It looks like John will become our first regular member to break 1,000
posts and become the site's first senior member. Thats a impressive
accomplishment since he joined the site on 7\21\2007, about 5.5 months
ago. In case you were wondering, it take 6 posts a day to do that.
Congratulations John!

I'm am pretty upset about this. A Florida based personal information brokerage company appealed to the state Supreme Court for the personal data of drivers accross the state. Their claim was based upon the fact that public information is covered by a 1997 federal law that required the release of personal information to duly constituted authorites AND THEIR CONTRACTORS.
They won.

I just thought I'd post about a product I find tremendously useful. ClarkConnect is a free, closed source Linux distribution. Its focus is on being one of the best SOHO or Small Business Router and Firewall appliance. It can be setup in about 15 minutes and offers the features of routers costing many thousands of dollars. Add in the magic word 'FREE' and some solid support and its a winner in my book.
Here's a feature list:

Tom's Hardware has just wrapped up a review of some keyboards aimed at gamers. All of these keyboard feature a backlighting feature which dramtatically enhances night time use. I've been using a Saitek Eclipse for a couple of years and I really like it. The review compares the newer Saitek to simlar models for a few other companies. This is worth reading if you aren't familar with backlit keyboards.

At least according to PC World. Its an interesting point they make. But, I will say that I'm quite happy with the scurity of my Vista systems. Heck, I've been happy with Windows since SP2 and IE7 came out for XP. Here's the link on Digg .

Here's a woman who signed up for the 'unlimited' plan @ $59 a month and at the end of the month received a bill for -- $14062.27. Yes, you read that right, fourteen thousand dollars. Oh, and her service never actually worked.
Here's a link to the video on Youtube: Largest Sprint Bill Ever
And, thanks to the Consumerist you can call a direct line to Sprint, just in case you need to discuss this.

In less than one quarter, sales of Asus' Eee pc have far exceeded expectations. Shipments were intially estimated for 300,000 units by the end of the quarter. Yet, already 350,000 units have been sold, nearly 20% above expectations.

I was recently given the chance by a friend of mine to help
her setup her new Asus Eee UMPC. My first impression of this thing when I first
started with it was, "Holy cow how am I ever going to be able to fit my
big hands on that tiny keyboard". From then on, it was really smooth
sailing. The OS they pre-load on it is a custom Asus rendition of Xandros Linux
running IceWM as the window manager, and I have to say, they really put some
thought and effort into this thing. I was immediately impressed with the layout
of the GUI. There are tabs at the top of the screen to switch between your
different sections, for example Internet applications, Games, Education and
Settings. Then inside of those tabs are icons that are literally your computer
background...that's right, there is no computer background, your background is
an interactive icon style navigation tool. I just thought that this was the
neatest thing ever! Exploring a little more, it's pretty easy to setup things
like wireless network and user preferences. However, in exploring I came to
find out that they had hidden the terminal somewhere, and I needed it to
configure the wireless to use WPA Enterprise. Come to find out, after finding
the terminal, that many other Eee users were having the same wireless issues
and that the Eee was actually incapable of doing it regardless of what
you try to do to it. So, needless to say I was very disappointed. So I gave my
friend two options. It explains in the manual how you can use an external CDROM
drive to install windows XP (Very smart move Asus) and I said I could either
install Windows XP, but she would need to buy a USB cd drive and they run about
$50 or I told her I could try this thing I found that by putting Ubuntu on a
Pendrive and then booting from that, I could install Ubuntu Linux on her Eee
and it would then be capable of getting on the wireless....

A lack of innovation in the video card market and lack of success from AMD's quad cores makes the end of 2007 seem very sluggish. 2007 was supposed to be a year of significant advancement in the computer hardware world. In some ways, it was, but in others, 2007 left me wanting so much more.
