Linksys says faster..FASTER!

Linksys says faster..FASTER! 01/04/2005 08:10 PM
Over at CES, Linksys will be announcing a new series of 802.11g products that integrate SRX, a new speed boosting feature.

Currently, 802.11g networks have a range of between 120 and 160 feet and a transfer at 54mbps.

Linksys claims that the SRX enabled 802.11g products can provide 3 times the range (450 feet) and is 8 times faster (i.e. nearly USB 2 speed wireless).

It's completely compatible with other 802.11g and 802.11b networks.

The wireless router is expected to sell for $199 and each card around $129 and should be available at stores shortly.

I'm faster than you are

I'm faster than you are 03/08/2004 11:12 PM
RCN, my ISP, has recently upped its performance to 5 gigabits. (I sometimes get my units confused so go ahead and have a good laugh at a dumb liberal arts major.) According to DSLreports. I'm running at 4.1 and SpeedCheck says I'm at 4.4. I don't mean to rub your faces in it, but downloading is pretty durn peppy. Why, my pornographic spam is downloading in a fraction of the time that it used to! (Upload times are still under 700kbps.) So, when will RCN start offering Voice over IP?...

Changed the layout of the page slightly, resulting in significantly improved rendering speed. It's funny how a small piece of Javascript in a wrong place can suddenly block the entire rendering...

Note to self (which every web-designer knows, but often forgets in a hurry - and that's my story and I'm sticking to it): Always put the important content first, and all your fluff last.

Let me know if this does not work with some browsers. Don't bother with Netscape 4 :)

Watching TV. Faster.

Watching TV. Faster. 03/15/2003 04:04 PM

Buried in this story over at PCWorld on all the unexpected gadgets that getting WiFi added to them, like a digital camera from Sanyo and a handheld file server from Sony, is this: a new DVD recorder from Matsushita that records television shows at 1.3 times faster than normal speed. Why? "That's slow enough to understand what is going on but also cuts the time it takes to watch a TV show by a quarter." Sounds crazy, but if you're a busy person, that'll skim fifteen minutes off an hour-long show.

Here at Gizmodo we've got another trick for cramming more TV into less time, though it only works with a TiVo or other digital video recorder: turn on closed-captioning and watch the show on TiVo's slowest fast-forward setting. The captions will still pop up, so you won't miss what anyone's saying, but everything will happen in double-speed, making it perfect for watching three episodes of Blind Date in a half hour. And yes, we know how fucked up this is.

Top Tip: Is cable faster than DSL? 12/31/2003 02:31 PM
I have neither cable or DSL, but the slow dial-up still. I can't get Cable and my ISP provides DSL but I'm too far and they won't extend it to reach me because it's too costly. Anyhow, I still keep an eye on the two internet connections and hopefully will be using one of the two in the next few years or so. I'm curious on knowing the faster one.

Crackers Are Faster Than You

Crackers Are Faster Than You 08/18/2004 02:49 PM

Here's a scary statistic that I hadn't considered before: SANS keeps a graph of the amount of time you can have an unprotected PC on the Internet before you get some kind of exploit probe. Since last year, this time has gone from 40-60 minutes down to around 20-30 minutes, which is less time than you usually need to download your service packs and patches for a new install.

The average time between probes will vary widely from network to network. Some of our submitters subscribe to ISPs which block ports commonly used by worms. As a result, these submitters report a much longer 'survival time'. On the other hand, University Networks and users of high speed internet services are frequently targeted with additional scans from malware like bots. If you are connected to such a network, your 'survival time' will be much smaller.

SANS includes a link to a PDF entitled 'Windows XP: Surviving the First Day'. As always, a $60 broadband router/firewall box will deal with most of these problems for you.
