The article kinda has it backwards, it's b equipment that will slow down and interfere with g equipment. The problem is that without the warning, the b device will still try to transmit, which will collide with the g device's transmission, and they'll both have to retramsit all over again.
Over half the thoroughput of any flavor of 802.11 is devoted to determining which device gets to transmit when, without which they'd all just transmit on top of each other and slow each other down even further, which is what is happening with current equipment

802.11g Slows Down
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
802.11b's raw speed is 11Mb/s, actual thoroughput is only about 5 Mb/s. As far as I can tell, 802.11g's raw speed is still 54Mb/s, and even with the older "faster" firmware still actually had a throughput of ~20Mb/s, the only thing that's changed is the handling of mixed networks at 10Mb/s, which is still faster than 802.11b, just not the 4-5 times faster you'd expect.
The whole point of 802.11g is backwards compatibility. The only way to screw it is to use another frequency, and that's what 802.11a is for.
A single Cube managed to tear up dozens of starships at Wolf 359, yet somehow Voyager manages to evade assimilation or destruction by dozens of various borg vessels at once on numerous occasions.
The question is whether if it's limited to 802.11b just between b and g airport clients or if activity from a g airport client to anything else is also limited if there is a b client merely present.
Did they even bother to ask? I wonder how many other games or software projects have been delayed because the developers didn't bother to ask anyone if there were already wheels out there while they tried to invent their own.
The problem with that is that they could care less what solids controlled what, as long as they didn't interrupt their prepetual orgy in the great link. Conquering the galaxy seemed like an expedient way to prevent that.
Yeah, you're still getting a lot, but there are other tv shows on dvd that cost about half that, such as buffy, 24 and stargate sg-1. They probably don't have as many extras or remixed 5.1 dolby digital sound though, so I guess that's what you'd be paying for.
Yeah, those last 11 episodes were probably the best ending for a tv series ever. As sad as I was to see the show end, they made the most of it and then some. They've spoiled me to all others, which seem to just end abruptly, doing stand alone episodes up until the last one or two.
I think Chuck D of Public Enemy did just that. But you probably heard very little if anything about that because...
The problem is that the publicity machine that would report such an action would never let the public hear it. Around the same time of the imfamous grammys with the piracy bashing, there was a fundraiser event backed by a bunch of major artists to get better rights and contracts for musicians, especially small ones. Entertainment Tonight described it as a fund raiser to help artists "down on their luck" in a 5 second blurb, and was only mentioned to explain why some people weren't at the grammys. You might read about someone getting out of the system on the web or in some newspapers, but they'll drop out of the publicity monstrosity that keeps popular culture afloat sooner than any halfway decent artist whose last album just didn't sell as amazingly well as expected.
No, they'll just interperet that as the copy protection isn't working well enough. Expect headphones that'll inject a lethal dose of botox if unapproved sound comes out of them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone over here convinced Europe to do that so they could then tell Congress "everybody else is doing 70 years! It needs to be uniform!" and make it that much easier. Seeing that we're the copyright center of the media universe, it makes sense that such a nutty idea would originate here.
Actually, nowadays its more like they dig their own stagnant water west nile virus and malaria infected mosquito breeding ground. Unprotected machines run by the ignorant and lazy are as dangerous to responsibly maintained machines as the worms themselves.
They could have had the same effect by just saying they might be planning on cancelling it and won't make a decision for a few months than saying it's cancelled now and they've got a week befoe they start tearing all the sets down to make room for a bigger John Ewards auditorium.
At the very least I find it beneficial in the sense that you are made aware that there are people out there with such opinions, and maybe learn how to relate to them.
the problem is that the JPEG patent actually applies to JPEGs, while this one had a barely superficial resemblance to hyperlinks. It's gonna take an altogether different type of sanity for that one, along the lines of throwing out software patents in general.

There are plugins to support Ogg in Quicktime and iTunes, but Ogg support isn't included by Apple.
Judging by how well they maintain their web site, the RIAA couldn't care less if the entire Internet and all computers curled up and died tomorrow.

Just imagine how bad the music will get when they start writing it to be easily made into recognizable ringtones
That makes so little sense its painful.
They block port 80.

Actually those multiple showings are a godsend when schedule cnflicts occur.
I do.

That was a joke, right?

They don't exist, sorry. Return it and get one with a prism2/orinoco based chipset

Sure took someone long enough to even seriously attempt this.
