The Internet Is Broken, Now Buy My Magic Solution - Arpanet designer Larry Roberts still pushing new router technology...

Larry Roberts, Adsl Speed Test team member Free Internet Speed Check the original Arpanet, has been complaining that the Internet has been "broken," for a sms any He's been doing this because, Speedometer Test we've noted for several years now, he's been trying to sell new flow routing technology for his company, Anagran. Techdirt notes that Roberts is back again in an article for PC Authority, still insisting several years later that the Internet will break any day now, and still pushing flow control technology streamyx 1m claims will keep the 'Net from imploding:

"Directing traffic in terms of flows rather than individual packets improves the utilization of networks. By eliminating the excessive delays and random packet losses typical of traditional routers, flow management fills communication links with more data and protects voice and video streams. And it does all that without requiring changes to the time-tested TCP/IP protocol."

As Techdirt laments, nobody at PC Authority bothers to get a second opinion on the state of the Internet's health, and the bit reads more like a press release than a news report. Roberts' Arpanet credibility apparently has very long legs, as every time he pulls the "Internet is broken" sales pitch out of his bag, numerous news outlets treat his pronouncements as revolutionary and new, whether it's true or not.

Lately I've seen a number of people asking whether or not internet toolbar can Adsl Cable their laptop to play the Nintendo Wii on and then I've seen others answering that they can, whilst others answer celcom broadband and streamyx they can't. Hmm, which answer is right? I think clarification is needed here.

You know what it's like, you get some technological equipment and later you want to use some other technology with it only to find you need yet another piece of technological equipment! It can be such a pain can't it.

Well, I hate to say it, but in this case, that is, the Nintendo Wii being used on laptops, it is precisely that same situation we have.

In a nutshell it could be said that bottom line, if you haven't got a TV Tuner with the necessary input cables and devices you cannot hook up your Wii to your laptop.

Now, there are a few buts and if's to this which is where the confusion comes into play. Let me try and explain it plainly, though if you're new to this it may not seem plain at all.

Firstly, your bog standard VGA cable will not work here, a USB TV Tuner will work. ATI TV Wonder is excellent though fairly expensive and you may find cheaper versions on online auctions maybe.

One thing to remember, make sure that whichever you buy, it has component video hookups OR that it has Coaxial. If it only has Coaxial and not the hookups you will need an RFU Adaptor which connects your Wii directly into a coax plug.

I believe you can get RFU adaptors which actually state that they are for use with the Nintendo Wii.

Folks that really is it. I hope that clears up whether or not you can use the Nintendo Wii on your laptop.

As you can see, you can.
