Slashdot used to be friends with Unicode until vandals started abusing Unicode bidirectionality.

Not all are Evil, most are just Chaotic Neutral.

Or this one from Netgear.

Anyone have experience with these?

Would not recommend using the coax as a solder hack-job to RJ45 connectors. Running all new cabling is easy provided you have the proper tools (flashlight, fish tape/rod, box of cable, cordless drill, long drill bit 3/8-1/2" head, box of draw-string, and a helper)

Do yourself a big favor, and when you pull in your shiny new ethernet, tie in some drawstrings so you never have to repeat the process.

The apparent cost of the project is $7/Watt http://www.nytimes.com/cwire/2010/02/17/17climatewire-doe-delivers-its-first-long-awaited-nuclear-71731.html with Japan providing other loan guarantees. Since Japan has been escalating pricing for the South Texas project, we can guess the same will happen in this case. I'd guess that $14/Watt is about where this will end up, completely uneconomical. The loans will default and the taxpayers will pay.

True. And people don't know that. What people also need to understand is that with global warming, weather patterns shift. As Texas and DC just got through a snowstorm, the Olympics in Canada are almost without snow.

One day of weather does not = 15 or 20 years of weather trends. People need to know that.

Similarly, an 8800GT (which I bought around two years ago for under $200) is more than enough for most games on the market. The 9800GT (identical chipset) is under $100 these days I think.

I'm baffled, too, that a civilized country in the twenty first century can still use an outdated, archaic, and downright offensive concept such as "race" for any purpose, much less on government level. Nonetheless, so far as I can tell, it's kept tracked on many levels in US, mainly to implement "affirmative action" policies.

After all, to right the wrongs against blacks, you must first determine which of your citizens are black, and which are not - so you know who's the advantaged party, and who is declared a scapegoat for past discriminations

Don't reduce the number, reduce the size. Every time I see a road I see 90% of the cars with one driver and three empty seats. Taking out the back seats would really help (Smart car: 3.3 litres / 100 km, compared to 5-6 litres (the hybrids) and 9 litres (normal cars)). Motorcycles are a heavy sacrifice on comfort and safety but they go down to 2 litres. Think of the traffic congestion problems that some healthy downsizing would also fix (no idling, even more fuel economy!).

Dial up is pretty much only good for granny checking her email once a week, and then only if nobody sends her pictures of the grandkids.
