This is what happened to me. TWC couldn't maintain their own network, and continues to allow third-party contractors to repeatedly fuck things up. High speed isn't worth the cost when it's frequently down for long stretches. DSL might be slow, but it's been rock-solid stable for years.
What the hell happened to Crunchy Frog? Praline: Next we have number four, 'crunchy frog'. Milton: Ah, yes. Praline: Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here? Milton: Yes. A little one. Praline: What sort of frog? Milton: A dead frog. Praline: Is it cooked? Milton: No. Praline: What, a raw frog? Praline: Next we have number four, 'crunchy frog'. Milton: Ah, yes.

Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose. Praline: That's as maybe, it's still a frog. Milton: What else? Praline: Well don't you even take the bones out? Milton: If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?

If they are judged by the OpenWRT's project efforts with the Linksys WRT-350N, Netgear WNR854T, and D-Link DIR-615 are any indication. Two Marvell associates are providing support in their personal time to develop a fully functional open-source driver for Marvell's gigabit switch chip.
This futuristic device was one of the earliest commercial uses of the Geode chip. Unfortunately at $400 it was overpriced, and 3Com never supported the firmware developed for it.
I develop software for a living, but I was a bio-chemistry major with a love of hardware and software. Now instead of fighting bacteria and viruses with genetic engineering research, I'm fighting idiots and morons who seem to think an Oracle database on HP-UX with almost five million accounts is simply an Excel spreadsheet. Please just shoot me now.
From the background article of the same source:
"In regards to billing, we fail to understand what you mean with that!"
Apparently, that question is far too complex and foreign a question for these money-hungry scum to comprehend.
You're welcome. I hate those damned advertisement screens that pop up before you ever see the first page of the article. I also hate how they break a small article like this into multiple pages to increase the volume of adverts they can cram around the page.
(I really wondered if anyone would notice or care.)
So, what southbridge chipset are these going to use, now that nVidia has completely lost any credibility for supporting AMD processors? (note the HP and Dell laptops failing all year and the numerous Register stories about faulty self-destructing GPUs.
It's right there, the tiny thing in the middle between all the bigger stuff. (Look at the picture.) Tweak that little thing back and forth several times varying the frequency, and eventually they'll shut up for at least a few minutes, mostly because they're out of breath.

Wish I could mod this comment up higher than the max of five. Seriously.

When it won't carry people, and has no more the cargo capacity of a pickup truck?
Mod parent up. Puh-leeze? If I had mod points right now, I'd grant him more.
Don't laugh, the term's already been used : http://www.buttpaste.com/BLButtPaste.php
Surely there's plenty of potential for making heavy water (d2o), right?
Are you certain there were no RIAA/MPAA copyrights in those microbe genomes? I'm just saying...
HP and Microsoft repeatedly suggest re-installing the operating system to cure a network configuration issue.
According to this item at Hackday.com anyway.

So you can watch all your postage-stamp-sized video and hear all your high-bitrate MP3 tracks.

Typically, it's MIPS32 R4000 architecture.
I gave up on print media after my Byte subscription was terminated with the end of their print edition. Bah! Humbug!

many thanks. that's what I get for reading and posting while I'm supposed to be participating in a conference call ;)
Robert Heinlein would be so proud....
Mostly, I removed Windoze from my post summary because I didn't want to bother too many Slashdot readers with it.
