My alarm company AAA Alarms installed mine with a wireless option. The hardware was ~$200 and the monitoring for the radio another $18/month but it was still cheaper in the long run over paying for a landline I wouldn't use. Ironic thing? AAA Alarms is owned by the local phone company.
Nonsense, ham radio is far superior than land line, it gives the sound quality an earthly vibrant texture, unlike the harsh undertones of the land line.
Wow, for a moment I thought you were comparing vinyl to CD, not ham radio to land line.

Not only that, but didn't Woz give the schematics away to anyone who wanted it?
The early Apple was a truly great company in the way it shared information. My first machine ever was an Apple ][+ I bought (with 50% of the cost from my parents) in 1981. It came with several spiral bound books, my favourite being the System Reference manual. That had an assembler dump of the ROM, schematics, etc. I cut my teeth on that machine (which I still have in working order FWIW). Replaced the resistor in a resistor/capacitor pair on a 555 timer chip with a potentiometer to have a variable repeat key speed.
Yeah, that kind of shit is all done in software nowadays, but I did this by reading the docs from Apple and some Trial & Error when I was 15.
Fast forward to today and, honest truth, I was THIS CLOSE to buying a pair of iPhones for the coolness and opted not to because of the way those NON TECHNICAL CUNTS who run things opted to SUCK THE COCK of AT&T rather than being true geeks.
Obviously, I didn't buy the phones. Have a jailbroken iPod touch for Google Voice and future cool Bluetooth stuff but I'm saddened that I have to go off the grid for coolness when, back in the day, Apple == Cool.
In my 43 years I've never believed in a god or gods. (My parents must have raised me properly!) Would my time be better spent going to a museum/science exhibition to learn something or going to churches, synagogues, mosques, cult retreats, etc. to have supernatural woo-woo fed to me?
Going to the religious bits wouldn't make me a "bigger man", it'd make me a "man wasting his time".
Slashdot Mirror
that fourth major BSD â" has had its 2.4 release
Six more BSDs and they will officially go from "mindless roving undead" to "collectively intelligent zombie horde."
hahahaa, wish I had mod points today, that was fucking hilarious.
"Outraged Christian bloggers"?
Boy, remind me not to get on their bad side! They may pray me to death with their eerie powers...
Anyway, what about the rest of the kids?
They're wearing hockey helmets sitting in a short school bus.
Season 1? Why not compare shows strictly by their pilots, while you're at it?
I'm a busy fellow and just compare shows by the commercials. "More To Love" looks like a winner!
Take that, Thought Police!
AHhh, this is why the EMC guy committed suicide. It wasn't because he was dying of cancer.
FTA: What this episode really uncovers is that AT&T is dying
Awaiting confirmation from Netcraft.

You can't parody a parody?
No, the second negates the first making it ALL TRUE!

There's still the issue of voice bandwidth. Telephones are already limited enough. Cell phones have an even smaller frequency response range.
Are you planning on sing opera over the phone?

This differs from the built-in Google Maps... how?
Google Maps is free so it just can't be as good as TomTom's pricey AppStore app!

That's a ridiculous argument.
In my 43 years I've never believed in a god or gods. (My parents must have raised me properly!) Would my time be better spent going to a museum/science exhibition to learn something or going to churches, synagogues, mosques, cult retreats, etc. to have supernatural woo-woo fed to me?

they have some really good exhibits showing documented evidence which supports the Creationist view.
What? There's evidence that a superbeing created the universe? If that were indeed true, the discover(s) would be a shoe-in for a Nobel Prize.
Maybe if the crash happened while the user was in the Bermuda Triangle?
