You want a WRT54G, which can be had dirt cheap, and be flashed to many specialized Linux distributions, some of which have LEAF. One example is http://openwrt.org/.
Anybody still running an old standalone computer as a Linux software firewall probably pays enough in electricity to buy a new WRT54G or similar router every few months.
A few months back, I unchecked the Zonk checkbox and then the kdawson checkbox since both "editors" seem to be clueless. However, there was a time a week or two ago when I loaded up the Slashdot homepage and realized that the newest stories were almost two days old. I thought maybe my browser wasn't refreshing, so after hitting F5 a few times and clearing my cache with no effect, I thought someone must have died or something. It took me another minute or two to remember I had muted Zonk and kdawson. After I went and rechecked the boxes again, I reloaded the page to discover that they were the only two to have posted stories in that whole time.
So, yeah, uncheck Zonk and you miss half of Slashdot. Uncheck kdawson and you miss the other half. So, you've got to choose between having the sensationalistic retard dupes and asshattery of Zonk and kdawson, or having no Slashdot at all. There is a third option, of course. Dump Zonk and kdawson, and let the few remaining intelligent editors make up the difference.
An apartment complex may not be able to ban you from having a satellite dish, but they sure as heck can prevent you from bolting it down anywhere on their property. You have a legal right to have it and use it, but you have no legal right to drill holes in other people's property. So, in an apartment, you'd pretty much be limited to hanging it out your window, or sticking it in a non-permanent mount on your porch or balcony if you have one. Then, to get the wiring back inside, you're stuck going through a window or door in some other non-permanent fashion. That's what the GP was referring to; not that people are being prevented by regulations, but that the unfeasibility of satellite in an apartment complex is what makes cable the default option for the vast majority of apartment dwellers.
But, to everyone who's sitting there going "oh thats crap! what is slashdot doing?" remember you have a bit of a say in that too! So dont just sit there blaming slashdot, help fix the problem...
How exactly can I help? How do I have a say? I've been saying that Zonk needs to be fired for at least a year now, and he's still here. So, tell me again how I can actually help fix the problem?
Have you ever looked inside a laptop? Everything is next to everything in there. And I couldn't tell from your comment if you thought the battery would make the hard drive hot or the other way around. Either way, neither of those components produce nearly as much heat as the CPU, which, again, is pretty much next to everything in there.
It seems you don't understand the difference between the words "all" and "most". GGP said "most custom business apps are written to Windows", and you're frothing at the mouth trying to say "See! Not all business apps are writtent to Windows!" which doesn't invalidate the original point at all.
if people from Europe came over and started exclusively using our currency for a long enough period, they might not like it at first but I argue that they'd get as used to it as they are to their own currency now.
5) All-mail: this is a system that is being pioneered by Washington State... You mean Oregon, right?
In my opinion, and yes IAAEP (I am an Election Professional)... Then I'll assume that's just a brain fart and you really do know the difference between the Pacific Northwest states.
The hypen's in the wrong place. It should be "Most High-Tech Urinal", not "Most-High Tech Urinal". I know the "editors" don't actually edit, but I'm wondering if they even have the necessary command of the language to edit should they choose to do so. Yeah, yeah, I must be new here...
Um... what about when *I* am the source, and I, or my own works, are the only cites available?
Then your topic is not notable enough for inclusion. Seriously, if your topic was important enough to be included in an encyclopedia, somebody, somewhere would have written about it.
And most ATMs don't use OS/2 anymore, either. Pretty much any made in the last few years use Windows CE or Windows XP Embedded. There are certainly some old OS/2 based machines still in use, but they haven't been made that way in years.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: duress code. A pin number that works perfectly well, and gives no outward sign of being used, but flags the transaction(s) as being 'under duress', kicks in a high-resolution camera (say, in an ATM kiosk) and summons the police.
This was covered recently at snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/pinalert.asp) . In short, it's already implemented in a few places, but is a bad idea for several reasons, not the least of which being that the whole idea is under patent.
Slashdot Mirror
[blockquote]I have, and I am frightened by the fact that they did not contradict even one word of what I said. Not one.[/blockquote]
I have (ER docs), and they did contradict every word of what you said. Every one.
Can you offer any proof for any of the accusations that you've made in this post?

Nah, digg or ebaums is way worse.
I like Slashdot. I want it to be better. That's what would make me happy.

Says the guy who cites Google Trends lists of popular search terms as the source that Linux has higher desktop marketshare than MacOS.

Seriously, WTF are you talking about? 98? Does your calendar perhaps count the number of years since 1904 or something?

So does that mean that Osama will actually have a worse reputation in the international community now?
You must be new here...
Holy crap! That's one of the uglier things I've ever seen.

Unless, of course, they're blind.

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome spammer?

Do you have a cite for that? I had never heard that before. And is this a federal law, or state?
