Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-don't-forget-to-ssh dept.

An anonymous reader submitted a bit about a company called Joltage who wants to make it so that home and business users can make a few bucks by selling their excess bandwidth to people who just happen to be in the neighborhood. Besides the obvious security issues, and the serious lack of coverage once you get out of metropolitan areas, this could be seriously cool.

    The Queen Mother has died. :-(
    She apparently died peacefully, in her sleep.

    It's "whisky" if it's from Scotland, "whiskey" if it's from Ireland. The word stems from the Gaelic "uisce", which means "water". The Gaelic name for whiskey is "uisce beatha", meaning "the water of life".
