I really don't get how you forward something to an Access Point, isn't |

this device like a "dumb hub" on your wireless network? Mine doesn't |

Filosofia de TI: Programadores de verdade consideram o conceito "o que |
32 |
você vê é o que você tem" tão ruim em editores de texto quanto em |
33 |
mulheres. Não, o programador de verdade quer um editor de texto do |
34 |
estilo "você pediu, você levou" - complicado, indecifrável, poderoso, |
35 |
impiedoso, perigoso. |
