Rolling Your Own Wireless Communications System?
nuggetman asks: "My high school, like most others, has a theater program. One critical element of the show is the tech crew - the group of people behind the scenes who keep it all running. Communication between the stage manager (myself) and crew members (as well as between crew members) is critical. For this job right now, we're using standard hand-held walkie-talkies. They get the job done, but they're susceptible to dead batteries, incompatibility between VOX headsets, and interference from janitors, the office, hall monitors, and even the local McDonald's. We've been wanting to invest in a theater-communication system, but they can run extremely expensive. Is there any hardware out there that could use a standard PC (Linux or Windows) and some wireless headsets to roll your own communication system that could cover a long enough range (say the theater which is the size of a gym plus a decent range outside it) at a low enough cost? Our school just installed 802.11b/g throughout the hallways, so we could tap into that if necessary and add our own router near the stage if we had to."
"Shouting."
Hey dumbass...instead of suggesting that I read your post again, perhaps you could just focus on the part of my post that says "your parent there clearly has no "experiance" in spelling."
Perhaps in addition you might take some time to ask around and find out what a "parent" is with regard to slashdot.
Oh, yeah...and it's interesting that you claim to have no experience with theater yet clearly know that a)all the performers are gay, and b)all the women are overweight. Of course I'm guessing you haven't yet mobilized your neuron to figure out that some hot chick is almost always playing the lead, no matter where you go to see a play.
Yep, plays are full of good looking women, surprise surprise. Don't forget, people do cast these things (that means someone chooses the actor/actress for the role, you ignorant fuck), and it's not like all the plays around are about overweight gothic-looking people. Typically you'll find that the folks in high school or college plays are much better looking than a cross section of the school.
Man, you really are fucking stupid.
But then, you can't even put a decent flame together (wtf? i mean, not catching the reference to the parent post? and these insults..."fucking moron"? "rape your mother"? you gotta be kidding me! my granny can flame better than that, boy!) so I guess we really can't expect you to notice the obvious truth when it interferes with whatever mindless, unfounded, and inaccurate stereotype you are pushing.
For the record, I've been to untold numbers of both high school and college productions, but never been involved myself. I have seen some _really_ good looking women there, including some I knew well at my own hs that were into theater...even dated a couple...and somehow my heterosexuality never seemed hampered by the situation at all. I'm interested in what insecurities you might have, perhaps sexual, perhaps otherwise, which might cause you to be such a fuckhead...
Of course, not sure what i'm wasting keystrokes on here...just some provincial uncultured dumbshit fuck who would have been left as a cumstain on the backseat of his mom's nova, if only his dad hadn't gone off so quick he was surprised by it, and didn't pull out in time.

Wait. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.
No, I meant "who should have been left..."
