Wow! I had no idea that Microsoft was so generous as to release a specification they designed to take marketshare/mindshare away from a competitor that they would let an international standards body govern it. There certainly would be no marketing upside to that. And I can't think of any other time they've done that before. Oh wait:
OOXML vs. ODF
Sun JVM vs. MS JVM incompatibilities
Javacript vs. JScript
IE's original HTML "extensions"
They have a phrase for this over there: "Embrace and extend".
In regards to Johnny Lee being Microsoft hobag, it's more than just his use of C#. His Wii Projects are all based on DirectX and Windows Presentation Framework. Yes, there are free tools for developing in C# and DirectX/WPF. Well, OK there's only one: Visual Studio Express, which is targeted at beginners and designed to get you to "graduate" to their paid product. But there is no way to run/develop in any other OS unless you use an emulator or WINE...and even then it's a dicey prospect. I'm not saying C#

"When computer scientists dissect the massive rivers of traffic flowing through it, they cannot account
for the source of all the bits. Every now and then a bit is transmitted incorrectly, and while most
of those mutations can be attributed to identifiable causes such as hacking, machine error, or line damage,
the researchers are left with a few percent that somehow changed themselves. In other words, a small
fraction of what the technium communicates originates not from any of its known human-made nodes but from
the system at large. The technium is whispering to itself."

Getting a Motorola SBG6580 into “Bridge” mode

Getting a Motorola SBG6580 into “Bridge” mode on TimeWarner Wideband

  1. Unplug coax cable from Motorola
  2. Hold down the white reset button on the back panel with a pen for 30s.  This resets all settings to factory defaults. The modem will be auto-reconfigured once you plug in the coax cable.
  3. When modem is back on plug in a computer with an Ethernet cable into the modem.
  4. Connect to http://192.168.0.1 and login with “admin” / “motorola”
  5. Now you will make some changes:
 
  • Wireless -> Primary Network -> Disabled
