WiFi Gone Wild
b4k4 writes "According to this news release, the Texas Department of Transportation is proposing to install hotspots at all 84 Safety Rest Stops and 12 Travel Information Centers statewide. This would be in addition to the four test locations already in place along US287." Reader polluted notes that Portland is working on free WiFi. An anonymous reader sent in word of this year's wifi-shootout, a contest to maximize the range for an 802.11b connection. And Roland Piquepaille writes in regarding cows wearing WiFi collars, which I'm afraid reminds me of a crummy sci-fi movie.
So if Microsoft wanted to make another move in the enterprise market, it would have to content itself with a much smaller company. Brendan Barnicle, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, said Siebel Systems (SEBL: Research, Estimates) could make some strategic sense.

Other analysts said that security is an area that Microsoft should pursue. Microsoft has been hit by several high profile viruses and worms during the past few years and the continued vulnerability of the Windows operating system to further attacks has been a concern on Wall Street.
Microsoft made a small purchase last year of a Romanian anti-virus software company but Williams thinks that Microsoft will need to do more to beef up security problems. He said that Network Associates, which makes the popular McAfee line of anti-virus software, could be a good fit.

Thank you for reading this lame joke, enjoy the rest of your day!
my threshold is too low, but if I put it higher I won't be able to read my posts.
Piquepaille == spammer. Instead of using email to spam, he spams sites like Slashdot (and many others) using his blog.
Roland Piquepaille steals content and simply posts it on his blog without permission, how would you feel if someone took your hard work and just reposted it making them cash and you nothing ? call it what it is theft
Here is a direct quote from Piquepaille's Blogads advertising entry:
Why doesn't he just say "So if you want to associate yourself with a spammer, give me your money."?
Ignore the fact that he has no "stories" of his own, offers no original content and zero insight.
Like most spammers, he has no incentive to stop because it's profitable for him to spam Slashdot and other sites.
Make it unprofitable. Stop visiting his weblog. Express your
displeasure to the editors. Express your displeasure to Radio Userland
(they are a quiet participant in his spamming
[weblogs.com] since Userland has a small ad on the blog). Express your
displeasure to the advertisers. Let them know you won't buy products
they advertise there. Last of all, express your displeasure about his spam to Piquepaille himself.
You make Piquepaille's continued spamming possible with your traffic.
(As for all the spam references in this post, some might call it poetic justice. Maybe Google will pick it up and let everyone know.)br

It's got a 180hp naturally aspirated engine and goes to 60 in about 8 seconds with an 8000 rpm redline. It does go fast. And I don't need a car that makes my dick bigger, it already hurts my fiance.
I'm in the hole of the broadband donut.
