That math may be why Quantum Physics waits until the graduate level.
Pretty sure quantum mechanics gets taught to undergrads (for some definition of rigorous). And even at that "elementary" level, some amount of math is invaluable to intuit quantum weirdness. For example, I'm not sure what the conceptual/non-mathematical understanding of the (quantum mechanical) car bouncing off the edge of the (quantum mechanical) very high vertical cliff would look like; however, the only vaguely mathematical explanation is quite simple and concise.
Hook the router to a lead-acid, put it in repeater mode. This is especially easy if the router wants 12v, as most UPSs (and conventional ICE cars in the U.S., for that matter) use 12v batteries.
This solves the "what to do with old 802.11b equipment?" problem, but introduces the new problem, "what to do with mobile repeaters?" -- I'm sure you can be creative, though =)
Furthermore, it'd be feasible to make a Morse-to-data protocol. Granted, if it were to be understandable by humans (thus arguably still Morse code), it'd make 56k look like T3*, but still...
* I know, I know, someone's going to compare fastest human Morse ability (after properly encoding binary into some sort of Huffman-Morse code) to 56k, and show that my ratios are way off...
It's somewhat akin to smuggling guns into China for non-state-approved use. Since this is a self-described nerd news site, we generally care more about freedom of information than the right to firearms. However, that doesn't make it against the law (be it spirit or letter). Personally, I think that freedom of information is somehow more "fundamental" than freedom to own firearms, but far be it from me to impose my morals on another people.
Indeed; when the generation which grew up on myspace and facebook produces "important" people (e.g., congresspeople, senators) it's likely that the only candidates with no dirt on them are the ones who were socially inept in their college days.
Come to think of it, that might give the/. crowd something of an edge...
Sure, but why are you confident that the sun won't turn into a red giant and swallow earth? Probably because we've observed red giants, and at present, our sun is in no danger of becoming one. But in a similar (or not...) way, we've observed nuclear meltdowns, and current nuclear designs (should) learn from the shortcomings of the flawed designs (or circumstances surrounding) prior disasters.
Yeah, yeah, the sample size favors stars considerably more than reactors, but then, I'm just typing to hear my own keystrokes.
Yeah, I read that and thought a fusion reactor had taken to wearing black clothes (from a thrift store), smoking (but only for affectation's sake) and contemplating existence in the face of this dark, heartless world.

In the interest of gender equality, I tried to introduce Jok-Strap notation. It didn't catch on.

Hpsi = Epsi
Just divide out psi and you're done!

Aside from the fact that it uses Google Voice, you can make a very open system for controlling lights/power/etc. from a cell phone/email/IRC/whatever.
Heck, even the iPhone 4 is a few months old.
"If it doesn't work, the mission control is blind," said Piccard.
If captain of the Enterprise advises against it, it's a good call to postpone the flight. (Also, people, learn to spell "Picard.")

Seeing as my post predicted (with high accuracy) your post, I demand that my post be modded +5 Insightful.
Apologies for not providing a baseline, though you did get my intended comparison.

So do porn sysadmins!
I've been using Google Voice as an SMS-email relay to remotely control appliances. Glad more people will have the option of doing the same!
I want to be a Special Master.
Seriously, can you think of a better job title? "Tame Racing Driver" is the only one that even comes close.

A completely blank video, extending the concept of the blank canvas in the temporal dimension.
Not trying to be modern at all, but that's the only video my i7 Debian laptop can play (unless the Guggenheim has joined the HTML5 Beta...).

Let me just say that fusion power is aweful; we should be using solar power instead.
I'll just wait for the irony to sink in. Yeah.

Who knew fusion reactors were so...emo?
