Then again they have different target markets. The guy on the bike got to demonstrate his incredible ballsiness, whereas the guy in the Porsche put some tunes on the stereo, flipped on the aircon and went to pick up his boyfriend. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
NTL bought out Virgin's share of Virgin.net and bought Virgin mobile. Part of the deal allowed NTL to use the Virgin brand for 99 years (IIRC).
Same company, same managers, same staff, same network just a bought in brand.
BTW, Cable internet support is run by ex-NTL staff working in Swansea for IBM, ADSL support is run by ex-NTL staff working mainly in Newport (s.wales) for Fujitsu.
You read slashdot and you're using WEP encryption? What the hell are you thinking? WEP is absolutely trivial to crack, and MAC filtering takes mere seconds to get around.
To be secure in any way at all you need to use at least WPA, preferably WPA2 with a decent passcode.
I use WPA2 with a 15 character alphanumeric code, and I still check my logs occasionally.

That's Domesday, not Doomsday. Pronounced the same, largely the same meaning, but it's dom, not doom.

something wrong with rsynch?
Virgin did not 'take over' NTL.

I've never had a problem booting with target disk or a HDD over USB.
What's the big deal?
