I do a lot of work related travel on the dry-side. There are gaps but there was only one town that I didn't have service in, Grand Coulee, WA. So I just hooked my butt-set up to the DBU line at the site. I have received the absolute best customer service from T-Mobile that I'm willing to put up with a few dead zones.
2001:470:a:6bb::/64 is an H-E tunnel (and seemingly oddly, a host address.) I can't remember if they do swippage on it, or even if there is SWIP for IPv6.
If they are looking to this 50 year old geek for what is cool then expect ham radio to make a great come back. Most likely they are looking at my habits and using that info to steer away from anything I think is cool. Trust me, my grandkids concur.
Certification event for 787 Boeing will mark expected FAA approval of its Dreamliner jet with a ceremony Friday. By Michelle Dunlop, Herald Writer The Boeing Co. is planning an event Friday morning to mark certification of its 787 Dreamliner jet from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Boeing wrapped up flight testing on its mostly composite 787 on Aug. 13 and submitted its paperwork to the FAA for review.
Boeing expects to receive the FAA's approval on the Dreamliner this week and will hold a ceremony Friday at its Everett factory.
The jet maker plans to hand over the first 787 to Japan's All Nippon Airways in late September, more than three years late.
On Tuesday, ANA outlined its plans for flying the 787 commercially.
The carrier will fly the 787 with passengers for the first time Oct. 26 on a special charter flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The airplane will fly a return trip the following day.
ANA will fly 787 "excursion flights" on Oct. 28 and 29, departing from and returning to Tokyo, to allow interested travelers to experience the Dreamliner.
The 787's first regular commercial flight will be on Nov. 1, when ANA flies it from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Okayama, Japan. Beginning in December, ANA will use the 787 to fly between Tokyo and Beijing. In January, the airline will fly the Dreamliner on flights from Tokyo to Frankfurt, Germany.
ANA has 55 787s on order with Boeing. The jet maker has received orders for more than 800 Dreamliners.
Besides handing over the first 787 next month, Boeing also plans to deliver the first 747-8 freighter. The company received FAA certification last week on the upgraded 747 jumbo jet.

My first mobile telephone was full duplex, and had a vacuum tube final amplifier.

How are the first three bytes of 2001:470:a:6bb:21f:29ff:fe87:88c0 going to tell them anything about my location?
What was the solution to the problem of people thinking that nobody else could hear them talking on a radio?
The first solution was to legislate that it was illegal to sell receivers that could pick up the cell band.
Yes he did, it was the paid copy that we ran on the computer club's Altair.
Heck, back in the late 70s I called up Microsoft with an question about BASIC and Gates answered the phone and the question.
Can't say THAT ever happened again.
Recruit astronauts from the Alaska Fisheries then. Hell, the TV rights would almost pay for it.
I'm guessing Joe Miller.
Fatal accidents, I'm guessing you mean. Apollo 13 was quite the accident.
I like that thought. I'll have to dwell on that for a few weeks. Thanks!
I have no problem using my /. username on any Google service. I don't know what you are talking about.

Those kids will never figure out how to keep the mower going.
If water starts spilling into the subway system in quantity, the results would be catastrophic.
It could wash away some of the smell of piss?
Alaska Air flies 737s. Period.

Close slashdot and go refactor something.
Make a special dual rail?
DropZone will save Alaska!
(it's an inside AK joke.)
Hell, you don't even have a freaking road to your state capitol! And people wonder how Alaska Air makes a profit.
