Geez... Think of something better guys... James Bond is nothing but a scrawny english male model these days.
You'd think they'd cast someone who looks like he could at least throw a punch... What they hell, just a few more big Hollywood movies I can't stand to sit through, not like this is the first, or even in the minority these days.
Well, that's the character that's been built up over about 40 years of movies. Flemings original character from the books and the first few films was of a hard professional killer. The gadgets came with the films and the corny lines largely came with Roger Moore.
I know some people like to setup some weird things to go out wardriving, but this is overkill. I have a wardriving setup, it uses an iPAQ handheld, with a single pccard wireless(Prism based) card and GPS throu the serial adapter... The thing fits in my pocket to keep it hidden, plays a chime every time it finds a new network, logs the locations in a standard log format and plays mp3's to keep me happy while I wander around downtown(I hate government towns, too many locked down nets... but wandering my apartment is easy to find free bandwidth, heh)... Sorry, but in a government town, I would be suspicious of anyone, even a lone construction worker wandering around the whole area with a Dewalt case! Sorta beggin for a officer to ask what it is...
Anyway

If you had not already said it, I would have done so myself. Note my name.
The English subjunctive mood's ailing health is a linguistic tragedy, but it hardly compares to some of the language's other maladies. Email and chatrooms seem to have somehow brought many to the conclusion that punctuation is only needed when ending a sentence with question marks and exclamation points(and that multiples of these marks is acceptable), that the shortest, most common words are the ones that need to be abbreviated, and that emphasis is a proper use for capital letters.
Teenagers and adolescents are turning in essays in English class containing gibberish like "w/e," "alot," "b4," and "ttyl i g2g." After March of 2005, the SAT I will have an essay section. That will be quite interesting.
Mutterer, I always find it amazing(amusing?) how clueless people are about their own language. Even after pointing out their error, they fail to recognize it. Whenever I point out a sentence where the subjunctive mood should have been used, there is a high chance of getting a response along the lines of:
"But James Bond isn't plural!"
You dolts! Haven't you ever ever even seen the inside of a grammar book? I sometimes wonder.

Agreed. I fail to see what the story is here. It's slightly less funtional than my computer case that also conveniently holds my laptop, power strip, and gps unit. Granted, this is running BSD instead of XP, Netstumbler, and Delorme Street Atlas USA 2003 plus.
