I mean, how would you support multiple people using one connect without the cable company or phone company saying "you can't do that, it's a breach of contract" and closing you down?
No problem here in Norway.. We have this great ADSL broadband company (NextGenTel [nextgentel.no]) who don't care how many computer you put behind the ADSL modem. Not that they have any chance of figuring it out either, because the thing does NAT. And it's really cheap, too. A NAN with an ADSL connection from them is a really great idea.. (-8

okay, it doesn't open in the background, but that's beside the point.
Nope, that's not beside the point.. Opening documents in the background is great. When I read/., I browse downwards the main page, and when I come to something intersting, I open it in the background (with Opera mouse gestures). It doesn't interfere with my news-reading. Afterwards, when there's nothing more interesting on/. to read, I cycle through the opened windows (wich by this time is finished loading (on my ISDN-line *sigh*)). (-8 Mouse gestures rocks!

Haven't you ever used a Macintosh? My 7 years old 60MHz Apple PowerMac 6100 (still going strong) has one cable to it's screen, the keyboard connected to the screen, and the mouse to the keyboard. The screen also has connectors for speakers/headphones and microphone. WITHOUT USB.. Tada! (-8
When I searched (for Bergen, my hometown in Norway 8-), I got a SQL-statement instead of the expected 404 (location not found):
SELECT access_point_id,locality,city,state_prov,country,p rovider,protocol,ispublic,encryption FROM access_point WHERE UPPER(locality) LIKE '%BERGEN%' ORDER BY locality,access_point_id
Is that a good thing? And BTW, this is my first post on/. ever! Wow!

Now that sounds great! Does anybody know of any projects that enables this kind of surfing under Linux?
