Probably is a bug or something, with original firmware i had to reboot my WRTG54G every 2 weeks, with a custom firmware i just not do that. This is the output of my own WRT54G running Sveasoft custom firmware: ....

Microsoft to Pay $240 Million for Stake in Facebook 277

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday October 24, 2007 @05:45PM from the facebook-laughing-all-the-way-to-the-bank dept.

Nrbelex writes to mention The New York Times is reporting that Microsoft has beat out Google and Yahoo for a 1.6% stake in Facebook. The investment will cost Microsoft $240 million valuing the total site at somewhere around $15 billion. "The astronomical valuation for Facebook is primarily evidence that Microsoft executives believed they could not afford to lose out on the Facebook deal. Google appears to be building a dominant position in the race to serve advertisements online. Fearing it might lose control over the next generation of computer users, Microsoft has been attempting to match and in some cases block Google's plans, even if that effort is costly."
