I never have reboots on my older Linksys WRT54G, v.3 and v.4. I have seem them overheat and lockup, especially when overclocking. I have fixed all sorts of different routers with intermittent lockup problems, by giving them a little air. e.g. Making sure that hot little switch isn't stacked on top of the router. I took the plastic off mine and screwed it to the wall. Some people put fans on their router's or switch's case or cpu.
With the DD-WRT Linux firmware you can add quality of service so that random bittorrent users don't affect your video game or browsing speed.
My very stable configuration:
Router: Linksys WRTG54G
CPU Model: Broadcom BCM5352 chip rev 0
CPU Clock: 216 MHz (Overclocked from 200Mhz)
Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (stable)
Maximum ports: 2048 (default 512)
TCP Timeout: 300s (default 3600s)
UDP Timeout: 300s
QOS Settings:
-bittorent = bulk
-http = exempt
-Game and chat program ports = exempt
Arrogant much?

Is this a fact? Since you can't re-write history, it is your opinion. Then why do you spout off opinion like it's fact?
Who modded this insightful? This is an example of the way the blogger generation talks/thinks nowadays. In my opinion, the parent post is either complete sarcasm, (in which case, kudos to the author, your dry sense of humor should be praised) or the poster has the mind of a teenager.
I choose the former. You're right! RMS needs to look at reality and thank Microsoft for being so crappy. Without their craptitude, BSD would never have become Linux.
Why was this modded insightful?
The fact is that it's perfectly correct to use the Earth as your reference point, so saying that the Earth is still and the Sun moves around it is perfectly correct.
I'm always amazed by how many people (teachers included) fail to understand that.
Be amazed no longer, because it's not perfectly correct to use the earth as the reference point for the center of the solar system. Since the Sun moves at near constant velocity in relation to the galactic center, your model would require that the earth speeds up and slows down as it orbits the galactic center.
I don't think the idea of "relativity" was intended as an argument for the geocentric theory. Newton's theories cover stuff like that, and they show that the mass off the Earth has little effect on the Sun's trajectory.
I've thought about it some more and decided that the term column-major or row-major is only applicable when making a visual representation of on array/matrix. Otherwise, labeling a 2 x 6 or [2,6] array in such a way is just a construct of the human mind. Whether the "array" is two rows or two columns is irrevelent.
Wikipedia be damned.
In order to combat the criminalization of fair-use we should make a system for mass-civil-disobedience.
One possible solution would be for Wikileaks, or the EFF to post a bit of HTML on their site that allows other website operators to embed a portion of "critical" information on their sites. This could be a piece of copy-righted work, or a leak, or... anyone else care to add to this idea?
Oh, I see that maybe Wurp wasn't suggesting that Monty's choice doesn't matter. He was replying to another poster who mentioned a 1/2 probability. I guess my comment threshold didn't allow me to see that post... (I'm new)
But, my point still stands. This only works if Monty is required to reveal a choice every time, which apparently he is not. So, I suggest that the name of this dilemma should be changed.
Wurp is claiming it doesn't matter if Monty must open a door every time.
This is wrong, and the fact that he must open the door every time is what makes the Monty Hall Problem a non-intuitive curiosity.
Most people will intuitively assume that choosing between the remaining two doors is a 50-50 chance and therefore switching does not matter.
But that is beside the point.
The point is, that if Monty doesn't have to open a door every time, then he can just show a door when you choose correctly the first time. Then your chances of choosing correctly are not 2/3 but are 0.
Now, you may counter by saying that, "then everyone will know they chose correctly and will stick with their choice." But that is missing my point still.
If Monty doesn't have to open the door every time, he can still open the door with some small majority of the time being when you choose correctly the first time, thus deviating from your absolute probabilities of 1/3 and 2/3.

Or choose all three!

SOunds like a typical ad to me.

So what does it use? Column-major, like C?
