hope this isn't considered karma whoring, but the cisco 678 documentation will be useful in the course attempting the interleaving change. fully searchable, unlike your dead tree version! (if you even have one, dsl providers typically get the modems sans box, packaging and docs)
i concur with this information. (note: i used to work for verizon dsl)
meanmachine is right, the bit error rate isn't critical for you. the latency is.
the solution, for you, luckily, is nearby. the cisco line of dsl routers has changable interleaving settings! all the info i can find now is at dslreports.
if this doesn't work, then the solution is to get your provider to turn off interleaving. this will be difficult. repeat: this will be difficult. you'll probably have to beg, beg some more, beg to 20 different people, and then they still won't do it. ask to talk to a dsl tech, supervisor, whatvever. but if your cisco can't do it, then getting them to change it at the far end is the only way.
Please release the specs and documentation associated with the products you've discontinued. For example, the Intel Pocket PC Camera, along with your other webcams.
alternatively, i understand it is fairly easy to disassemble a power supply and get really nice quiet sanyo denki or panaflow fan to replace the (most likely) lower quality noisy sleeve bearing fan in there now. check out plycon for fans if taking this route.
i tried to grab at least the images linked to directly on the front page, in the hope that i could mirror them, or at least pass them on to someone else to mirror them. this was when the article had only 4 responses (all -1, of course).

wouldn't it be cool if slashdot could choose 5 or 10 trusted people (slashdot users who had previously performed a good public service and mirrored old articles) to get the story 5-8 minutes early?

i agree, the staroffice start button is an incredibly bad design idea. however, you can turn it off rather easily. i was able to when i last user staroffice approx. 8 months ago.
a fine idea, but the website appears to be updated with new content fairly regularly, and the googlecache doesn't have the st:tmp dvd story. good try for karma, though.
the idea, i believe, is to have a fleet of them in the air at one time, so instead of a 'stationary' geosynchronous orbit it would behave more like a cell network in motion.
note: much like high-speed and low-speed devices in usb 1.0/1.1, mixing pci 3.0 and pci 2.0/2.1 devices will lower the effective throughput of all devices to the 2.0/2.1 level.

5.5 beta 2 or something.
would you look at that. the kid is right. http://www.microsoft.com/unix/ie/default.asp shows a link to ie 5 for solaris. i have to admit, i thought, like many others, ie 3.something was the last unix attempt at ie, on hp-ux and irix, like someone else said. this is pretty cool. i'm tempted to take over my friend's solaris box just to install this.
ah, but do you have to explain to them the difference between pci 2.0 and pci 2.1 expansion cards? oh, what's that you say? you don't? oh, great.
that's because pci 2.1 compatible motherboards have been rolling out ever since that spec was finalized. and after that pci 2.1 cards were pushed to retailers. backwards comaptible, and transparent to most users.
next time you buy a pci card, check out if it requires pci 2.0 or 2.1. it'll be in the manual. and then you'll realize you've been able to match up yuor motherboard and your pci cards with little to no effort already.
Hey! I've probably cursed you off before! How's it going?
actually, great! i've found a new company (telecom related. listed in the forbes 500, and we're inching towards entry into the fortune 500) that treats me great, pays me quite a bit better, and generally doesn't put me in the position of lying to customers.:)
if you cursed at me i'm sure it was for a good reason. i understand.
i'm aware of the size of the router. however, there are any number of reasons why you wouldn't want to spend an additional x number of dollars on a piece of hardware after purchasing dsl service.
i also couldn't help but notice you said wonderful fix to the PPPoE situation. i think this illustrates my point well. if you consider pppoe a 'situation' and you need to buy something to 'fix' it, then perhaps you need to question what you're really buying. i can suggest others find a dsl provider who doesn't use pppoe.
imagine for a moment that you didn't have the linksys router, either because you didn't have the room for it, couldn't afford it, whatever. you would then be forced to use sbc's pppoe software. not good.
as a former verizon contracted employee (yes, dsl support), i can tell you that the third party software they use, wind river's winpoet, absolutely sucks. leaks memory. will not (without add-ons) reconnect after disconnects. pain to install. pain to uninstall!
this is the issue. why not just leave things the way they are (i'm assuming they're using dhcp currently? dhcp works great) instead of moving to pppoe, a relatively young protocol that almost all network engineers consider a kludge, in it's current development state?
i would just like to thank you for the off-topic link to the kasparov deep blue blue story. seriously. it was a great read. i play horrible chess, but i enjoy watching and learning about it.
the article title may mislead you: you're not kicking the two vertical poles. the poles contain intrared sensors to detect where your legs and arms are.
the technology is getting quite a bit better than previous incarnations. if you want to see infrared in action, visit your local arcade and try out police 911.
i actually feel sort of sorry for this guy. not because he had so much trouble setting up hdtv, or that he spent so much cash. i feel sorry for him considering he did so little research.
True, one of the HDTV channels is HBO. That's OK, I guess, but not particularly better than the digital signal I get from my cable box. And that second channel? A 90-minute demonstration program played over and over and over and over. . . . No programming. No Super Bowl. And, of course, when I plugged my digital cable into the decoder, what did I get? The same signal I was getting before. No HDTV.
c'mon. he didn't ask his cable provider if they offered hdtv service? granted, the average consumer may not realize this, but this guy confesses up fornt he is a gadget junkie. this is a bit like buying a car that runs on natural gas, and then complaining that your favorite gas station doesn't have a natural gas pump.
as a public service, let me help out with what one needs for hdtv service.
an hdtv. with built-in decoder, or seperate decoder.
and hdtv source. be it directtv (like the article says, they have very few high definition channels), or over the air, or a cable provider that offers it (very very few i've heard of).
for over the air, you'll need an antenna, as he discovered. there are small discreet ones you can mount to your dss dish if you have one, or hide along your gutter pipes to avoid your neighborhood's largest eyesore.
that's it. be aware that getting an hdtv feed is the hardest part.:)
