Internet Access While Sailing? (Revisited)
El Genio Malvado writes "10 years ago the question was asked, What is the best way to get Internet while at sea? After reading the responses — and after a decade of technological advancement — is there a better, more reliable method? For someone with the ability to telecommute 100% of the time, then the idea of sailing around the world with a paycheck direct deposited must be getting more and more tempting. What does the community at large have for modern resources for constant streaming internet at sea?"
... what about getting sex...
That's what sea cucumbers are for.
... and then they built the supercollider.
A+++ yuck. Would spew again.
It's amazing how much it relies stress too, so it's a win-win for both me and the company.
I would be afraid that whatever technology you select to stay connected with the source of all your income would suffer from outages too often. I think in this case it would increase stress if anything.
However, it would be great way to start a day by waking up in the morning and take a swim in the sea in middle of nowhere.
Middle of the ocean? Why would such a featureless landscape seem any different from another featureless landscape? I would think it would be amazing to go to the Maldives or another resort-y area and take a swim there. But the middle of nowhere ... why?
what about getting sex
Please, I'm in the middle of DC and I'm probably getting as much as I'd get in the middle of the ocean. I am posting on Slashdot after all ... I do enjoy how you commoditize it though. "Sir, may I take your order?" "One hot steamy cup of sex, please!"
My work here is dung.
yes, nothing has 100% uptime, thank you captain obvious. It would also be helpful to let him know that the sea is in fact both blue and wet. And since we're wasting time stating common knowledge, you are a douchebag.
You cant find wired services that have 100% up times.Good luck with the wireless tube dream.
INTERNET IS TUBES!
Get a diving suit and a pair of wire cutters...
Dive down to an underwater cable, cut it and splice yourself into the middle of it! High bandwidth internet access at sea.

Yes, for example Columbus. Since he had no internet access, he could not just look up his coordinates in Google Earth to find out where he was, and therefore he thought he were in India when he wasn't. Also a quick check in Wikipedia would have shown him that true Indians look quite different, and he would not have mistaken the native Americans for Indians.
So you see, having internet access is quite important when sailing.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
If you downloaded copyrighted works illegally while you are sailing does THAT make you a pirate? If you did do such a thing where would the RIAA send the notice?
Lol this is just a joke, that is all.
You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.
Also a quick check in Wikipedia would have shown him that true Indians look quite different, and he would not have mistaken the native Americans for Indians.
Perhaps Columbus had a very-early draft copy of a textbook that would come to be approved by the Texas Board of Education?
