    Our main problem is the warped mindset of just reducing the amount of emissions we get from burning a liter of fossile fuels. Why not just employ techniques and add research to actually reducing the consumption of the fuel by half. Is it just me or does it seem like the powers that be, just dont understand burning half as much gas equals cutting emissions in half?

    For small items like that, I'd rather support my local electronics shop, even though the closest one to me recently closed down, and I now have to drive another 10 miles on the freeway to go to the one that is still open. I'd much rather give my money to these mom and pop electronics stores, rather then patronize a store like Radio Shack with a next to none product selection of what I am looking for. Plus the store I go to knows me by my first name, I'd like to see that happen at a Radio Shack.

    Well I belive that the reason Radio Shack is mainly selling "phones, wireless phones, computers, and stereos", and the "resistors and capacitors get(s) a few square feet of shelf space in the back", because the true tinkers/hackers in the true sense have all gone online to places such as digikey.com and mouser.com to get all their resistors, capicators, ic's, and the like, because of the outragous prices that Radio Shack charges, add to that, the now, dwindiling selection of these items. And who wants to pay $3 for a pack of 2 capicators when I can get them online for $0.30 each.

The DSA-5100 supports virtually all WAN connection types including static, dynamic, and PPPoE Client.

With support for 802.1q VLAN tagging, different authentication policies can be used per administrator-assigned VLAN networks for maximum security. In addition, VLAN tagging helps to segment and prioritize incoming traffic. For the private network, the integrated DHCP server and firewall with Denial of Service (DoS) Protection safeguards the network from malicious attacks and hackers.

    Network administrators can manage the DSA-5100 Hot Spot Gateway and all of its features via the Web-based, CLI, SSH, or SNMP v2 management interfaces. With a wide array of convenient management utilities, the D-Link Airspot DSA-5100 Public/Private Service Gateway is an efficient and powerful hotspot solution.

Our efforts in curbing funding to these terrorists organizations had been always limited to hard money. By this method they could literally raise billions without being noticed for years. Charitys where what we were pursuing after 9/11 I'd think by now they'd realize that funneling those funds by that means are no longer as efficent, and must be seeking other ways of creative funding. The endgame is if we are able to cut off their sources of funding(like how Iraq was attempting to cut off our supply lines during the war). The war is not over, the battle has just begun, we must remain vigilant in our efforts to curb the explotitation of our economic system. 9/11 in the minds of too many Americans is in the distant past, but to those that still remember it as vividly as it was yesterday, have a duty to remind every other citizen that we must never let our gaurd down in that maner again.
