R/C gliders are definitely a geek sport. And with the new EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) gliders, you can get started without all the nasty balsa stuff. And, your first "landing" won't send you back to the shop for weeks.
And then there is Dynamic Soaring, where you can reach ungodly speeds (100 mph is routine). And don't forget slope combat, for you Quake playing folks... intentional mid-air collisions: yee haw!
"The Stratum 100 and Stratum 20 are point-to-point transparent MAC layer bridges which provide full duplex 100bT connections over links up to seven miles (11.2 km)."
... and...
"The Stratum MP is a multipoint learning bridge which provides half duplex 10bT connections to multiple facilities over links up to 12 miles under FCC rules, and over 5 km under ETSI rules."
I used to do some contract work for WaveSpan, the guys who developed these and got bought by Proxim.
Actually, Exodus does not host ebay.com 100% anymore. ebay's machines might be still at Exodus' site, but ebay gets its bandwidth from Above.net, and will eventually move its machines over to their site.
For our company, we investigated both Exodus and Above.net, and found Above.net's connectivity was much better (more peering arrangements).
Do a traceroute to www.ebay.com for confirmation...
If you liked the writing of B5, check out JMS' newest effort, a comic book put out by TopCow called Rising Stars.
I'm not really into comics, but liked B5 so much I gave it a try... very cool. If you liked the storylines about the Psi Corp, and how they get along with "normals", you'll see a lot of parallels in Rising Stars.
"A fine demonstration that Perl is for real people trying to use a computer as a means to an end, and C is for people with too much time on their hands."
Actually, it makes great business sense for VA Linux to let the E guys have all the creative control. Let them add features and all kinds of cool effects that require more and more processor cycles... thus selling more computers.

And here's how you display stuff in the title bar in tcsh:
switch ($TERM)
case "xterm*":
set prompt="%{\033]0;%n@%m:%~\007%}[%n %~]> "
breaksw
default:
set prompt="[%n %~]> "
breaksw
endsw

$d = join("", <>);
Grab every line off of STDIN (<>), and join them together with nothing ("") in between, and put the resultant string into the var $d.
@b = split(/\s/, $d);
Split the $d string up into an array @b, splitting on any sort of whitespace (that's what \s is).
foreach (@b)
{
print pack("B8", $_);
}
For every element ($_) in the array @b, treat it as a binary string of length 8 (B8), turn it into ASCII, and print it.

Yeah, but your perl is too long... :)
perl -e 'print map { pack("B8", $_) } split(/\s+/, join(" ", <>>));'
But I digress...

Yeah, it's that Wintel thing all over again...
