    Yeah, Sveasoft isn't the way to go. They're not exactly the nicest people one earth. sending DMCA notices to google? Yeah, that's not cool. Anyway, you should check out the DD-WRT project. http://www.dd-wrt.com/ It has all of the features of Sveasoft's firmware, and more. I've been using this firmware for about 6 months now, I've been VERY impressed with it. It has a great interface and has many fewer bugs than its Sveasoft counterpart.

    From my rather breif experience with this, it seems to speed up sites that are mostly database driven. Sites like Interface Lift and anything like PHPBB or PHP-Nuke.

    You can grab the newest CVS builds of XBMC off of bittorrent, you can usually find links to the torrents from Suprnova.

    I think you mean a huge "mass" in space. Since the real problem with teathering a large mass is overcoming the object's intertia as it is pulled along with the earth in a somewhat circular orbit.

  21. Why They Aren't Secure on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The very reason that Wi-Fi networks exist is that they provide simple, easy-to-use network connectivity wherever you are. Security takes a backseat to ease of use. The equipment manufacturers don't want to have to deal with the support calls if they would enable security features, such as WEP, out of the box. Adding security to Wi-Fi networks makes them harder to use and less appealing to the average consumer. Thus, it's easier for manufacturers if consumers remain blissfully unaware of the huge backdoors into their networks. But then again, anonymous internet access from my neighbor isn't that bad.

    However I think the real question is: Shouldn't this be a connection-oriented protocol? You see, one should send a pidgeon initially announcing that another pidgeon is on the way. This way if the second pidgeon timesout, then the receiving host can reply back indicating that it failed to receive the datagram.

  24. Re:no not velocity on Six Barriers to Open Source Adoption · · Score: 1

    I beleive that velocity is an accurate descriptor for rapidly changing open source projects. Velocity is a vector, thus it describes both a speed and a direction. Velocity could thus be used to make the statement that open source projects evolve too quickly and they change the goals (ie direction) of the project quicker than some companies are comfortable with.
