Comcast maybe in trouble with FCC
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast
This just in from the good people at Neowin.net:
It seems as though the head of the FCC is not taking what Comcast is doing very lightly… It may be time for the FCC to finely step in and right the wrongs Comcast has been allowed to commit. Please read the articles linked below.

Welcome to my new blog theme RC1
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Site News
Well after an uphill struggle I am proud to say “Welcome to the trm96Network Blog’s new theme RC1″ I am working on making all the markup on the site valid XHTML 1.0 transitional, the only thing as of right now that makes my blog not valid is the damn Flickr badge. If anyone knows how to make it valid please let me know.
Please let me know what you think of the new theme, you can email me or just post a comment.
The markup for the badge as it stands right now is here. (P.S. the style is in the header)

Netgear’s open source router
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Technology News
Netgear has gone open source with one of it’s new routers. The Netgear WGR614L does not come with any first-party firmware at all. It allows users to choose from a few different “distros” of open firmware, such as DD-WRT and Tomato. Who knows maybe we will see even distros of Linux for it. This is a huge steep in the right direction for Netgear. I am happy to see companies supporting open source, maybe other router manufactures can take a hint from Netgear.

Posted by trm96 | Filed under Other News
A 60 year old technology teacher is in outrage over North Carolina’s use of WTF in it’s license plates and is offering residents to replace then with a new (non-offencive) license plate free of charge. My question is WTF is this world coming to? lol

So long XP…
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Microsoft News, Windows
Microsoft has said they will not extend the cut-off deadline for it’s OEM distribution of XP, witch is set for June 30, 2008. After that date you will no longer be able to buy a new computer with XP pre-installed. They did say however they will extend support for it (updates and such) until 2014.
