FCC on Ultra-Wideband, DSL Services
ibirman writes: "According to Yahoo, the FCC has approved limited use of Ultrawideband (UWB) technology above 3.1 gigahertz. The article states that Sprint PCS among others has been campaigning to keep the minimum above 6 gigahertz claiming "interference". From what I have read, interference is not an issue, so I wonder what their real agenda is? Funny that the article does not mention that UWB could revolutinize high speed wireless networking." There's a Newsbytes story that decribes an upcoming ruling on DSL providers, which would exempt DSL carriers from the open-access requirements in place for most telephone services. There are a few links to statements on the front page of fcc.gov, but I don't see the actual orders for either of these yet.
Congrats to Rob and Kathleen!
oo0o00o0o00o00ooooo00Ooooo
Since when did SCSI terms because the naming noveau trend? UltraWide. I'm still waiting for SuperWide!
We had to destroy the sig to save the sig.
We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
we're the undefeated warriors
we have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders
of the only thing we love
we're the saviours
and protectors from above
In your sky there is no limit
and masters we have none
heavy metal is the only one
'cause its heavy metal universe
an it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound
With a burning hot desire
like a supersonic blast
we have come to show the world
that we have come to last
There ain't no way to stop us
and you'll never kill our pride
'cause it's not only music
it's a chosen way of life
And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promissed land
'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground
It's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound
See my hands held to the sky
let me rock you 'till forever
raise your voice we're soaring high
swear allegance now or never
burning up we build a flame
as we speak the oath togheter
metal is our way forever...
... way forevermore
And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promissed land
'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground
it's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

His spokeswoman, Schatzie Hageman, says King passed peacefully at his Maine home.
King's health had been waning since the mid-'80s, when he underwent heart surgery following a near-fatal car accident. He was later diagnosed with diabetes, which drastically affected his circulation, making it difficult for him to walk in recent years. In December, his left foot was amputated after becoming infected.
"King was a dear friend, one of the very best of 35 years," writer Neil Gainman said Wednesday. "I'll miss him immensely."
Born in Littlefield, Vermont, in 1947, he formed his first band at the age of 12. By the time he was 17, he was deejaying a few towns away in Lubbock, where he hooked up with local boy Buddy Holly. Holly soon took Jennings under wing, teaching the younger musician some guitar chords and producing Jennings' first single, "Jole Blon," and cowriting "You're the One."
Level On The Inside
Dovetail Joint
If you sit me down, to explain
all the trials you've endured
Around and around, the refrain
rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion, that the only thing I hear
Is the crack of a smile, in a face that ain't so sincere
When measuring out your quality
It is only as deep as your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces
Shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile till they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the
most common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation
Surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your wake
I think you can, reach a place
where the impetus is pure
You'll understand, a disgrace
is the thing that makes us feel...
"Level on the inside, level on the outside"
I'm content to know it
I don't need to show it
me me me i did it??
errr no?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hellraising country music icon Waylon Jennings, who escaped death by giving up his seat on Buddy Holly's plane and helped launch Nashville's "outlaw" movement with Willie Nelson, died on Wednesday. He was 64.
Jennings was born on September 21, 1937 in Portland Maine to Ruth and Donald Jennings. In 1939, when Jennings was 2 years old, his father left one night for cigarettes and never returned, leaving his mother to look after him and his older brother David. By the time Waylon Jennings was seven he had begun writing stories, but it was only after he discovered a box of horror and sci-fi books in his aunt's house that he discovered his forte. This was in 1959. Six years later he had his first story "I Was A Teenage Grave Robber" published in Comics Review, though his first professional sale would be in 1967, two years later. The Glass Floor was published in Startling Mystery Stories.
Jennings graduated high school in 1966 and pursued a Bachelors of Science degree in English at the University of Maine at Orono. While a student, he met his future wife, Tabitha Spruce, among the shelves of the Folger Campus Library, where both worked as students. Jennings graduated from the University in 1970, and married Tabitha one year later.
Literally living hand to mouth, Waylon Jennings began work on a novel about a girl with telekinetic abilities while trying to make ends meet by running sheets in a laundry for $1.60 an hour. When the novel - called Carrie - was competed, Jennings submitted the manuscript to Doubleday where it caused a minor sensation. When it was released in 1974, the book was an instant success and Doubleday sold the paperback rights for the then staggering sum of US$ 400,000. Carrie was bought for films and the movie was released in 1976. The movie, as much as the book, catapulted Waylon Jennings into the top ranks of horror writers.
Most of Jennings's books and several of his short stories have made the transition to the big screen, though most with little success - either critical or popular. Other than Carrie, The Dead Zone, Misery and more recently The Shawshank Redemption, the movies have been box office bombs. Their failures don't seem to bother Jennings unduly; and with the exception of Firestarter, Children of the Corn and The Shining, which he actively disliked, he claims he liked most of the others.
OK, it was in 1965, but who cares about fucking years?
