    If net neutrality is lost, you can expect such p2p networks to be throttled back to the point where they are completely ineffective (if the packets even reach you).

    Is there a usable Linux driver

    As long as you plan on staying with Xorg 6.8.x, you should be fine. Anything greater and you might be one of the many, many people (myself included) who suffer hard lock-ups when X shuts down or you switch VTs while X is running. I have tried many combinations of kernels and versions of fglrx against a couple versions of Xorg (6.8.2 and modular), and only 6.8.2 was stable. YMMV, but this has been a fairly common issue for a number of folks. Although this makes it sound like Xorg is the problem, I don't believe it is. IIRC, someone over at the Gentoo forums traced it to a call made within the driver.

    I've since given up on running modular X with my ATI card and chose to mask it until my next upgrade (which will be NVidia, no doubt). It's been a month or two, so this may have been fixed (though I doubt it). If anyone has an update on that, please do tell.

    Good luck. :)

    From the website (but not the article):

    UPDATE - June 2006:

    Just to give some additional information on John Boko. As I write, I have been in contact with "John" posing as a fellow scammer looking for work. John has just offered me a job as just one of several of his European representatives to help cash and transfer payments from scammed victims for him. I was offered between $2,000 and $3,000 per month just for the simple job of gathering victim's payments together and forwarding the money into his bank account.

    Someone over at the Gentoo forums managed to get a stripped down build of Gentoo running in a chroot on the WRT54G. I was tempted to try myself, but I spend my time playing with Gentoo on my 3 NSLU2s instead.

    UML is like C++ for diagramming.


    That is a problem to a programmer? In any case, UML is hardly that complicated. All it takes to obtain a basic understanding of class diagrams, for example, is a couple of hours reading "UML Distilled" or various sources freely available via Google. Having a simple (yes, simple), graphical way to explain objects and relationships is well worth the investment. It's like design patterns. Sure, you don't need to know them, but it sure makes things a lot simpler when you do.
