Re: Of course techies aren't going to care!
Most times I am using Opera which has a convenient Image toggle and Author Mode / User mode toggle on the tool bar.
Opera also has a easy to edit personal bar which holds all my daily visit hosting control panel access, forums and email access pages.
More convenient features from Opera:an easy to edit magic wand to auto insert username and passwords.
One click to open all links in a browser. For example I can open ten forums or open ten pages of a portal all at one go.
And Opera lets you import IE favourites and save them in a html file. I open this html file, see the link I want to visit and click on it. LOL
Only problem is there are some sites which are not browser compatible with Opera. Like Gmail for instance. |

| Penn STATE STUDY REPORTS BPL CAPABLE> 1gbps speed
fyi: from UPLC.ORG, JAN.18, 2005
INDUSTRY: PENN STATE STUDY REPORTS BPL CAPABLE OF 1 Gbps SPEEDS
Imagine BPL speeds of 1 Gigabit per second. A Penn State professor says BPL is not far off today, even though speeds now are only in the order of 2-3 Mbps. Professor Mohsen Kavehrad, Director of Penn State’s Center for Information & Communications Technology published an AT&T-funded study which developed a computer-simulated power line transmission model that came close to achieving these speeds under ideal conditions. Prof. Kavehrad stated "if you condition those power lines, they're an omnipresent national treasure waiting to be tapped for broadband Internet service delivery, especially in rural areas where cable or DSL are unavailable." He concluded that junctions and branches in the U.S. overhead grid cause broadband signals to reflect, resulting in degradation and decreased transmission capacity. "The signal can bounce back and forth in the lines if there is no proper impedance matching," said Kavehrad: "The bouncing takes energy away from the signal and the loss is reflected in the ultimate capacity." Under their model, the researchers said repeaters would be placed every 0.62 mile and power lines would have to be modified to reduce interference to data signals. Kavehrad believes that these engineering issues can be resolved, but that interference issues must also be addressed. A copy of the study is available on the UPLC website. |
