I do not wish to repost but I'm really hoping that anyone that loves classical music can help out and do good at the same time and for those that do not enjoy classical music, you can look at this as a charity point of view.

Please do refer to this above post.

Product Description:
The DSL-2640T wireless ADSL router is a versatile, high-speed remote router for home and the small office. With integrated ADSL2/2+ supporting up to 24Mbps download speed, firewall protection, Quality of Service (QoS), 802.11g wireless LAN and 4 Ethernet switch ports, this router provides all the functions that a home or small office needs to establish a secure and high-speed remote link to the outside world.

High-Speed ADSL Connection.
The DSL-2640T features the latest ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards, providing speeds of up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream (ADSL2+), or 12Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream (ADSL2). This router auto-senses the connection type and auto-negotiates the best modulation scheme, using the G.hs (handshake) protocol.

Ready Wireless LAN & Ethernet Connection for Workgroup.
The DSL-2640T provides an integrated 802.11g WLAN interface supporting wireless speeds of up to 54Mbps and interoperability with 802.11b wireless devices on the 2.4GHz frequency band.

These built-in functions save you the cost and trouble of installing a separate wireless access point and an Ethernet switch.

Firewall Protection.
The router provides firewall security using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and hacker attack logging for Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection. SPI inspects the contents of all incoming packet headers before deciding what packets are allowed to pass through. Access control is provided with packet filtering based on port and source/destination MAC/IP addresses. With Virtual Server Mapping, the router can be set to allow separate FTP, Web, and multiple games to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting your servers and workstations from hackers. You can configure any of the built-in LAN ports of the router to function as a DMZ port. VPN pass-through is provided to let mobile users access files and mail from offices to work at home without having to use complex VPN client software.

Quality of Service Features.
The DSL-2640T supports 4 priority queues to enable a group of home or office users to experience the benefit of smooth network connection of inbound and outbound data without concern of traffic congestion. This QoS support allows you to enjoy high ADSL transmission for applications such as VoIP, multimedia and on-line games over the Internet.

Best or so called healthiest breakfast

Vincentmomo — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:48:18 +0800

I've read somewhere in the mag that they claim its better to take a heavy breakfast and then leading to lighter lunch and then moving on to the lightest dinner is the healthiest eating practice. Is this true?

And how important is this breakfast? How important is it to you? My friends reckon oats with milk. Healthy but cannot get it down the throat. Nowadays i just take a bread or 2 and grab a can of Milo, or Nescafe from the fridge(buy this before stepping in the office). Is this healthy enough?

Any reccomendations and what are your practices?

Alot of people tend to go for jog, including me but i don't know what help does it brings besides cardio exercise. Is there any right way or duration or distance that you need to cover everyday to enhance your exercise program? Please help.

[WTA] Accounting Line. Audit, Tax, Consultaion

Vincentmomo — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 13:43:44 +0800

Hi peeps, I've just graduated with a degree in accounting from RMIT. However, I'm pretty much stuck here as I don't know where to go on from here. Of course most of the people's reccomendation is to get into Big 4 firms. I've applied to all of them and awaiting reply.

Lets say IF I do not get through the screening or do not get the job. Would working at smaller firms and then applying back in Big 4 a good idea? Or just totally forget about Big 4 forever.

Anyway, is there any people there who are in these field who can give me pros and cons and advise as where to go on from here. My friends told me that if I take taxation, it would be very limited to Malaysian taxation and I would have no value if I move or work at overseas. Whats better? Which is its pros and cons. What should I do. I really do not know? Is there anyone who can help me out there.

Thanks in advance. Your replies are very much appreciated. Good day.
