The article is about a new processor for mobile devices. Asking if it supports ogg is like asking if your ethernet cable supports MP3.
How can I tell if it supports mp3? I looked at the printing on the side of the cable and didn't see anything about mp3? Does that mean I can't download mp3s with this cable? Where can I get an mp3 ethernet cable?
(Sorry, been spending too much time over at AVS Forum, where questions like this are asked daily and in all earnestness.)
Wow, that was one of the most in-depth interviews I've ever read. They go really into the details of what makes it run and how the system works. Well worth the read!

I've never used it, but I just thought I'd mention that the default WRT54G firmware from Linksys also has QoS settings that can be adjusted. I'm sure they're far more basic than what you'd get from some of the third party firmwares, but it's worth trying out for starters.
It sounds like the OP didn't even begin looking into any solutions before crying to slashdot with his roommate problems.
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I recently bought an OEM copy of Vista.
About a month ago I started getting random video corruption issues when waking from hibernate on my 2yo XP machine (it only happened when waking from hibernate). I narrowed it down to a software issue, and the only fix after a while was a reinstall. The machine was a refurb HP box, so the only XP install media I have are the restore CDs I burned, which contain all the crap I spent a month or so clearing out when I first got the machine. Since I was getting a new hard drive to start fresh with anyways and I didn't want to use the restore discs, my choices were either spending a hundred bucks on an OEM XP disc (btw, I could never get my "genuine product key" to work with any install CDs I downloaded) or spend a hundred bucks for an OEM Vista Premium disc. I opted for Vista. And honestly, once you turn off a bunch of the annoying crap, it's really not too bad. Some of the things they've added are pretty nice. The only issue I have is slightly stuttering sound, but since I rarely have my speakers on, it's not a huge deal. At some point I'm going to get an iMac and attempt to transfer this license over to that machine (we'll see how that goes).
He didn't get an alert beforehand because the company didn't go through one of the three major credit bureaus before approving the transaction.
It's okay. Even if you've explicitly requested the alert service from the three major credit bureaus, they usually don't bother with notifying you anyways.
I wonder if they could bittorrent using other peoples downloads as seeds?
Nope, that's something they definitely can't do with this box. One, there's no HD, only a RAM buffer. Two, torrents are terrible for sequential streaming of data.
I have Netflix (which I love) but don't use their streaming service since I'm a Mac guy. I like that they have it all ready for HD.
Where are you getting this from? Someone else up above mentioned the same thing, and all I can find is the article saying that it won't give you HD--that if you want HD you should look elsewhere. Am I missing something here?
Uhh, you do realize that Oprah has actually picked some amazing books for her book club, don't you? Not everything that gets that bigass sticker is great, but there have been some absolute classics in there. Although, they usually end up on her list several years after I've read them. And besides, I thought we were talking about scifi here....
Admittedly this time around, they wouldn't be the sole providers of the R&D involved. In the era of PPC clones, Apple created the reference designs that Umax, PowerComputing, etc used in their machines. This time, it looks like Intel is the one providing the reference designs.
And yet that 24bpp can't reproduce the full range of colors that can be printed on a piece of paper. And the ink on that piece of paper can't reproduce the full range of colors visible to the naked eye. Yes, there's room for a whole lot of improvement. That's not to discount the progress we've already made (24bpp is pretty impressive), but there's still a long way to go.

I smell a lawsuit coming...
Ditto that--and AC's complaint about the asshat, I mean, the "awesome" bar.
I have a vague recollection of getting hammered at the Awesome Bar one night.
Well that sounds pretty shitty.

You didn't really have to respond. I was merely pointing out the redundant tautology in that sentence.

Diversity differs!
Hah! Prove it!

Ahhh. Thanks. Silly of me not to read articles that aren't linked from the story submission. : p

This is a very cheap box that can stream HD media over a network.
Where did you get that from? The article goes out of its way to mention that it won't deliver HD-quality content.
Now here's a sensible comment that's been here for hours and hasn't been modded up at all. Shelfari is a great resource for ANY type of reader.

Why is it that guitarists get so pissy about Guitar Hero when I never hear any space marines complaining about Metroid?
And therein lies the genius of making Samus a female. ; )
And the new company is....CnetBS?

Well, as long as Sanford's brother Marcellus doesn't get convicted, then everything is okay.
Am I the only one that read Zombu as Zombo?
Well, remember, anything is possible...
