  1. Sony Computers with Gigapocket on Streaming TV Over WiFi to a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    (gigapocket is sony's tv tuner board)

    include a nifty little app called 'picoplayer'
    that can be used/installed on any other windows machine you have and control gigapocket over the lan.

    You can watch tv or pre recorded material, the actual decoding is done by the base PC.. it dind't work for me over wifi, too many stutters and too low of bandwidth, I switched my lan to mostly powerline, and got 12 of 14mbps which made the stream hardly ever fall

  2. rredoing statistics over and over until on Is Tableau The Next Google? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, is this the story about the doctor who claimed his wife was killed by the one armed man?

  3. are apples the same as oranges? on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I've got an idea, lets make a list pitting product A's strengths against Product B's weaknesses..

    can your car go as fast as my bicycle?

    can my sister pee farther than my uncle?

    how many different programs can you burn dvd's with in linux?

    how many linux computers can play doom 3?

    I'm not playing favorites, just objecting to your biased list.

  4. Re:anyone interested in buying a used av340 on 5.5 oz. MPEG-4/Audio Portable From Archos · · Score: 1
    size, bulk.. the av340 fits in my pants pocket, but it really is massive...

    I haven't seen a 400, and don't own an ipod, but my archos is at least twice as thick as an ipod.. and heavy,.

    the battery life for video is not excellent, but I use it in conjunction with a pair of sony glasstrons.. battery life is much better then

    fair warning, the triple mini A/V cable is not standard 'pinout', and can't be replaced except through archos, and can't be used with other devices that use the same connector to a rca video/left audio/right audio rca jacks

    Hmm.. it might interest you to know that my Kyocera phone has this ability, and it's been released for close to two years now

    in fact, I can assign all sounds except phone # keypresses to any mp3 I'd like...

    going gold means it's being mass produced, master version exists, and all remaing bugs will be dealt with via patches, not original distribution.

  13. Every time my mother in law visits on BBC to Trial Worldwide Multicast Streaming? · · Score: 1
    She watches tv2.hu and markiza.sk
    hungarian and slovakian televison, fulls screen, for hours at a time..

    did I mention she usually spends two months visiting? I don't understand why this is such a big deal, unless it's because it's english language programming..
    BTW, I highly reccomend markiza at their 'late hours' they show a lot of full nude porn, that locally is available around 6pm eastern

  14. I've spent time on Palm Finally Announces SD WiFi Card · · Score: 1
    in my home restroom, shooting bunnies on the pot, reading webbpages with my Handspring visor and Xircom wifi adapter.. a better way to kill an hour ill I do not know.

    I would not want to be on the pot with a laptop on my lap.... but a handheld works fine

  15. Re:free alternative- use your existing wifi adapte on D-Link's USB-Powered Access Point · · Score: 1
    actually, since reading that article in PC magazine, I've thought so as well..

    in ad-hoc mode, and with ICS (internet connection sharing) enabled, you should be able to bridge the adapters easily..

    At one of my job sites, we have a cable modem that goes into a dell low end server- this has a second ethernet card connected to a hub, which shares a lan with two other PC's..

    I have had them previously set up as bridged connections and ICS sharing enabled, and all three pc's had web access (the owner has since instructed it be turned off to the two client pc's-- too much distraction)
    but the second ethernet card should be substitutable with a wifi adapter, and set in adhoc- it should 'just work'

  16. Re:Wireless Internet - Just add a wire! on D-Link's USB-Powered Access Point · · Score: 4, Informative
    no, if you are holding an impromptu meeting within a hotel room, that has one ethernet jack, you can have everyone in the room, online through your connection..

    also, if you have adjoing rooms with someone travelling with you on a business trip, you can share a connection if they 1-charge for a connection per day or 2-one or the other jack is out of service.

  17. free alternative- use your existing wifi adapter on D-Link's USB-Powered Access Point · · Score: 4, Informative

    PCTel's Segue Soft Access Point Module (SAM) is a clever piece of software that turns any LAN-connected PC into a Wi-Fi wireless access point. Given the low price of Wi-Fi APs (typically $60 or less), SAM might not appear to make economic sense. But SAM's price is even lower: Several motherboard and wireless chipset makers have purchased licenses to include SAM with their products, making SAM effectively free to end users. And for setting up a temporary AP in a hotel room, meeting room, or the like, it's a darn clever solution.

    ya know, the one where you are holding out a red stapler in the fully open position shooting staples at the bad guys? something with just a hair more range, but less damage, than fists?

    actually, I'd like to see a 'fullly lit' mod, where the flashlight is uneeeded, and I can see everything in all it's glory...
