  1. Re:Site Survey on Is There Too Much Enthusiasm Over Wireless? · · Score: 1

    Ah. I work for a WISP in California, and we have heard complaints from non-users in apartment complexes we service, and while we use 200mW radios, we've made sure our EIRP is within FCC limits, because we ph34r the FCC pwning us.

  3. Shameless plug ;) Great D20 SciFi on Dungeons and Shadows · · Score: 1

    A good friend of mine writes RPG books, and I figured I'd mention some of them here. He's written some great D20 based SciFi stuff, Dead Stars, and the followup Universial Decay. I helped playtest these, and they're great fun. The item creation system is a lot of fun, you can customize pretty much any of you gear. In the two campains I played in, I played a hacker/technogeek in the first, and a tough gun-toting cyborg. It was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it more then any other RPG i've played in. The Dead Stars rulebook is free, and Universial Decay is inexpensive. Please check it out if you have a chance, it's worth your time.

    Goatse and tubgirl were 'popular' because it amuses some people to horrificly grose out other people. As to geeks being sexual deviants... Well I'm certinaly rather kinky, but I can't speek for the rest of the geek population, but ESR seems to think a lot of is are pervs.

    I think to really be useful for the purposes of this sex needs to last at LEAST half an hour, if not an hour, and be at least three times a week.

    That said, my sex life this past week:

    Saturday) No sex.
    Sunday) 30 mins mid afternoon.
    Monday) No sex.
    Tuesday) 10 minute quickie.
    Wednesday) about 45 minutes in a play structure at a public park.
    Thursday) No sex
    Friday) 90 minutes morning sex.

    This barely counts as regular exercise. During the week I also walk 10 minutes each way between a bus termnial and my office, but that is not sustanid activity, so it doesn't really count either. Oh well.

    Queue the comments accusing me of lying about my sex life (I'm not, and I really don't care if you don't belive me)

    Linksys is not so good as it gives away the manufacturer and allows an attacker to target the attacks.
