sun and Survives · · Score: 2

    It could also be a reference to Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama.

    So, what do you think is broken about TV right now?

  11. Re:Anecdotal Evidence on IT Night Shift Workers: Fat and Undersexed · · Score: 1

    Of course, I'm changing industries from Network Administration to Lab Science, should finish my coursework in about 2 more years, so I'll never have to worry about it again.

    Interesting, I'm doing the almost exact opposite. I'm going from chemistry labs to a cube farm and I, too, have 2 more years of coursework before I do that.

  12. Unusual on New Bacterium Lives On Caffeine · · Score: 1

    I attend the University of Iowa and I'm surprised it's living off of caffeine in a flower bed. I would've thought it would have either been alcohol or alcohol-infused vomit. Although, those caffeine-infused beers are quite popular around here.

  13. Re:Sony Hack on Mainstream Media Looks At Anonymous · · Score: 1

    If you have seen the Anime Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, that description is almost a word-for-word description of the Laughing Man. An interesting show, that. Delves into the subject of a cyber identity. Plus, like any other Anime, it has a lead woman in a tight outfit.

  14. Highlander on The Canadian Who Holds the Key To the Internet · · Score: 1

    I foresee going badly as each card holder systematically tries to kill the other 6. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

  15. Close one on The Titanic In 3-D · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A scientific expedition to the Titanic will create a detailed three-dimensional map of the world's most famous shipwreck.

    Oh, thank God. From the title I thought Hollywood was re-releasing Titanic in 3-D. Although the guy hitting the propeller would be pretty cool in 3-D.

  20. Re:Carbon Footprint? on How Sperm Whales Offset Their Carbon Footprint · · Score: 1

    Sperm whales have a carbon footprint? What? From the Hummers they're driving, or all the coal-burning power plants they've built? I know this is Idle on Slashdot, but man, that is the dumbest headline I've seen in a whale.

    Fixed that for you.
