Re: [brlug-general] wiring / camera installers
I thought eSentia (eSentia.com) did a pretty good job on the stores that we contracted them out to do. Custom Security wasn't bad either.

Re: [brlug-general] Internet Firewall
If heat is a concern, I would go buy a newer router. My router is about 6 years old, runs considerably cooler and I have the signal strength boosted through Tomato. It works well enough.

The router is an old device, 10+ yo, and it generates heat. !20 + degrees for the power brick and over 100 degrees for the box. Its just something else that consumes energy directly and indirectly with cooling costs. I have failed to find a new cable modem with a built-in firewall. My cable modem is a comparatively new device with newer power efficient technology and runs considerably cooler. Essentially I'm trying to find the most energy efficient configuration for my system.

Re: [brlug-general] Nexus S ... Catch-22
Are you trying to buy the phone through bestbuy.com or tmobile.com or are you trying to get it through google.com/nexus/ ? I am only curious because there might be a difference through how they are processing your credit. On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 6:50 PM, Edmund Cramp e...@motion-labs.com wrote: Has anyone managed by buy a Nexus S phone yet? Best Buy are advertising the Nexus S at $529.99 or $199.99 with a new 2 year contract. I've been with Nextel/Sprint for about 12 years and it's time for a change - and I really like the new version of Android so I figured I'd buy a couple of new Nexus S phones... The Nexus S is ONLY available through Best Buy and you can only buy it at the $199.99 price on the Internet. I've been trying to order through Best Buy for the last few days (signing up as a new T-Mobile customer) and they keep saying that there is a problem with the order - talking to Best Buy it is seems that T-Mobile will only approve me for a pre-paid plan (flexpay). Oddly enough, Verizon approved me for a $80 phone plan last week for my daughter and didn't even blink using the same information. But you only get the $199.99 price on the Nexus S phone if you sign up for a two year contract ... but T-Mobile say that my credit is not approved for a contract phone. They'll only offer me a pre-paid plan if I want a Nexus S. They say that they have lots of phones that are better than the Nexus S and they're happy to sell me one of those with a plan, but not a Nexus S. I pointed out that all of the phones they offer have appear to have old versions of Android and T-Mobile appear to have no plans to update their phones to the current version of Android. So basically they refuse to sell me a Nexus S (at 199.99) with a 2 year contract but they are happy to give me a G2 phone for free with a 2 year contract - so my credit problems seem to be specific to an attempt to purchase a Nexus S phone. I've been on hold a lot the last few days. It looks like I have to buy the Nexus S at full price and then use the pay-as-you-go plans - which seem to cost more than a plan where they give me a free phone. [RANT]I can see why the iPhone is selling so well - Steve Jobs understands that people buy phones, not cell phone plans ... and the cell phone companies are all about selling plans and see a phone only as bait to lure the customer.[/RANT] Even the sigmonster is pissed. -- It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take.

Acpi has a lot to do with power management. It can also be used to actually power on/off certain things on the motherboard through software keys.
