Submission + - Questions to ask before buying a wireless router (blogspot.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Before you start to conquer the best router, take the time to assess your needs. Otherwise, you could buy a much too powerful and expensive router for your needs. Or instead, you could be forced to buy a new one next year because you quickly saturated the capacity of the router. But how to dissect your needs?

Submission + - Opportunity Breaks NASA's 40-Year Roving Record (discovery.com)

astroengine writes: After nine years of hard Mars roving, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity has broken a 40-year-old extraterrestrial distance record. On Thursday, the tenacious six-wheeled robot drove 80 meters (263 feet), nudging the total distance traveled since landing on the red planet in 2004 to 35.760 kilometers (22.220 miles). NASA’s previous distance record was held by Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt when, in December 1972, they drove their Lunar Roving Vehicle 35.744 kilometers (22.210 miles) over the lunar surface. Although it's broken the NASA distance record, it hasn't surpassed the international record, yet. The Soviet Lunokhod 2 remote-controlled moon rover roved 37 kilometers (23 miles) across the lunar surface and, so far, remains the undisputed champion of distance driving on an extraterrestrial surface.

Comment You don't always have to make new addresses (Score 1) 247

Some mail hosts & websites support using +notation in email addresses (i.e. gmail & google apps). So rather than generating new email addresses for everything, I do something like myemail+webpage@mydomain.com. When you look at who the email was sent to it should repeat this same pattern.

Comment Sooner or later (Score 1) 303

Sooner or later they're going to realize that the internet is not conducive to their monopolistic, pricing model. I expect at some point they're just going to try and blanket take down all media on the internet, then come up with their own Internet3 crippled with DRM. Of course they'll sell signing keys and leases to indy publishers after enough red tape and time...

Comment By design? (Score 1) 282

Clearly the solution here is to give Sony more personal information than you already have. How about your SSN, relative's contact info, 3rd grade report card, or facebook login (hoping you don't use the same login there). If Sony doesn't get their act together though, this will just turn into a cycle. There really is no way to identify someone on the internet other than using one issued by some other body such as a SSN or CCN who has hopefully done their legwork to verify your applications for ID are legitimate.

Submission + - SoundExchange Shuts Down SWCast Internet Radio (broadcastlawblog.com)

grilled-cheese writes: On April 18th, SoundExchange filed a DMCA shutdown notice with the ISP for SWCast.net for failing to pay music royalties on behalf of small internet radio stations after 2005. While these internet radio stations had been paying SWCast for years under the promise of full recording industry compliance, they are now being forced to shutdown or seek alternatives for paying internet broadcast royalty fees.
