  1. Re:some Airports have an antenna connection on Open Node In A Bag · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My Extreme base-station does not sport an external antenna connector. Upon internal inspection, the circuit board(s) have the same connector as the original tiBook Airport/Orinoco cards. So buy a pigtail, external antenna, drill the hole and plug it in.

    Soon there'll be enough RF on wearables to cook your food, too!

    A friend was telling me of a location with XBOX games for the kids and wi-fi connections and TV on plasma displays for the grown-ups. What's next?

  4. I felt dumb... on End In Sight For Alpha · · Score: 1

    This is really old news.

    Compaq announced migration from Alpha to IPF (Itanium Platform Family) June 25, 2001.

    When we announced the HP-Compaq merger September 4, 2001, we further announced:

    Alpha => IPF in 2004-2005
    PA-RISC => IPF migration ongoing (they had planned this for several years already)
    Himalaya [Tandem] migration from MIPS to IPF in 2004-2005
    We're introducing Alpha EV7 / Marvel systems now, with EV79 systems 1 year from now. This will be the last Alpha systems, although we will sell them, and support them until 2011 minimum.

    VMS will be ported to IPF. Tru64 UNIX (primarily TruClusters) will be merged with HP-UX.

  5. Rare as they are on Review: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The close-ups of the phoenix made it look like a prop from a 60's monster movie. Very disappointing considering ILM was involved.

  6. Just the beginning on Burlington Northern to Stop Gene Tests for CTS · · Score: 1

    As an employee of BNSF, the official line was that we settled this long ago. The court action was only a follow through on the part of the EEOC and others to make sure that other corporations didn't try to do this.
