FCC Plans to Allow Wireless Networking on Unused TV Channels
RKBA writes "Federal regulators have endorsed a plan to use vacant TV bandwidth for wireless Internet connections. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell says it would 'dramatically increase' the availability and quality of wireless Internet connections -- especially for people in rural areas. Powell says it would be like 'doubling the number of lanes on a congested highway.' But TV broadcasters oppose the proposal. They argue that it would interfere with over-the-air television signals for millions of people. The FCC commissioners voted unanimously to begin the lengthy rulemaking process for the plan."
The wardrivers will be having a blast.

PROJECT DAVID about to resign. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to announce the end of the Project David joke. SpecOps, a Phillipines company, decided that it wouldn't be a good thing to show what's under the hood of Project David AKA CrossOver Office. The David Technology section is temporarily disabled, as well as the David Technology Validations and the David Development Plan. The SpecOps engineers are asking for more time to find and remplace all wine occurence to david. Chief architech said by the end of the year there shoudn't be any trace of WINE or Crossover Office inside the code. Then the CD will be released as a binary app. for $39. Technical support will be done through the WINE mailing list. Please be patient. Project David is about to be a nightmare for Steve Ballmer.
Another analyst added, "they pay 5 guys to sit around and post blog entries to the internet. They don't even write their own content; they just cut and paste what other people send them. They don't even correct glaring spelling errors or correct obvious factual inconsistencies".
Furthermore, industry pundits have also revealed the truth around the questionable business practices being exposed by the lack of demand for LNUX stock. It appears that Linux's own community has begun to change their collective viewpoint.
"If linux is so great", said one, "why did they change their name from VA Linux"?

Ossama bin Laden is not dead as many people may think. He recently bought a new discreet airplane, launched a new restaurant chain in Nadjaf, and got married with a Pashtoun. The honey moon was in the moslim tradition, and with respect toward the shariah. Latest release was a photo of his hidden past of rocker in Yemen. Find out why Bush has so much hate toward Ossama

Sorry, but your sig bugs me everytime I see one of your posts. Do you think you could clean it up and instead of having a horrid URL displayed for "your" URL just change your sig to include a link the way God intended it? Here, try this on for size:

Much better, don't you think? I respect the fact that you're an old-timer, but sheesh. It'll take you 1 minute and you'll look 10 years more intelligent. And no, I don't believe in God. I just think the saying is funny. Who knows, maybe you wrote that at a time when you couldn't put HTML in sigs. But now you can. So get with it!!
