Joltage Powers Down
jbyter writes "Wi-Fi service provider Joltage sent a e-mail to subscribers that read "It is with regret that I am writing to inform you that Joltage will be discontinuing its Wi-Fi subscriber and provider services effective at the end of this month." This could have been very cool, but due to economy and lack of subscriber participation they are no longer able to finance their operations."
Too bad -- this sounded like a good idea. The Joltage homepage isn't much help -- it's in place, but content-free. Any other Joltage customers who can comment on this?
What with all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.
Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in... and then the trouble started.
yessir!
Mountain Dew just can't cut it anymore, I've built up too much of a tolerance.
FIRST POST!
Who modded me down!
I said I'm number 1!
I wasn't off-topic, I was the first insightful comment! This is insightful, because you didn't know what "number 1" realy meant before I showed up

I wish I had all your real names, because I'd report you to the Dept of Homeland Security.

I love Slashdot when the titles of articles contain obvious puns. Here's an even better title for this article:
