DSL folks, my problem was cleared up by powering down the dsl modem for a while.
Go to that first. Restarting boxen and routers is not needed.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Um.
My dad used to do all my souping for me, but since I got a laptop I'll have to bring it somewhere.
Unfortunately, it's pretty much impossible to upgrade the video capabilities of a laptop unless you're extremely handy with a soldering iron. And maybe not even then.
In other words, no soup for you. IJS.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
It's a Flowpoint 2210.
No worky, sorry. I have one of those sitting around my house, too, btw, if anyone wants it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Aww, if I bring it in they can't upgrade the video card? That bites.
Stupid self, not thinking of things before I do 'em..

Our wings are not tired
The Treo 650 that I pre-ordered has arrived. The new high rez screen is amazing. Also, it has bluetooth, and with the help of a small hack I've not got it paired with my Powerbook and I can get online from the powerbook anywhere that I have a cell phone signal.
Is it possible to be too connected?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We all hate you now.

Thrive to spite them
ND Last night I dreamed about you and your technology.
A bunch of buffistas (I guess for a F2F) were over at your place and we went to watch movies in this big room you had set up as a theater. Well kind of, you didn't have any chairs, just a huge plasma tv - - the size of a movie screen celebs put in their houses. And some kind of kick ass sound system and lots of other electronics and things in the room. I have no idea what they were but everyone else was impressed and jealous. So we found seats in between the equipment and wires and watched Buffy or Firefly or something like that.

Yep, ND's technology is the stuff of dreams.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New iPods! (OK, actually; revised iPods!)
Let's see if this Apple store link works: [link]
From MacSlash:
"The Mini now has a 6GB disc while the Photo iPod now comes in 30GB and 60 GB sizes. There's also a new, slimer, 40GB iPod." They've dropped gold as a mini color, too. And, according to the press release, you'll soon be able to buy a $29 accessory to upload photos from your digital camera straight to the iPod Photo.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I don't see a 40GB iPod (new or old) at the Apple store!
