There are literally millions of older Wi-Fi equipment installations that cannot benefit from the newer WPA wireless protection encryption algorithms. Primarily because the equipment manufacturers have abandoned the equipment and no longer provide updated drivers / firmware upgrades. Some manufacturers build what are known as 'passphrase generators' into their equipment. This basically allows the user to enter an easily remembered phrase and the equipment generates the WEP key based upon an algorithm built into the equipment... and there lies the rub. Every manufacturer seems to do it a bit differently, if they do it at all. There doesn't seem to be any kind of standard toward implementing WEP. This creates lots of problems when you are trying to connect devices from various manufacturers because the results from their built in passphrase generators are different across devices. With the WEP Key Generator Utility, you can generate keys based on a passphrase that is compatible with all wireless systems because all wireless network systems must support hexadecimal based keys. Instead of using the passphrase generator that is built into the router, or your wireless card on your laptop or PDA, you use the WEP Key Generator utility to generate the WEP keys and manually enter them into your wireless router settings and wireless network adapters. As you can imagine, this greatly simplifies the implementation of equipment from different manufacturers. Now you can easily use Orinoco, Netgear, and D-Link wireless cards with a Linksys, SMC or Belkin router / switch and not have to worry that one manufacturer uses ASCII based WEP keys and the other doesn't support it. You are not limited in your choice of equipment by brand. Not only do we support creating a key with a passphrase, we also have created a way to generate WEP keys based upon any particular file on your computer.

These are just some of the manufacturing links between Taiwan and China, which some observers have taken to calling "Chaiwan". Also rolling out of Taiwanese plants on the mainland are the Apple iPhones and iPads, Amazon Kindles and Sony PlayStations that consumers around the world are rushing to buy. "Taiwan is becoming more and more an integrated part of the Chinese economy, especially in IT," notes Dieter Ernst, a senior fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu. "The speed of change is incredibly fast in both countries."

This has led to the partial economic unification of the two sides, while leaving the military and diplomatic situations unresolved. Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province that it plans to annex, and vows to attack if Taipei claims independence. In Taiwan, President Ma Ying-jeou must walk a fine line between strengthening economic ties with the mainland and appearing to kowtow to Chinese demands -- a charge leveled against his Kuomintang Party by the opposition Democratic Progressive Party. Ma thus hews to a policy of "no unification, no independence and no use of force."

Yet the economic links are joining the two sides closer together. "The reality on the ground is that economic integration is going on, and more and more Taiwanese companies will have to depend on the mainland market," says Wharton marketing professor Z. John Zhang. As this blending of economies proceeds, "political integration will be a whole lot easier," although whether that will ultimately take place "is anyone's guess."

Zhang sees further signs of a thaw in cross-Strait relations. The two sides now permit direct flights from China to Taiwan, he notes, and Beijing encourages Taiwanese tourists to visit the mainland. At the same time, Chinese universities now accept Taiwanese applicants, and Chinese employers recognize degrees from Taiwan.

A 'Silicon Shield'

Economic integration may move faster following the landmark Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement that Taiwan and China signed in June. The deal is designed to slash tariffs and boost trade between the two sides. "Cross-strait cooperation is bound to receive a significant boost," from the agreement, Ernst maintains, since Taiwanese IT companies will face fewer barriers to engaging in joint engineering and research and development projects in China.

Taiwanese firms have accelerated their mainland investments since the election of Ma two years ago. Taipei-approved investments in China nearly tripled to $5.7 billion in the first half of 2010, according to Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, with the bulk of the projects going to IT and related industries. Taiwanese companies employ an estimated 14.4 million workers on the Chinese mainland -- a figure that equals some 60% of Taiwan's population of 23 million.

This hefty employment alarms Taiwanese critics of mainland investment, who charge that it is "hollowing out" Taiwan's industrial sector by exporting jobs to China. In a July editorial, the daily Liberty Times criticized what it called the "unbalanced investment strategy" of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industries, whose Foxconn Technology Group is the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronic products from smartphones to computer hardware. Foxconn employs an estimated 800,000 workers in China, the newspaper noted, compared with just 20,000 in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, both countries are struggling to break out of the "commodity trap," a term for producing low-margin manufacturing for Western companies. "We are trying to find out what the keys are to transforming this culture from a purely manufacturing industry to something more creative and innovative," says Wen-Jean Hsueh, cofounder and general director of the Creativity Laboratory at Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a state-backed incubator of high-tech companies.

