The guy says he doesn't want a pc, then everyone recommends a pc.
He specifically requested NAT plus static, which at least the first 20 posts didn't mention. Linksys supports that. You can also set up a 'DMZ' with Linksys and tell it which machines are exposed to the Internet.
Here in Austin, Texas, Real Estate Alliance was the first company to put the entire MLS system for the Austin area on-line. You state preferences, search, and get your results. Signing up for the service means that a realtor will call you shortly to follow up, but they're
not pushy - you can tell them that you're 'just looking' and they're cool with that.
At the time they first set it up, in fact, the Board of
Realtors got all pissed off. Now the Board does it too, but their service is worse.;-)
If you're buying or selling in Austin, check them out. Good stuff, easy to use, good people.
I don't see how this system does that. Seems to me that the corporate execs jump in, spot the greatest trends in this system, resell it to whoever is buying, and ultimately get away with doing what they've always done. Only this time they didn't even have to pay for R&D, and they make even more profit.
The essential flaw here is that the system still uses the principle of majority trend to function. It breaks down what 'majority' means more than most systems, but it's all the same thing.
I've held off for years using a database to track my own massive music collection simply because its utility is dependent upon me creating my own 'music-type' categories. As soon as I apply those to the system, I've crippled the music itself by pigeon-holing it. And I would forever be redefining and updating my categories in a effort to fix this problem. Example. "Today I'm in the mood for something that is SEMI-TECHNO, MEDIUM INTENSITY, with a bit of PUNK or HIPHOP to it. It should feature a predominant use of GUITARs..." Better to keep it analog and keep it in my head. I certainly have more than 150 musical artists up there!

It's no wonder I never read the comments on slashdot any more.

Once Verisign quits doing it, I revert to the damned MSN page every time there's a type-o.
Why isn't anyone bitching about MS?
Sheesh!
