i've only ever had a problem with my account getting compromised via the browser. it seems that this system is really only set up for browser access. however, isn't it equally important to secure imap/pop3?

that netgear recommendation above looks good, but this is really promising. especially the fact that it seems unbrickable.

Out of Tomato / dd-wrt / Open-WRT, which do you rate best in terms of day-by-day stability / low maintenance? (Please, no modularity and scriptability)

i've sort of wondered this as well, but perhaps approach it from a different standpoint. i wouldn't sacrifice versatility/usability for low maintenance. stability is important, but i can mess with stuff if need be. i would like to know i'm not going to brick my router, though. ;)

yeah i was gonna say that should fix it up. speaking of which, was planning on getting a new 802.11n router with a couple gigabit ethernet ports to throw dd-wrt on. any suggestions? i need big enough storage to get vpn going, too.

Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? 611

RobHart writes "The LA Times is reporting that the Gulf oil leak appears to have been plugged by the 'top kill.' 'Thad Allen, who is coordinating the government response, says the well still has low pressure, but cement will be used to cap the well permanently as soon as the pressure hits zero.'"

Been meaning to write this one for a while, but you know how time is. The following is an account of a...misadventure had by myself, OctobrX and Rob Walker of VA Research while at the Atlanta Linux Showcase (which was great, BTW). None of the names have been changed, because, well, no one's an innocent these days. Click below for the story.
