maxstreampr wrote in to plug their radio modem. It's the size of a credit card, one watt, and can transmit 40 miles line of sight or 3000 feet indoors. Something about using the AT command set to fire off a command 40 miles through the air amuses me.

    the radiation emitted by hosting slashdot (because of all the traffic, obviousley) would give you some form of cancer (most likely prostate if you have a laptop)....
