3/29    Anyone know if Fry's sells minipci wireless 802.11b/g? Or is
        minipci still a mail-order commodity? Second question. If I buy
        a 802.11g hub, can it communicate with old 802.11b devices? ok thx
        \_ second question: "When an 802.11b client was used (various
           802.11b-only cards) in proximity to the access point, data rates
           would drop back to 802.11b levels."
           From http://www.nwfusion.com/reviews/2003/0512rev11g.html
           \_ Yes, it can communicate, and yes you will experience that effect.
              Basically your G devices are happily speaking the G-level
              protocol to each other and a B-level device shows up and says
              "Is anybody out there?" and your WAP starts speaking B to
              everyone so that the new client can connect.  If you want to have
              B and G coexist without that problem, you'd need a seperate WAP
              on a different channel which is set to speak only 802.11g.
        \_ no it is still mostly mail order. I just went to Fry's and they
           don't have anything like that. By the way the different types of
           802.11g is just confusing. Different companies have different
           variants, like 802.11g Pre-N (8X coverage), and then you have the
           54g and 108g with dual band, but only if you buy their cards, etc.
           I don't think 802.11g will really be all that feasible because
           it's still slow when you have 802.11b nodes nearby, and it's
           unlikely that all the 802.11b folks are switching to 802.11g
           any time soon.
        \_ As an aside, if you're going to run *nix with it, some of the
           Atheros miniPCI card drivers are a bit goofy (even with MadWifi
           and the Windows driver wrappers, forget what they're called.) -John

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

wireless LAN products (54M bit/sec, 24-GHz frequency) from coming to market. We obtained seven prestandard access points and put them thr ough their paces. This gear is pointed largely toward home and small bus iness markets, and the product features show it. Buffalo 's products hit our doors first - and, like many of the participants, th e company followed up with several CDs or fat firmware files worth of re visions in the three months after products were released. The D-Link DI-624 and Belkin's 54g products win our Blue Ribbon Award - B elkin's installation, management and performance were very good, and in terms of raw performance, D-Link's DI-624 was positively blazing - outdi stancing the competition. But are any of these products ready for production deployment? All these products are upgradeable, but it's difficult to tell how the changes will affect performance. Some access points were more sensitive to fallback data rates and might be perceived as slower as a result. Mixed mode performance drops are typical and part of the draft standar d This effect likely will continue to change until stabilized under the final standard when it is agreed on in the early summer. Because of the expected changes that will take place in the standard, speeds are likel y to change when subsequent firmware arrives for each access point. D-Link's DI-624 had the largest range (344 feet), and Buffalo's gear had the smallest radio range (about 213 feet) before signals degraded to uselessness.
