    Try DD-WRT. I use it and love it.

    Man, I wish I had mod points today.

  3. Re:oblig Ender's Game reference on Using AI to Monitor Kids Online · · Score: 1

    Mostly right. The game had to begin improvising and devoting all it's resources to Ender when he broke the rule. The Hive Queen's pulled an aiua from Outside to try to catch Ender's mind, and instead brought Jane into conciousness as the soul of the ansibles. Sorry, one of my favorite series!

    Well, not so much transcending to sentience, it was induced. Slight difference :).

  5. Re:How long before stream rippers run the costs up on Netflix Now Offers Instant Online Movie Streaming · · Score: 1

    I used to belong to a private TV streaming website (Crafty TV) that had these same problems. Said problems were soon marginalized however, by properly writing the page with PHP, using uniquely generated hashes to access the video databases. It becomes much more cumbersome to use a stream ripper when you can't get at the url for the video stream.

  6. Re:Priorities on Quake in Taiwan Cripples Internet · · Score: 1

    Well, if people die every day, then it's essentially a non-event, right? Unless there's a mass number of people, otherwise it's just background noise/death. Losing a significant portion of a subcontinent's infrastructure is indeed a bit more high priority then some dead people are.

    You can't fix dead.

    Just...wow. Yeah. That was bad.

    Or you could buy him a map? You know? Then he could learn the whole, "don't leave unless you know where you're going and how to get there" bit.

    6. I dislike having close buttons on each tab. I thought I would like it, but in reality, when I want to close multiple tabs now I have to keep moving my mouse to do so. Before, I could just click, click, click and close 3 tabs. I liked that much better.
    Ctrl+W is your friend.
  13. Re:This is not about stem cells... on Stem Cell Bill Passes in Australia · · Score: 1

    Before you get all high and mighty on us, and people actually listen to what you're saying, perhaps you should make sure you mean TOTIpotent, not "totempotent," whatever that means. Stem cells that create totem poles, perhaps?

  14. Re:Fred is a retard on Clinton Prosecutor Now Targeting Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Naw, Deb is actually a very fair minded principal. I've worked with her personally several times (my brother and I designed the new sound system in the gym) and I know all the upper staff. While I've never met her husband, and can't say much there, I'll just say that everyone thinks everyone is racist against the natives (especially if the accuser is native), but I've yet to meet someone who really was. Plus, that is entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand. The issue isn't about whether people smoke or drink, and it's certainly not about whether or not Deb Morse is a douchebag. It's about free speech. You aren't allowed to advocate illegal drug use in the school, that's pretty cut and dry. But he wasn't at the school, he was across the street. So the real question at hand is whether or not schools can regulate what you do outside of the school. Prepare for a fun court case.

  15. Fred is a retard on Clinton Prosecutor Now Targeting Free Speech · · Score: 1

    It's interesting how one really stupid person's actions can wind up being the basis for rules governing other's actions. I used to go to JDHS, and was there when this whole thing happened. Quite funny at the time, and now it's turned into this huge headache.

    There was a third again as many errors, but I seem to recall the average article length was half again as long. So the average error rate evens out.