Taiwan's IT sector owes its existence to ITRI, which was founded in 1973 to strengthen the country's competitiveness. The institute launched the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) a decade later as the personal computer industry was taking off. Today, TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker with a 45% share of the market, according to the Gartner Group. Taiwan's share jumps to 58% when the country's United Microelectronics Corp. is included. Some pundits call Taiwan's semiconductors its "silicon shield" against an attack from China, arguing that the United States would move to prevent any such strike to safeguard U.S. access to the precious chips.

Taiwanese industry entered China in the 1980s to take advantage of the inexpensive labor, land and construction costs there. Investment soared in the 1990s as the demand for IT products boomed around the world.

The very size of Taiwan's mainland investments creates challenges for Taiwanese companies. A string of nearly a dozen suicides earlier this year focused worldwide attention on conditions at Foxconn's huge complex in Shenzhen on the coast of southern China. Some 400,000 workers produce Apple iPhones and iPads and numerous other goods at the site. Foxconn subsequently raised wages at the complex and said it would shift some jobs to two new plants that will employ 100,000 workers in Zhengzhou in central China, where labor costs are lower.

The suicides sparked a backlash against Foxconn at home, where critics labeled the deaths "the shame of Taiwan." That brought Taiwan's Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce to the defense of Foxconn's parent company. "Globalization is the only way out for Taiwan," the trade group stated, "given the limited size of its economy. It's not easy for Taiwanese businesses to go global, and too much criticism instead of encouragement would only serve to discourage them."

A Matter of Inches

Taipei itself has limited some cross-Strait investment for fear of handing China technology that it could use to catch up with Taiwanese manufacturers and perhaps put to military use. This has created a two-steps-forward, one-step-backward approach to transferring technology. To meet the surging Chinese demand for televisions, for example, Taiwan began allowing its companies to make flat-panel, liquid crystal TV screens on the mainland for the first time this year. But Taipei restricts such facilities to technology that is at least one generation behind the flat-panel factories in Taiwan, and thereby limits the efficiency and output of the mainland plants.

The Taiwanese government has kept a similar lid on mainland production of the semiconductor wafers that are used to make computer chips. The wafers come from giant plants called foundries, or "fabs," that produce micrometer-thin disks of up to 12 inches in diameter -- about the size of a medium pizza. The larger the disks the more chips can be created from them, making 12-inch wafers the most cost-effective to produce with current technology.

However, Taiwan bars its companies from building 12-inch fabs in China that could compete with semiconductor plants at home. So Taiwan's TSMC can only add capacity to its 8-inch fab in Shanghai, instead of building a more efficient Chinese foundry. "Our priority for expansion in China is indeed increasing capacity at our facility in Shanghai," notes J. H. Tzeng, a spokesman for TSMC.

Such restrictions draw fire from the US-Taiwan Business Council, an Arlington, Va.-based trade group that says Taipei's foot-dragging hobbles the ability of Taiwanese companies to compete with rivals in other countries. Council members include major U.S. firms that do business with Taiwan. The nonprofit group notes that Intel is opening a 12-inch wafer fab in Dalien in northern China, while South Korea's Samsung Electronics and LG Display announced plans to build flat-panel TV screen plants on the mainland before Taiwan would permit its own companies do so.

The council, chaired by former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, now wants Taiwan to draft comprehensive guidelines to encourage technology investment in China. "Since the expiration of the previous guidelines in 2005," according to a council report, "Taiwan has squandered several years in which its technology companies might have gained critical advantages over their Chinese and South Korean competitors."

Past incidents have fed Taiwanese concerns about transferring technology to the mainland. TSMC sued China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) in U.S. courts in 2005 and 2006 for patent infringement and stealing trade secrets after Taiwanese engineers helped launch the Chinese chipmaker. SMIC granted TSMC an 8% equity stake plus $200 million in cash last year in an out-of-court settlement. SMIC has long struggled to turn a profit and last year lost more than $960 million, while TSMC posted $2.7 billion of net income.

