Worldwide population is also up in 2003 and we don't want to know who the most prolific producer is either.
I wonder if the IP over avian carrier rfc would be included as a wireless protocol.

Cisco announced an agreement to buy Linksys a cheap whore
Why can't my company make agreements like that! We just get boring ol' stock and cash deals.
"Worldwide shipments of wireless local-area network equipment increased by 120 percent in 2002 from a year ago."
RIAA has attributed this increase to an increasing sharing of music by *thieves* on the internet. SCO is claiming that the increase in the sale of wireless LAN equipment is primarily due to linux. Ans since linux has SCO's IP, SCO is planning to sue all the manufactures of wireless LAN.
In related news, Pringles shipments were up by %110.

I just finished placing my online order for various Linksys Wireless equipment, then surf over to /. and the top story is "Wireless LAN Equipment Shipments Up...top vendor is Linksys".
Man, those internet tracking and market analysis systems are getting too advanced now... :-)
Would you really want a cheap whore? It's kinda like buying a high milage cheap car... there's no telling what you'll find under the seat... nevermind the gas tank or the tailpipe!
Yes Francis, the world has gone crazy.
It is technology. It moves *forward*.
The hell it does - just look at Windows ME.
Beep beep.
SLASHDOT CITY--Slashdot.org has been brought up on animal cruelty charges because of an experiment involving the deaths of over 20,000 carrier pigeons.
"We were just starting to test a new slashdot webserver using carrier pigeons. All of a sudden tens of thousands of anonymous cowards started posting, overwhelming the pigeons' bandwidth," said the Slashdot.org official on the condition of anonymity.
The official said later that the pigeons somehow got malformed information (packets) and started crashing into each other, eventually resulting in their deaths.
There were reports of a large, troll-like creature in the area as well, but so far those claims are unsubstantiated.
My geek-wannabie of a neighbour just got WLAN installed. Time to cancel that xDSL subscription.
