So, if you lose money, you're "rogue". But if you win money, you're "managing director"?

I too like Moblin on my Acer Aspire One. It feels much better for a netbook than XP or Fedora which are also installed on the netbook. My only gripe is the media player doesn't come with proprietary codec support and I can't find any repo that provides those ala rpmfusion. Oh, that and no adblock for the moblin browser.

My own anecdote, everytime I'm doing heavy transfer with 802.11, my wireless keyboard and mouse get wonky. Mind you, this is with my HTPC and the keyboard and mouse(pad) is a bit far away, but they both work flawlessly as soon as I throw in good ol' ethernet cable to the HTPC.
So yeah, wired ethernet will be here for a while.
Comment: What do you mean by VoIP? (Score 1) 180
VoIP need to be clarified here. Does it mean Voice that comes from IP network and terminates to PSTN? Or simply voice packets that travels through IP network and never touches PSTN?
Honestly, I don't see how any country can outlaw voice that never terminates to PSTN. Some countries might have national PSTN monopoly but if the packets never crosses to PSTN realm, how can you outlaw it? Voice packets are almost the same as any other IP packets. Heck, a SIP proxy can be set up in no time at all and most can support TLS connection these days. Couple with some SRTP and voila.. encrypted voice packets.
