Our wings are not tired

Paul is unwilling to rid himself of our CRT, as anything we could in theory afford that isn't a CRT simply isn't up to his standards.

I'm that way with my Studio stuff. Very picky about gear. In my living room, NSM. I'd rather spend my money on my studio.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey, Steph, I have that Belkin. I can't offer anything other than my own experience, but it's worked flawlessly for me (albeit on a PC setup instead).

I've got a Linksys and a D-Link, and an Airport that all work great with both my Macs and PC's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It just gets worse....

Microsoft security researchers are warning about a new generation of powerful system monitoring programs, or "rootkits," that are almost impossible to detect using current security products and that could pose a serious risk to corporations and individuals.

...

...kernel rootkits, which modify the kernel, or core request processing, component of an operating system, are becoming more common. Rootkit authors are also making huge strides in their ability to hide their creations, said Danseglio.

In particular, some newer rootkits are able to intercept queries or "system calls" that are passed to the kernel and filter out queries generated by the rootkit software. The result is that typical signs that a program is running, such as an executable file name, a named process that uses some of the computer's memory, or configuration settings in the operating system's registry, are invisible to administrators and to detection tools, said Danseglio.

Steph, mine is a 3COM, but I use at other places several Linksys units with no issues. Belkin certainly has been around long enough to give me confidence in their name. In short, probably any of the ones you are looking at should work for you. And YaY for wireless.

Trust my rage

Is it possible to get an RSS feed (using Firefox) for my LJ flist? I can only figure out how to get a feed for my own entries, which, you know, I already know.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Gmail looks like it may be going wide very soon. I was on the waiting list for a gmail account since May and I finally got an invitation to join the service.

I got one today, too. Not that I plan to use it (someone else already scarfed up "dxmachina@gmail.com"), but hey, not feeling as left out.
