So, first they sabotage their $40 WRT54G model by making it impossible to buy a "good" version with any certainty unless you're physically holding the box to check the serial number. I can't buy one online now, because I have no idea if I'll get stuck with a v5. Then they re-release the old model, but with a price tag that's $30 higher? Brilliant.
Why create an unnecessary point of discontinuity in the product line? They should have kept linux on the WRT54G, and called the VxWorks model the "WRT54GSUX".
Can't you just turn off DHCP, and share the connection from a PC? You might have to change the router's IP address also, if the PC demands to have 192.168.0.1.
I've uploaded 56MB total, but there aren't any other nodes at 100% yet. There doesn't seem to be a lot of inter-node cooperation, so it's looking more like bittrickle than bittorrent at the moment...

All the digital HDTV is compressed; it wouldn't fit in the spectrum otherwise. The broadcasters in your area are just using a better compression level than the cable providers.
I've seen OTA digital myself, and it's pretty awesome. I would have never imagined being able to pick up full-resolution HDTV with a set of rabbit-ear antennas.
I suspect that these new broadcasts will lead to a mass exodus (or at least a minor exodus) from the cable and satellite networks as people realize they can get better quality with no monthly fee.
Granted, you won't get as many channels, but there are a lot of people who only really watch the network channels anyway, and switched to cable/satellite because they think the fuzzy analog TV only belongs in trailer parks.

Perhaps they should change their name to "Not Attending Space Anymore"
I see nothing in the article or the datasheet to indicate that this is a WiFi camera. 802.11* isn't the only way to send stuff through the air.
I think that guy definitely needs a thesaurus.

Earth has billions of people on it.
Is it really a problem if a few take an uncommon path? His childhood won't be "better" or "worse" than yours, just different.
Satellite radio may be digital, but it typically sounds worse than FM, after they compress the streams down to 48kbps or so.
If the sun relied only on gravitational potential energy, then it would have burned a long time ago.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to read every comment on slashdot. Checking for dupes in comments is even harder than checking for dupes in stories.
Why don't they just go back to naming it after the release year, and avoid all the legal problems?
After all, Windows 2017 has a nice ring to it...

Ah, speeds are finally picking up now. I should probably choose a chunk size smaller than 256KiB in the future.

Now I see 68.2.241.* also.
Mine's uploading now! Hello there, 24.19.25.*. Sorry it's only 40KB/sec.
Does mine work?
Honda's ASIMO robot isn't "adult size"... it's only about 4 feet tall.
Been there, done that.

Just ask Frink:

Here's a torrent for over 2 hours of music ripped from the new game:

I've heard good things about the "Silver Sensor" antenna, marketed by Zenith in the US.

They're not open-source, but Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative include the codecs without the crufty players: http://www.codecguide.com/about_qt.htm http://www.codecguide.com/about_real.htm
