Internet Access via Cell Phone HOWTO

Posted by michael on from the hints-from-heloise dept.

Nate Carlson writes "I've been searching for a decently fast, inexpensive wireless 'net access solution. It's finally here! Sprint recently cut their PCS Vision pricing so that US$40/mo gets you unlimited data and 300 voice minutes to boot. I've written up a document on how to get this working with Linux - it works great, and averages 7-12kbytes/sec download speed. All I can say is, wow!"

    Everything should be really good, and people should be nice to each other.

      Unfortunately, the hippie stench has permeated all that is around us. Even a huge helping of Republican Febreeze isn't going to get rid of that smell. The best we can hope for is to relegate the infection to the broders of California.

    that Cmdr Tuna Taco can't take a dick out of his mouth long enough to use a cell phone, let alone browse the web. This is a serious issue! Lo! I pine for the fields of ages past, where man could wallow in the digital text of his equals, not the corporations! Spring can kiss my ass, as soon as Taco is done sucking on it.

    Oh yeah, grits or some shit too.

    So? Has slashdot EVER been anything but a big fucking commercial? Or are you so stupid that you actually believe that the "submitted" news stories aren't carefully crafted fluff created by some marketing department, roughed up enough so that they look "natural." Nate Carlson works for Sprint, pure and simple, either officially or off the books. There hasn't been news on slashdot since the time I put my newspaper on top of my monitor.

    It's a joke.

    And here I thought all American Slashdot readers were loyal fans of Conan O'brien and Triumph. Woe is me.

    Looks like a frat boy to me, right up to the dildo that appears to be crammed up his ass.
