I've had a WRT54G (default) firmware which - as others have mentioned needed a reboot once a week; upgraded the firmware and lowered it to once a month or once every two months.
Currently using a Cisco SOHO-A... and never need to reboot it, (I didn't actually buy it, I'm heavily involved with Cisco stuff for work and it was a freebie) HIGHLY recommend you get something a little pricier.
Question for the slashdot masses:
What I really would like for a portable laptop is a serial port (for console connections to devices).
Do any of these portables actually have such a thing?
I'm not too keen on the USB to serial adapters...
Well I live in Kentucky (Bullitt County as a matter of fact) and work in Louisville (Jefferson County)... yes technically they are correct about broadband creating more jobs and saving hours / travel; however they are low-level jobs which I wouldn't consider unless I wanted a pay cut!
As an aside, our local cable internet is Insight which offers a decent package (business too) for 10Mb/1Mb and we don't get all the nasty filtering we hear about from elsewhere or saturated nodes...
I'm 23 with certifications in Microsoft, Novell, Cisco and an associates in my field. We're not all rednecks down here:P
I would apply... the job market is pretty weak where I am anyway. As an aside, I could use the medical insurance... Plus military experience never hurt, where do I sign up?
From the website... "SafeBoot® Device Security solutions use strong pre-boot user authentication and powerful encryption to prevent unauthorized access to or use of PCs, laptops, tablet PCs, PDAs and other portable devices, removable storage drives and media, and more."
I'm pretty sure that removable storage drives and media would include backups
It's like watching somebody who has driven off a cliff, speculating as they fall about the lack of damage to the car.
Hurrah! Someone used a car analogy correctly!
because Unix has a method to do this [that isn't annoying], so we should immediately switch to one that is? what the hell is security through pop-ups anyway?
We use Microsoft CRM with some modifications. You track cases / tasks / projects / etc and resolve with time. If you don't truly need clock-in / clock-out time, it should work great. And with the reports it generates you should be able to track total time - if it doesn't match your set hours, then your employees may be uhm reading slashdot or something:-D
Disclaimer: I am generally a Linux proponent, but Microsoft CRM truly is a good product.
.. and then how disappointed in you will your mother be then, huh?
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you're moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air
That's interesting... cause I drive a 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor and there are numerous changes. For instance, having driven both interceptor and non: the tires are / have been RSA's on the interceptor, heavy duty everything on interceptor and the weight that comes with it (the owner's manual says adding Nitrous does *NOT* require modifications), PCM/ECM has been modified for quicker way to waste taxpayer's money... and mine features a 3.83 rear end, stock Vics are around 2.8 (I think)
However you are correct about the high-speed chase, most cops don't want to risk an innocent bystander's life just to catch a speeder... it's called 'intelligence'.
The power you mention is at stock voltages. Many overclockers run their RAM at 2.0 and higher.
My Geil One S tccd memory runs at 2.8v @ 400Mhz, I tend to push it a little further when approaching 600Mhz & this ram comes with heat spreaders... still it gets pretty hot - I'm sure there are useful applications
I realize they may not be acceptable to everyone, however... After the initial removal of "extra's" (I believe there is a tool for Dell call the de-crapifier), create an image using Ghost, etc. Keep a copy of Ghostwalker (or whatever) to change SIDs if needed. Then you pretty much have an OEM no-crapplet install. Of course, make sure you have enough licenses first:-D
But what if it's reverse psychology, like "Nobody would possibly murder someone with so much telling evidence, especially given that's he a 'smart' person".
Indeed... so I think it would be neat if you could have a 2 choice menu: Detect everything at startup and save to ROM file if successful, or QuickBoot. Where QuickBoot does what the Poster wants, and the computer assumes everything is the same as the last time. I can forsee problems with hardware failing, but then all you really need to do is switch options and detect again to see the issue.
Then all you need is to make it choose an option in 30 seconds if you don't pick:-D
"A quick perusal of MS research's good work and comparison to MS's latest products and you'll see that, indeed, there seems to be quite a gulf between research and development."
Which pretty much asserts to me that throwing money at a problem by itself does not necessarily help the situation.
My solution is to drive a crown victoria police interceptor in an area where most police vehicles are of the same type. I usually hold on to the left lane, because generally I set the speed limit. Now this works out nicely (for me) because I can drive 15-20 over and everyone else (including speeders behind me) drive more cautiously because they don't want a ticket. Essentially no one tries to overtake / undertake me and if I were to slow down, then so would everyone else - creating a bottleneck. That is all.

I don't know about the best burglar alarm, but I'm pretty sure the best defense is... Chuck Norris
You also need blackjack and hookers.
Awww... screw the whole thing
Personally I think the modest cost is worth purchasing ESET NOD32... great heuristics/on-access scanning, small CPU footprint.
For free, AVG is fine as long as you keep it up to date, allow it to run full scans, and take care in what you are downloading. :P

You're selling Penis Mightier? ... you're sitting on a goldmine Trebek!
Or perhaps implement QoS and throw in VLANs for good measure?
When I read 'T-cells' I was hoping for 'T-Virus'... shucks

I second that, as well as being the easiest method of updating the BIOS (which happens more often than not on my DFI Lanparty nf4 sli-dr expert).
Supposing the $4 guy and the $6 guy are separate; you've just harmed the $4 guy from his rightful winning...

I'm sure a mathematician would claim that 0 and 1 are both very interesting numbers.
