Why would you need a router? If you only have one machine, then you are set to go without a router.
If you have two machines, then you have two options as I see it. First (1) is to use the XP box to proxy the I-Net connection out to your other box, or (2) set a third computer up to do that for you. Any machine that has a routing table like the one that they are asking you to setup will be robust enough to handle any day-to-day routing that you might be talking about.
If that doesn't answer you question then, I guess you want a black box router that you can run through. All I can say is "My condolences to your dreams". After a cursory look over the web I have found plenty of routers with Ethernet/serial ports, but the thing is they use them as separate ports, and you want to use them as a MUX of sorts. If you got a cisco2500 (?) then you might be able to route all outbound traffic to one side of the box, and allow inbound traffic to run in from anywhere.
I'm not so sure that this would allow you to make and maintain a connection to your dialup ISP, but it may make your dreams come true. Also note that compared to my earlier solution, this one would be VERY VERY expensive.
Have you picked a topic yet? Have you had a chance to put your hands on an XServer? What is the connection between you and the Mac croud (except that we read/. a ton)? Does anyone here want to recommend a topic for Taco?
That is if they are used for 300hrs consecutively... If the technology is fast enough, they will have rolling blackouts inside the processors. That way no one set of cores is in use for an extended period of time. This will extend the life of the circuits, and of the chip.
Don't forget this is an IBM's R&D lab here. In 24-48 months we will hear that not only do they last an unlimited amount of time, they are twice as fast, and three times as small. Only thing between this new merical and us will be a huge licensing fee.
Speed=Heat=Wear. The principals of Moores Law could also track the life expectancy of the faster technologies.
The major difference is Queuing and Parallel Processing. Even today's IDE RAID controllers can't get more than one instruction down the pipe at the same time, and queuing is non-existent. Recently I have seen IDE cards that support extra RAM, but specs on the boxes don't read like they support queues. SATA will introduce the concept of a queue, and that will speed I/O greatly, but the biggest speed barrier is the speed at which the instructions are sent to the disk.
I run a small video editing shop. Real time video editing taxes disk I/O on PC's more than anything else I know of. I HAVE to run SCSI, and still, even with SCSI, I have to wait. Most of the time I am waiting on the I/O.
That being said, after reading the SATA standards, I will feel safe replacing more than half of my high-speed I/O channels with it. I am willing to have it manage everything except the most extensive reads and writes. I will soon be dedicating a portion of my web site to the explanation of SCSI vs. SATA. Bookmark it now.
First off, you assume that there is software that runs great under windows as it is today....
Next, while you can say that lotus notes seems to run 'correctly', I would need you to define 'correctly'.
One, I would want to show you a list of features that we would like to implement into our tool, but can't because Microsoft doesn't us to over run their files (something that other OS's allow today).
Two, I would ask that you to run Joe Sixpack's hacked up version of the tomb raider engine, and have it satisfy your own 'correctly' term (something that users of other OS's can do today).
Finally, not only do I need to be able as a developer to change the machines environment, but also I would like you to prove to me that Microsoft doesn't take ownership of file types that I have other programs to deal with.
You make a strong point, but it's a little off the track. Microsoft is bullying other software Manufactures out of the market place with a big stick and a pace that is frightening. By not allowing competition for the desktop they are doing three things. They are driving me out of business, they are deciding for the customer what programs they can run, and they are engaging in antitrust activates
Not true. The effort can and will be presented as evidence. This combined with expert drivel, and Microsoft's "indefinite period" response thing, CAN be taken into consideration. The judge is allowed to contrive facts from the proceedings themselves. Will he? I don't know, but it is possible, and the states have a really strong case. Especially in light of the fact that several on their witness list are now inadmissible
Yes, QA is very important and the main gateway to Level 2 development. It's not imperative that you have a degree for a position in QA, but there is no room for someone who is not a self-starter. Once you start to find bugs, the development staff might let you handle them, and then after a year or so, they might see the right stuff in you, and promote you to level 2 or straight into development. I work for a company with 18,000 programmers, and everyone that wasn't already a programmer when we bought them, worked there way up via Support->QA->level 2. Note that if you are better than your peers, your current boss has an obligation to try and keep you (sabotage your promotion), so changing employers is usually the fastest way to move on the corporate latter.
