So once we do away with all that pesky ice will we have more land to grow crops? The hardest thing to do will be to convince everyone who will be flooded out not to leave and just learn to breath underwater. So it's all win win for those of us in the middle of the continents. Less people to feed and more arid land to grow crops on.
After many years of begging I finally broke down and got a xbox 360 to replace the aging Wii. I got the Halo 4 version since my son loves the Halo games. The game is rated teen but him and his friends have been playing it for a couple of years now. BTW he's also 9 (turning ten early next year). Now he just has to wait until Christmas and no he doesn't know he's getting it.
Ubiquity is really awesome gear and I've used their WiFi (802.11a/b/g) stuff for a few years now.
I had thought about doing the same sort of thing in my rural area and one suggestion I would make is this... Get a FCC license for your wireless (like the 3GHz range). This way you can keep people from trying to hack your signal a bit. Yes I know determined people can and will try but being in a license part of the spectrum mitigates this a bit.
Ubiquity has this type of gear and may even have some suggestions on how to get licensed. They also where able to provide me with a map of the area which gave me a really good idea of how far my signal could go with out putting up repeaters and such.
Many kids (my parents included) spent a lot of time working on the farm when they where kids. They even managed to find time to go to school and get their diploma and then on to university and then out in to the work force. Yes this was back in the 50's and 60's but it did happen. What it did do was give them a good work ethic that they passed along to me. I wish I could work my kids like I was and my parents. Living in the city they just don't get a chance to and their work ethic suffers because of it. We try to use other ways to instill this and yes they have their chores but it's nothing like what I grew up with.
Children working is not wrong. What is wrong is children slaving away making shoes and other goods for little or no money. Working along side your family is not slavery not to mention learning skills needed to take over the operation when your parents retire. At least the kids working on the farm are usually fed and clothed and have a roof over their heads.
On the Beach was a great novel. Very depressing. Even the movie was really depressing for 1959. Like you I was only able to read it once then watched the movie. Not sure I would ever read it again but only because of the feeling of emptiness I had when I was done.
I cut the cord about 3 years ago now. Dropped the satellite and cable subs (except for cable internet). Our big screen now only receives OTA and we get 5 channels here (we're in western Canada) and no US broadcasts as we're to far away from the border. Just about everything we want is OTA so it's no problem. To record those OTA's I'm using a myth box with a 1TB drive, a couple of tuner cards and us the HDMI out. I do have a sub for tv listings but that's only 20 buck a year (maybe 25 I can't remember). A second myth box to stream recorded to the upstairs. For everything else we just use a wireless mount/keyboard to surf the network web sites to watch or we use the bluray player for netflix. For things we can't get any other way we get the DVD's from the library when they come out (12 bucks a year). Besides we found once we cut the cable we started reading more, going out side more, talking more. All of those things that TV zaps out of you. Do your self a favour and send the kids out side to play, and maybe go with them.
I'm sure my children won't see this. Even though I don't buy them every new laptop or iPad that comes out and try to teach them that material goods are not a statement or worth. They see all their friends with the latest gadget and they want it to. Maybe someday they may see why we don't have cable or satellite and every fancy thing but until then I'm the bad guy because I don't want to spend the money on it. Even more probable is when they get out in to the work force they will just buy all that crap themselves and be happy. They won't have money to retire or for medical care but who cares... They will have their iPad.
There never will be a penalty. Just a promise from Rogers that they won't do it again. Mean while back at the data center they don't actually change anything. They might have to slip a few bucks to the CRTC. Stupid corrupt government. Just like everywhere else.
+1 to that. I use VOIP for all my phone needs. If I have a crappy phone connection then I shutdown or throttle my own stuff. No need for my ISP to do so. Just give me the bandwidth I pay for. Does any one actually have sympathy for Rogers/Bell/Shaw when they complain about their users actually using the network?
Really... You posted that as a reason to allow BPL? What happened to following the FCC rules. Mainly the "will not cause harmful interference" clause. As a amateur radio operator I can't cause harmful interference else they can take away my license to operate.
Also I'm in to HAM radio for the building, experimenting and talking to like minded people on the air. Not for emergencies. No if there is an emergency I'll gladly help when and where I can but its not my main purpose for using amateur radio.
If any of you think that the TSA won't wiggle their way into secure zone of a trans station, think again. All it will take is just a small mention of a pending attach and bang... TSA will be scanning you at Grand Central. The only reason they are not doing sub ways is because they are controlled by the city and don't cross state lines. They don't do freight trains because there are no passengers to feel up. And finally they can't justify using the TSA on current passenger trains because they just aren't popular enough. The TSA only exists for one reason. To create more TSA employees. They have no interest in keeping people safe.
More than one person has died around here because they had to much security. When the fire broke out they couldn't get in and the guy in side couldn't get out. I actually watch a neighbours house burn to the ground because they tried the door and couldn't get in. They just poured water on it from the out side and found the remains later. Hope he was dead before the fire got to him.
They don't want to involve IT because we ask to many hard questions like: "Who's going to use the system?" "Do we want to put that promotion on the web site or just in the news paper?" "Do we want to track our click through rate?" "Is there power and network available in that spot?" "
You know, stuff that everyone else just doesn't understand.
I'm a ham radio op, and my kids are interested in that. They're only 8 and 5. I let them on the air every once in a while and my daughter is on and off again with Morse code. One rainy Saturday afternoon I got a couple of FM radio kits and sat with them and we put the whole thing together. Yes they cost 16 bucks each and I had to help my 5 year old put it together but they love those things now. They sound horrible but they would rather use them then the $50.00 AM/FM/CD players they have. I would have to say that the main thing is spending time with them doing all kinds of things. I'm better at the electronics and handy man type of things. My wife teaches them art and crafts. Both my wife and I are in to music so thats something we can teach them together. Really it just comes down to teaching them a little bit of everything and letting them decide what they want to do. Then you just need to be able to afford it!
I agree with the first post. One of the biggest things you will have to do is actually have the software used in the real world. With out that its really doomed. I've written a POS system for my company and while they are not about to let me release the code (its in VB6 anyway), I wouldn't mind helping out on a project like this. I can't promise to spend hundreds of hours on it but I am willing to share pitfalls that I've run into.

You do realize that they supply the USA with oil and hence they really can't condemn them and don't care to even try.

But will fusion get me my flying car any sooner!
Thank you. I was almost ready to post the same question.
That's funny because most citizens thing the corporations are obnoxious criminals pushing their own agenda.
Everyone has an agenda. Everyone is a criminal if you pass enough laws.

Oh won't someone think of the children!
No wonder my TV is always covered. Time for a bubble dome to keep it all out.

You listen to No Agenda don't you.

That's the way our company works.
They don't want to involve IT because we ask to many hard questions like:
"Who's going to use the system?"
"Do we want to put that promotion on the web site or just in the news paper?"
"Do we want to track our click through rate?"
"Is there power and network available in that spot?" "
You know, stuff that everyone else just doesn't understand.

We didn't export them to you. They left because nobody would play their stuff. Its not our problem that your radio decides to play crap.
