OQO fixed the wifi range issue, and is allowing anyone who purchased a unit with poor performance to return it for upgrade at no cost. Excellent customer service.
You really need at least two external servers. Here's why:
Suppose the authorities notice dissident activity from the first external server. If they then determine that I've been making connections to that dissident server, I'll be put under investigation. Yes my data may have been encrypted, but the connection alone is enough to raise suspicion.
However, if I have two external servers, I use the first as a proxy to the second, and use the second to conduct dissident work. Since both servers are beyond the regime's control, they have no way of discovering the connection between them and attributing the dissident activity to me.
This depends entirely on the area of the country, and the job sector you are planning on entering. For instance, I'm in the mid-atlantic and jobs like fixing bugs for large companies pays low to mid 40's (maybe high 40's to low 50's if you're lucky and/or an excellent candidate).
There are a lot of jobs in the defense sector right now, and those can pay significantly more since contractors need to fill staffing requirements for gov't contracts that are already funded.
When graduating last May, I expected (and received) upper 50's from a small defense contractor in this region. This month, my company re-baselined salaries, putting me in the upper 60's.
So, depending on what sort of companies you're targeting, you can expect anywhere from mid 40's to upper 50's (in the mid-atlantic).
You have a point, but what we have here is a prime example of the difference between a code and a cipher. Defining "A" to mean "Please Patiently Ponder Purported Poe Puzzle" is an example of encoding. The only way to solve a true code without any starting information is by statistical analysis of the content, which in this case we do not have. Naturally, with this method more content provides better statistical analysis with a greater likelihood of revealing the correct solution.
Because we have a relatively small amount of content to decrypt and no piece of the code already revealed as a starting point, we should assume that this puzzle is encrypted with some sort of cipher, which automatically means that it is able to be decrytped rather easily once the pattern of the cipher has been determined.
I would also suggest James P. Hogan's _The Two Faces of Tomorrow_ and his "Giants" novels (Inherit the Stars, The Gentle Giants of Ganymede, and Giant's Star) Classic Sci-fi and very well written.

RTF whatever. It's unfortunate that you were modded interesting, when your comment is so violently misinformed.
My money is on the Apple Tablet being unveiled. ... but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
If there's anyone left on slashdot who hasn't seen goatse, they've just had their innocence shattered.

The cable is still terrible, though.

Can I still forward emails to Italy?
how will it affect his business?
I bet spamming is a lot like Monopoly, in that you can still make money from jail.

Hope that helps!
That Stephen Hawking is a QuakeMaster!
It'll be just like all those sci-fi movies, only we'll probably end up with standards wars anyway.

This is good news for *all* of us.

This will no doubt result in even more shipping delays and higher costs due to parts availability probems for end-users.