School is your only hope. I know that you think you have no time, and that you must spend time with your family, but the fact is, that you have to pay bills, and put food in their mouth. However, if you are still in computers when you turn 40, you had better hope that you never get fired, or that you are never on the job market for any reason. It is idealistic to say that the degree doesn't matter, but the fact is, companies are letter go of better than you and those guys have degrees. A degree doesn't mean CEO, it's doesn't even really mean success. But it does generally mean that you don't have to answer your customers with a sentence that starts with 'would you like' and ends with 'with that?'

They could have a rand function that changes the length of the yellow light with every cycle. It wouldn't discourage the yellow jumper, because legally you have to have n number of seconds of yellow. So every driver knows that he has two seconds to slam past the light. even if really he has eight.
I'm just glad I live in Texas where the state has declaired it illigal to post cameras for this purpose. In a state that spends more on corrective services than any other, I'm sure that our "boys in blue" will no have to contend with electronic replacements to soon.
However, It is not practical nor cheep for me to change the ground clearence of my Yugo. The reason I have a Yugo in the first place is because I kept hearing about how much nicer life would be if I had a car. I went right down to CompUSA and bought the economy model. Because I have never driven a HUMMER, I am satisfied with the performance of my Yugo. and while I upgraded to the CD player, and put seat covers on, I will probly never change the configuration of my Yugo because 1) I don't know that I can 2) I don't know how 3) I don't know how hard it would be (seems alot like FUD, now that I think about it)
anyway... the point is, Mr Sixpack, is to ignorent to do anything about the configuration of his machine. Is that a bad thing? Not if all he wants the machine for it Quicken. In that case it's the best thing. But if people where "raised" to look at the GUI and an extension of the OS, then they would be more likely to try to reach under the hood. This is best shown in the Tivo world. People who would NEVER try to open thier computer (because they can just go buy a new one if this one gets to old) are pulling thier Tivo's apart and putting in new harddrives to give them more space.
feloneous cat is right. Upgrade-ism is the in the blood, but it a null point if they don't know that they can.
Okay, I see your point, but what about this. Microsoft sits of the board of dozens of standards boards. They help make the rules of how software operates, and how it interacts with other pieces of software.
(Stay with my I am trying to build a up to a point)
We all realize that Microsoft sits on the board of the W3C. They are there when the rules are made. Then they take the standards, and do what we refer to as "embrace and extend". As it stands right now, IE complies with ALL ECMAScript standards and is 100% compliant. They are more compliant out of the box then ANY other web browsers. However, the theory of embrace and extend says that now only does IE support all the rules of ECMA script, but they through in rules of their own. Now, this is not so much a problem in that they are giving the consumer more access to the tool by opening up hooks for developers to play with the application. Here is where they "engineered" Windows not to work with...
They take their proprietary extensions and use those to communicate with other Microsoft applications. They build pipes for their own apps to use, and then don't publish the interfaces. In that way they make the application not work with other applications.
This is most evident in their Exchange product. Ximian recently released a hack to allow non-windows applications to interact natively with Exchange. This wasn't based on a set of standard that Microsoft released. It's been the result of reverse engineering the protocols that were being passed by outlook. Exchange and IE are not the only tools that the do this way. The OS has hooks that other applications can't get to.
Is this bad? It's not to the end user. But to a software developer, these are sometimes fatal. Especially when you spend money on R&D to figure out what they are doing, and then because it's their interface, they change it.
I might just be a crybaby, but this is just as bad as Microsoft engineering windows to not work with other applications (except in the way they want it to). I have never had this problem with open source software.
Are you serious about your question "Who cares if Windows comes with IE as long as one can install Mozilla? "?
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and guess that your just a troll, or flamebait, better yet just joking. If this really is a question and you strongly feel that it's not a problem for MS to force someone to ship IE with the windows product, reply to this, and I'll explain.
elegance is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess if you write the parser, you write the rules. However, the topic here is XML. A ton of rules are already in place. Parsers have already been written. If you think you can write a better one, then there is money in it for ya. '(' and ')' are cute, but you will still have to deal with the same short comings of EVERY OTHER set of parse rules. The only thing you gain/lose is key strokes. And the benefit of machine and human readable code far outways one persons bitching about his fingers. poor you....
If your building an application, then you will not want to use STL. STL is a speed deamon. It will be great for coders that write to hardware (ex: phone switches, automotive computers, etc...). Templates is the name of the game here, and because of the lack of objects, the programmer enjoys the power of C++, and the speed of the older style ANSI C compilers.

/10 means that you have a 10(bit?) subnet. That tells your computer's closest router, what requests from your computer that it shouldn't route.
