by tru3ntropy (#41724905) Attached to: Ask Slashdot: Why Does Wireless Gear Degrade Over Time?
I currently have a D-Link DIR655, I've probably had it for four years, but within the last two it has been increasingly dropping my connection where I keep my laptop. There are only about 5 different wireless networks within the vicinity and only one on the 80211.n band I was using, the rest were on g; I tried changing channels and power but that only worked for a little while. Eventually I changed it to 80211.g only and it has been working great ever since.

All of you seem to be making the assumption that the F-22 was built for combat; when in reality the brief was to build the most expensive and elaborate auto-asphyxiation machine for congress, after all hookers can only cost so much. It has been an a-rousing success; speed, blowing stuff up, and giving it to the taxpayers 200 mil at a time that's the American way.

Once again, Facebook seems to be sharing personal information by default, instead on users having to 'opt-in'.
Some other comments and an interesting reaction from Google and how to get around/disable it .
