mikrotik are a bunch of latvian asshats. Their software has lots of features that are half implemented and partially tested. I'd wager they are GPL violators as well. The mikrotik routerboards are pretty solid though. can't say the same for their wireless cards, get ubiquity wireless cards.
That being said mikrotik routerboards hit the price point. That being said I can't wait for ubiquity products on OpenWRT (I think airos is based on openwrt?) to overtake them for usable features.
If linux can do it, so can all these devices that run linux.
I have a blackberry flip that does UMA. I've found the call quality to be bad over my time warner cable connection, which is generally good.
why use UMA over 802.11 for.10 a minute when you can use GSM for.10 a minute?
The UMA calls should be free or really cheap since you are not using their network or are likely in a place where they don't even have coverage!
It is funny that they charge you 10 cents a minute when you are effectively providing your own network. You could just as easily be using skype at that point.
i have t-mobile pre-paid. if you do $100 refills the minutes don't expire for a year and you get 1000 minutes for your $100. texts are 10c I think.
The 7-eleven speakout was the only sim card I could find in canada that didn't expire your unused minutes every 30 days or require you to add more minutes every month.
I googled for ISPs in sandy, utah and found the regular players offering 3mbs...
How is the average 33 megabits? Where are all these people getting > 33mbit service? Verizon didn't seem to offer fios with the addresses in sandy utah i plugged in.
if you really need to host it yourself, or locally then yes, but they provide hosted service free which i've experienced maybe 2 failed requests with ever.
AND you can get a database dump of all your data right from the interface so you don't have to worry about being locked in!
I've been using it for a couple of years and it is great. I can generate invoices for clients with it and keep track of all the different tasks that make up my projects.
I don't really use the gantt features.
The hosted version at www.clockingit.com hasn't really changed recently (which isn't a bad thing). There is a development version at git hub

if sun paid 1 billion for mysql and oracle paid 7 billion for sun, it is 1/7th of the deal right?
If 1/7th of the deal is holding up the rest of it, they'll do whatever they can to get the other 6/7ths through, including dumping money into an open source project.
They didn't really buy Sun for Mysql right, solaris, java, the sun servers and processors have got to have had way more appeal for Oracle, which already has the best database, than an already GPL'd project.
If they wanted to start an oracle version of mysql and lavish money upon it, they could have done that without buying sun!
perl and nice don't belong together, especially if you bring CPAN into the sentence.
When I have some retarded task that has to be done, like taking a web form and inserting the data into a PDF that has to be emailed to a few different people, or retrieving some data via FTP, verifying that it is valid and then updating some excel worksheets and emailing the new plots around as in-line images in an html formatted email, PERL can do it.
maybe PHP, ruby and python can talk to open office, ms office, do SMTP with TLS or SSL, and insert data into a PDF too. I wouldn't know because once I started with perl I never needed anything else for glue type programs.
the chrome-unstable seems to update every 2 weeks or so whereas the only chromium releases I have found are the nightlies from the PPA.
about 1/5 of the chrome-unstable releases have an annoying bug (selects don't show options, form auto-complete box renders but doesn't show options, random crash, etc) and if I get hit with one of those I normally switch to a chromium nightly until chrome-unstable updates.
Actually those "Ext4" data corruption issues that set the Internet all ablaze (including Slashdot) were mainly due to KDE 4 not handling metadata correctly. In the end, it wasn't an Ext4 issue. However, feel free to spread FUD.
i for one welcome our new bug infested flash and hope some horrible flash object is uploaded rampantly all over the web. If horrible flash object is bad enough all users will have to uninstall flash./dreams on
I think the reason that HTTP/HTML has become so popular for anything not graphics intensive (like image, video editing, cad, etc) is that nobody wants to support users on microsoft windows. there is too much other shit that can go wrong that you end up picking up the phone for. Whereas if your app is web based, they try another computer and realize their one is borked.

wierd, don't community versions normally lead rather than lag? and the community tests and gets out all the bugs for the big paying customers?
'when you are out of GSM coverage' would have done it

i bet it takes a lot longer than a week to get a 30-60 MVA transformer delivered and installed. oil/explosion clean up would take a week!
i find chrome's developer tools adequate. I don't do any layout though

who cares!

was slashdot the first web2.0 site!
Was Mysql even a factor in them purcashing sun?
if sun paid 1 billion for mysql and oracle paid 7 billion for sun, it is 1/7th of the deal right?

If they wanted to start an oracle version of mysql and lavish money upon it, they could have done that without buying sun!
They pledge to spend upwards of 24 million a year on developing and improving mysql for the next three years.
What fork is going to be able to out pace the oracle version with all that money, which ought to mean developer hours, lavished upon it?
The press release says they will continue releasing GPL community editions in lockstep with enterprise editions.
Fork it when they stop pouring money and developer hours from the best database company out there into the project.
MySQL might get better under oracle, and if it doesn't all, pick and choose from the GPL codebase, right?
it seems that most of the posts I see from people with low UID these days are mostly about how low their UID is.
hilarious
yes, ubuntu 8.04 but only using POP not imap and not with exchange. Maybe that is the difference.
TB2 never crashed on me. not once. I've got 10 account, gigs of mail, calender extension being populated from web services and lots of rules.
What were you doing to make it crash all the time!

Maybe glue is perl's niche?
these guys seem to be on top of it and have their database finished.

Really?
Looks like there was a real problem with ext4 that had nothing to do with KDE.
