Every router I have ever seen has an option for "n only" or "a only" or whatever band only.
Just turn off the older standards. Done and done. Some people may want to maintain compatibility with legacy devices. That should be their choice.
I get it from Ninite.
I'm an avid cyclist and ride lots of miles per year. No computer. No electronics. No power meter. No GPS. No nothing.
I don't bother with "group rides" anymore because, well for starters I'm sick and tired of the "I'm Lance" crowd always biking off and riding like dicks - but they all have one thing in common - they're quite figuratively buried in electronic gadgets and spend 90% of their time on the ride staring down at a computer display and shouting out numbers at each other in some sort of ersatz dick-measuring contest to see who's is "putting out more watts!"
This obsession with electronics in sport is ruining sport. It's no longer sport. It's my computer versus your computer.
Not if the government does it. The government doesn't have to follow the laws it passes for we the peasants.
Where do you think mosquito larvae come from? Do you think a stork drops them into the water?
Most of the time when I have an external HDD bite the dust, it's the USB interface and not the drive. I yank the drive out of the enclosure and it works just fine... I've had that happen with several WD external drives in the last few years.
I bought 10 Seagate 3TB drives less than one year ago for my media server and have already had to replace two of them for hard failures (replaced with WD Red drives).
Do you believe that he is not telling the truth in this case?
Where's the link?
There is a local translator that brings in a lot of TV stations, so I'm not sure how much whitespace is there. It's something worth looking into though, if only for the education.
My home is 18,000 feet from the DSLAM. Using ReADSL I can get 1.5/384 at best, but it usually negotiates around 1.3mbit down and ~300kbit up.
I've been through these hoops with AT&T and they are simply not interested unless the feds are paying for it. They refuse to tell me where they do offer ADSLv2 and ADSL+ Uverse service, so I don't know how close I am to a VRAD where Uverse and bonded DSL are offered.
Almost everyone in the neighborhood has AT&T already. Four of the 22 owners went satellite for everything and are just sucking up and paying for it, but they hate that _almost_ as much as being AT&T customers. You're right that we're small potatoes. We're 22 homes in a part of the county where there isn't a whole lot of income outside of our development to go around paying for premium information services.
We do have an electric co-op that serves our neighborhood, so that's something I hadn't thought of. I don't believe they offer BPL services - at least nothing is listed on their website - but it can't hurt to make a phone call.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
