    You better keep your cowardly ass anonymous if you ever come up to my part of the country. Those words would get you lynched.

    I think that most of the -8 orders are for cargo. And it just passed certification last week.

    Oh and the A380 is butt ugly. The 747-8 and the Dreamliner are sex with wings.

    And if you want large, there is always the Dreamlifter. Nothing like seeing all three parked out at Paine.

    And a 911 is almost the last car I'd want in Anchorage. Even for the 2 weeks of the year you can drive it. I really liked the old Cherokee that ACS gave me to drive when we were working up there. It made the November trips to Soldotna almost enjoyable. It was also the only black rig in the telco fleet which was kinda of a cool. It was the company car for the CEO of alaska.net before ACS bought them. We drove that rig all over Alaska on the weekends sight seeing. During the week it was for site seeing (like that AT&T long lines site between Palmer and Wasilla where we had the NNI for MatSu telco.)

    Please elaborate more on the actual devices that you use to achieve this. Brand names would help, links even better.

    I'm not thinking of using this stuff as a trickster, It's for industrial/commercial use. The last job I did had two dozen WAPs (think big box stores.)

    Thanks!

  13. Re:And keeping credit card info? on House Panel Approves Bill Forcing ISPs To Log Users · · Score: 1

    This seems to apply only to those without a static IP address. I haven't had an ISP serve me up a random address since the early days of dial-up, and even that IP was tied to the terminal server port that I dialed in on from the main hunt-group number. (Since I watched the POP for the ISP I had the full list of modem numbers so I would often call in on the last line in the hunt and effectively have a static IP.)

    I now pay a slight bit more for my two static IPs and the PTR records. I buy my service from a true mom & pop ISP where I can talk to the guy that is in the routers. It costs me about $15/month more than Frontier and DHCP, but I feel that it is worth it. What geek wouldn't want a "real" IP address anyway?

    If you see my address on your server you can dig -x it and then whois and you have my address and cell phone number. That's the way it should work when a host is properly setup.

    Citation?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery States "..no memory effect.." and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect states: "battery memory, is an alleged effect observed in nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries.." and continues on with "True memory effect is specific to sintered-plate nickel-cadmium cells, and is exceedingly difficult to reproduce, especially in lower ampere-hour cells. In one particular test programâ"especially designed to induce memoryâ"no effect was found after more than 700 precisely-controlled charge/discharge cycles."

    Having dealt with thousands of hand held radios, of various battery types, in many various operating conditions, I can agree with the above findings.
