With/. you at least have the excuse of "It's a news site, for nerds, about stuff that matters." Thin, but better than "I got it from an email from a former court clerk." I mean seriously.
I know you were being funny (and should get at least one +1 funny mod), I'm just really angry about bureaucrats and elected officials wasting our money and time.
Perhaps for you, but I don't like settling for "good enough" when I can get "best". Especially if best is cheaper than "good enough" (wifi is still more expensive than Ethernet).
Wouldn't fiber be able to transfer both? I imagine they used visible light in the demonstration so people could see it transferring light. Last I checked, humans cannot see in IR or UV.
Let's set aside all rational thought for a moment and accept, just for the sake of argument, your ridiculous premise that homosexuality is a "behavioral decision".
Prove that it isn't. There is no science to prove that it's anything but a behavior decision.
Now, explain to me why a person should be fired from their job at a university for something they may (or may not) do in the privacy of their own home, with a consensual partner. Explain the rational basis for firing someone for something that is completely unrelated to their job performance in any way, shape, or form.
By your argument, everyone should hire people who don't conform to standards they set (moral or otherwise) despite espousing those standards for themselves.
To say one thing and then practice another is hypocritical.
If I run a business that is stands up as a leader in smoker-cessation programs and then hire smokers to work in it, what message does that send? If I did hire someone who was, unknowningly to myself, that was a smoker and that person knew the standards my company espoused, he was hired in under false pretenses. As I don't know what the universities standards are or the circumstances surrounding the employment of the people fired, I cannot speak to them.
You mean they might not be discouraged yet by the whole climategate scandal? If they haven't yet, I doubt this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Though it could stoke the fire of open research, solid peer review, and cause the desire for solid, factual research to go up.
Of course I could also get a Pink Unicorn for a pet, too.
touche. The point is, both AIM and ICQ are some of the oldest IM services still going. Too bad the Russians got a hold of ICQ. I actually dreamed of one day buying ICQ away from AOL. Back to dreaming, I guess.
I have another one, but it's higher up than even your current one IIRC (I don't remember the number, but I have the account set up on my other computer).

Range from Wifi router = 150ft indoors, 300ft outdoors
Range from wired router = 500 meters (1,640 ft, 10base5 coax) or 185 meters (607 ft, 10base2 coax).

That somehow makes it okay? He should be working, not goofing off with email.
not really. Seems that Lightfleet Corporation could partner with Intel on the way to fully optical computers.
I almost always get it on the first try, most of the time without looking.
wifi also suffers from greater range limitation than wired. Also, wifi experiences greater packet loss then wired.

those silly Brits. They call a flashlight a torch.
1/3 of my life. ;)
/. scooped the source? O.o
Yes, they responded after I made this comment.
And the evidence they provided says there is no 100% proof that it's pure genetics.
If they have, I'm going to have to remove connections to a lot of apps.

Prove it isn't. There is no scientific evidence to support that homosexuality is anything but a behavioral choice.
It's news for nerds?

Why should behavioral decisions become protected with special legislation?
Mod parent up, someone?

That's a little far back. My favorite was from 96 or 97. (:
ah, sorry.
I know a few people who still use it. I'm trying to convince them otherwise.
