Cowon A3 plays Matroska.. Q5W filters out MKV extension.. no play joy

Q5W won’t play MP4,
Q5W won’t play  MKV,
Q5W won’t play  M4K

… very disappointing

dd-wrt 23 sp2 vs tomato 1.15 — screencaps and whatnot

briefly

tomato has more intuitive QoS controls

• 

• 
• 
• 

tomato has shinier bandwidth graphs

• 

• 

dd-wrt screenshots later

When KAID, VPN, and VoIP are not an issue tomato is the way to go.

I’m days away from donating $20 to dd-wrt to try their ’special’ QoS edition!

mobile phone laptop cars? AlphaCOM rolling over in grave

AlphaCOM, pioneers of mobile PCMCIA cards, rolls eyes over “new” mobile phone company’s laptop cards.  It was cool at 1997 COMDEX.  19.2k with LOTS of compression?  Remember when I suggested bonding multiple cards TEN YEARS AGO?  Bonding isn’t new, but its time has come again.  Most laptops have two PCMCIA slots.  2x broadband > 1x broadband

But $49 is better than the $600 I spent four years ago testing cards from VerizonEvil Wireless and AT&T.  I had a less unpleasant experience tethering my laptop to my moto.

RFID Passport Shield Failure Demo — using the gestapo to kill more flying Americans

solution? 666 tatoo time

Farraday shielding for US RFID passports? … let the RFID poison spamming begin

yes, its a sad day when citizens need tiny Farraday enclosures for their identification.  Farraday cages?  No, this is a new kind of digital draconia

As you’ll see in the photos, the 30% off ones have slightly different
copyright text than the lower (10% 5% 15%) booklets. If you get one
with a 29528_1 to the left of the copyright symbol on the back cover,
you have a lower one. If there’s no text to the left of the the
copyright symbol, you’ve got the 30% off!

sony mylo … only nine year old technology pirated from SkyTel

mylo .. sony wireless social networking device

for people who use instant messaging as a primary form of communication
and networking for their social life. … lets you use instant
messaging, browse the Internet, listen to music, send emails and view
photos concurrently…. pocket small, color LCD, Google Talk, Skype and
Yahoo.

remember the “CLIE S320 with MYLO wireless sled”

it bears a striking resemblance to the SkyTel attachment for Palm about NINE YEARS AGO

NINE YEARS AGO this was cutting edge… just like 3G via PCMCIA.

:sigh:

fascist-ready ™ chip implant technology: its for the children

A tiresome argument for fascist-ready ™ technology sounds like AlGore: its for the children

Or children who have been abducted.

remember Franklin….

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither

The Sagacious Solution ™ is to carry a device that spams RFID signals. There’s little sense trying to block the information… so give LOTS and LOTS of bad data to devalue the information
