More like the Microsoft App Store is a bad example of clickbait.

There isn't much in the way of video production / compositing /3D modeling software for Android, now is there?

And Apple's model works for the "average consumer." How about people who are producing content rather than consuming it? Right now, they use desktop PC's and software that will never been in the MS walled garden.

Except in the case of a systemic infection like Ebola. Even sweat is a disease vector with Ebola, because it breaks down the endothelial cells.

Rather, 1920i.

Then it would be 960i

Slashdot is a middleman to news - as are the Gawker sites. You may find utility in the public forum, but that doesn't change what Slashdot is. It's the Facebook you find acceptable - you like the moderation system here better than "Likes." You could go directly to the source to read your news.

So what brings you to Slashdot, then?

Oh, good. Someone already explained this for me. Their site is set up (like every other Gawker site) in more or less a Slashdot fashion. A (more long-winded) summary, a buried link to the original article it's regurgitated from, and then the comments.

Or even an Excel macro...You'd be surprised what you can wrangle vbscript to do within a macro on a spreadsheet if you have no other options.

A) I believe that will continue to work just fine. The only problem is if there are user-configurable settings for that. You won't have a direct IP connection to the modem in bridge mode without removing the router from the middle.
B) is the reason everyone wants to put it in true bridge mode. It eliminates that problem 100%.
C) I wonder if you can just backup your whole set of NVRAM settings so you can reset and reload if anything goes wrong. I haven't looked into that but it might be available over telnet.

After rooting it, you need to put it in true bridge mode and get a real router. That's what works. There were manual instructions for rooting at one time on that site. I don't know where to look

DMZ is not as clean as true bridge mode. And in many cases, there are protocols that just don't work. And then the modem/router is processing the packets and you're more bound by its (crappy) CPU.

You beat me to it. Thankfully, I don't have one. But if you do and you're stuck on AT&T, there is a good workaround (finally). It lets you have root via telnet and you can get true bridge mode.

Artificially inflating the price of Internet and then giving a bundling discount is the same as forcing you to pay for the cable package. Don't look at the $0 on the column on the right. It's a dummy number.

It was broadband that killed that. The software (those distros, anyway) was free anyway unless you wanted support. As soon as it was easier and cheaper to download at home, that's what people did.
