There are two correct solutions. One is that Netgear should operate their own time server and hard code that server as a secondary or fallback time server. The primary time server should be aquired from the internet service provider when they get their network ip address via dhcp.

The free market idea is working well I believe. Perhaps at the expense of the big record labels and ultimately the big movie labels of the US.
The problem they have encountered is that their profit margin is high enough in the US that they believe that it should be that high elsewhere in the world. This is regardless of the fact that the artists they are promoting tend to suck these days.
I honestly believe that if they spent less money on lawyers, and less money on promoting the artist of the month, and instead invested that money into getting more artists available for music and movies, that they would have a higher profit and be able to undercut sales of competetors. Granted there are some who would consider this dumping, but there is enough evidence posted to a wide variety of sources (usenet, various web pages,/., etc) that shows that the actual cost to produce and distribute the CD's that they are selling is significantly less than what the customer is being charged (as in an order of magnitude less.)
If they are loosing court battles outside of the US because of their own narrow belief that the world owes them sales, I believe that they should loose. When enough of the world recognizes that the WIPO and varients of the DMCA are simply agents of US Mega-Corps that have only their own intersts at heart, and tells the US Mega-Corps to go xxxx themselves, perhaps the US Govornment will recognize that they are in a loosing position wrt laws and trade agreements and get their act together to be competitive again.
Sadly being a citizen of the US, I don't expect that will happen within my expected life time.
Recomendation: Go to http://www.jabber.org and follow the link on the left about downloading a client. By default the page that comes up lists a dozen or so jabber (and jabber capable) clients to look over, and gives you a feel for what features each client provides.
Personally I recomend giving several different clients a try, and use the one that fits your needs best.
Since I happen to be using GAIM on a Linux box, I don't think i would be the best choice for providing a recomendation on a Windows system. Obviously with a few exceptions, most of the developers will recomend their own. (The exceptions would be the developers who realize that you have a need that is not provided by their client yet.)
Assuming that we get the fact that Mr. Ball's buisness is not in Germany, we can probably move on.
The BSA has gotten some powers that give them rather wide lattitude in their procedures. Things like making the defendent pay their legal bills from day one if they fight, and the fact that there is no precedence for the defendent to win mean that lawyers will advise their customers that it is better for the customer to just pay the fine than to fight the case.
I do agree with you that having the plaintiff accompany the marshals into the business that they have gotten a warrent against seems to be abuse of power, I suspect that until a business succesfully defends themselves in court, and includes that act as unlawful search and seesure practices, it will continue.
It was about six to twelve months ago but I picked up an "I/O Magic" 52x24x52 usb (1.1/2.0) cd-rw drive at Office Depot.

As far as network connections, Ethernet twisted pair with decent cable has a range of up to 100 meters, so unless you have a distance of over a football field between your PS2 and whatever you are using for your network server and hub/switch, you should be alright with either cabling, or an ethernet-wifi bridge.

