  1. Re:here comes the torre%BVNO CARRIER on Mandrake 9.2 RC1 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The ability to do that is all built-in to the BitTorrent protocol. You just need a client which doesn't suck.

    On Windows, I use this. I'm sure you can find equivalent clients for other operating systems with a quick Google search.

    All three torrents are working fine for me.

    However, the second and third torrents do not have any seeds. The second only has 0.409 distributed copies, and the third only has 0.364. The first one, however, has eight seeds and 2.983 distributed copies.

    Yes. Just not with any of the "...in 24 Hours" books.

    I though it was common sense to stay away from all "Learn [Language] in 24 Hours" books.

  7. Re:100 a month ? on Best Cell Phone Service for GPRS? · · Score: 1

    Well, for a $100 he could probably get 1000+ minutes a month. Cingular, for example, has a plan that costs $100/month and gives you 1350 anytime minutes nationwide, and 5000 night and weekend minutes. That also includes rollover minutes, so you're unused minutes from the previous month can be used towards future months, to avoid overage charges.

    Personally, I have a family plan with three additional phones. We pay $49.99 a month for 1000 anytime minutes and 5000 night and weekend minutes with rollover for the northeast United States (from about Boston to Washington, DC). Then, each additional phone is $9.99 a month with minutes being deducted from the primary (1000 minutes/month) plan. And every phone is GSM.

    If you want GPRS on a specific phone, but not on the entire family plan, it's possible, too. On Cingular, anyway, it costs ~$7/megabyte. I believe it's cheaper with other cellular providers, but Cingular has always had weird pricing schemes when it comes to data.

    That's what my family does, too. Being in college now, if I had to pay for my own education, I would probably be going to a community college. Who knows, I might have never even gone. I probably won't end up having kids, but if my sister's kids need help paying for their education, I'll be glad to lend a hand.

    Actually, nothing has changed. Divx Pro has always been either pay or adware supported. They just introduced Dr. Divx, whatever that is. The link to download the Divx codec is further down on the page, and is completely free, as always.

    I know, but they'll still want to support 802.11b, for all the folk who never saw the need to upgrade.

  23. 802.11g on FCC Goes WiFi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The system uses the 802.11a and 802.11b protocols, commonly refered to as WiFi.

    What about 802.11g? If they're supporting 802.11a, they might as well support 802.11g, too.

    Maybe they figure that the 802.11b users will just slow down the network for everyone, so they won't even bother. Why not have 2 separate APs, then? One for 802.11b and one for 802.11g?
