Wireless Growth & Wireless Interference

Posted by Hemos on from the confusing-the-waves dept.

windowpain writes "An article in Monday's Washington Post says "The explosive growth of the mobile phone industry has crowded and tangled the nation's airwaves to such an extent that wireless company signals are increasingly interfering with emergency radio frequencies used by police and firefighters, public safety agencies said." Wifi is not a problem, evidently. Understandable, given its short range."

    I stood in the wind in the raw cold
    wondering how those with power over us
    can effect such things, and by what
    cynical reasoning pardon themselves.

    Oh, I'm a Republican
    I got a small schling
    I like to bomb niggahs
    and make a lot o' bling

    I got a bunch o' friends
    in high up places
    They helps me get dem
    government graces.

    You think I'm smart
    I just know who's who
    I couldn't run a fruit stand
    without the red white & blue

    I'll drop some crap
    about Jesus the Christ
    You'll buy it all
    and vote for me twice

    'Fact, Jesus is comin'!
    Real soon, now!
    So we gotta prop up Israel
    That ol' sacred cow

    Don't need no history
    Don't need no schoolin'
    I got my ideology
    To keep me a shootin'

    Liberals! Faggots!
    Commies and queers!
    Socialist hippies
    Full o' pussy tears

    Propaganda's m'friend
    But I calls it "fact"
    Even though I don't read
    'Cept for Chick tracts

    Facts? No! Don't need em here!

    and tell ya it's good!

  4. Microwave by Ironix · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yes... Every time the microwave gets turned on I get booted off the net.

    It's really annoying with OS X Panther. I submitted a bug report stating:

    "Finder crashes when browsing network connections and using the microwave simultaneously."

    I am waiting to see the effect on Palm and Hangspring Merger on wireless...

    No joke, the new name of the Palm company that produces the hardware is called pa1mOne.

    A new website ( http://www.palmOne.com ) is live today and features product information and support services previously available at http://www.palm.com .