ocatal for dec 10, hex 0x0a and bin b1010 would be o12. for my next trick I will use the entire alphabet and number system to show that the base sixty [0-9][A-Z][a-x] representation would end as 'A', but I don't know what the prefix would be.
Just as a reminder, 802.11a is in a different frequency spectrum than 802.11b and g. 5 ghz as compared to 2.4ghz. There is no overlaping a channel with b and g channels.
I do like the idea however. I will take a look at the company.
For those who understand how this works, it is not a bad thing. However the hardware is being marketed to the general public.
As a result you can expect that people who see the 5 x faster than b are going to completely skip the small text that disclaims this on the back of the box. I think everyone would be surprised if this did not include a significant number of ostensibly technically inclined writers who will report that they did not see the improvements advertised, and who will subsequently give the technology a bad rap.
One fix for this would be to make APs that ran dual modes, but on different channels. For example 'b' on channel 3 and 'g' on channel 9. The AP would have to be able to buffer traffic between the two channels, but it would have to do so if it were acting as a repeater in any case, which I believe it has to to operate in both b and g modes.
I do not know if this is likely to happen, or is part of the spec already. If it is, then people should expect to see a significant performance boost.
There are two ways that Linux can become part of a profitiable business plan. Sales of Linux, and Use of Linux to support operations. When it gets down to the bare wall however, sales of Linux are to allow others to save money by using Linux to support operations.
SCO's suit with IBM does not directly impact either method of making money off of Linux. The decision to sell "Licences" to end users does affect the cost of Linux in support of operations.
I am sure that a careful read of the FAQ on SCO's licence will reveal whether the licence requires an annual renual or not. If so, then it appears that the licence is crafted to make Linux more costly than using Windows.
If the licence is for annual terms, I would like to point out that people who choose to purchase the licence are going to pay the $699 now, (lower per processor for the next couple then up to $750 per cpu after 8 cpus) plus in all likelyhood at least that much a year from now as the case is going to be before the judge in somewhat more than a year, and if it gets delayed, (which I would suggest that you should expect) quite a bit longer than that. It is possible that the licencing fees are designed to pay for SCO's attourny fees.
I believe the original comment was in respect to the comunications receiver that Uhura used. It looked like a cylinder with fins radiating perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder in a double cone shape, that leaned down and forward of the ear. Occasionally Uhura would "adjust" the frequency response, or range by touching and turning various fins.
Personally I think the fins looked more like a heat radiator than a radio antena, but then what do I know.
Cell phones have already looked like the individual long range communicators from TOS for years. I think we are all waiting on the communicators that recognize their owner by genetic scanning prior to authorizing use now for years.
Might I point out that I did not say there was backlash. However because of the reports of the "white van or truck" the police apparently did not notice the vehicle that the sniper(s) did use even though they did stop the vehicle on at least one occasion.
A more "reasonable" approach would have been to know which actual vehicles were in the area at the times of the shootings, and by process of elimination drop the total number of vehicles down to three or four by the third killing. However the resources needed for such knowledge aquisition are back up in the troubling range again.
I would think that the witch hunt for white trucks and vans during the Washington Sniper hunt would have created a large enough negative response to this that every state legislator would recognize the idiocy of being able to list all owners of such vehicles within a 10 mile radius of an incident.
For those few who are not aware, the snipers were driving a blue Chevy Celebrity (large car) not a van or truck as initially indicated.
I will leave it to others to document the problems the initial reports caused for people who had vehicles that matched the initial descriptions.
Feynman introduced his sister to astronomy by giving her a college text and telling her to read from the begining till she couldn't understand what was going on, then start from the begining again. (I think this was in his "What do you care..." book.)
I ran across a number of softcover books in the mid 80s that were basically stories where the protaganist was dropped on an island with amnisia, and he had to help the islanders (or countryman) solve various problems that ultimately involved most of the major areas of mathematics including basic algebra, trig and calculus. Some plane geometry and I would not be surprised if there was some Boolean algebra as well. You were expected to follow along and do some of the work as well. These were in fairly large format softcover, similar to college text workbooks. (8.5"x11")
An LCD panel you mount on your monitor frame that provides you with notification of things like system temp, new mail, etc. This panel can sync to your pda as you walk in the door, letting you know of low importance information.
You add a weather station transmiter over by the garage, it normaly communicates with a base station, but can also talk to your computer. How about having your computer notice that the temp is below -10 C, and it kicks in the block heater on your car in the garage a couple of hours before your alarm clock kicks in.
Your TV receiver monitors CNBC during the day, (while it is "off") and collects news text reports that relate to the stocks you own, and sends a formated report to your printer.
Your brother decides that AOL isn't for him any more and jumps to MSN, who sends an e-mail update to all the people in his address book, including your own address. Your procmail script realizes what is going on, and sends sync messages to your cell phone, pda, and the e-mail clients on your laptop and various workstations about your house.
How about a flash memory pen drive that you dump your playlist (not music files) to, that your home stereo and car stereo both can use and will update with position information so that when you go from one to the other you just continue from where the other system left off. Car and home stereos would use hard drive based systems that would use other network infrastructure to remain syncronized with your library of music, radio shows, and audio books.
Ok, none of this _requires_ a different rf platform to work with, it can all be done with the existing systems. These are just some other ideas.
First Linux gets deployed for testing in a test lab at Microsoft.
In order to get it's performance down to a level that they can compare Microsoft software to it they start storing internal documents on it and tell internal users to use that store to stay current.
Since the internal servers are now getting fewer hits, they start consolidating some of the services they had spread across several servers onto fewer servers, freeing up those servers.
A few of the free servers get rouge installs of Linux with Samba, and people discover that they can actually store files on these servers with some reliable expectation of seeing the files again a couple of minutes down the line.
The Micorsoft Win2k+3 servers start to respond even faster to the test systems and more consolidation goes on.
Someone in the test lab isn't happy that the Linux boxes are still outperforming the Win2k+3 boxen, so he convinces management to use them as DHCP servers for the campus.
This frees up even more of the internal Win2k+3 servers from consolidation, and someone says, let's show that SQL Server is better than (insert favorite Open Sourc or proprietary RDB engine that runs on Linux here) and people in the company realize they are actually getting close to real time results off of these servers, and start migrating applications over to them.
Since Microsoft is trying to move to a dbfs anyway, even more of the internal infrastructure starts getting moved over to Linux as the original Microsoft OS servers are relieved of the duties that they were originally tasked with.
Marketing comes along and asks how the new Windows 2K+3 is going, and IT is able to say with a straight face:
"We were able to consolidate the entire campus server farm down to a single system runing Win2k+3. And since no-one in house is actually using it, response time and recovery from failures has become a non-issue. We are saving millions of dollars every year because the quiet migration to an all Linux infrastructure has reduced the actual demand for systems to the point that we have been able to reduce our electrical usage by shutting down systems and reducing the demands on the cooling systems significantly. Our phone support teams are somewhat confused as they are getting calls about server issues that they have never experienced, however our developers have been able to get Win2k+3 running on a VMWare image under Linux and we have been able to simulate the issues that customers have been experiencing, without actually loosing any data or having any significant down time."
Marketing, "Huh?".
Ok, it's not likely to happen, but we can fantasize.
I would have thought the box is recompressing the signal after converting it to analog just like every other DVR on the market.
I don't know where you are getting your information, but while stand alone tivos, replays, and if they exist stand alone ultimate-tvs all do compress the anlaog signal they receive, direcTiVos and DirecTV UltimateTV receivers simply decrypt the digital stream from DirecTV, and re-encrypt it before storing the digital stream onto the hard drives. This is why there is no "compression setting" on these systems. The compressed stream from DirecTV is about as compressed as the high compression setting of a SA Tivo, while being about as high quality as the low compression(high quality) setting.
There is some variability between manufacturers on the playback quality. The only time I have noticed pixilization on my Philips DirecTiVo has been duing bad rains. I have heard people complain about the quality of playback on other units.
Go to Google and look up "Tivo Community DirecTiVo playback quality" and start looking for reports of quality to determine which system may be best for you.
So far as I know no digital broadcast system is streaming Mpeg-4 yet. There may be a couple of Internet based companies trying it out, but it is too cutting edge for most businesses these days. If you want to get the rights to do so, this may be a way to sell cable over DSL. You will want a lot of bandwidth at the head end however, even though you will not have a lot of customers initially. I would also recomend using multi-cast to get around bandwidth issues initially. Figuring out what networks to multi-cast and what to uni-cast will be an ongoing decision making situation.
