He's likely never had to buy and sell a home. Lord knows I wouldn't want to do that in the bay area right now. When you're 50, like us, you just don't shove everything in a backpack and hop a Greyhound for a job.
Like Kristofferson sang: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.."
That's one that always gets me. Why is it if there is more than one adult in a car or truck, the driver is the one on the phone? Is it some type of boss man control issue?
Could low-cost computers that read your physical behavior launch an entire new industry of âoereal worldâ personal apps? Could it tell if you are brushing your teeth properly? Could it remind you to hang up your clothes, instead of leaving them on the floor? Could it determine that your love-making skills are not up to par, and offer specific suggestions for better technique or timing? Oh! The mind boggles at how much people would pay for those apps.
I already have a wife.
If I bought more than one such app, would I be a polyappest? Does the EULA come with a pre-nup? If I delete the program does it take half my RAM and hard drive space with it? Do I have to pay support to any subroutines we generated?
Not so much the free calling (I have unlimited because of my work) but for getting a signal at all. I live out on an Indian reservation where the T-Mobile signal is very weak. UMA lets me get calls at home when I'm not out on the deck.
Speaking of grandfathered, I do have the T-Mobile "POTS" line on my router. The router actually takes a SIM card and hands me a "POTS" line. $15/month unlimited. Too nice to give up.
And, can we keep our low UIDs when we move? Didn't think so. I like being an old fart on the legacy service. Hell, I remember when images.slashdot.org was on a 90MHz Pentium box running slackware.
I guess that's why I still have my Blackberry. And T-Mobile let's me tether it on Ubuntu.
And why yes! I am a ham radio operator. Did you want to see my 77 baud Teletype?
Well, Bruce, since I'm an independent field engineer (I go around fixing things) I use my car to drive to various jobs and perform my craft. Hopefully in most cases my transportation costs ('92 plastic Saturn, so not that big of a number) are less than what I charge for my services (and I get to write off the mileage.) So my car, along with my skill-set, bag of tools, and my contacts that provide customers, enable me to make a profit. The car is essential in that it allows me to perform enough jobs in a week to keep dire straights at bay. (bit of a pun there since I travel mostly in NW Washington State, often of ferries.)
Could I work at one place and take transit? I did that for two decades and am tired of it. Besides, who's going to fix the VPN at the end site if not for blokes like me?
If Obama sold the US to China, it was to pay off Bush and Cheney's credit card.
(Crap, that is so blatantly partisan.)
Fuck, they are all part of the military industrial complex supported by funds of the Zion bankers that failed (but were saved) and controlled by the Illuminated Ones so that a One World Government would arise (even though a two world government would still allow them to play the "divide the masses" game) and grant a socialist hegemony upon all the world so that citizens/slaves (Except for the Scientology Movie Stars, which are blessed by superpowers and riches because they have good genes and can parrot lines.) would gladly live in quiet (but, let us pretend, happy) desperation while still keeping a decent modicum of basic infrastructure maintained.
I mean, what the fuck is being rich for unless there are poor to piss on.
I just might have to switch back to FreeBSD for my desktop. I still use BSD for anything headless, Ubuntu just made me lazy when it came to an acceptable UI. All I really need is Firefox, xterm and a video player, oh, and a torrent client. My main three tasks are looking up docs and reading gmail, hacking router and asterisk configs, and watching MasterChef Australia.
10 megs used separate pairs for each direction, more modern modulation methods or whatever use all the pairs both ways.
Some nits picked:
a) Original 10Mb/s was 10base5 or 10base2 which used a single coaxial cable, effectively "one pair". 10baseT uses two pairs.
b) 100baseT (Fast Ethernet), like 10baseT, uses one pair in each direction. It's where you get into 1000baseT that really trick shit is going on with 5 different voltages over all four pairs.
c) IP (TCP/ICMP/UDP) requires bidirectional flow for handshaking just to set up the connection.
Take-off and landing is the most dangerous part of a flight. They don't want you to be tripped up by a trailing headphone cable if you have to exit the plane quickly.
Some of best sushi I've ever had was in Anchorage at Yamato (across from the phone company on Telephone Avenue.) And quite the choice of places too for a town that size.

Replace "people" with "spelling of candidate's name" and you almost have Alaska's last senatorial election.
I have an old Pathoclast that I'm restoring. I'm just not sure how to tell if it's actually working.
It will be donated to the James Randi Educational Foundation's new LA headquarters when the move is complete.
Have you seen the price on an ASN these days? It would almost pay for a T1.
So if the prior art is from the future...
..the mayor has decided that it's more important to clog up traffic with excessive bike lanes.
Live in Seattle, do we?
And Snohomish County Community Transit doesn't even run on Sundays.

Well, I use it all the time for UMA at home. Not that I'm expecting BlackBerry to ever incorporate this code in my old Pearl.
I can't figure out how to mod this salivating.

The police don't make a profit for the community.
With red light cams some are now considered a profit center.

The best I've gotten is connected with "local leaders" who are all apparently morons with temper issues...
Hanging out at DropZone again?
Also see Frederik Pohl's "The Midas Plague".
/. ID under 2,000. I feel old now.
We are old now.

I guess I need the Luckenbach, Texas distro.
I couldn't find the "Buy Now!" button.

Pepboys & LensCrafters are two that I "refreshed" this last month.

Living on a rez myself now I love real American food. You haven't had salmon BBQ until you've had it from net to fire in 10 minutes.
Raw whale is a bit of an acquired taste though.
(Oh, Tulalip, BTW.)