Taiwanese companies have been stronger than their Chinese counterparts in hardware though less successful in software. Lenovo, China's largest computer maker, acquired IBM's personal computer division in 2005 to gain an advantage over Taiwan's Acer. But Acer struck back by acquiring Gateway, a U.S. rival of IBM, in 2007. Acer was the world's No. 2 PC maker (after Hewlett-Packard) in the first half of 2010, according to Gartner, while Lenovo ranked No. 4. "The thing to notice here is that China's largest and most high-profile computer company is still losing ground to Taiwan," suggests Terry Cooke a senior scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia.

Taiwan dominates the worldwide market for portable computers through contract manufacturers whose names are little known to the general public. Quanta Computer makes more laptops and laptop hardware than any other company for a client list that includes Hewlett-Packard, Sony, Dell and Apple. Asustek Computer broke out of the contract-manufacturing niche and became a global brand by pioneering netbooks, small and inexpensive laptops.

China has been winning business against Taiwan in the field of software services, an area in which Taiwan continues to lag. "Taiwan has never had anywhere near the strength in software development that it has in hardware," Cooke notes. "It's not a real player in that industry."

397 Patents

Both countries must now upgrade their ability to design and develop trend-setting IT products. "Both in China and Taiwan, investment in research that goes beyond incremental innovation is still insufficient," the East-West Center's Ernst states. "And most important, both Taiwanese and Chinese firms have limited portfolios of patents for critical standards" that other companies must follow.

Taiwan's ITRI is redoubling its efforts to create such intellectual property. ITRI received 397 patents from the United States last year, the most for any research institute. Under ITRI's leadership, Taiwanese flat-panel makers are developing flexible screens that can roll up or down like window shades and deliver color graphics to the next generation of e-readers.

To help spur innovation, engineers at ITRI's Creativity Laboratory have joined forces with artists, writers and other professionals to brainstorm new ideas. The laboratory's mission "is to lead the transformation from 'Made in Taiwan' to 'Created in Taiwan,'" according to a brochure for the facility. "Basically, we started out to encourage everyone to explore the dreams that they want to fulfill," says lab cofounder Wen-Jean, who holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. "What we're doing now is a lonely effort," she adds. "There isn't a commercialized product yet."

Such a product could boost Taiwan's competitiveness and add to ties with China. "Taiwan has helped to create a very large IT ecosystem on the mainland that is a win-win for both countries," Cooke points out. However, he notes, the diplomatic tension between the two countries creates "a kind of static that obscures the economic signal." Will this static subside? Cooke suspects that it will. "It could be that there just hasn't been enough time for things to play out" diplomatically, he says. "My personal belief is that one should expect to see some further relaxation."

Hello friends, I wish you all had a nice weekend. This week two new programs, BlueStocksInvestment and PawnShop-Fund stopped paying and ran away with investors money. That's very sad indeed because BSI seems to be a good program to me, however, HYIP is like gambling where sometime you wins and sometime you loose. This week I started selling "diamond Listing" and my first client of this segment is GlobalForexIncome.net (GFI) which I am going to introduce today. In a single sentence, it is a very professional looking, long term and daily paying program with a standard level of security system installed in it. At the first look, GFI seems original with the classic story of forex trading an as operation backend. However, lets see what they are offering to the investors.

Investment plans & Strategy :
GFI is currently offering total 3 long term and daily paying plans with the term of 180 trading days(5 days/week) which is common for all three plans. There are some more rules are present which are also common for these plans,

• Initial amount will be returned after the term expires.
• Paying 5 days/week.
• term is 180 trading days for all plans.
• Compounding available.
  

Their first plan is known as "starter" and it offers 1.30% fixed daily return for the investment size of minimum $50 to maximum $5,000. As per their ROI, your profit from this plan will be 234% just by summing up the daily return. And after getting back your initial investment, your total return from this plan will be 334% including your initial amount.

The next and second plan is known as "Enterprise" plan and it offers a bit more return than previous one but obviously with a greater amount of deposit range of minimum $5,001 and maximum $15,000. The daily return is 1.40% from this plan which will give you total profit of 252% just by summing up the daily interest. The principle amount will be returned after the 180 days term expires which will give you total return of 352% from this plan.

