    What would happen if you ran the Yagi directly into a small Omni antenna? would that act as a passive repeater with a strong enough signal in the house?

  3. Re:Cell On Wheels on Mobile Cell Phone Towers For Disaster Relief · · Score: 1

    I have one sitting at my shop right now. Storage and whatnot for VZW. Built in 100' tower, and 50KW Generator, plus 10x20 building.

  8. Re:I dont think I would hack my car on Hack Your Car · · Score: 3, Funny

    And that's why computer repair shops have the bad reputation that they do.... "those guys lost all my data!!", "they're charging me what? for just sitting there typing on a keyboard?", etc...

  9. Re:Abuse?! on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    How exactly does is this abuse?

    He didn't submit a story, then accept it himself (quad karma!), and it is his site to begin with.

  12. AHH on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 1

    I'll believe that it was just an accident, if it doesn't try to go and run into scale models of large buildings.....

  13. Re:Ours were Mobius Strips on Designing and Making Custom Wedding Bands? · · Score: 1

    That's kinda cool.. I've always been interested in mobius strips too.. Do you have pictures?

  14. I saw one of these on T-Shirt Cannon · · Score: 1

    I was at a WWE smackdown at the Spokane Arena, and they had a t-shirt cannon, but from what I could tell, it didn't have a CO2 cylinder. The distance that it shot seemed to be controlled by a pneumatic arm or something. It seemed easy enough to reload it, just stick one or two shirts in the barrel, and it was ready to fire.

    It had an awesome range though. I want one!

  15. Re:I can' t even imagine... on Nokia 3650 Released in US Market · · Score: 1

    I work for a wireless ISP (802.11b), we run into all sorts of fun stuff.. 2.4 Ghz phones, old microwaves that people decide is good to place next to their radio.. Finally got a Spectrum Analyzer so that we could see what we were dealing with. Fun, but expensive toy..

    But yeah, there's plenty of interference.. at least in northeast washington state...

  18. Re:Full Spectrum Lights OT on On Decorating Your Computer Room? · · Score: 1

    Sigh. Yeah, Walmart is taking over my little town here in Washington USA.. Had a regular one for a while, then they decided to upgrade it to a Macro Wally World, AKA Super Walmart. Going to be opening here in a few months.. everyone's saying that it's going to destroy local business; I'm inclined to agree.

    Stupid brain.. stab it with a Q-tip.

  21. Re:Starcraft on Warcraft III Expansion · · Score: 0

    I tried Starcraft on SNES for the first time a few weeks ago.. suprisingly close to the PC game. Ran kinda slow once you got lots of units on the screen, but I have no idea what kinda CPU is in those things

    I had major problems with the controls.. Gimme a mouse and keyboard, dammit.

  22. Re:Why si this review news? on Forty-two Inch Plasma Monitor · · Score: 2

    Amen to that; around but not in your face.

    Some sales guys are quite annoying.. When I'm in a foul mood once in a long while, I like to play computer-dumb and mess with them. I was in Futureshop, quite a few years ago, and had a rookie sales guy looking all over the place for a white ink cartridge because I told him I wanted to print on black paper. heh, that was fun..

  23. Oh no... on Disney to Create Walking Animatronic Dinosaur · · Score: 4, Funny
