  1. Damn! on Bill Would Require ISPs, Wi-Fi Users To Keep Logs · · Score: 0

    https://192.168.1.1/Log.asp

    So would I have to take a screenshot of my Logging configuration to prove that I have logging on? The WRT54G v2.0 isn't exactly the king of detailed logging.

    I'm not expecting this to pass.

  2. First post! on Obama Anti-Trust Chief on Google the Monopoly Threat · · Score: 2, Informative

    First post!

    Last I checked, Google isn't forcing vendors into signing Google-only contracts to bundle only Google software with new computers.

  3. Another tax model on New York State Budget Relies On Entertainment Tax · · Score: 1

    They should just go the RIAA path: add taxes on all CD-Rs, mp3 players, audio recorders, computers, or anything else that could potentially be used to violate copyright.

  4. Can't be that hard on Next G8 President Wants To "Regulate the Internet" · · Score: 3, Funny

    C'mon, censoring the Internet can't be that hard. Just get a Websense filtering appliance and stick it in the Internet's MDF.

  5. Dehumidifier? on Machine Condenses Drinking Water Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    My $140 dehumidifier can create up to three gallons a day here in humid Florida. At 500 W, though, I'd pay the electric utility about $1.70 for those three gallons of water, when I could get the same thing from the water utility for half a cent.

    My wife used to drink bottled water, then we got a pour-in water filter. Same damn thing at 1/1000 the cost. :-)

  6. Only if... on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 1

    If Comcast is going to cap transfer at 250 GB/mo, I ask only one thing:

    - My hosting provider limits me to 20 GB per month, and I can use CPanel to see how much I've used that month.

    - Verizon limits me to 450 peak, off-network minutes and 50 off-network SMS messages per month. I can request a free SMS message at any time to see what I've used so far--even log on at Verizon's website to check on this.

    Give me a simple interface I can Web into to see how much I've used, and I'll be fine. I doubt I get anywhere close to 250 GB/mo...

  7. Re:A few practical tips on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A quick trip to Home Depot solved my problem, though slightly ugly. Two 4" square electrical boxes and quad-outlet cover plates, four duplex outlets, a 9' 14 AWG power cord, a few feet of 14/2 NM, an NM clamp, a 1/2" rigid conduit nipple, and some nuts, washers, and bolts. A bit of electrical know-how and drilling, and I wind up with 8 outlets mounted to the side of my desk. It's better than a power strip because it won't flop around/fall behind the desk. And its better than a mounted power strip because it's not a cheap piece of plastic. It is, however, plugged into a power strip/surge protector under the desk... And it's on the side of my desk facing away from the office door, so the Wife Acceptance Factor is quite high.

  8. Still working... on @Home Network Approaching Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Well, it's 1136 the morning of 12/01, and my @home cable modem seems to still be working--i'm using it now. Plus, my @home.com e-mail address is still sending and receiving e-mail. So I guess the panic was for nothing.
