Only a month after I bought a replacement power adapter for my laptop... For the exact same reasons described in the recall. It overheated, and then some of the plastic melted away. It was rendered useless. Too bad my warranty was out of effect.
I believe there is a patch for the Linux kernel to make a box act as a Traffic Shaper. http://sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter/
Here is how I would design it:
Buy an old PIII or Celeron Box, hook it directly into the internet connection, have another NIC plugged into the rest of the network. Buy a wireless access point and hook it into the network.
Configure the Linux box to be a router, DHCP Server, and also shape down P2P traffic. Or, another suggestion would be to use a transparent proxy, something like DansGuardian (www.dansguardian.org). That should keep the P2P stuff out, and keep the kids from surfing porn.
I like the idea of the "tip jar" this way, the cable or DSL company can't charge you for a business account, since you wouldn't be "selling" the bandwidth.

Kind of off topic, but might as well give them away here.f bce-41a4dc0b1b 5 c12-936bc39037 6 450-b2a929bc15 d b1e-7df6129e51 1 f25-4a3c395b3c

You Asshole... I was at work when I clicked on that.
Getting this ported to Windows??? I know alot more people would be using it if they did that.
I work for a public school district too... Would this be effective in saving on long distance????
