just to throw this into the mix but I've got mediatomb running on my flashed asus router, it's available as a binary package via ipkg IIRC. The benefit is that you can use a bit of "always on kit" to do your media serving too without running a separate PC to do the job.

FYI - those things you listed are all available as packages for dd-wrt/openwrt/tomato routers. e.g. I've got mediatomb running on my router,which servers some tunes etc on a stick plugged in to its side. I figured it was cheaper than having a PC on all the time as a media server.

so... if we all mounted our APs in the roof space with directional antenna pointed down we'd *all* have better wifi rececption. For me, my AP would be one layer of plasterboard worse off than where it is now (but with a gain from the antenna hopefully). I could use a Wok instead of an aerial change so it's cheap too.

but we're cool with that bit, it's the extinguish bit we don't like

the recovery is probably automated too

but which one is better there's only one way to find out...

what happens if I post one of my photos on t'net, you copy it and display it on your site, I claim copyright infringement (but I don't sue or anything because I don't care) - you get a strike, we repeat this with 5 other people, you get stuck out. Now you've got / we've all got 6 strikes but no one cares, what then?

fantastic, what's the maximum wage going to be? I'll start $200USDph

my ps1 got replaced with my ps2, which got replaced with my ps3 which will get replaced by something other than a ps4 because... geohot

my old 20yo knackered Mk1 Golf GTi after eating a ring and thus having no compression on one of the cylinders got better mileage than that. I get 60mpg out of its replacement.
