Freeway Living (Dec 01 2005 23:52 GMT) - Have you ever noticed how much our lives resemble a freeway? Once we are on it, we are in constant motion. We must remain alert at all times. We speed up, slow down, and switch lanes. We set our eyes straight ahead, look back from time to time, check our side and rear mirrors periodically, do not make any unexpected turns, and get there before the cars all around us. |

Advent Beer Calendar: Day 1: Anchor Christmas Ale (Dec 01 2005 23:52 GMT) - I thought it'd be neat to kick off December by doing a "Beer Advent Calendar" here, featuring a different Christmas beer each day up to Christmas. So, the first beer is Anchor Christmas Ale. Each year the recipe Anchor uses to brew this beer is different, as is the label. |

Who's Hot Today? Akron (Ohio), Cody (Wyo.) (Dec 01 2005 23:51 GMT) - Akron will roll out 62 square miles of Wi-Fi/WiMax: They'll mesh Wi-Fi first, and then add WiMax later. The intent is to mix voice, data, and video over the network, but not be tied to Wi-Fi exclusively. There will be both free and for-fee services. The city will have NeoReach Wireless (part of MobilePro) build and run the network using Strix Systems gear, which has upgradable radio slots. |

The L in Linksys WRT54GL Stands for Linux (Dec 01 2005 23:51 GMT) - The Linux flavor of the WRT54G is still in production, despite newer VxWorks-based version: Good news for the community of hackers, developers, and experimenters who rely on the Linksys WRT54G to power their projects: while the product sold under this model number will no longer use the Linux operating system as its basis, Linksys has created an offshoot model that will continue down the Linux path under the name WRT54GL. The WRT54G in versions 1 through 4 functioned mostly using free and open-source software and operating system components, and after some negotiation a few years ago, Cisco's Linksys division released all the code with modifications that it was required to under a variety of GPL and other software licenses. Wireless hackers immediately figured out how to replace the baked-in firmware with their own firmware images to take advantage of the WRT54G's low cost and high availability. |

Diebold Gets Free Passes In Both California And North Carolina? (Dec 01 2005 23:51 GMT) - The continuing saga of e-voting machine maker Diebold is incredibly odd. It seems fairly self-evident to just about anyone that in order to have a free and fair election, any equipment used in such an election should be open to scrutinization to make sure there are no problems with it. Also, it makes sense that any such system should have a backup -- because we all know that computers run into problems. It's never been at all clear why Diebold has resisted -- but what's scarier is that politicians seem to let them slide by each and every time, no matter how many times evidence of problems with the machines are presented. We've been following two separate Diebold stories over the past couple of weeks, one in California and one in North Carolina -- and there's more news on each right now. |
