You can use the Cisco powered modem/router/firewall/WiFi AP that the ISP provides or you can put the modem into layer-2 mode and use a Linksys/D-Link if you want.
You would be surprised what kind of throughput you can get from an off the shelf Linksys these days.
When ALL of the ISPs decide to start charging for each website viewed is the day I start my own ISP and collect the millions of people who would rather surf the Internet for "free" (with the obvious monthly connection costs).
I can't wait until they start charging per site (although I believe they NEVER will) as it will economically be like shooting fish in a barrel for the growth of my new ISP business.
The energy sector in Canada (Calgary to be specific) has a number of companies that do this.
I have been working with every other Friday off and think it is great.
Pros - On the short weeks your vacation used is only 4 days. - The Fridays free up my Saturdays with my family because I can get stuff done that I normally would have done on the weekend. - My company closes completely so there is never the possibility of working that day (unless you are on an on-call rotation and something at the datacenter dies). - Long weekends are fantastic. Add that to another Monday holiday and you end up with a 4 day weekend or a 3 day week.
I personally like having the extra day off. I find myself better rested and more productive at home.
I have a Dreamhost account and I pay $7.95 a month.
With that I have the ability to host as many domains as I want and get a TON of bandwidth (4TB/month) to use and a huge amount of disk space (250 GB). I don't use their email servers as I have little use for them (I have used gmail all along).
If one is that concerned about their email service they are more than welcome to go elsewhere and leave Dreamhost for the majority that don't care about email hosting.

Seriously folks, is this really considered news? The new version of MacOS X of course will outsell everyone when it comes to boxed shrink wrapped copies of the OS. Mac users are some of the most loyal upgraders willing to shell out over $100 almost annually for the latest Mac gadgets and GUI redesigns and the only way that most can have it on day one is by heading to their authorized Mac dealer to get it.
Congratulations to Apple for cornering the shrink-wrapped-and-boxed OS market segment.
Digital workflow tools like Aperture and Capture One are quickly becoming the tools pros use when initially doing post production on their images.
My wife shoots architectural photography and during post production she spends 90% of her time in Capture One Pro and about 10% in Photoshop. The only time she is in Photoshop is to remove the odd flaw or touch up something distracting in the image.
Using Capture One initially has cut her post production time by more than half and has increased the quality of her images dramatically.
That would be like me saying that tomatoes are more resiliant than humans because anthrax can kill people and not tomatoes.
Viruses are written for the O/S that it is targeting. There are countless hacks and vulnerabilities in the Linux world but people seem to be happy waiting for the 16 y/o open source programmer to finish his dinner so that his parents will let him use the computer to write a patch.
...actually stopped shopping/working there I am sure it would collapse on its own without using smear campaigns, picketting and pointless lobbying. Of course thats assuming that there is more than just a niche group of vocal people that dislike the store.
Personally I wish less people shopped at Wal-Mart so that I could get through the checkout faster.
I have Shaw Digital Phone in Calgary. It isnt technically VOIP since it uses traditional handsets and communicates seperately from my cable modem. However I do get VOIP pricing on long distance. The service is $55CDN/month which includes free unlimited long distance to North America, all of the typical calling features (VM, 3way, call display etc...) along with dirt cheap international calling and local 911/411 service.
Shaw is also considered a telco in Canada as a result and must maintain CLEC standards for their service. I have yet to have my phone service unavailable or even have sound quality that is any worse than my previous POTS service. Even the phone gateway they installed into my house has a battery backup in case of a power failure (not that it matters anyways my wife and I each have cell phones).
Something that I wondered about when I read this section of the interview was:
So often the Linux community complains about Microsoft's lack of participation in providing Samba the specs it needs, yet no one in the Linux community is willing to develop a network protocol/system that will be unified and distributed on all Linux distributions that Microsoft will actually want to tap into (like the way Microsoft handled Novell interoperability). Linux could learn a lesson or two from Novell.
Linux can be considered mainstream once printer, scanner and digital camera manufacturers include Linux troubleshooting in the manuals that come with the hardware, and actively support Linux on their support phone numbers.
Right now only a select few barely include Linux drivers. Nevermind the bundled applications that many "grandmas" use under Windows or MacOS.

I knew of this happening on a number of occasions for sites when I was working with Blue Coat hardware.
Often the main page was hacked and filled with hidden porn links and meta data to feed search engines.
Why not targeting high fructose corn syrup instead?
It is far more harmful and sugar is a better (albeit pricier) replacement.
.... or Google
What about OSes that don't even allow other browsers to be installed on them? Are they exempt from this type of ruling?
What if I want to run Firefox, IE and Opera on my Google OS powered Chromebook. Should Google be forced to allow this or be fined?

Oh the irony.
Being charged as adults for something that wouldn't have been a crime had they actually been adults.

So how many bootings will this guy get?
Thanks for the info.
That means the Cray should be alright on my desk too... and couch... and kitchen table... and the hood of my car...
Microsoft originally used Chrome as a codename for an IE5 VRML plug-in over 10 years ago.
It was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news about the new Google browser.

BSD is considered a popular OS?
Stupid comparison.

That brings up an interesting point.
How is finger dexterity supposed to help if you have never handled the "instrument" before?
Looks like my Subject rendered out the ">" infront of the "1".
I have a Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse connected to my Powerbook and the right mouse button and scroll wheel work just fine with the OS.
So basically all that this story has to offer is that one day an Apple brand >1 button mouse will be available.
You raise a couple interesting points!
