*sigh* No funds in the budget to be upgrading the hardware, so it's still XBMC for me.

Anybody tried out the new XBMC Atlantis yet? The screenshots of beta 1 looked good, but I haven't gotten around to loading it yet and now that it's out in stable form, was wondering what other people were thinking...

"@stuff: Most likely people are using it under Windows and while it works, it tends to look terrible under Windows. Sure there are ways to fix it, but they're not built-in and/or extremely easy."

"@Erik: In Pidgin, use the "Join a Chat" option under the Buddies menu."

"According to WiFiPlanet, Draft-N should get better range (hadn't found that article yet when I posted my previous reply). While it sucks that you can't configure you parent's wi-fi how you'd like, at least now you can tell them to call their ISP for tech support when they have problems. :)"

"N-routers are based on a draft release of the 802.11n wireless standard. The upside to routers based on the draft of 802.11n is an increase in the maximum connection speed. The downside is they are based on a draft and not a final release of the spec, so they may not be compatible with any products based on the final release of the 802.11n spec. Additionally since there isn't a fully detailed/accepted spec, there's no guarantee that other companies draft-n products will work at draft-n speeds with a specific draft-n router."
