Actually, there are a lot more than two different versions of the WRT54G (and its sister the WRT54GS), with many different specifications. Here's a nearly complete list. I think it's missing a few of the newest versions, but they run the sucky VxWorks firmware, not Linux. (Some smart people have actually found a way to replace VxWorks with Linux, but the new models are so limited memory-wise that it really isn't useful.)
Also, the WRT54GL is basically a WRT54G version 4. It's the safest bet if you want a new router to run custom Linux firmware on.

Or maybe it's more secure. After all, just because you send an email over a secure connection, that doesn't mean the recipient will download it over a secure connection. A social networking site that redirects all users to an HTTPS URI would solve that problem.
(Of course, encrypting the message body itself also works, but that's more of a pain than most people are willing to deal with.)
Based on the Vista systems I've seen, the grandparent is perfectly serious. A friend of mine bought a shiny new laptop with Vista preinstalled, only to find that his hardware wasn't all supported.
You may have been joking, but I'd be seriously interested in knowing this. How exactly does flash memory behave when it fails? The last thing anyone wants is for their drive to silently corrupt data.
I couldn't agree more. Yes, the developers should be responsible for their errors, but still, they're only human. Even the best dev makes a serious mistake from time to time. That's why it's essential to have good coders and good QA folks and good management for any project, especially one as large as the Blackberry network. Sometimes redundancy is a good thing.
WRT the first post: Close, but no cigar. First "real" post, maybe.:)
On a more serious note, it's really great to finally see Acid2 compatibility. It may not be the test-to-end-all tests, but it's still one more thing to love about Firefox.
Yes, I can see how there could be problems, but it isn't any different from a router. Most routers that I know of are fairly powerful devices. They run the same risks as this card as far as exploits go.

OK, I am so totally jealous.

Freedom of speech only goes so far. You can say whatever you want on your own server, but I have no obligation to allow you to say it on *my* server.
'Tis the wonders of capitalism at work. It may seem unfair at times, but it's better than the alternatives.
Hey man, I noticed your post!
I'm pretty sure he knew that, my anonymous and cowardly friend.
I would also like to see a transcript.
... what I really want is a robot to scoop dog poop in my yard.
Brilliant, my friend! Just plain brilliant! I wish I had mod points for you.

301 is a permanent redirect, actually.
Couldn't you just connect the SSD to another computer as a secondary device and access the undamaged data, like you can do with hard drives right now?
I could be totally wrong, but my guess is that the $40 RAM operates at a speed much higher than the $10 flash drive.

I don't think that the lurking grue would agree with you.
Woosh!

Replacing one bad government with another bad government is not "successful" in my sight.
Could I please have one of those delicious-looking insightful moderations?
