2MBps Bandwidth Anywhere Via Suitcase Transmitter

upstream, anywhere in the world, and sounds easy to use.
Could be useful (someday) for lots of remote users. Of course,
it does require your ISP have a satellite NAP ... " This looks similar to (but sleeker than) another satellite video connection box we featured a little while ago, but without a built-in monitor. How small will these be in 5 years?
HEY KIDS!!
Avoid wasting time typing out "Ask Slashdot" questions. Select one of the framework questions from below and modify as necessary! Sweet!
- I'm researching a paper on fluid dynamics. I haven't done any work all semester as I have been playing Quake on my Windows ME machine and watching Cowboy Bebop on Cartoon Network. My paper is due in tomorrow. Could any Slashdot readers shed some light onto a topic which I clearly know nothing about.
- I have just installed Linux in my company. It took months of pestering and annoying senior managers for them to let me do it. Seeing as I've only ever installed Red Hat from a bootable CD and X won't start, I feel that this is the right solution for my company as they are using evil MS products now. Could anybody please come over and help me install this because now I'm in a really embarassing situation. Thank you.
- Hi! I've recently been using Linux. I've used Red Hat and Debian. Which distribution is better? In fact, I've even been considering which O/S is better out of Linux and FreeBSD. Could anybody out there in slashdot land offer some advice? Your thoughts on emacs and vi are also appreciated.
- Greetings fellow slashdotters. I'v recently just graduated from university. I reckon I know everything about computers and unix and micro$oft (tee hee funny dollar symbol!), and now I'm going to ask you a question. Not because I really want help or advice, but because I want to show off. Me and a buddy just got huge paying jobs with some pissy little startup that'll be bust in a year, and now we're in over our heads 'cos we told them we could do programming in C.
- I'm really interested in kernel hacking. I'm not going to tell you which kernel, because you will all assume I mean Linux. I've never done any programming, I'm not quite sure what a CPU is and I don't know if I'm going to have time as it's my 13th birthday next week. Can any slashdot readers advise me of the way to go?
- I've just been assigned a task to secure all communications between our fleet of oil tankers. I'm going to use Linux but I'm not sure how. Can anyone offer some thoughts or experiences of computers, RF, cryptography or being on a boat. God only knows how I got this job.
And there you have it! Please post suggestions or requests below, and moderate me down for wasting your time. Thank you. NickTheGreek, London (aka ReluctantBadger)Aaaas abaaht it then darlin'? Ahve been a cabbie fer firty yeeers nah...

I suggest this story in light of the past events that took place on Slashdot forum . There is a story on Kuro5hin about this as well. It should come to everyone's attention that there are some issues with Slashdot moderation system as well as other issues, such as story posting. I suggest we discuss these issues in this story post. As a public forum, we can at least try and be civilized and pretend that public means democratic. I believe the stories posted on Slashdot should be voted for by Slashdot users, I think that Slashdot editors should not distance themselves from this community.
You can't handle the truth.
