I have all my emails since 1990 or 1991:-/ and it's true that I use less and less emails...
I saved them in a mbox format and used a script to remove binary attachement (yeah, cat pictures and things like this). It's mainly text and can be highly compressed.
Absolutely right, I am using Tomato USB on both my WRT160N-v3 and E3000, there is also some interesting "mod" like [i]Toastman[/i] builds.
I have had a lot of problem with dd-wrt running on a WRT160N-v3, N was dropping about every hours, I tried dozens of build for more than a year before switching to TomatoUSB.
I am using TomatoUSB on both my E1000 and E3000, it's a so powerful firmware, and the GUI is really nicer than dd-wrt.
Also dd-wrt was unstable for me, they release version too often and sometimes they are buggy.
I am using the Toastman build of TomatoUSB, with IPv6, OpenVPN, QoS, all the bell and whistles.
They should start to re-enable it. I use XP on a netbook which has a ION, it's a very powerful GPU for a netbook, I can play movie on 1080p because it uses the GPU to render it. Flash video *were* also accelerated, but not now. Google decided that on XP, they disable all GPU acceleration. So now all the video (like youtube), all flash games, etc, are driven by the poor Atom...
Why they forced a disable is beyond me, there is no way to re-enable it except by going back to Chrome 7 or something like that.
... is doing the same thing and charge you $99 for it! So when the laptop you want has only "prepared box" left, you have to pay the "fee", or walk and find it elsewhere.
And since Chrome 10 or 11, they disabled GPU acceleration of flash video... so even if my ION laptop is highly capable of decoding 1080p, I can NOT watch youtube video in more than 360p. It has worked for years and they disabled it, shame...
Before someone ask, I have the latest nvidia driver, flash, I disabled the chrome black-list, etc.
I'm born in 1970 and went on the net in 1990, I know usenet pretty well (as well as gopher, and IRC) and I rememebr a.b.p.e.*:-)
What was epic in the 80s was the personnal computer like the C64 or the Amstrad CPC6128, the Z80 CPU, etc. I had an old 8086 PC with 2x 5¼ floppy and a monochrome monitor...
I don't need a Windows password using a weak algorithm, I have an encrypted partition with Truecrypt that ask a password at boot just after BIOS, mine is 24 characters, I am wondering what a GPU could do...
I live in QC yup, and here the monopoly is Bell (ADSL) and Videotron (cable), and they are about double price and half cap, compared to other provinces.

IIRC there was a group on usenet for this in the 80s or 90s, you could post a message, encoded with a key à la PGP, then everyone could access/read the encoded message, but only one person was able to decode it properly.
...using all kind of state-of-the-art HTML/CSS, by dozens of people, writting thousands of line of code, my login name which is Frédéric is now displayed Fr?d?ric in the header and on my control panel, because I guess it is too difficult, in 2011, to display accentuated characters...
ok... W7 is slow, and I can not watch videos with Ubuntu, I guess I will stay with XP then!
Also my netbook is an HP Mini 311, it has a 1366x768 11.6" screen and a ION chipset, I can watch 1080p and it uses only a few percent of the Atom power... This netbook is fantastic, if it dies I don't know if there is an equiv on the market now.

damn [i]...
I can add that my E3000 runs flawlessly in ABGN mode, no problem with 2.4GHZ and 5GHz, support USB drive sharing, etc.

I remember learning it in university in the 90s, I didn't really understand it :)

Really, those drive align perfectly on tracks and I was able to read old floppies first try with an LS120 drive.
I will run as a candidate for sure, but it's in 3+ years :-/
Not bad, you may have win a cookie!
It seems it's because they disabled h.264 codecs :-/

I remember too. I discovered /. in 97 or 98, when there was no username, no moderators, etc, I even exchanged some emails with rob at the time :-/
I agree, I tried a couple of thing to cut PCB, and a $50 wet tile saw is fantastic! It's quick and clean, this is what I use to cut PCB now.
It's nothing compared to the cost of A/C in tents in Afghanistan, $20 BILLION !!!!!!!! more than the whole NASA budget :-(((

Do you have W7 or XP? I have XP.

Many years ago with a 6 digits ID?

And I am Canadian!
in 2015, our monthly cap would have increased from 50GB/month to maybe 100GB/month, with $7 per additionnal GB, all of this for only $99/month!

Else I don't know what to do? I almost went to Digg! so please amazon guys, work on your stuff!
