I bought a Linksys wireless router. My wired Dlink had died (surprise there right?) so I wanted to use it as a wired for now but have wireless capability for later. It was the wrt54g. It was not the L suffix one but I wasn't concerned with that as I really did not intend to flash it with Linux or use it as anything other than a router.
During configuration the internal webserver would crash before I could complete the configuation. This was intolerable. I read up on it and found it has substantially dumbed down hardware when compared with the original wrt54g which is now the wrt54gl with the L suffix standing for Linux.
If the blasted thing would have worked I'd have used it but not only was the ram and flash reduced it did not have the features I expected it to have. I did manage to configure it but it took 10 times longer due to not wanting to crash the webserver by stressing it too much.
I could have ordered the L suffixed version of the Linksys router but it's only available online, it's much more expensive than the Buffalo OR the current stupefied Linksys version and I no longer trusted Linksys.
They are lackwits. I want my *hybrid* to have the capability to be charged! That is nothing more that the tag says. "A toy" and a particularly useless toy at that! I've seen several articles on mods for the prius that allow you to recharge the batteries and it's pretty good.
Atoyot Hey spell it backards and A Toy is revealed!!!
I actually had to get the login and password by using the CD with a temp windows install. Then went through their authentication. Once that was done getting it working in Linux was a no problem.
I tried both PPOE on the modem and PPOE via Linux and both worked. I now have a Buffalo router with dd-wrt on it and it does the PPOE link.
For some reason I am highly sensitive to flavorings. Ok *some* flavorings. I can without fail tell the difference between Coke, Pepsi and RC cola as they all are distinctive.
There is no 'Coca Cola taste" in the Mexican Coca Cola products. I think the other one I had was Peru but can't remember now. Also the carbonation was very weak in both of them. Several Asian bottled ones also don't have that taste to them but do come close to Pepsi though I think one of them added something citrus not on the label. Carbonation is better in those.
Compared to all of them the kosher version is the best to me.
Yes I'm that picky and it's gotten worse since I quit smoking as I'm even more sensitive to flavors. One benefit is that some artificial sweeteners no longer offend me.
If you can at some point do your own unbiased blind taste test. Have a friend pour them out in numbered cups and have them *leave* the room then taste them. Have water handy to wash out the cola between tastes.

Coca cola went through quite a bit of trouble make a recipe that would be kosher. The now only make it at certain times of the year. I've managed to get some exactly once here locally. The one deli that carries it get swamped with orders.

I'll keep it in mind. I learned by helping a friend and only made a couple batches from kits when I felt comfortable. I don't have a good place to brew right now so it'll have to wait.
I responded about that mistake I made on the sugar to another person. My bad.
I agree about the taste. I loath coke cola with corn syrup. Also I have had several foreign varieties and coke took the secret ingredient out. They were Asian and South American ones so I'm not sure if it effects the EU.
When I can get it I will buy the kosher version in the US. It still is the real thing. And marvelous stuff. It is especially good for some mixed drinks.
I avoid HFCS period. I won't touch the crap anymore. If I start brewing beer again I'll use as natural a base as I can rather than that industrial garbage.
Ok, I admit not even suspecting I was wrong about that.
Ok, one of the recipes for beer a friend made called for table sugar. An odd choice but he was new to the art of zymurgy. It turned out exceptionally vile. We found out later to drink that would not have killed us but have made 'hangover' a pathetic and meaningless term. You'd have to have gotten past the incredible skunk smell to have even tried to drink it.
The recipe came from what he thought to be a British recipe. I don't know if there was a time that corn sugar in powder form was used as table sugar in England or he just found really wrong information.
That recipe is exceptional when corn sugar is used. It's a pity I've lost track of that friend and don't have a copy.
betamax licensing was just as bad, no it's not that far out of character. Just in the consumers face nowdays. The Sony I used to love is dead. Management changes have turned it from a pioneering company into a slogging lumbering hulk that only wants more money, not customers' loyalty. -nB I should pay you for that remark. You put into words *exactly* how I feel.
I'd guessed it was silly. It was the CFC part that was the bait for someone to give me an OHNOES!
Your response is rational and fine.
What ever happened to the 'solid state' drive that used DVD material but had no moving parts? Not only is it vaporware but the must have inhaled the vapor. It sounded like an outstanding idea.
I despise all in ones no matter what it is. They can cheat like hell when making it and as you say when a minor part dies the unit is trash. Most of them quickly become toxic landfill scrap.
In several cases I've seen laser cartridges die when sitting for extended periods of time. 3+ months but in most cases you're right about them.
I am tempted to go find an old Panasonic 24pin and a ribbon reinker.;)
MIT proved that tinfoil hats enhanced MCR's! PROVED!
And just like TFH's this new window film is pathetic and worthless unless the whole facility is shielded. Besides there's been a type of window that had that capability all along. It's two panes of glass with wire in the middle of the right size and I bet it's much cheaper than that stuff. I work in RF, we have several very good shielded cages. No MCRs, no wifi, no tesla bolts, cool stuff.
Oh? I don't *have* a printer so haven't really looked at them other than news items and bits from here. How is Cannon different?
Laser printers fall into the consumables category as well. It does take a home user a long time to deplete cartridge in the larger ones but some of the allandnones have tiny ones last time I looked.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if they both get worse?
l ess-g-125-high-speed/wireless-g-125-high-speed-bro adband-router-and-access-point-with-high-gain-ante nna/, ignored the included firmware lest I wretch and flashed it with DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/ and I am very happy. It has more capabilities than I need. Using the web interface is effortless and I had my system up and running in a few minutes after some confusion on my part on how flash it.

So I took it back and took the refund and bought a Buffalo router http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/wire

Drink the one you like best.
My family made 'shine. Some still do. My branch moved North and became filthy carpetbaggers. ;)
;)
Of course I tell them at least we *branched*.
So I'd make it even if it were illegal but in my state I can max the Federal limit and be all nice and civilized if I want.
Accepted with gratitude.
Try that version of Coke if you like Coca Cola. It's worth the trouble to get it.
Wiki says the kosher version dates to 1935 so it really is the "Real Thing".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_formula
And as soon as the went blind looking at the link in the article they dropped and broke it.

Kosher Coca Cola uses sugar, not HFCS.
/.
What was trying to do is have a polite conversation. Not something that's easy to do on
Jones is also using cane sugar now. I'm not sure if they ever used HFCS.
http://www.jonessoda.com/
And I like it a great deal, especially the apple.
Their idea to put ordinary peoples photos on the label is brilliant.
I don't think I can get Boylans here yet but will check it out as they seem to have some more flavors than Jones.

Don't the British use corn sugar as table sugar?
Yes until the capacitors explode.

My gagnomometer has pegged.
It's impending DOOM dammit.
I'm waiting for the mutant version that'll grow in my stomach and I can feed it corn and we'll both be very happy.
