Wifi repeaters were only defined for 802.11b. Many non-standard solutions exist for 802.11g and 802.11n, some of them work, some give problems. Anyway, one of the likely root causes is the Hidden Node problem. Make sure any access points configured to the same channel are well out of reach of each other and only use channel 1, 6 and 11.
I drew all my plans in metric units and in the building materials shop all sizes are metric as well. (you would greatly confuse them if you order a 50 pounds of cement or a metal bar of 3 yards). One noticeable exception is the width of sanitary pipes; these are measured in inches and quarter inches. (which greatly confuses me)
I can't speak for the situation in Iran, but here in Beijing it's virtually impossible to get on the Tor network. All bridges that are published by the Tor team are all unreachable (including those published on social networks). The only way to get on the Tor network is to have a friend set up a private bridge.
If China manages to block Tor, Iran may be able to do the same (now or in the near future)
surfing to http://google.cn/ will show you something that looks like google's homepage, only, it's just an image of the homepage. Clicking on it will lead you to google.com.hk. (the version in simplified Chinese characters) What changed a couple of weeks back is that they do not redirect you automatically, you just end up on this landing page.
Interesting to note: passing a query directly to google.cn (from the search box in firefox), will just execute the query on google.com.hk
- User boots live-cd - Some malware gets executed and stays in RAM (by user interaction or not) - Malware reflashes the EEPROM holding the BIOS with some malicious code - On next boot BIOS will store some malicious code in memory and does something very clever that makes the OS on the liveCD execute that code
It would be a very targeted attack, but not entirely impossible
Chinese speakers (at least in Beijing) often use the word é£ä (neige) as a filler word; much in the same way as 'uh' or 'er' are used in the English language.
For anyone with no understanding of the Chinese language will often be confronted by the words 'nigga, nigga' when walking on the streets of Beijing.
The interesting thing is that their homepage (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) is very well accessible via the Beijing proxy of my company network; nicely showing the Beijing Olympics handcufs logo to every Chinese citizen who stumbles upon it.
www.sourceforge.net and Sourceforge's download pages are blocked.
I'm living in Beijing and, as far as I can find out, there is not much censorship on music (most Chinese can not understand English lyrics anyway).
Unfortunatly the selection of music sold is quite limited. The recent hit parade and old time classics are readily available in the CD shops or on the street. (all are copies, legal CD's are very hard to come by)
But then again, you are able to find just about everything on the internet. Ting (Mandarin chinese for 'to hear') is one of the better MP3 sites, indexing thousands of MP3's in a wide range of styles which can be freely listened to online. (http://www.ting-mp3.com)
It has little to do with the "official" spam you're referring to, but still it's quite interesting what the global distribution of virus-generated spam comes from. Commtouch has some of the statistics.
One small thing missing in iCal though, and that's the ability to show week numbers. (e.g. week 24 starts monday). In fact this microscopic point in the featurelist, makes me use Outlook i.s.o. iCal.
What concerns me is the MAC Mini Power supply. As a European my wall plugs give me 220V at 50Hz. I have some American contacts who will be travelling here shortly and can bring me a mac mini. Mac mini sells here at about EUR 500, which is about 25-30% more expensive than $500.
Does anyone know whether - The power supply sold with the Mac Mini's in the US support 220V - The power cable is easily replacable with one that fits European wall outlets?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=7 50 99 doesn't give me any info. (yet?)
With worse hygiene and containment certainly far more people would be infected
Have you ever been in Bejing? Not all people live like us Europeans/Americans... People in the suburbs of Chinese cities live with whole family's in a 6 m^2 room. During the day, most of these people live on the street, they cook and eat in the terrible smog of Bejing and Shangaii.
Here in Leuven, Belgium, the kotnet project makes use of the infrastructure of a local cable company to connect the students (and the cheaters) all over town.
Here at my studenthouse we pay, for a 15-PC-connection, about EUR 120 per year.
During the summer holidays I did some development work in such a village. What these people need is sustainable agriculture, transportation, infrastructure and a descent economy.
What's the use of internet access if most of these villages don't even have roads, water or electricity?
Even if they do watermark all types of data-aquisition cards en ADC-components, how are they going to watermark my self-build ADC? Build a sawtooth-generator, a timing circuit and a comparator, and you will get a fairly good ADC (up to 12 bits of precission seems possible to me)

Purely theoretical:

- Malware reflashes the EEPROM holding the BIOS with some malicious code

For instance, the good old light bulb. This one is going for over a hundred years and still counting.
I wonder how long it will takes before LED bulbs beat that (yes, at least a 108 years)
You were not the first one. "Dark Room" a PC game making use of the Wii controller. And yes, it uses the Wiimote in a very adult-y way.
On a side note,
Richard Garriot, apart from being a successful video game writer, is in fact the son of a former NASA astronaut.
In fact Frosty Post AC has a point.

Not only lakes, also glaciers are drying. They even pack them in foil to protect them from melting.

As a rather enthousiastic KDE user, I was a bit dissapointed when my version of kghostview (0.13.1) failed to open the .pdf document.
For those with the same problem, there's an easy workaround:
$ pdftops digrdp1.pdf
$ kghostview digrdp1.ps
I couldnt figure out
how to export back to word (export doesnt have MS-format option). How do you do it?
Just use - Save As - and select the "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP" format.
