Xbox 360 network Adapter

Advantages: Cute,Compact,Attachable
Disadvantages: Weak signal,Very expensive

...Microsoft and their proprietary products are poor performance,and too expensive.This adapter detects the same network my pc adapter detects but only 1 bar of signal.My pc adapter has 5 bars on the network.The xbox adapter must not have an omni antenna and the gain is probably 1dbi.I tried to opened this crap and put a higher gain antenna but the connector is a sub micro connector specially made for microsoft to screw us.I still could have rigged a better antenna,but i accidentally lost an ic chip trying to pry this thing apart,now there goes 70 bucks,never again. Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times...

Xbox 360 network adapter, to buy or not?

Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless
Disadvantages: very high price

...i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had a 30m ethernet cable running down my stairs which is not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the network adapter. THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360 theres a light which is green if its working and red if its...

Gateway - the Final Frontier?

Advantages: Great characters and cleverly structured
Disadvantages: The domestic violence bit sticks out like a sore thumb

...Gateway, by Frederik Pohl, is very much in the grand tradition of 'hard SF'. Whereas much of what gets put in the science-fiction section of bookshops is actually little more than fantasy with lasers instead of swords, Gateway is part of the Arthur C Clarke, Bradbury and Asimov school that seeks to extrapolate fantastic worlds from real current science, and examines how science and technology could affect the peoples of those worlds. In the future, Earth is massively over-populated - and starving. Food is synthesised from hydrocarbons, and there's not enough to go around. Life is brutal and grinding poverty is everywhere. For the bravest, however, there's an incredible opportunity - Gateway. A relic of a vanished super-race, Gateway is a huge space station filled with alien ships. Huge amounts of money are promised to brave...

Review of Gateway - Frederik Pohl

A Good Choice for a Home Network Gateway

Advantages: easy setup, good range, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: none so far

...The BT USB modem which came with our broadband package worked fine, but needed changing when we wanted to network the family's computers together. After much reading of reviews and visiting many forums on the subject we chose the Linksys WAG354G ADSL Home Gateway and, at £49.95 from Amazon, it looked very good value, especially as P&P was included. Linksys is part of Cisco Systems, a recognised expert in the field of computer networking. The Linksys Home Gateway combines 4 functions in one small box: an ADSL2+ modem, a hardware firewall and a 4 port switch and wireless access point. Not only can all the family's computers be on line at the same time anywhere in the house, but everyone can access both the printer and scanner attached to our main computer. You can connect up to 4 computers through its 10/100 ethernet switch and up...

Gateway to trouble

Advantages: Tech support
Disadvantages: Poor customer support and delivery

...SEE END FOR UPDATED SECTION I got this new computer a couple of months ago; I decided to go with Gateway because they have a better reputation than most. I also looked at Novatech, but as I didn’t know much about them chose Gateway, as the prices for the spec I wanted were almost similar. When I was first looking a getting a new PC, I was looking at gateways, £999.99 deal, but was persuaded to buy the one I now have for 1180 (ish). I didn’t need much persuading as the system had nearly double the spec for only £180 pounds. For the money I got 1Ghz athlon processor, 256MB RAM, 40Gb hard drive, tnt2 32MB video card, creative labs digital sound card, 17 inch monitor, printer, scanner and all the usually e.g. free software mouse keyboard etc… OK this service was great, from the Gateway store in Crawley, but what...

Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter A must for all Gamers

Advantages: Easy to install, Works well, reliable
Disadvantages: Expensive

...you to a new page showing all wireless networks in your area. My adapter had no trouble in finding my router which is around 7 metres away and has two walls inbetween it and the adapter. The network came up instantly and clicking on it will bring you to a new screen. The new screen will ask you to enter all the necessary information for you to access your network. You can automatically search for IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway and automatically search for your DNS settings. Your Adapter should automatically find your network type and your wireless security settings, then you simply type in your network code and click confirm and your Xbox is connected Wirelessly. The wireless adapter on the back of your Xbox doesn't detract away from the style of your xbox at all. You may think it may look like a tumor growing out of the back...

Gateway - your way

Advantages: Great Ram, and resistance to damage
Disadvantages: The ordinar resolution

...The beautiful design makes it all! It has 2year warranty! It has 3 gb of Ram, 250 Gb hard drive. For almost 800$, you've made the best deal. When I saw it, i couldn't believe my eyes! The only thing that may be said of bad about this notebooks is the ordinary resolution - 1,280-by-800. And, nowadays, adding extraspace isn't so expensive. But, the 1.83-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo rises the appreciation. Also, the red color isn't painted in a great way... Performance is the value that Gateway always maintained. This time too. It has more memory than many others notebooks, and the quality of the images is outstanding.I bought it as a gift for my cousin almost a year ago. He did something to it and had to use the warranty. After they repaired it, it was like new. So, it sustains damage :D But, don't try to crack it beacuse of your nerves. If i...

Travel to the top of The Gateway Arch Mork-style - in an egg.

Advantages: Elegant architectural icon. Magnificent vies and photographic opportunity.
Disadvantages: Lenghy queues. Only partially accessible for disable visitors.

...The elegant Gateway Arch, reaching up to 630 feet dominates St Louis? skyline. Standing in the Jefferson Natural Expansion Memorial Park, the arch symbolises the role St Louis played as the gateway to the west. Shortly after the Second World War in 1947, a competition was privately financed to find a suitable architectural centrepiece for the park. The aim was to commemorate Thomas Jefferson?s vision of the spread of freedom and democracy from ?sea to shining sea? and his commissioned expedition in 1804 to the west coast headed by Lewis and Clark. Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel?s design of this graceful tapered stainless-steel catenary arch won over the 171 other entries. Construction of this remarkable structure took around three years to complete. Pictures of the construction can...

Review of The Gateway Arch, St Louis, Missouri

A dramatic concrete gateway

Advantages: Wide ranging styles of Theatrical productions.
Disadvantages: Concrete 60's Architecture

...Chester is famous for its architecture boasting the remains of a walled Roman city, a Gothic Town Hall, a Norman Cathedral and the Rows - Tudor shops. It is a picturesque and interesting mélange of architectural styles. Yet tucked away behind the Town Hall is the Gateway theatre, a product of the 1960s concrete architectural movement. The Theatre isn?t very pretty to look at nor is it grand or luxurious inside but it is friendly, welcoming and stages a wide range of theatrical performances. The Theatre can be accessed by walking through the Forum shopping centre or via a set of stairs situated at the corner of Trinity Street and Hamilton Place. The theatre is easily accessed by disabled patrons with a lift available from the street and parking area to the Theatre and ramps to areas inside the theatre itself. A paved area...

Belkin wireless G USB Network Adaptor

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not enough information on software or packaging.

...I recently bought a Belkin wireless adaptor when I went into a house share and needed to have the internet. I use the internet but I know little about the technical side of things. I paid £19.99 for the adaptor in PC world who only had Belkin at the time which I thought was not expensive. However installing it was a nightmare. The 3 easy steps on the box seemed so easy; Install the software, plug the adaptor into a USB PORT - start networking! If only it was that simple. Every time my computer searched for a network it crashed. I phoned the Belkin company who took me step by step through the technical part and still we could not get internet. Eventually the Belkin assistant told my for some reason my computer was not recognising the new network. Being increasingly frustrated I considered taking the adaptor back for a refund...
