Let's rephrase that. Why would he buy a phone that restricts what he can do with it?

I would personally avoid Motorola phones. They make it a real pain in the ass to root them.

The HTC Wildfire has a very low screen resolution (320x240). I wouldn't buy anything that low. I like my HTC Evo 4G a lot. If you are really concerned about battery life, just carry a spare with you.

What's wrong with Natalie Portman?

Did you watch the video?

I just watched this video about China's Ghost Cities and Malls. Maybe it's time to sell my holdings in this?

Flights and hotels are already booked and paid for. Paris and Barcelona. 1 week in each city.

I hope the trend reverses, I'm going to Europe in July.

Paths of Glory is a great movie.

I'm happy with my Ubiquiti Routerstation Pro. It has 4 gigabit ports and can support 3 mPCI wireless NICs as well.

I'm guessing you mean high availability or redundancy rather than backup. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20110421/tc_nf/78253 EC2 is supposed to provide redundancy.

The Christian Science Monitor is a newspaper, it's been around for over 100 years.

I got married last July.

Wrong again Coug. I'm in my 20s for 4 more months. I think blakerwry is still in his 20s also, but I could be wrong.

Stockholm's winters look about the same as Chicago's. The summer in Stockholm is milder though.

I've only read a little as well. I would do more research though before making my final decision.

Have you considered using Btrfs on Linux as an alternative to ZFS?

Another thing that makes OpenSuse more interesting is the Tumbleweed rolling update repository. This will make it possible to never worry about doing a full upgrade ever again (hopefully). I'm not using Tumbleweed on my desktops because I need the Nvidia proprietary driver and rebuilding it...

I haven't read anything about Red Hat being unfriendly to CentOS, but I haven't looked either. I run OpenSuse on two desktop systems at home, I think they have a very nice distribution. YaST makes administration quite easy and it's available through KDE/GNOME and the CLI. You could also look...

What version of CentOS/RHEL are you using? CentOS 6 should be released fairly soon, but I thought it would be out by now so who knows. Why would you move to another Linux distro? I would avoid (Open)Solaris personally, I don't think it has much of a future. BSD could be a good choice if you...

I'm guessing I won't have any problems, since I use this driver for OpenSuse.

I thought you had a girlfriend, how does she contact you?

Check out Untangle. I think it will do everything you are looking for.

I'm going to try my best though.

I was being sarcastic because of some of the previous posts in the thread.

Damn, I suck at drinking.

I attempted to drink JW Black neat last night, however it was a little strong. I added a little bit of water and it was much better.

Try to browse the modern web on a 10 year old computer, kind of sucks.

Running two apps at the same time would be very nice. I wonder if the phone is up to the task though? My Evo 4G has similar hardware specs and I don't know that it could handle this smoothly. It might not be a problem for a game, but I think it would be annoying to read a document or article...

Looks kind of clunky. I'll admit I only skimmed the review, but can it run a separate application on each of the screens and switch back and forth between them? Say web browser in one and GMail in the other? The screens also seem to be pretty far apart for using a single application and having...

I don't think nuclear will ever be the only option. At some point it might be the only viable option for base load. I think everyone should have a look at Wikipedia's article on Cost of electricity by source. Depending on where the numbers are coming from nuclear is not the most expensive...

Would you trust an Intel SSD more or less than a Samsung mechanical disk?

My installs of OpenSuse use around 5-7GB. I would feel comfortable with a 16GB boot drive. I'm guessing other Linux distros are similar.

Can you reveal what forum this is?

See these bug reports: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7516 https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7400

Nice to know. What model did you get and where did you purchase them?

Speakers don't need drivers.

I use a pair of Sennheiser RS 160 headphones in my office. In the living room I have a HTPC connected to a Denon AVR-1907 via TOSLINK. The receiver is connected to a pair of NHT 2.5i and a Boston Acoustics CRC center channel. I don't have rear speakers.

Klipsch speakers make my eardrums bleed. Horns are meant for stadiums and air horns.

I like beer, wine, liquor, etc.

I got an Intel Pro 2200BG Wireless card out of a broken laptop and put it in the RouterStation Pro. It doesn't even boot up with the card installed. A few Google searches confirm that other people have the same problem.

I'd bring your passport.

Yes, I've made the switch to Linux and haven't looked back, except at work; but it will be a cold day in hell before we switch to Linux on the desktop there.

Well Tannin, you are no less crotchety in retirement.

After spending 5 hours on OpenWRT setup, you are probably right, but I can't abandon this now that everything is working.

I finally got the port forwarding to work. Always test from outside the network. This was certainly much more difficult to setup than a Linksys router. Hopefully, it will be more stable. The speeds are definitely a lot better than with the BEFSX41.

When I used electricity for heat I got a break in the price I was paying in the winter. Does the electric company know you use electric heat?

That is some expensive electricity. I pay 8 cents per kwh.

I am using luci, that's how I configured the rule.

I got the RouterStation Pro up and running. I initially screwed up the network configuration and was unable to connect to the router, so I had to do a hard reset on it and then I loaded what I believe is the latest version of OpenWRT. That part took me about 1 hour. It took an overly long time...
