Wow, and to think the 8' one a buddy of mine and I built cost about 1/2 that and took us maybe 2 hours max from start to finish (complete with pegboard and outlets).
Met my wife via one back in 1992 -- AfterHours BBS (512 area code, R.I.P. Tombob). I think at its heyday the sysop had 24 lines (running MajorBBS). We'd get together once a week for some face-to-face chat and take over the the Incredible Flying Pizza Society for a few hours. Sure, I played around with other BBS', but nothing compared to chat.
The real important thing is to change the ssid and add a password.
That is, until your AP or your cards start dropping connection. Call or email tech support & they'll tell you to set everything back to default for a few days to see if the problem goes away. If it does, well thats "..your solution.."
The only secure LinkSys WAP is one that's unplugged.
I got an iRiver 390T for Christmas and they neglected to put headphones in the package. I got them to mail me a set. If the cord's short and the headphones are uncomfortable, maybe I would've been better off without them?
Yep. And since the bastards won't let anyone redistribute it, the one guy who managed to download the thing before the site started shitting itself can't post a torrent.
I think mine got as far as 48% before it crapped out.
No hits for WMINSTALLER at filemirrors.com or filesearching.com either.
...for DSL at $27/mo. If only SBC's pre-sales would actually answer my questions via email.
My wife spoke to a salesrep who claimed a bunch of shit that was against what is/was in the TOS/AUP. When I emailed to get someone from presales to answer some questions to clear this up, the twits it got routed to kept wanting me to call some 800#.
Uhm, hello? Its one thing to promise WTF you want to me over the phone. Give me 30 days to test the service vs. RR, a way to drop your service without having to pay through the nose if I think its shit, and put all of it in writing.
At least with RR I can drop them at any time without a penalty. Until the DSL providers start offering this ability, people like me will stay with RR. I just hope that if the prices continue to drop for DSL (or stay way down) RR will have to come down too.
.. than the judge simply throwing the case out. Let's hope he orders SCO to pay IBM's legal fees, forces SCO to require court clearance to sue anyone else, and orders/suggests an inquiry into SCOs stock price manipulation in addition to throwing out the case.
That's just it -- forwarding it to the local IT guy (unless you're the type of user that makes an ass of himself) explaining that you haven't a clue as to where they got your email, etc would be enough to CYA.
As for "assuming that receiving pornographic spam is the end result of visiting porn sites on company time" - uhm, simply visiting a pr0n site while on the clock isn't going to instantly give someone your email address.
If you get an explicit email, how exactly do you show it to your boss, without looking guilty yourself?
C'mon, how is this a difficult question?
You simply forward the email headers to your IT department (ok, not all but someone you're confident is capable of handling it) and strip the offending images/text. CC: your boss for good measure and state in the email that you received a bit of junkmail with nudity/etc.
My subdivision is a little over 3 years old. We're on all the other maps, but not MapQuest. Repeated emails to them to get this corrected have gone nowhere.
Odd thing is, if I map to the Albertson's near my house and then scroll down in their map, I see our subdivision. If I map to our address, none of the streets display.
Kinda sucks when you tell someone you need to give them directions when they say they'll just map it using MapQuest.
At least MapBlast works. Whether or not it'll do better now that Microsoft owns them remains to be seen.
If the sun were to explode, it'd expand first. When it did this, it would expand beyond the distance that we are from it.
In other words, there'd be no chance of us freezing to death - we would've been vaporized a long time ago.
The only good thing is, once it started we'd never know.
I vaguely recall seeing something on a science channel some number of years ago about this. The sun will eventually expand, doubling or tripling in size and then implode, creating a black hole.
..I ever got a Christmas Bonus from was BMC Software. The way they did it was everyone upto a certain salary level got a $500 bonus. Anyone making over $60K (I believe, might've been higher) didn't get the bonus.
And they held killer Christmas parties. Everyone dressed to the 9s, free food, two free drinks (and then its a cash bar). A separate party for the kids with a visit from Santa and presents. Hell, the 1st year I worked there (actually, it was my 3rd day) they had the Christmas party in Houston. They paid for everyone in Austin to come over (reimbursed $.33/mile. I made money by driving to Houston for that party) and put everyone up in the hotel the party was at for free.
I can't imagine many companies can afford to do this now.

I've replaced the case on mine 3 times. Not easy, definitely like gutting a fish and expecting it to swim again, but hey ... can't do it with a Dell!
Sure you can. I worked in the testing lab at Dell (testing laptops and optical drives for laptops) and it's hella easy to replace components.
Anyone have what iD is claiming are the minimums to run this?
Wow, and to think the 8' one a buddy of mine and I built cost about 1/2 that and took us maybe 2 hours max from start to finish (complete with pegboard and outlets).
Welcome to LinkSys product "quality"!
My BEFW11S4 Rev 1 has *never* worked properly. Their response to its lack of quality? Redesign and release of another WAP/Router.
Unfortunately, I couldn't return it (too late in the game). Next time, I'm buying D-Link or someone else.
Proof-positive that there's an opening in Richland Hills for anyone who knows how to disable windows messenger.
Get your resumes ready!

Yeah, I know they hide 'em in the package. Looked and they weren't there.
No biggie. They're mailing me anohter set.

Therefore it leaves us with "SCO is a bunch on incompitent morons" version of the events
Where's the 'Obvious' label from Fark when you need it?

Jeeze.
I'd also suggest Spybot Search & Destroy -- I've had it catch stuff Adaware didn't.
Nah, don't quit. Just train them at a level their skills will allow. If their skills are sub-par, then train them sub-par.

3. Profit!!

Their LineDrive maps are better anyway.
Better yet, say you're on a date with said girl.
You go back to her place, things get hot and heavy.
You end up slipping a couple of digits into her.
Your phone rings.
Hilarity ensues.

Ok, so you can't turn your head into a speaker, but you can with practically any smooth surface.
And for a lot less than $1500.
It wasn't a 'Ghost of Christmas Present' - it was an FBI Agent.

I mean, I'm all for getting some free software and hardware for my PC.
