Bzzzt. There is no medical evidence of colloidal silver's safety or effectiveness. OTOH it may very well turn you blue. I wouldn't try it.

Verizon walks you through the (fairly involved, for a newbie) process of manually changing your DNS settings. They maintain one set of DNS addresses that do hijacking, and one set (the xx.xx.xx.14 addresses) that do not.hijack. It's a one time thing, and it's under your control.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck's?
Igor: [pause, then] No.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: Then you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby Someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [chuckles, then] Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?
[grabs Igor and starts throttling him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Is that what you're telling me?
Google is going to follow the model used by Mac OS X - ship your own next generation windowing system, then follow up with a rootless X window manager for compatibility with all the apps that are out there.
I am not a regular OS X user so I'd like to hear from those who use it daily; do you find yourselves running X apps frequently, or are you running Cocoa apps exclusively?
Why are they pissing off a significant percentage of my target audience?
That kind of thinking is what propelled Nader's candidacy in 2000. And look what that got us. If the two candidates both suck on tech issues then you have to decide on some other basis. Me, I want my Bill of Rights back. I want Guantanamo shut down. I want a sane foreign policy. So I'm voting for Obama.

You might remember that the 802.11n "Draft 2.0" specification was finally approved just a couple months ago, and since the final 802.11n standard is guaranteed to be compatible with that version, the Wi-Fi Alliance (the trade group that controls the Wi-Fi spec) has retooled the Wi-Fi logo and decided to start certifying products as "802.11n Draft 2.0 certified," in anticipation of the spec being formally released in 2008. There's only a few products on the list released today: router/card combos from Atheros, Broadcom, and Marvell; Cisco and Intel APs; and a chipset / router combo from Ralink. This is, of course, in contrast to the veritable cornucopia of products (hello, Santa Rosa) that meet the earlier draft-n spec, which the Alliance did not certify. While we understand the need for the Wi-Fi Alliance to somehow regulate the enormous number of possibly-incompatible draft-n implementations out there, we'd much rather it just hurry up and finish the 802.11n spec already -- it's been two and a half years. Peep the full list of Draft 2.0 certified products after the jump.Continue reading Wi-Fi Alliance unveils first 802.11n Draft 2.0 products
