They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low. Well thats reassuring.

any wrt54gr in the house? this thing is driving me insane. worked fine for the first month...now it's slow as shit. web pages take forever to load. i reset it...then it works fine for like 10min, then everything slows down to a crawl again. even that's a mixed bag...reseting sometimes doesn't help at all. loading speed picks up from time to time, but most of the time it crawls.
DL speeds are fine though. can max out my connection...just webpages. WTF? it's not my modem, cuz pages load lightning fast when i bypass the router and connect the comp directly to the modem. i haven't canged the settings since i first installed it. wtf gives?
also, is there anyway to see how many connections there are on my wifi network?

I know there are some shackers who use Digg. I have a few of the feeds in my RSS reader to help me keep up to speed on tech stuff.
Here is one thread I thought was interesting:
http://digg.com/design/Digg_feature_request_Private_message_other_Digg_users_Digg_if_you_agree
TL;DR: Someone suggesting basically Shackmessages for Digg ... a PM system.
The only negative reply is "OMG, there will be SPAM".
Now I have been Shacking for a while, Registered the account in 1999, and have a few thousand posts. I really have not got any spam in my SM account and count it as one of the best features here on the shack.
I know that there are more morons on Digg, so more people looking to spam it, but yeah, I don't think it would be that bad and all.
Your thoughts?
NOTE: i am crashing soon, and will pick this up in a few hours

The F-14 has completed its decommissioning from the U.S. Navy. It was slated to remain in service through at least 2008, but all F-14A and F-14B airframes have already been retired, and the last two squadrons, the VF-31 Tomcatters and the VF-213 Black Lions, both flying the "D" models, arrived for their last fly-i5] at Naval Air Station Oceana on March 10, 2006. The F-14 Tomcat will be removed from service and officially stricken from the inventory in September of 2006.]q]/

I think I'm having seperation anxiety from my childhood home.
I'm 20, and heading off to college in Chicago. Because of a housing fiasco, I'm not getting a place until October 1st, so I'm staying with friends during the week (and commuting via bus 2 hours one-way 3-4 times a week.)
I'm going to put it bluntly: this place is my cradle of life, and I cannot imagine leaving it and my single mother behind by herself.
How have you and the parent(s) managed to adjust to an abrupt moving away, and how long did it take to adjust? Every time I come back here, I don't want to leave.
I wish we never had to grow up.

With the youtube thing, the best I can come up with, is that, for some reason, it seems google video doesn't have as much content, but I won't even deviate from youtube to check it out, I have no evidence to back this up, but I feel it.... Youtube seems instrinsicly better.
I think I don't use google talk because no one else uses it? Did they put out a product in an over saturated market? I used it for a few days and it was much better than AIM. Probably %90 percent of the people in my life have never heard of it, so that probably means it was never marketed correctly I guess. This could probably be said for the majority of googe products. "Computer People" know all about what google offers, but the average joe doesn't seem to. Its strange because everyone knows "google" but they seem to know it as a serach engine only. Now I am no expert at business/marketing by any means, but it just seems like, compared to apple, that google is dropping the ball big time. Maybe i'm just comparing 2 unlike things, and google has other plans/goals, but it feels like in 8 years, google is gonna be a "remember google".

-Make sure that all my songs are properly tagged with their true album etc.
-Go through every album and add its artwork from Amazon
