Not a damned one of them can remain stable and online for more than an hour, except when configured as a simple wireless bridge device.
Just install network traffic loggers on each machine. Do some simple math at the end of the month.
Interesting. I don't actually use the WRT54GL (any router with a Broadcom chip will work), I use an Asus something-or-other (whatever was cheap). I use Tomato (it offers printer support for the USB port on the router), and I've never had any stability issues - it has been up for a couple of months last time I checked.
Just don't use a cellphone. Or a landline. Or cable TV. Smoke signals are right out, but Semaphores between the hours of 10am and 4pm will still be allowed. (Tin cans and string will be allowed, as long as you don't have to cross a public street and it's not a permanent installation)
I enjoy a good semaphore production of Wuthering Heights.
Yeah, your tracking data is anonymous... until it shows your anonymous but unique tracking data number driving 80MPH and then parking at the same house every evening.
That's why I always park on my neighbor's lawn. Just in case. Also, free car wash every other day.
Depends on whether the people whose doors are getting kicked down exercise their second amendment rights.
If enough of those raids backfire, then maybe the cost will be seen as too high.
So you're suggesting that law enforcement officers executing a search warrant are fair game to be shot? That's the most idiotic thing I've heard today; granted, it is still early.
They're not comparing to your dad's turntable. They're using fancy turntables with cartridges that cost more than your computer. Under ideal conditions, vinyl can sound really good.
Plus, vinyl's got the electrolytes that your ears crave!
For measuring the strength of materials, the stress strain curve shows the amount of stress as a function of strain. Essentially, it shows how much force per cross sectional area (pressure) the material can handle as it stretches. This isn't quite as simple as it sounds because the cross sectional area decreases as a function of strain too. This is known as Poisson's ratio.
That part is easy. The part I couldn't understand is what each of the different lines represents. Sorry, didn't find G-ODA(1) vs. G-ODA(2) to be terribly informative (and it has been too long since my engineering classes to recall what the stress-strain curve for steel looks like, so not terribly useful without a directly comparable diagram for at least some form of steel).
Aug 4th, Aug 29th, April 19th... none of it really matters. SkyNet was sued by Apple, Microrsoft, Oracle, Motorola and a variety of other companies for violating numerous patents. This resulted in an injunction against importing the killer robots into our space-time continuum. We've got plenty of time before this whole thing actually settles.
Turns out killer robots are no match for killer lawyers.
Editor is missing the point that Tatooine didn't have any plants or trees at all.
Sure they did. Plants were visible in frame 18720 of the 2003 DVD release of Episode IV. In fact, they were clearly visible for a full 27 frames, but I think you will find they are in the best focus in frame 18720. Frame 18728 is actually better in the most recent release, but I don't think anyone really uses those as a benchmark.
My biggest problem with blu-ray early on was that the first generation of players was awful. They were slow as Christmas (WAY slower than the first generation of DVD players) for one thing. Newer players are considerably faster and come with a lot more features. Unfortunately, it doesn't help that blu-ray discs still come with forced trailers (way more common with blu-rays than with DVD's) from most studios (Universal and a few others being notable exceptions).
I haven't really been bothered by forced trailers. You can always skip the chapter even when you can't go directly to a menu, and really we've been dealing with this since the days of VHS. Though it does seem to be more prevalent with blu-rays than with DVDs.
When it comes to this stuff we drive cars until its to costly to keep them on the road, we use computers as long as possible, that means not getting a new one every 24 months and trying to make software more efficient so we don't need so damn many. All those unneeded animations impose a COST, they are not free.
Damn straight. I use AdBlock because I'm Green, dammit!
Just tax energy use more and energy use goes down. And don't forget to close the corporate loopholes.
Much more important is to close the personal loopholes, to avoid situations like in California, where "deregulation" meant keeping retail prices regulated at artificially low values.
Only problem is, the politicians who make those regulations are elected by the people who use that electricity. The simpler solution is doing exactly what they did: increase regulation and call it "deregulation", that way everyone is happy. Until they run out of electricity.
You seem to have missed the entire point of the article you linked to.
The only effect of the still-regulated retail price was to stick the utilities with enormous bills instead of the consumers. As the article clearly states, the cause of the mess was not the regulated retail price, it was the unregulated price charged by the producers. They figured out that they could make more money by artificially limiting supply (which they accomplished by collectively taking something like 30-40% of power plants in California off-line at the same time for "regularly scheduled maintenance") than they could by actually generating enough power to meet demand. And that is exactly what they did. It was 100% a result of the generators taking advantage of deregulation, and literally colluding to screw over the public. Had the retail price been deregulated as well, the only difference would have been that the utilities would just have passed the extortion-level rates onto their customers instead of getting stuck with the enormous bill - but it was largely their own fault, as they participated in the artificial power shortage as well (in an attempt to force complete deregulation through, claiming that it was the result of partial deregulation that we had rolling blackouts).
Turns out there's a few centuries worth of material freely available. I might be 70 years behind, but I don't see myself running out of material any time soon...
Just kidding. I don't even have an ebook reader (although I have read a few classics on my computer). But that's what I'd do. Heck, I think even Amazon has a large collection of out-of-copyright books that you can freely download in proper e-book format.
I agree completely to the idea of a companion e-book. Something like what the movie guys (yeah I know bad, bad, movie guys) tried awhile ago, bundling an electronic license/version with the DVD.
Tried a while ago? Still trying, seems like. Every movie I buy these days (blu-ray) seems to come with a digital copy and a fricking DVD. Neither of which I've ever used, but hey - at least they include them.

I have four WRT54GL routers running DD-wrt.
Not a damned one of them can remain stable and online for more than an hour, except when configured as a simple wireless bridge device.

US$23M hmmm given an average US textbook price of say $100 now, how much hyper-inflation would result in this price in say 10 years?
I don't know; the finance textbook is $2 million.

Nah, the Reps are too busy trying to bury their Trump card.
I'm pretty sure Trump is part cyborg.
I know, I know, part cyborg doesn't really make sense... unless you're talking about his hair.

Awesome. Experts exchange now blocked! This has immediately become my favorite google search feature.
I always read the URL as Expert Sex Change, so have never visited... So you're saying it isn't worth visiting anyway?
That may be, but to ensure my tablet is not subject to a rounded corners suit, I'll design it with razor edges.

You'll just be opening yourself up to a lawsuit from Motorola.
He said information from infected systems was sent to computers in Texas.
Anyone else get an image of an SNL-esque GWB cackling in front of his computer as his screen lights up with ill-gotten Iranian data?
Wrong in so many ways.
WOOOOOOOSH
Yes, you're right, sometimes the steam lines leak.
Buy more stuff from us, and we'll sell other things to you faster.
I can't help thinking that Portal 2 must be a dud, with all the advertising and marketing gimmicks surrounding it.
Still hoping, though.

And if you have a Kindle, Amazon has a collection of free classics.
So where do you get your E-Books from then?
Google Books?
