For flashing a version 5 of the WRT54G, look at Flash_Your_Version_5_WRT54G.
Yeah... sadly, it involves a JTAG cable, which I don't have. It sounds like a complicated enough process that things could go wrong in a number of different ways for me. I guess I'll have to stick with my v5 until such time as I can justify buying a new router. I wish I'd known about the v5 limitations- 2MB, runs VxWorks- before I picked it up! Ah, well.
Well, the thing is, this wouldn't be a *small* amount of nudity. The video game environment means you could have a number of topless women running around for an extended period of time. The PG-13 rating is for *brief* displays of nudity.
Heck, even a single topless shot can push something frmo PG-13 to R. See the Wikiepedia entry here:
So, whether we agree that a rendered breast can corrupt or not, it's a little easier to see that the standards should at least apply equally in movies and games.
(No, it isn't the perfect solution. But I trust my system more than I trust my ISP.)
And that definitely works for you; however, I think CmdrTaco's corollary about power users applies here. I have no hard numbers or studies, but I strongly suspect that the majority of internet users do not mind reading their email via the web.
That said, I think another reason that desktop email clients make an OS attractive is that they often provide some sort of aesthetic. It lends the appearance and feel of an appliance, rather than a gritty machine.
This is the part I've always had trouble with- outside of buying a heart monitor, how do I know if I'm maintaining that heartrate during my workout? Do I check my pulse every five-ten minutes?
Agreed. That's in an ideal situation, where the companies, after recuperating their expenses and overhead, give back to the consumer. Assuming anything ever comes of this, we'll see.
"'I really wanted to get my hands dirty again,' he said Wednesday, sitting in his garage..."
"After working as a toy designer in New York -- where he helped create 'Teen Talk Barbie' -- he came to Silicon Valley in 1992 to join Apple's research staff."
My cell phone is already motion controlled; I move my fingers in a way so as to poke the protruding buttons on it, which triggers input.
Also, I can throw my phone at the wall when I'm getting bad reception. I've been told that this does not improve functionality of the phone, but it sure makes me feel better.
Both Snow Crash (someone mentioned Hiro and the manipulation of objects in his environment) and Tad Williams' Otherworld feature this sort of behavior in their environment. Player-crafted and -owned objects are common, and in fact are really what bring a player prestige.
I like the idea of an online environment where one's creative abilities and hard work are appreciated and rewarded, because it encourages similar behavior in others. Instead of spending hours just clicking on ingredients to craft something, actual time and mental resources are spent. Feels good.
Is there anything preventing a guerrilla network from springing up around this? I imagine that the wireless signal would only deal with the authorized cable modems, but how difficult would it be to hack?
At my college, we are playing around with wireless connections for the CS building, and we are paying close attention to who is able to get the signal. Are these people paying the same kind of attention?
It was not really the issue of privacy being invaded. Yes, it was done on a large scale. But the main point made was this:
It's not illegal, but to a lot of people it's invasive and rude to come through a network and do a ping scan...
So yeah, it was done on a large scale. Yes, we're right to be uneasy about a company acting in stealth mode. But it's our responsibility to guard our resources. The mature decision of the security community is not to thwap Quova, but to regard it cautiously and not to give an inch.
Yes, Gattaca was a great movie. Now I have to complement the suggestion of a great movie with the recommendation for a horrible one:
Parts: The Clonus Horror. It was taken on by MST3K a few years back. *sniffle* Those were the days. Anyway, the idea is that there are these clones raised on a farm to be strong, lithe and healthy so that they can end up being organ/limb donors. Very silly, very bad acting.
If I'm correct, the capybara is currently the largest rodent in the world. According to the same page, the scientific name either translates to "water hog" or "water joy". Either way, at about two feet long, high, whatever- they is big muthas.
Holy CRAP! On the Cambridge Display Technology's home page, the two cell phones on the splash page show a tiny image of Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion! This company gets cool points:)
Application: Okay, we've seen the somewhat uninformed ideas about how this can be used. What exactly is the consistency, durability, etc. of this silicon substrate they're talking about? Why do they talk about such small screens? This suggests to me that either the PPV (the light-emitting polymer) or the silicon cubstrate material is expensive. On the other hand,according to Generics, the size isn't a problem:
A high resolution TV display has already been demonstrated and is capable of being produced in any size, as no spacers, polarizers or filters are required.
Ecological Effects: This isn't going to be disposable, as far as I could read. It sounded short-lived, but not disposable. What effect would the LEP have on the environment (or, for that matter, on the user)?
The Reality: This has been researched since 1989 by the CDT. How long will it take for their efforts to come to fruition? The blue lasts a bit outside 41 days on constant use. The green will last three years. Again- longevity is a problem, and disposability isn't the answer. It looks really cool, though.
This is a fairly good tech city. I'd say it's developing. The popular opinion is that Ireland's economy is presently booming, partially due to the computer industry. While I don't have hard figures, I know that there are plenty of IT jobs out here.
I'm actually working out here as a student through Northeastern University. I got a job through our work abroad program, and I found a place to live through the online DAFT.ie web site. I happened to find a house with two other guys in the it field.
One of the big things out here is the mobile phone industry. Not only does everyone have mobile phones, they're much less of a hassle than they are in the U.S. You purchase the phone, and then you purchase prepaid cards. You pay about 6p per minute on off-peak hours and weekends. It's pretty sweet. The two major companies are Eircomm and Esat.
Internet access: Hrm. Well, I don't have a connection at home, but I have enough time for that at work. Outside of work, Internet cafe's are my best bet. They cost, on the average, £4 an hour.
It's a busy, but friendly, city. My experience with cities is largely with Boston, where I grew up, so YMMV. It's not the "top o' the morning" stereotype. People work hard, and rest easy. As always, when leaving home, try not to grip expectations tightly.

Ah! I misinterpreted things. This *is* an excellent development. Thanks for the clue bat.

Agreed. You'd almost think that the people from Yahoo were doing it to cripple the service and make Launch more attractive. *smirks*
Not really. If slashdot readers are mocking the con-goers wholesale, it's probably just an indicator that they are not part of their monkeysphere.
I know this may be sort of thick of me, but does immunity also imply that you won't carry it?
I think it's really important to consider the logger rhythms.
Mm.
No, I'm pretty sure he means Anal Ra, an obscure egyptian deity who was based on the sun god but was quite fastidious about his duties as a deity.
(ie, 30-40 minutes *in your target heart rate!*)

Hrm. Are they aware that their handshake is the international symbol also known as the shocker?"
'cause, you know. Ew.
Agreed. That's in an ideal situation, where the companies, after recuperating their expenses and overhead, give back to the consumer. Assuming anything ever comes of this, we'll see.
My bodily waste is not public domain.
I expect to be compensated for my hard work.

Noting the discussions above, I'm guessing that the majority of people here aren't going to get the intended irony of your post.
