The Open Internet

Investing in Future of Open Internet

Google, Comcast, Intel Capital, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Trilogy Equity Partners have entered into an agreement to invest $3.2 billion in a new wireless broadband company. The new company will combine Clearwire's existing consumer WiMAX business with Sprint's broadband infrastructure and 2.5 GHz spectrum to create a new nationwide wireless broadband network.

We need more networks, more bandwidth, more coverage, more competition, so hopefully this will get us some of that.
I can remember back when WiMAX was an Intel initiative, then Sprint signed-on and now we have coalition with the desire and cash to complete the task.

Workaround: EPSON Status Monitor under Windows Vista

NenoLoje — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:42:01 GMT

Since EPSON Status Monitor does not work properly under Windows Vista I recommend extracting the installation files and simulate an old operating system (Windows XP SP2) by using the compatibility tab for all EXE files in the folder.

Then install and enjoy!

P.S. You can force a cartridge change on a EPSON Stylus Color printer even without using the EPSON Status Monitor software. Read here.

Download Source and Tests for Silverlight 2 Controls

The source for Silverlight 2 controls has been released with thousands of unit tests along with the test framework. That said, to develop Silverlight-based applications that use the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls, you do not need this source code. Instead, you must install the Silverlight 2 Software Development Kit SDK Beta 1. The source code for the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls enables you to learn the inner workings of the controls. To get the source code and tests, see Source Code and Unit Tests for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Controls on Microsoft download site.
