Pay 50 bucks for a router, and you are simply not going to get a high quality product. It is foolish of you to think otherwise. There's a reason that the enterprise stuff costs thousands of dollars compared to the 50 buck consumer router, that usually ends up not doing any routing at all (only doing NAT). I've seen a bunch of them that can do RIP. Can any do OSPF or BGP? Probably not because Dijkstra would make the thing explode.
Maybe it's true that spending a lot of money doesn't guarantee quality, but spending peanuts guarantees crap.

What makes you so sure about that? Personally, I think that the chat-speak epidemic is only going to get worse.
Smart scheduling is no competition for fast code, and KDE wins hard by using Qt. Even Swing with the (apparently proprietary) Java2D backend is much faster than GTK, even when GTK uses Cairo.
I have never seen any instance where Cairo made something faster.

The problem is that depending on who does these reviews, there will be entirely different results. I don't think that we can legally take the names back, anyway. It sure would be nice though if the/. community got to decide on it. Actually, that would be terrible. We'd spend the whole time fighting amongst ourselves.
Uh. ..What? The beast doesn't exist. There is no such thing as an unlimited amount of data transfer. Let's just consider an Ethernet LAN here, because most are familiar with the how it works. If you have a FastEthernet link to a switch, your bandwidth between you and the switch is 100Mb/s. If 23 other people also have a FastEthernet connection to that switch, each person also has 100Mb/s between their NIC and the switch. However, the switch probably has a GigabitEthernet or maybe even just a FastEthernet uplink port to either a distribution layer switch(we're not talking OSI, here. Just a corporate network) or directly to a router if it's a small network. So, how does anyone claim to offer 'unlimited' bandwidth? Are we really talking about throughput here? Even then, it's not really true. Throughput is the rate of data transfer over a given link at a given time. It is theoretically limited by bandwidth, but practically, it becomes slower. Why can't we just call it 'amount of data transferred' since that is what everyone is talking about?
I guess that another way of looking at this is the idea that people are clogging up links with all of this transfer. If that's the case, it's just a matter that there isn't enough bandwidth for everyone, and a higher capacity link is required. There is still no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.
I have FioS. In fact, a lot of people in my town have FiOS. I'm from downstate NY and actually a pretty good amount of people down here can get it. It works great, too.
I work at our school on the network staff, we deployed a new network wireless network over the summer, and I'd say I'm pretty good at linux administration. I do things like install big brother network monitor for my machines in my dorm room, just because I can and take my CS assignments and make huge projects out of the basic labs and when 11 pages came out of the printer, I told my boss that there were 3, doing some development work for the school, etc. Basically, I'm really enthusiastic. I don't think I'd be able to be a coder all day, I think sysadmin/netadmin is in my future. I'm currently working on cisco certifications and trying to learn as much about systems management as possible. However, because I spend so much time with this job, I don't really have any other outside research to speak of, or any other jobs. I'm a sophomore in college now and have held this position since halfway through freshman year. It is mine until I graduate. Does only having one job and no outside research or awards and such to speak of a hurt my chances? Do certifications help at all? I'm trying to figure out what I can do now to make myself stand out later.
Why not just throw the thing into an industrial shredder and then throw the remains into the shredder again a few times and then grind up those remains? I don't think you could get much if you reduce the drive to powder.
I'm a college freshman, I work as a network tech at our school. There are a grand total of three people maintaining our network. I'm mostly responsible for field work such as installing new or replacing dead switches, access points, data drops and the like. I'm also the resident scripter. In the interview, when my boss found out I read slashdot, it actually helped my chances. Part of our morning ritual is to talk about the previous day's slashdot stories and this even went so far that when they interviewed a second person to work over the summer, they asked him if he had heard of slashdot.
Does anyone else think that maybe this is because there was a leak of something important in the government? Maybe some important or incriminating documents were lost, maybe someone threatened to go to the press? Could it be that they want to scare journalists from publishing whatever it was?
If I were Microsoft, I'd go right in and buy up Blue Security and take over where they left off. Microsoft surely has the infrastructure to withstand these types of attacks and having them do something good in the fight against spam would certainly increase my respect for them. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people here would also have some newfound respect for MS if they did this.
I don't really think so. The types of people who run adblocking software are usually more technically advanced. Chances are that they won't be going to things like msn.com anyway and if they have to go to windows update, they'll be going whether there are ads or not.
Doesn't the adblock firefox extension just not display the images from certain hosts? Programs that block ads by editing the hosts file remove things before they even get to adblock. I suppose that's the real reason that I don't really think so.
Isn't it likely that encouraging people to design programs in this way would lead to companies using these techniques in their own software? Say someone has a contract with Microsoft, the linux version, while being fully functional, could be made to be slower. Then someone would go and demonstrate how poor linux performanace is yadda yadda

What other way is there to do it? If they weren't after money, then all of the features would be in the game.
Lynx, or links or elinks. . . take your pick
