I am sure the phone company can pull a T1 out so if it is really that important to his livelihood why not bite the bullet? Dumping a home 2 months after buying would likely cost more.
If grinding and brewing is too tough get a super automatic espresso machine. Better long term purchase than a Keurig. Unground beans and water in and espresso out at the push of a button.
Sure it is 700-800 bucks but if you like coffee it is AWESOME (my wife and I drink a lot of coffee). The only problem is all other coffee tastes like old dishwater after you have one of these.
If this is the case the number says "Contact Us" on the front page so while the rest of us understand support isn't free your typical noob probably has no clue. Not that them being jerks is justified but you should make it painfully obvious that support isn't gratis.
1985 was only 1 year after the Ma Bell breakup and while the Macintosh was out IBM still dominated the PC business. So when you look at this in the context of the times it makes sense that they would think the network and infrastructure would be closed because that was the way things were during the time period. I am glad they aren't like that though I think with AT&T reformed and Apple controlling the whole experiance things might go back to the "Ma Bell" days:(
FTA: He is home educated and doesn't read as well as schooled kids of his age. He hasn't had much science education and no chemistry at all. None of his parents or grandparents have chemistry education beyond the school minimum and none feel confident about teaching it.
WTF? If not one in the house is qualified and no one has more than a HS diploma how and why is this child home schooled? This can't be good for the child.
The authors stance is how can I make Apple look better so facts be damned. This is the typical Apple puff piece designed to get people to buy more Apple stock. How else do you think Apple's stock is going to hit the target of $900/share.
My guess is he came out with the "Home Version" to start scamming the general public out of cash at $1000 a pop. Likely because momentum in the commercial/industrial world has slowed as they realize this is all fakery.
Why didn't the guy just make the stack of install floppies like we used to do back in the day? Or break out his PCMCIA SCSI card (still have one along with a single speed SCSI CD)
So they spent months, thousands of dollars in defense, thousands in city funds all over the fact that some drunk tool refused to tell the cop who he was?
Most if not arguably all the movies in the last few years are either remakes or rehashes, many artists rehash or sample others music and now society has started tolerating plagiarists. Is society stagnating?
What board games are you buying and where are you shopping? Last time I checked Scrabble and Monopoly were still in the sub-20 dollar range. Even Axis and Allies is 40-50 bucks. Even if they were 100 bucks you could buy 10-20 of them for the cost of an iPad and 3 iPhones.
So I have the choice of a buying a 10 dollar board game or spending thousands in on iPads and iPhones. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Tritium is just an isotope of Hydrogen. Being that it is too light the Earth to hold onto it gravitationally so doesn't it all just end up wisping away into space?
I hesitate to say it because the original was frankly one of the best Sci-Fi movies of all time but I think the message is still pertaent and as long as they stay true to the original it could be a very good movie to remake.
I have to say I am surprised that the whole concept of serial consoles, serial cards and what not are completely lost on the Windows generation.
Here are the kernel configs for using a serial dongle (costs around 5 bucks) on a USB port for as a serial console.
If you don't want to do that buy a serial port on a PCI card (costs around 10 bucks) or just buy a cheap watchdog card (most expensive least work since it emulates vga over serial).
I think this might be possible but would actually require structure, a great deal of discipline and a lot of work on the "teachers" part. I doubt most people are qualified or have the dedication do this effectively. So I suspect most people who try it will end up really hurting their children in the long run.
We used to live next door to some people who tried something similar to this and their kids didn't learn to read until they were 10 and even then they were likely functionally illiterate.
Additionally society and the work environment have some measure of structure and school is what introduces them to that. Without that the kids are at a disadvantage when they are flung into society and the workplace.

The studies that show homeschooling was better were skewed badly.

Or is this just more goverment brain drain because of the sequestor?

Looks like GM filed for this patent 12/2009. Anyone have any ideas how long Nissan has been doing this and/or planning on doing this?
Can't say I blame him. If I had to deal with Wintel all day I would hate computers too. Switch to *NIX, more control, more sense, more power!

Where are my BNC connectors and 50ohm terminators!
Seriously coax is a nightmare and like others said use the coax as a wire pull for some nice CAT6.

Don't forget that the average worker on this were paid 5-10 dollars a DAY. Pratically slavery
Will it be:
a. The company that makes the Dazzler
b. The company that makes the BeDazzler (that rhinestone pressing gadget)
