   Is the vertical banding due to the camera being unable to have a fixed exposure gain configured? Or just due to slight variances in the sampling times due to unstable oscillator frequency?

   Sure, but people still use NAT as a way to secure their internal network, so it's effectively acting as a firewall.

   People expect their router to act as a firewall too, via NAT. If you take this away and force people to buy an additional piece of hardware to restore the expected functionality, they won't switch. Simple as that.

    "passengers will no longer be able to download and print a physical paper boarding pass" Doesn't look like it will be possible. That's a deal breaker for me, I don't need another app spying on me on my phone.

    One of the reasons I stopped participating was that as the second half of december was approaching I had less and less free time for solving the puzzles. So to me it is also a welcome change, I will try to finish it again this year.

    What a stupid naming convention, I'm not surprised it's something coming from the javascript ecosystem. Nodemation would have been perfectly fine.

    Interesting, on my latest router (WRT3200ACM) I've had the opposite experience - I had to switch from OpenWRT to DD-WRT since the former was too buggy to use (couldn't get the WiFi to work reliably).
