We need a little more information than just "Buffalo router". If the router doesn't have firmware upgrade page, there's typically some recovery method involving TFTP that allows you to flash a new firmware image.
I always look at DD-WRT vs OpenWRT like this: DD-WRT is like an improved stock firmware. Sure, it has lots of features that probably aren't available in the preload, but it still just feels like a manufacturer firmware. OpenWRT, on the other hand, lets you go 100% CLI (it didn't even come with a web interface until a few releases ago). In general, if you could do it with a plain old linux box, you can do it just as easily on OpenWRT.
For example: I look in/etc/config. In OpenWRT I see human readable, easy to edit config files. In DD-WRT, I see obfuscated things.
I disagree. Republicans would generally support this, since it helps corporations and punishes the low to middle classes while benefitting the upper class. Plus, the media benefits from stronger copyright laws.
1. Use some search filters to find all those emails about friend requests
2. Make a script that pulls the name of the person from the emails
3. Compare to current friends list
Except that taking inventory takes a while whereas your friends like can be copied and pasted or even monitored by a script. The point is that that information was already available to you if you kept track of your friends list.
1) Hit F3 to launch the search dialog (no need to specify directory, as that comes from the folder you are currently in)
2) Type search pattern (limit by date, filesize, filecontent if you like)
3) Start search
4) Observe the results and do something with them (delete, copy, etc.)
It's exactly the same in 7. Press F3 to focus the search box, type a search term, press enter, do something with the results. In fact, you can even just hit winkey and start typing a search, which doubles as a run prompt (try typing "ping -t 4.2.2.2" or "compmgmt.msc" into the start menu search box).
Exactly. I'm not a UK law expert, but if he said offensive things to the person's face, what would the punishment be? I'm tired of punishments being much worse due to the fact that a computer was involved.
Also, they need to learn a bit more about the internet. I didn't RTFA, but it appears that the memorial page had an open comment section and they expected it to not get trolled. It doesn't matter who is in the right here, but that's an unreasonable expectation. If they don't want bad comments, then moderate them before letting them appear on the page.

I did the test with iperf. Maybe there's something with the windows version of it. I was using a Linux box as the other end for the tests. However, the test was really just to ensure that every link was gigabit, and everything got at least a couple hundred mbits.
I think nowadays its not so much the chipset, but the software. I did a network performance test for a company and averaged about 400 mbit/s from Windows machines (many different models, different windows versions). None of them got above 600mbit/s. However, the one Mac laptop they had was able to saturate the pipe.
How good is it at finding stupid tricks? Eg, using bidirectional text to flip things (logically, but not visually) or inserting a bunch of zero-width characters? Maybe even null characters or something to make the detection engine fail. It just seems like the real solution isn't rewording, it's obfuscating what is already there.
1. You have to hold ALT when right clicking the panels in order to customize them. No more by-mistake applet moves.
How the hell is that at all intuitive or good UI design? In other applications, even on windows, you right click the toolbar to customize it. And what was wrong with the "lock to panel" option for applets?
I upgraded to Fedora 15 (from 13) and was so horrified by Gnome 3 that I immediately installed Debian so I could use Gnome 2. Even the "classic Gnome" option is still unusable.
I'm guessing that it's because Apple uses China for their manufacturing, and it would hurt the Chinese economy if they were to take their business elsewhere.
That's not my point. Previously, when a minor revision came out, it wouldn't break the extension, and the extension says it is still compatible. Now, even if the extension is compatible, the extension might only be marked as being compatible with 5.*. So when 6 comes out, even though the extension should still work, the browser will mark is as incompatible and forcibly disable it. Unless you have NTT installed, you cannot use that plugin until the maintainer updates the compatibility for his extension.
For one, it breaks compatibility with extensions, since they normally will say "I'm compatible with Firefox 3.*" because normally when the major version number stays the same, things wont break. This is a fairly standard software practice. Firefox 4, 5, and 6 should have been called 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2, since they were only minor revisions, and do not break compatibility. So then when there's Firefox version 4 through version 392 (if they even make it that far), it's impossible to know which break compatibility and which are small updates.
And what did EA add to those games? My guess: DRM and monetization. I remember when game publishers actually contributed to a game rather than just slapping their name and some copy protection on it.
being an ex-windows user, it took me quite a while to figure out that the explorer-clone was called "nautilus". not exactly intuitive. what's wrong with "file browser" or something?
There's more than one file browser you might use on linux, just like how there's more than one web browser. If you called one "file browser", what would you call the others? It would lead to a situation like when people think "internet explorer" = "the internet".
I think what he was referring is the cut that Apple takes from App store purchases.
I don't see how you can call that 'control what you do with a device you bought' with a straight face. If people are buying those Apple products that are so provisioned, and then surprised at those facts, I have a hard time feeling bad for them.
You just completely skirted around the actual point. Apple DOES tightly control what you do with the device you paid for. You tried to justify it, but the point still stands.

Or use 5 or 5.8ghz. Even if there are tons of devices, it has many times more spectrum than the 802.11b/g band.

Your comment offends me. Please pay me restitution.
Does the UK not have an equivalent of the first amendment or something?
Exactly. I'm not a UK law expert, but if he said offensive things to the person's face, what would the punishment be? I'm tired of punishments being much worse due to the fact that a computer was involved.

But that cable connection IS an internet connection for many people.

Here's the problem: I don't know Javascript, and even if I did, I shouldn't have to know a programming language to tweak my UI.

Well, if you put it in a fiber, sure. I'm just saying that Bluetooth isn't really a valid alternative.
Because bluetooth bandwidth is measured in mbps, but for any decent monitor, you need something measured in gbps.

People can give you files but cannot read all the other things that have been put in the folder.
