I can't recommend ubiquiti's unifi line enough. Not only are they super simple to install and maintain, but they detect each other and automatically adjust their own power settings. They are affordable and reliable. We have a lot of them in our warehouses. They do exactly what you want.
I cannot get very far in the download with my WAP browser on my blackberry 7510 before it says download failed. On a side note, I have been trying to download and install 1.2 for a few days now, but I keep getting a java out of memory error on installation. I guess they did not QA for all platforms.

Of course, maybe my definition of small business is different than the posters.
I also believe that EA did away with bullfrog. If you go to bullfrog.com it forwards to europe.ea.com which isnt resolved. I guess the whole franchise is long forgotten. On a positive note, it may still ship before duke nukem forever.
NEC's new development realizes a small, slim HD DVD drive, which can read and write 3-generations of optical discs, HD DVDs, DVDs and CDs, with a single optical head.
I think its great that we may get a writer at release without having to wait 6 months to a year for that technology.
I live near the IBM PC Division Headquarters (RTP North Carolina). On the news the General Manager of that division (Fran Somebody) said that since there was very little overlap between the two companies that most of the current employees will remain on. She went on to say that her and her entire management team would remain. Hopefully this bodes well for the quality.. at least in the short term until its decided where money could be saved at. I would suspect that eventually those jobs would be moved overseas where the labor is cheaper. The lady also said that the deal wouldnt be final until 2Q 2005.
In my state, and I suspect most others, the rate you want to make per hour should be increased by a third to take into account the taxes you will have to pay. Be aware that not only will you have to pay all the taxes that were taken out of your check, you will also be responsible for the matching your employer was paying. Do not forget general liability insurance as well as unemployment, etc etc. Although you might want to receive $20 per hour in pocket take home, you will need to bill around $50 per hour just to cover all your expenses. Maybe even more.
Be smart and incorporate. This protects your personal assets to a higher degree and makes things a lot easier. You will need an accountant to help you out. Although lots of people will say you can do it yourself, my accountant saves me far more through his knowledge of the system than I could ever save not paying him.
And finally, the benefit. Every cost you incur in your business is pretax deductible. Every cost you incur as an individual is after tax. This makes it very smart to be in your own business just for the tax savings of things you would buy anyhow.
Although I mostly receive cash in return for computer repairs (since I own a computer store), This week I traded spyware/virus/cable modem issues + free router for labor to fix my air conditioner in my work car (1996 volvo 240 station wagon, viva la brick!). I provided the parts and he provided the freon and some other little things and whatnot. It worked out really nicely.
I currently run my business with my cell phone. What I did was contact my local land line phone provider (sprint) and asked for a business forwarding number. It is about $12 a month, gets you a listing in the white pages and most importantly, gets you a listing in the yellow pages under the heading of your choice. They then give you a unique local number and that number just forwards calls to whatever number you tell them. In my case, it was my cell phone. You give people your local number number and magically your cell phone always rings. I have not once ever gotten a long distance bill, even if the people who called me were far away, not so far away, or just in the extended local long area. Seems to be quite a good deal.
375Kb/s * 1.024 (because we all know 1k isnt 1000) = 384,000b/s. Now, 384000 * 8 (8 bits to the byte) = 3072000 bits. This is roughly equivalent to a 3mbit line. When you factor in overhead, a 3mbit line would get about 360Kb/s.
I once had a flaky motherboard back about 5 years ago. I had random computer lockups in windows(98) like you wouldnt believe. I was dual booting linux. Linux never once locked up on me ever. When i switched motherboards, my windows problem went away. Now you tell me, who has better code and working with errors returned from faulty hardware.
I know im gonna get marked troll, but I really would like the option of having the gimp ui as one cohesive window with moveable panels instead of 50 windows I cannot keep track of. I think there's a reason why there arent any other applications I can think of that use that layout anymore. They have all switched the the single window approach. It may not be as powerful or whatever, but it sure is easier for some of us folk. And no, I dont know enough to submit a patch and yes, I realize that the software is free.
16 comments and slashdotted already. There doesnt appear to be a google cache either. I guess I must make the obligatory comment about them running their server on one of these pens.
I really enjoy being able to power most of my devices over USB and not having to have an extra plug and/or wallwart to deal with. I for one would much rather keep wired usb and forgo the power adapter, than wireless usb and have to deal with yet another plug to have to find power for. I know most of you probably are already running fire hazards as it is now.
You are right, I pay almost $20 a month in taxes and fees on my phone bill. In fact, I pay as much in taxes and fees as I do for the phone line itself. To make matters worse, you cannot get out of paying these fees. No amount of complaining and arguing will do any good. So the dilemma is, do I use cell phones only and pay the cable man for crap I dont want so I can have cable internet, or do I pay the phone man for crap I dont want so I can have DSL. Either way, Im screwed out of my hard earned money.
I dont mind people holding normal voice conversations on their phone. I do however mind people who have those walkie talkie phones with the volume turned wide open carrying on conversations in a public place. To me, that is extremely rude.
I hardly consider GTK+ + MySQL to even be in the same league as Access when it comes to ease of use and interface design. Sure, Access isnt that great of a program, but it is extremely easy to create a simple database+frontend in. Another nonfree alternative is Filemaker Pro. This is a very nice application.
I evaluated a white cube for a customer of mine within the past 2 weeks. I ended up going with a black one simply because other than the apple monitors, I cannot find any white (not beige) matching lcd's.
Recently Linus has shown his dislike for the scsi emulator for ide devices. He went on to say that there werent any common devices that needed the scsi layer. One such device are zip drives. I use a Zip 750 in my server to backup a small but important set of data. The only way this drive will work is with the scsi emulated layer. Has this been fixed in the 2.6 kernel series (it wasnt fixed in 2.6 pre4), or does someone have another way to use this device without scsi?
Most cellular phones have the ability to have GPS on constantly, or only to turn on when you dial 911. This way you dont have to sacrifice your privacy and can feel a bit safer if you need to be.

I have tried to find out if clamav will detect this virus with no positive results. Does anyone know the status?

It looks like you are going to be waiting a while. "Dungeon Keeper 3 Cancelled. A Bullfrog site update states that development has ceased on the strategy series' follow up".
I also believe that EA did away with bullfrog. If you go to bullfrog.com it forwards to europe.ea.com which isnt resolved. I guess the whole franchise is long forgotten. On a positive note, it may still ship before duke nukem forever.

Yea well, I guess the implemented that feature since I tried it out sometime back ... make that way back.

did you send the sectors to time out?
