  1. Suggestions on A Wireless Network for a 4-Story Apt. Building? · · Score: 1

    Why be such an asshole?

    Just there was a story on increasing options to the Linksys WRT54G wireless routers. Maybe you can try 4 of those (1 per floor) and settings (encryption is a must so people not allowed to, steal your bw) to help against abusers.

  2. Cheap DSL on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    In my area I pay $40 for 1.5/128. Lots of people get DSL for $25/month on promotional deals ($25 for 1 year on a 2 year contract).

  3. Weatherbug on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 2, Informative

    That darn weatherbug thing that everyone I know has. You try to uninstall it but it manages to find a way back in :-/

  4. At least its a start on Spam Rapidly Increasing In Weblog Comments · · Score: 1

    Simon Willison recently described a method, not to stop comment spamming, but at least deny spammers to Google Pagerank counts. Check out the full post here.

  5. Re:interface, interface, interface on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 2, Informative
  6. Re:Weapons of Mass Destruction on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 1

    Hahah, that's what I thought when I saw that ;) Plenty of room to run Netstumbler eh?

  7. $1200? on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's upsetting the $1,200 price-tag pays more for the compact-type computer than for the computer parts itself. I'd like to see a release of a more asthetic and powerful computer. Removing the CDROM would free up some room for upgrades and since many in-dash CD players are regular PC CDROMS some sort of uplink through that doesn't seem so farfetched.

  8. Inkjets on Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess? · · Score: 3, Informative

    For a cheap InkJet solution THG recommends the Canon i850.

  9. Re:Number of songs... on Analysis of RIAA vs Princeton Student · · Score: 1

    "if there were three copies of Dave Matthews Band's "Crash", would that not be suing for $450,000 for one song?"

    well 3 different people with the same copyrighted song is still 3 instances of piracy

  10. Re:We should be moderately safe on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    30k limit is not exactly "a few cents". I'm gonna have to check the statement myself.

  11. Re: Technology on Columbia Japan Music On Demand, On CD-R · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think it's a matter of technology, but rather the ethics behind doing what the people want.

  12. Re:just like winmodems on IDE RAID Examined · · Score: 1
    Even on a gigabit backbone, that's roughly 65MB per second of thoroughput in real world performance. The performance is only a factor for local reads/writes and access time.

    Is onboard gigabit ethernet affected by the same setbacks as passing through the PCI bus?
