I must have been misinformed on the CPU versus RAM/FLASHRAM issue. Thanks for the correction.

No problem. It's easy to get the wrong information, since all of the hackers return their V5s as soon as they learn that they're V5s. :-P

With the DD-WRT can you enter unlimited port forwards? Can you also enter ranges? I'm using Sveasoft only for that reason so I would like to try out DD-WRT some day.

well as this initial poster doesn't want/need any of that extra functionality and simply wants a good router, I'd suggest the Linksys as well. I personally have the WRT54G and it'…

The place where I am setting it up is a 900 sqft apartment with brick walls (no wood construction in Europe). I know if the Apple Base Station does not provide full coverage, I can…

Are the apartment's interior walls brick? That would be a difficulty for any wireless system-not a fatal one, but a difficulty nonetheless. However, an AirPort Base Station comes…

Yes, the interior walls are brick as opposed to the 2x4 and drywall construction in the US. The router should be able to cover the two main rooms of teh apartment which are next to…

I am not saying use Sveasoft or anything, but I have used it on 8 Linksys routers and all are running flawlessly. I will say, however, that by not being very careful and methodica…

It is probably nothing that you will even notice if you havent already. Linksys really did not care if you modded their product. Yes, they did not support it, but whatever made y…

Can you give an example of a few features that are locked out like this? It'd be nice if there was a FAQ on ths stuff.

Actually most of the functions you can get with third-party firmware are "advanced," not stuff most people want, need, or even know how to use. For example, you can crank up the o…

Exactly. Most of the features that are "locked out" are advanced features that most people do not even need and will do fine without.

does this router work well for the new mactels?

Wireless networking is done according to international standards. NOTHING about basic wirless networking-or wired networking, for that matter-is platform dependent.

Just thought I should let the other top gear fans that tonite on Discovery channel, they'll be playing episodes until about 2 this morning I think. Not sure if they're new episode…

well, theyve all been reruns so far... damn ive missed this show

best.show.ever

I'm a relative novice to cars, but I figured I'd tune in anyways. This show really is incredible. Everything about it; the hosts, the music, the cinematography.

I saw one episode of top gear and liked it so much I bothered to write the name of it in MacJournal. When it does it usually air? (Funnily, I read the thread's title quickly and th…

You should see me in the background of some of those episodes. I went down to the studio when they were re-filming the links between the VTs for an American audience.

Theres a new one off Top Gear this weekend, Winter Olympics with cars!! Ski jumping, ice hockey and ice racing. Looks like fun .

I wondered why my TiVo was going crazy last night. The record light was on solid every time I looked.
