Not to be shrill, but please reread your original post:
"instead of XP deciding to take over for all WLAN third-party software and FORCING you to use an encryption key, let's let the fucking USERS decide what THEY want to do and what software THEY want to use."
Not true...XP doesn't own this process.
"It won't let me use third-party software to control the WLAN."
Also not true.
You can ignore the 1/2 dozen or so people advising you to dump the crappy hardware you bought
You can ignore everyone with referencial experience telling you to get the Orinoco hardware
But quit bitching about XP as the root of your troubles. Its pretty well documented by multiple people above that its not.
YORBA LINDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2002--EZQuest began shipping its new Boa 48x12x48 USB 2.0 CD-RW drive today. Last month, EZQuest began shipping its FireWire version of this drive. The drives are priced at $189 for the USB drive and $199 for the FireWire drive. Together, these new drives are the fastest, highest-performance drives in the industry. Both drives can burn a 74-minute CD in 1.52 minutes (about 20% faster than 40x drives) and re-write a 74-minute CD in 6.1 minutes. Other features include their 48x read speed (the fastest available on a CD recorder), and their 2MB buffer size and buffer under-run technology (which eliminates under-run errors in fast-write modes). These high-speed drives are ideal for data archiving and desktop publishing, and for MIDI and recording studio applications.
More wind power than any other state doesn't mean much...how many homes can it power for its footprint(not many compared to other energy generating sources).
Actually, most wind generating plant also find themselves shuttered by environmentalists....birds fly into the fans.
Do some research on the generating plants in California.
Plus, they are large, only generate adequate energy on windy days (not all the time) and are uuuuuuuugly. Most people don't want that in their backyard either.
So if I combine this technology with yesterday's story about the cellphone in the tooth, I can take pictures of my teeth?

TiVo Series 2 Review
·
· Score: 1
Its actually a lot easier than that.
My Tivo has a "Save to VCR" feature which will
Turn on my (Sony only) VCR Record the show in question Shut off my (Sony only) VCR
Actually, its 50% more money, and that is easily explainable due to the removal of the CDRW/DVD drive, smaller disk and smaller screen..all else is identical "spec-wise"
As for the size, when you dump the CDRW (1//2 the length of the machine) and shrink the screen and use a 1.8" hard drive (instead of 2.5"), you get the aforementioned device.
Oh..and you can order it with 802.11B wireless integrated.
Also check the Sony Picturebook for size/specs.
I sincerely think it is a stock motherboard someone has put together.
I vividly remember my one and **only** visit to Chuck E. Cheese.
I was forced to a relatived kid's birthday party.
I walked in the door to find a couple of hundred kids eating horrible pizza and swinging from the rafters.
I muttered to my wife "this must be what hell looks like"
The only redeeming factor was that they sold beer there to take the edge off (albeit at about $4 for a small cup)
The heart of the establishment appears to be a backroom birthday party factory....a bunch of 20 foot long folding tables where they can efficiently and quickly clean up one party and start the next one in about 5 minutes.
But the beer was ok.
If this was this man's most recent contribution to society, I fear for our survival.
Take a look at the Libretto L2....it runs a Transmeta chip now:
http://www.dynamism.com/libretto/main.shtml
8mb of on-chip video RAM, 256mb (standard 128mb) RAM, and a 30gb (standard 10gb) HDD. It is also the first-ever Libretto to have an integrated ethernet port. The TFT used in the Libretto is absolutely fantastic. Transmeta's 600mhz Crusoe processor powers the machine but enables it to achieve 4.5 hours (2.5-3 hours real life) run-time on the standard battery--and, a whopping 14 hours (9-10 hours real life) run-time on the enhanced battery.
Sounds like 5 years ago. I remember like it was yesterday.
Running 1000 user Netware 3.x on a Netframe 450. (I especially remember the $5000/1GB drives)
This "new" architecture sounds a lot like a repackage of that idea. They have multiple server blades in 1 chassis with a proprietary (800Mhz) backplane to communicate. They could even run Netware/OS2 and NT in the same chassis.
This new one even has the "Rcon" (lights out) capability (hee hee).
This strategy didn't exactly pan out for Apple (long term).
They used to be the most widely used platform in schools (primary and secondary).
Look where it (eventually) got them.
Not that Linux wouldn't or couldn't be different, but in the case of apple, there was a central company (apple) driving the strategy and actively marketing to the schools. Linux doesn't currently have this advantage.
I guess they don't put much stock on training students to use the most prevalent (Note: I didn't say the best)office automation tools in the marketplace (MS Office)?

Alcatel's OmniPCX 4400 PBX runs a BSD derivative.
Their voicemail system uses Linux.
They are porting more of the PBX to Linux
Perhaps the Dlink XP drivers just aren't up to snuff.
This would surprise nobody who has every worked with Dlink's equipment
Too bad you have to resort to calling names to justify your purchase of cr*ppy hardware.

Spend the $80 and get an Orinoco Gold card (Silver only supports 64bit WEP). You'll be pleasantly surprised.
I consistently get an 11Mbps connection virtually everywhere in my (rather large) house.
I use a Linksys Access Point....I had a Dlink (it sucked and so did the support).
The Dlink's aren't worth the time you are spending on them.
Methinks you are configuring things wrong on your system or on your WAP
XP doesn't forbid the use of 3rd party WLAN configuration software (I am running Orinoco's Client Manager).
It also doesn't require an encryption key. I turn mine off once in a while to allow others easy access.
Works with no encryption, 64 bit or 128. XP controls none of this...the WAP does
The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from :-)
A laptop, a wireless card and a Pringles can for a directional antenna ought to do it.
Actually, there are currently shipping ZX interfaces that can go to 70KM to 100KM or so.

I continue to call the "need" for federal funding.
The stem cells that would be used are covered by a seemingly comprehensive patent by UW.
Univ. of Wis. has given exclusive rights to Geron (a company).
Geron will own anything done with these stem cells, including any "cures" that are discovered.
Geron is (presumably) willing to invest money (and already has) in the research in order to make money from this.
Why do we need federal funding of this? It seems like transferring taxpayer funds to the bottom line of hugebiotechcorp.com

Do they mean cash positive, like they have earnings above $0?
Or Amazon's definition, where you say you are cash positive (before all types of various expenses).
