You can't buy a machine gun in WalMart. Although you can still but a pre-ban (1986) machine gun from a class III dealer if you fill out the paperwork for the BATF and pay the $200 tax and live in a state that at least pays lip service to obeying the constitution. I actually DO own a 9mm full-auto sub-machine gun, and I'm not a cop, collector or extremest of any wing.

As far as self defense goes there is absolutely no substitute for a nice.45. I like the Para-Ordinance P14-45 made in Canada of all places.
Ultimately you can't pick and choose which rights you like and ignore the rest. Either the bill of rights stands as a whole or we might as well not bother having a Constitution.

Just because the RANGE is 1km doesn't mean the RF stops there. RF keeps going and going subject only to the inverse square rule, or something absorbs it and converts it to heat (like your tv dinner in the microwave). That's why we still receive microwave radiation leftovers from the big bang today.
The "leftover" radiation from millions of devices could significantly raise the noise floor and cause problems for all operators, licensed or not.
It's a well known concept in economics that increasing free trade ("globalization") while raising the standard of living for the world overall, will result in lower average wages in the US. The other side of the coin is that it is also supposed to make things less expensive, so the lower wages don't hurt so much. I guess we'll see.
The job upheaval is a direct result of the information economy and the fluid nature of modern business. Will people in power screw someone else to make themselves better off? Duh... Get over it. It's been that way since the beginning and isn't going to change. Whining about it won't help.
Actually IPs do cost $$$$s. ARIN charges based on the number of IP addresses assigned to the ISP. It starts at $2250/year for/14.
So a/20 (the smallest they like to hand out) is 4080 IP addresses that works out to a little over 55 cents per ip/year. Yes it's less than $4.50, but it's not free either.
I have three 19 inch relay racks installed along one wall of the computer room in my house. The effect is kind of a wall of computers and audio equipment, looks great in a high tech, geeky kind of way. You can pick up AT and ATX cases in 4U and 2U sizes from several computer parts stores ( I got some of mine from Altex in Dallas) You can also pick them up cheap at computer flea markets and Ham radio conventions. The great thing about racks is I'm always adding something, rebuilding a server or something. With the racks I can always shuffle things around and make it fit. I used the open relay rack instead of the cabinets because a 72" rack can be had for as little as $100 new as opposed to a cabines which can cost thousands. You just fasten them to the floor and use ladder to brace against the wall. Do it right and it's rock solid.
I use mine for well over 2K minutes a month and I know lots of people that use more. I hardly even use a land line any more for voice. Use the T1 at home for net stuff so no PSTN line there. The cell is less expensive for ld.
It's interesting that the leader of the mini revolution lost out and was bought by a PC manufacturer. Ironic isn't it. I still have an 11/750 in my garage. I fire it up a couple of times a year.
I also have the Palm Vx/Omnisky setup and have been very pleased with it. When I first got it I thought I would have a problem justifying the price for just a few emails a day, but I find that I'm using it constantly. Email, stock quotes,/. headlines... I even use it to ping devices on the Internet and telnet to routers when I don't have a PC handy. The Vx with modem is about the same size as the III or VII, and battery life is pretty good. I can usually go a whole day on the modem without recharging, and I use the heck out of it.

Let's say a plumber used a length of pipe to bash someone in the head. After he is released from prison, His parole officer tells him he can't go back to being a plumber, he has to flip burgers for minimum wage. Meanwhile his plumbing skills are wasted. Obviously an absurd situation, yet that is exactly what's happening here.
How is Mitnick supposed to become a functional contributing member of society if the government won't let him practice the trade he knows? It sounds to me like there are people in the "justice" system who are so focused on making an example out of him they forgot the JUSTICE part.
If your walls are plaster on metal lathe, forget about it. If they're just wood and plaster, you should be able to cover a house with one card in your router or accesspoint.
I use these on my office campus and cover a typical 20,000sqft. metal stud wall office building with just one access point.
I'd believe a government worker putting in 32 hours, but not an IS type in the private sector. I do 45 to 50 (when everything's working right) at my "day" job (network engineer), then spend another 20 to 30 a week at my ISP.
Those government figures aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
I was in one of Judge Whitten's business law classes at UNT and while she was a little strange herself, she struck me as being a solid person, well grounded in the law.

Time Doesn't Exist

So time doesn't exist... That would explain how time seems to speed up when your having fun and seems to slow down when your bored. If the illusion of time is caused by memory, and assuming the brain can only store a finite amount of data/second, when exciting things are going on we have more detailed but fewer records causing the illusion of less time. When things slow down and change less, we have less detailed (because there is less change and less new stuff to store), and more frequent records, causing a perception of "more" time.
FM isn't a frequency band, but a method of modulating a RF wave to carry information (Frequency Modulation). I use FM at 1.2 GHz every day to carry a TV signal to an ATV repeater in Dallas.
The MP3 X-10 unit is a variation on the Wave Comm units that can be used to transmit audio and composite video signal to another room. They use spread spectrum and you can choose from several different frequency ranges.
I got "The Letter" and I actually believed the initial $10-$12 range. I know IPOs are weird, even put in $1300 to cover any excess. Then RedHat goes and changes the range at the last minute. So I'm $100 short. I know that the breaks, but it still leaves a bad taste behind. I see this IPO as a big PR blunder for RedHat. I know I'm not happy.

Oh yeah, that was supposed to be the shuttle. NASA's blowing smoke again.
I'm assuming you'll have to have the traffic shaper on the LAN side of the wireless network. This means that your QOS and bandwidth restrictions will happen on the wrong side of your wireless network. Since you're not differentiating your speeds at the wireless side, all customers will be competing for the wireless bandwidth at the same speed. I'd be pretty upset if I was paying you full price for high bandwidth but couldn't get it.

In the ling run it's not bad at all. Standard of Living is more than just wages, and a great many fewer have nots in the world would be a Good Thing.
The world will just be a more chaotic place while it happens. What I don't want to see is more government and a global welfare state.
Except that they still need consumers, and people with no jobs and no money are not consumers.
Why the interest in China? Consumers.
No one wants a nation of poor unemployed people, they want people that can affort to buy stuff.
