Re: WRT54GX4 - Blackberry

Forgive my ignorance if it is apparent...

It is set up to WEP (64 bits 10 hex).
Association Mode - Auto

Using any of the 4 generated WEP keys, it will still not connect. In fact with all security features turned off....same problem.

thanks for answering...any more thoughts?
I just googled it all again, and can't find any answers for this model. Read More

V1 phone headset (helpfully) talks back

Bluetooth wireless headsets for mobile phones are puzzling: We're supposed to control them with couple of unmarked buttons and get feedback from a single indicator light.

Condom Gun Is Perfect Weapon for Sure Shooters, Hippies

@Curves: Yeah, why is that so many things seem to come in some kind of gun shaped container now? I've even seen computers that look like bombs. Why? I guess they never plan on actually taking these anywhere?

Next question. What exactly is the caliber of person who would actually use this sort of thing? Gangsta hookers or the gangsta thugs? I'm pretty sure neither McCain or Obama are considering purchase of one of these little pristine emblems of our wonderful society. My main fear is that something happens to all of us, and thousands of years from now, archeologists come back to study our civilization and find this kind of thing. What kinds of reports would they write?

But I still laughed anyway. Especially at several of they comments above. =)

@GadgetPlay: Shopping around, actually. XDm seems damn impressive, but .40 isn't .45. Although it seems to be gaining popularity. IMO it's probably not smart to get something which uses hard to find ammo, even if it's condoms. :)
