Angry consumers began rushing the store on Saturday afternoon after a 'foreign' Apple employee allegedly stepped into the crowd to push and beat people suspected of queue jumping, the Beijing News said."

Comment Re:DD-WRT + QoS (Score 1) 520

I'm using Tomato right now, and the QoS implementation does now allow you to set classifications based on SSID or Wireless vs Wired - it allows classification by specific IP or MAC, but that would mean tweaking the classifications every time a new device shows up. That's not a practical solution. Additionally, I don't see a way to enable multiple SSIDs using Tomato.

I used to use DD-WRT, and I do remember being able to configure multiple SSIDs on a single router, some with encryption and some without. So if DD-WRT allows configuring QoS based on which SSID a user is connected to, that would certainly be a good solution. I just don't remember their QoS all that well.

The truth is, ISPs need happy customers, or else they will lose them to other ISPs.

Uhh, which other ISPs would they lose the customers to? Very few communities have any sort of choice when it comes to broadband. So the wallet-voting you're proposing is for everyone to go without any sort of broadband access? Good luck with that.

Except if you want to actually test/debug your XNA-developed games on the 360, you need to pay a $99/year subscription fee. If you don't pay that fee, you can't do anything with your homebrew game other than play it on PC. Additionally, XNA only allows development of games - there's far more to homebrew than just gaming.
