That so many of the people who support Open Source software initiatives and browbeat companies like Microsoft for their heavy handed policies...are also among the largest supports of Apple.
I admit, I don't know much about Apple, their computers or their business model. But their corporate policies sure do not seem to be in line with the same ideals associated with Open Source.
The great thing (to my thinking) about 802.11g is not the 54mpbs (which realistically is a throughput of only about 20-25mbps at best) but rather the power requirements.
Portable users are and always will be the mainstay of the Wireless Networking market and as performance machines come out the fight to keep battery life up is also going strong.
The Pentium-M and it's chipsets help this a great deal (but don't get me started on Centrino, that's just a marketing scam). However, one of the big winfalls for portable users will be the prevalence of 802.11g networks. They require half of the power of an 802.11b network and transmit data about 4 times faster.
This is the real prize you earn for switching to 802.11g.
They spent, what? $600.00? You could have done this all with a d-link 614+ router for $79.99 and two DWL-900AP+ Access Points (set in Wireless Repeater mode) for $79.99 each. Sure, I wouldn't be 802.11g, but with the d-links you can still get 22mbps (faster then your cable/dsl line by a lot) and you only paid $240.00 to set yours up.
Of course, D-Link makes just about the only inexpensive router that will work as a Wireless Repeater. I expect other companies to follow suit though.
This guy wants to clean out a room in the Pentagon, stacked to the ceiling with boxes labeled, "non-essential documents". So he starts a study showing how much space they can save by ridding themselves of all of these useless documents.
A few months later they complete this study, and send it up for a review. A board determines that this is a great idea and they can in fact save tons of space by ridding themselves of all of these documents, with one stipulation. They must make copies of all the documents for their records...
But I think the Federal Government needs to completely take over the power generation industry. Electricity is, in every sense of the word, a basic need for us now. Without electricity for extended periods of time, people die in this country.
You can disagree and call me a socialist bastard, but I just don't think something so basic as power generation should be in the hands of people who are trying to make a profit out of it. I'm sure that those of you in California who suffer through summer brown outs might agree with me if you think about it.
Furthermore, the Federal Government has a huge advantage going for it. They don't have to turn a profit. The military sure never came close to it, and we love spending money on them (with good reason). But imagine the safety regulations and procedures and the environmental guidelines that could be implemented with government control of power plants.
The U.S. Navy has never had a nuclear incident or accident, despite running a significant portion of the worlds nuclear plants with guys under 30 that don't have college educations. Why? Because no one asks the Navy to make a profit. They can afford to spend the extra money on safety measures, education for those operators and strict guidelines.
You tell the story, not in the story itself. The works of Shakespeare have been re-imagined for hundreds of years now. Hollywood has been retelling the same stories for a century.
The originality comes in your setting, your imagination and adding your own flavor to the game. While the rare original book, movie, tv show, play or story comes out...mostly they are all just different takes on a common theme.
The Magnificent Seven and the Seven Samurai are the same movie, but both are considered classics.
So, is there originality in new games? Yes, but maybe you are not looking for it in the right place...
Until one of the software packages that controls the new-ish electronic traction, suspension and stabilization systems bugs out killing a family of 6 in their SUV.
The sad part is that for an error like this, multiple people will have to die or risk death before anyone will clue into what the error could be.
Witty or funny here...but you know what, that is just a helluva deal. You don't find that many Linux based portables as it is, and finding one at this price would be great.
Now how about spreading the love to those of us in U.S.?
Doesn't matter to most people...

802.11g Slows Down

90% of these are going to go into homes. And both 802.11b and 802.11g give you more throughput then the average user will get from their ISP. So in the end, I don't think it will matter to most people...
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft has already done their part to reduce spam...if you can't get your OS to function, how can you get spammed?

Thought that said Three Gorgeous Dames begin storing water...was like, wtf?
That most dedicated Linux users are really good at managing to minimilize windows...and windows users...
Just wanted to second this...David Weber's books are great, and his Honor Harrington series is top notch.

But like most wireless security tools, are the people with ill intent just going to turn it around and use it for their own ends?
Oh well...if the claims are correct, it will all be irrelevant when WPA releases later in the summer.

Everytime she steps on the scales...I would tell you what it was defined as last week, but kids may be reading this.
Then her and Al Gore can run on the "Father and Mother of the Matrix...err, I mean Internet" platform!

If we can get M$ and the RIAA to go head to head, maybe we can kill two turds with one stone.
