This is old news, also DDWRT is a closed source solution that for some routers you have to pay for features. Openwrt has much more for the price and if something is wrong you can fix the bug yourself.
Setup your own DSL network using existing RJ11/Phone cabling.
You will place dsl modems in each area you want access points.
You can even have all rooms or some premium rooms with hidden away dsl modems and a network cable coming out.
You just need to setup a dslam after the modem and configure routing.
You would want a login interface so users have to accept terms and conditions.
Using the dsl method, you can setup access points at whatever strength seems secure enough wherever there is a phone connection or wiring, and you can splice the wiring if necessary. You will need to place cheap filters on every normal phone connection, but that is a minimal cost.
You can also look at ethernet over power line, but there are lots of variables and speed issues that makes this not ideal.
Most of the providers who hit their advertised speeds implement a burst-based traffic shaping.
For example, Comcast does full or over-full speed for first 10mb down and 5mb up.
It's nice that speedtest sites like speedtest.net show a graph of how speed changes, but their test sizes are still far to small and should exclude any detected burst speeds.
The only good way to test this is to actually transfer files and exclude the bursts.
Another thing that SHOULD be tested is the speed difference with single threaded transfers and segmented/multi-threaded transfers for both same continent and cross-seas.
Internet speed is relative and that is part of the problem.
This is the opinion using the extreme outliers but...
But in it's defense, I got an IT degree (actually I got 3 degrees, but that is a different story) and I can honestly say the only thing I learned that is real-world relevant is the jargon/naming conventions for stuff I already knew.
So basically I learned how to properly name and refer to things in a way that management would NOT understand.
I am all open to knowledge, however the academic systems are unable to keep up with their current models.
A 12 year old reading up on the internet and letting their natural curiosity set them on their journey for knowledge while having someone to chat with who is more progressed in their journey will learn more and actually understand it, instead of being a memorization or boxed in college student.
All a degree is a piece of paper that say you have some background in this field and you are capable of learning to meet the minimal expectations of your professors.
Please note, I was not a slacker in college, I got 3 degrees in 5 years time and had an overall GPA of 3.8.
The doctor needs to go take back K-9 from Sarah Jones.... She has had him long enough, and likely he can just take her from the timeline after she is dead and K-9 is all alone. K-9 is best companion ever, although I do enjoy the eye candy companions also.
I have only used the plugin once prior to uninstalling, but if you were a member with it, the option is paypal plugin on the right when you login.
I depend on it and use it all the time.
One side note, if paypal detects fraud because you login from an unusual area in their opinion, all your virtual cards get deleted and you will have to make new ones and send them to people who regularly charge on them for reoccurring payments.
This study is flawed and what trackers did they use or how did they truly pick the randomization?
I mean if they pick the 1000 random torrents from a piracy site, then my guess is their results would this way, but if they select other trackers/locations/etc they would likely find that 100% of the traffic is legal and proper.
Also remember that statistics just show how biased the statistician is when they interpret the results and decide how to present them.
A better news than this ad for a tool that has existed in many free forms would be that Woot is owned by Amazon now and their first duty was to sell their ebook reader at a discounted price.
I see this post as the same thing as saying one of the following:
You can hack into a car by throwing your android phone really hard at a window. There is an app on your android phone that makes it so you can steal money from people, just put it in your pocket, hold it to their back and pretend it is a gun while asking for everything they have. Hack your McDonald hamburger by taking the buns and putting them on your head and calling them your alien receptors. Hack your microwave, stick your android in it for 10 minutes while running this "insert ad here" app. Hack the airwaves, play music on your android.
did you even read the article, they said they will be using icecast listings and their 3rd party api is not fully supported of doing something like this through plugins.
Whats next, Firefox won't be allowed to visit the shoutcast directory.
I foresee an Internet where in order to be legally allowed to browse a website you must comply with their terms and install software at the sites choosing.
I guess I have no incentive to use Bing anymore to get stuff I was going to get without the cashback....
It's a shame there have not been any ebay bing's greater than 8% in a while or I would use them more....
I never really understood their motivation behind cash-back, especially with many sites having a discounted price for non-bing users (scam, I know) but I did appreciate the ebay buy it now discounts....
MS has now removed the only motivation to use their service in my eyes.

For example, if they were female traited on the outside and had a penis and a vagina, (i know most are sterile), but the penis was able to produce semen capable of spawnning, then they are male.
Yes there are flaws and loopholes, I don't want to perfect the logic.
First of all this article seems like their trying to troll a little.
Next, they know how to write, but they choose not to due to it being an more inferior form of record keeping and is not as portable as other forms, such as typing.
I personally have not found anyone's whose writing can keep up with my typing speeds.
The point is, let go of the old way, it is important, but it is not very important.
Cursive was always meant to be a form of cheat writing anyway.

So yeah, just add XEN and it is another hypervisor with Windows or whatever being the DOM0.
I agree with everyone who posted Netgear WNDR3700.
I went through so many routers, but the Netgear WNDR3700 was the only one that could keep up with my needs and support my router customization.
Tried different firmwares but found OpenWRT Backfire with LuCI provided to be the best.
Truly the best router/firmware you can have in the consumer range.

Where there is a hotspot there is a starbucks.
The rates are exceptionally well.

Ah the joys of being sucked out while 30,000ft.
I just love waiting for that rapid depressurization, it is such an euphoric feeling, it also means your on your way to the mile high club.
Oh Wait... they were not talking about oral sex... that sucks.

QT and PySide for doing GUI with Python.
QT for C++
Python all the way.
It became my new favorite within 30 min of coding.
Yup, I had to say it.
The Nokia N900 is a very open device.
The best way to learn is to start a project.
Get a book or read tutorials and start coding.
Many programmers don't use gui's to code and if they do, they typically only care about syntax highlighters or auto-complete.
You may like python... it is my favorite language now.
people grandfathered in can still use it,

How Ironic that the day this post shows up on /. VODO had an release up which is a movie and is 100% legal and very highly transferred over torrents.

If you are planning on being in areas under T-Mobiles footprint, they have unlimited plans for very cheap without contract if you own the phone.
The N900 is the ultimate open source phone for geeks. (notice for geeks, although it is getting better for everyone)
It has built-in bluetooth tethering.
The plan is cheap also, no need to give up any family members or body parts and if you leave the US, the phone will probably work in your mother land.
Purchasing a 500-600 dollar phone and using t-mobiles non-contract plans are far cheaper within a year of service payment than most other options.
Plus it has everything you need in it and then some.
ABIWORD was recently ported for it.
