My new company is selling round trips from New York --> London --> New York for $10. We've figured out a way to bypass the London leg while still getting you from New York to New York, and back again, with a minimum of fuss and muss. And we do it in record time! PM me for details.
The craziest use of the tech surely has to be RFID chips for Marks & Spencer suits -- you couldn't pay most people to wear one of them.
Did the submitter bother finishing the paragraph about Marks & Spencer suits?
It makes clear that "The retailer has avoided questions of privacy protection by attaching the tag to a label on the suit that can be cut off."
As in, I'm pretty sure they're not using RFID tags to allow evil cigar-smoking executive types to track how many cases of M&S brand vodka or frozen samosas I happen to buy the next time I wear one of their suits through an M&S grocery checkout line.
And personally, I'd be happy to get paid to wear one. Not only are they very well-made and well-designed suits compared to the typical Made in Korea store-brand stuff we get here in the US, but the eeevil RFID tag can be snipped off as soon as I'm out the door. That's much preferred to the sewn-in (into the seams) magnetic security sensor tags I've seen on some clothes in the past few years.
The religious right is closely allied to the Republican Party. Hmmmmmm, you think that's why nobody calls them the religious left?
There has never been a war on Christianity in this country, but militant people professing Christianity will take us there. Militant people professing religion I will grant you. But if you take a quick look around at the problem spots of the world it seems clear that the vast majority of the troublemakers certainly aren't Christians.
For what it's worth, when using DD-WRT with lots of P2P traffic it's recommended that you bump up the Maximum Ports parameter in the IP Filter Settings (under Administration/Management). The default is 512, but many people find they get the best P2P stability by setting it to the max of 4096.
Note that V23 SP1 is 6 weeks old and was not without its share of quirks. Check out the multilanguage updates if you want the latest and greatest:
I would also recommend using the smallest build that meets your requirements. If I'm just running an access point, for example, I find that the new micro build (which does not contain chillispot, nocat, rflow, kaid, samba client, SNMP, IPv6, MMC/SD Card Support, SSH, PPTP/PPTP Client, or UPnP) has everything I need.
It's hard to find any mention of this on the dd-wrt site
Perhaps that's because most people don't have any problems? I've got a v1.1 out on extended loan to a friend who's running both PPTP and SSH server on it, and it's solid as a rock even with the latest 6/26 DD-WRT mini multilanguage build. It simply depends on how much you're asking it to do and which build you're using.
I've been lurking at DD-WRT for over a year and depending on which build-du-jour I've played with there have definitely been some occasional issues with slow interface response, inaccurate CPU utilization stats, PPTP not working, etc. With builds from earlier this year, for example, my Buffalo WBR2-G54 (which runs at 200MHz) had problems similar to what you describe. Lately, BrainSlayer and the team seem to have tightened everything up and I have no problems on any of the hardware platforms I use and manage for friends: WRT54G v1.1/v2.2/v3, WRT54GS v2/v2.1/v4, Buffalo WBR2-G54/WHR-G54S, and Belkin F5D7230.
Could be... But based on what I've seen in the past week with the A380, these days it seems that all Boeing needs to do to get an advantage over Airbus is to sit back and wait for EADS incompetence, overconfidence and corruption to bollocks things up for them. No corporate espionage required.
I assume that the irony is lost on a obvious scholar such as yourself, but I find it hilarious when you bemoan the fact that Americans won't rise up and revolt, while at the same time being such a blubbering little pussy that you won't even out yourself among friendlies in the predictably left-leaning reactionary US-bashing circle jerk that is the comment section on Slashdot.
Ah, yes... The spirit of Guy Fawkes lives on in you, AC. Keep fighting fascism, brave soldier!
I think you mean suppressed:) although I still disagree and I think you've picked a bad example.

The poll wasn't taken by Environmental Defense, they are just reporting it. I believe the poll was done by Pew or someone similar.
I think it's pretty clear that Environmental Defense paid for the poll, however. I'm not claiming shenanigans in this case because I simply don't care, but you always have to remember that any survey firm worth their fees will be able to toy with the sample or bias the questions to end up with results close to what the survey sponsor is looking for.
Boy-howdy... Your eloquence and obvious deep knowledge of the subject has convinced me. I'll ring up President Bush and ask him to release all of the unlawful combatants if you agree to one condition: you have to let them live in your house and your neighborhood side-by-side with your friends and family for the next 5 years. Deal?
As for your bleeding-heart cause du jour being more important than Razorback2 getting carted away, WTF??? Get your priorities straight, AC. Don't you know that potential Near Earth Object impact and DHMO toxicity are where it's at as far as the cutting edge of humankind's worries? You're, like, so 2004!
It's not subsidised by the state, it is mostly paid for by license payers.
Oh please... It's paid for by license payers who are compelled by the government to either pay the license or face penalties (up to a £1000 fine with the [slim] possibility of jail time for fine defaulters.) Those license fees cover 75% of the operating expenses for UK Public Service Broadcasting. Explain how that's any different from a tax on TV owners to subsidize public broadcasting? If it walks like a state subsidy and quacks like a state subsidy, then it most defintely is a state subsidy--"a grant by a government to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed advantageous to the public."
re: "there's no going back", that's balderdash. I think we're getting hung up on the "perma" in permafrost. Obviously, permafrost isn't ever permanently frosty and is subject to global chilling/warming cycles. How else would something like a wooly-mammoth-cicle ever get created? Tipping point or not, we're tilting at windmills if we think there's much we can do to stop Mother Nature.
Ummm, no. You posted AC because you realized your post was ridiculous and didn't want it tied to your actual identity. Fortunately for you (and too bad for all the rest of us), here in the US your freedom to say stupid shit is clearly alive and well. And guess what? Armed anarchist revolution had absolutely nothing to do with that or any other freedom you enjoy.

I'll have to disagree with you on the "good site" description. After browsing through some of the absolutely insane rantings on that site I can see why you felt the need to post as AC, though.
What alternate universe are you inhabiting? Ever since new registrars came on the scene a few years back, I've regularly registered domains for like USD$6.00 How could you possibly consider that "artificially high"?