GFI also offers one more investment plan which is known as "Premium". This plan is meant for the big money investors and general investors like me will not be able to join here since the minimum is $15,001 and maximum allowed upto $200,000. It offers 1.60% daily return for 180 trading days. Take a look at the chart below to get a clear understanding on the plans,







Now when the time comes for the strategy, I must admit sadly, that there is no such strategy of playing these kind of plans since they have made the difference based on the deposit range. But compounding can give you a better earning if you are ready to to take a calculated risk with your money. However, I will suggest not to use compounding, because this feature will only benefit you largely after you get back the principle amount after 180 trading days. So choose wisely if you think of using the compounding feature. The returns are are low but reasonable, so I really think GFI is going to pay us for a long time and will not prove themselves as another HYIP game.

Security, Scripts & support :
GFI website is being hosted on a DDos protected dedicated server provided by one of the industry leader Dragonaranet. However, no SSL certificate has been found in the system. Their domain name is registered for four years and will expire on 27th December, 2014. Click here to view the complete whois record. The script of GFI is a very well known GoldCoder's script and is licensed. Check the script license HERE. The website is designed very professionally which will make you feel interested to take a closer look at it for sure. GFI also endorses the classic story of forex trading as the place of getting returns on behalf of the investors. They are claiming to be a registered company with a physical existence and also a fax and a phone number is present in the website. Apart from that, they are having common types of support systems like mail support and live chat. However, the live chat is not available 24 hours a day at this moment. But since their approach is extremely professional, I expect to see 24x7 live chat support very soon.

E Currency & affiliate program :
GFI accepts only two E currency right at the moment which is Liberty Reserve and PerfectMoney only. In this point I got a little disappointment because many big money investors like E currencies like AlertPay because of it's chargeback facility. I really wish to see AP as an payment processor of GFI in the near future, but still that's not a big deal because Liberty Reserve and PerfectMoney is the time-proven and stable payment processor of the online money market. GFI also offers an affiliate commission of 3% for every deposit made by the person your referred. Joining their affiliate program is absolutely free, so you don't need to have any active deposit with GFI to earn from their affiliate program.

Conclusion :
Overall GFI seems like a good program with professional approach. The website is well thought out and very well executed and the design is well enough to fall in love with. GFI is having so many good qualities to become an industry leader especially when we call this time as a post recession of HYIP industry. I really look forward to see the success of my readers and also of GFI to become of of the hotspot of serious investors.

   You could prime them in the a color close to the espresso but with a dark color like that you really do not need to. If you were going from brown to white I would say yes.
   BTW espresso is so hot these days good choice!

   If the paint is glossy or clearcoated, I doubt you’ll be able to simply paint over them. If it is a matte, you might be ok, but you’d still probably be better off throwing a coat of primer on, just to be safe.

   if you want the cabinets to look professional you need to do a light sanding of them first. They will look smoother that way and the paint will stick better.

6. jen Says:
   September 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 pm

   Use a 120 grade sandpaper and sand the surface first before painting. . .it will allow the paint to "stick" better.

7. GirlNextDoor Says:
   September 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 pm

   Yes you can just be safe, b/c you didnt say what kind of paint is already on them, sand them down then do your primer and then your espresso color (which is very pretty by the way!!) and you should be fine, since it is hot out side thats thats the best place to paint them b/c of the fumes and it drys faster!!!

8. Bobs MonOncle Says:
   September 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 pm

   yes, you can, with care. Realize that if the paint chips or wears, you are going to have a patch of white there, though.

   I suggest applying two coats of paint — a dark red base coat over a dark red tinted primer. Then a thinned down dark coat on top (black-brown). Espresso is not a specific color that is the same for every manufacturer and color mixer, so make sure it’s going to look like what you think you want by doing a small test panel before committing to your cabinets). I find most commercial espressos finishes have very subtle red undertone which is why I recommend two different colors.

Question : How long will it take to complete a small, bathroom remodel?
Hi all,

I must preface this question with “we only have one bathroom”, so time is of the essense.

Here’s what we want done:
– New shower/tub insert
- New tile on floor and half way up walls (sorry – not sure what that’s called)
- Repair water damage (there’s a leak in tub area – it’s been going on for about 6 months)
- New cabinet (will order)
- Paint as needed (will keep current color)
- Replace fixtures
- Update plumbing (I think this will be limited)

Other than the water damage, I don’t think we’ll have to replace/remove any sheetrock. Also, we’re keeping the toilet (just replaced).

So, how long do you think this will take and is there any wisdom that you’d like to pass along. We’re open to all suggestions. We’ll be using a friend’s bathroom until all is done, but we want it done fast!

Thanks!
