Another boring day in the newbie forums? Nice essay, I suppose, although it doesn't take into account all the problems that could arise still. Hell, the router that I have is running hardware 1.0c, which means that there this is the third version of this, and there were problems with the previous ones. And this is Netgear, which has been making this shit for years. Now we're expected to believe that some guys will get something that doesn't blow up on their first go? Perhaps, it's possible, with time and care and simulation you can be relatively certain...

But until I see a working ASIC hashing out at the promised speeds, I'm not convinced. It'll happen eventually, but will it happen soon?
