Spend the extra $$$ and get the external Cisco router.
Agreed. The Cisco 675 is really slick little piece of hardware...
I was pleasantly surprised when I got mine and found that it had NAT built in.
Ya just plug it into your hub, and all the boxes have access.
It even takes care of DHCP for all the machines on the LAN.
It's virtually transparent, too, no real problems with any net protocols, even games work great without tweaking.
A CODEC is just a tool.
So what if it can be used to illegally distribute video?
I can just as easily use it to compress and distribute content *I* created.
If I smack a trick with my crowbar because he beat up
one of my ho's, did the crowbar manufacturer assualt the trick? No. I did.
Likewise, if Bobby W4r3z D00d rips his parent's DVDs,
and uses DivX to encode them, did the DivX people violate copyright? No. Bobby did.

Q: Is my:CueCat(TM) reader water-resistant?
A: No. Your:CueCat(TM) reader is not water-resistant.
I have to wonder...what the hell are people trying to do with these things?!
The things I really hate about Wince are how fast they go obsolete, and lack of compatibility between units.
I have an old 1st generation wince device, and it went obsolete like 4 months after I got it. A coworker bought a Cassiopeia a few months ago and within two months MS had released a new, incompatible OS...
The device incompatibility is pretty impressive too, since wince devices can be based on a number of processors.
What? There's no version of "JoeBob's Pr0n Viewer CE 3.14" for your MIPS wince2 device? Sorry!
True, the wince hardware is far more advanced than Palm, but IMHO, the overall usability sucks. Palm is so much more elegant.
(And the Palm dev kit is free, which beats the hell out of ~$600 for Visual Studio and the Wince dev kit...)
It's kinda the same thing. I don't own the software on the the CC's microcontroller, but I do own the hardware (I have a reciept), so I can, say, take it apart, or analyze it's output, without ever caring about the software burned into it's ROM.
Of course, assuming I *did* want to read the uC's ROM, I prolly wouldn't be able to. Many microcontrollers are read-protected so people can't look at the ROM.
Also, Apple will release the developer tools to all online ADC members (free registration) in mid-October.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any free registration. Or is it only free if you've already paid the 'only' $400 developer tax?
If that's the case, then I must say a $400 fee is NOT the way to get new developers.
I'm considering developing on OSX, but not if it costs $400 for some GNU based tools.
That's almost as expensive as Visual Studio...
No, I think what he's saying is that a lot of the music sounds like crap now.
There is good 'current' music, but either they don't play it on the radio at all, or it gets played very rarely.

if your karma actually is changing this much, that's even funnier, as they apparently _can_ be bothered to fiddle with the back end, when I'm sure a simple request to not sell would have sufficed. (?)

I've had a 256k line through USWest (now Qwest)
for about a year and 9 months, and I've been
pretty pleased.
The speed is pretty reliable, but doesn't go over
35kbyte/sec as often as it used to. (When I first
got the line 60-70k was fairly regular...)
There's been some downtime, but it's usually only
an hour or so, and pretty rare...I'd say all in
all about two days downtime total in a year.
My only complaint is that you have to go to 'business service' (50-75% more expensive, same speed) to get a static IP.
All in all, tho, I've found it to be pretty nice. Sure beats the hell out of a modem.
