I agree it is a proper word to be used. But the connotations that word carries with it usually make people think of some hill in Kentucky and a guy named Cooter uttering it while on his porch whittlin or something.

Warchalking gets it's name from wardialing...where users would dial numbers until they found a computer that answered (see War Games).
Warchalking is like walking around with a wireless devices, finding a signal, and marking that fact. Usually that is not done by the people running the network.
"Ekahau reckons there is a market for networks used primarily for location-based purposes as opposed to carrying other data. "
Can't remember the last time I saw the word, "reckons" in a major publication. I reckon it was some time ago.
My favorite quote from the article

Itanium Problems

· Score: 5, Funny
"Every big computing disaster has come from taking too many ideas and putting them in one place, and the Itanium is exactly that," said Gordon Bell, a veteran computer designer and a Microsoft researcher."
He should follow that up by saying, "Here at Microsoft we have proved this time and time again."
eh, not really possible...that's now how the flow works at all, you can't just use any old text editor to create a newspaper. I don't know of any professional (or non professional) publication software that exists for linux..of course I haven't looked.
did you check the link I posted last time? Good spam filtering software that is free. Actually spamassasin is the filtering software....
More legislation isn't the answer, I'm sorry if you are sick of it, but that isn't going to solve anything. There is already too much legislation in the US, and the only people it serves are the lawyers.
I don't think it is a God-given or constitutionally protected right or some such other crap. I think that this is a LONG way down on the list of stuff to do. Lets spend more time enforcing the laws we do have rather than making the system even more screwed up.
expensive filtering software? Mimedefang download I don't like spammers, and don't agree with the methods they use, but more legislation is NOT the answer.
huh, that black bar bothered me for about 5 minutes when they unvieled the "new TNN" (and had that week long 24 hours a day STNG...drooooool) but I haven't even noticed it since then.
I wasn't even aware that it bothered people, it's not like it is blinking all of the time or something...
I wonder how much money MS would have to spread around to combine the last/. story with this one? Everything controlled by MS and it being illegal to not use it.
nod...I gotta agree...I have two of these that form an L in my office. Under the L goes the switch, server, printer, scanner...works GREAT. I odn't have it on filing cabinets though...my father built them for me and he found a folding table leg kit (for like 15 bucks). I screwed some of those metal things that rappelers use for holding ropes on the bottom and they make AWESOME cable routers. Gives me tons of space and you can even drop some shelves on top for 'modularity'
ESTABLISH ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MEDICAL RECORDS USE AND RELEASE
Penalties for covered entities that misuse personal health information are provided in HIPAA.
Civil penalties. Health plans, providers and clearinghouses that violate these standards would be subject to civil liability. Civil money penalties are $100 per incident, up to $25,000 per person, per year, per standard.
While I don't think those penalties are stiff enough, they do exist.
This makes no mention of places like life insurance companies....the following paragraph is an important one...call your congressman!
THE NEED FOR FURTHER CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
HIPAA limits the application of our rule to the covered entities. It does not provide authority for the rule to reach many persons and businesses that work for covered entities or otherwise receive health information from them. So the rule cannot put in place appropriate restrictions on how such recipients of protected health information may use and re-disclose such information. There is no statutory authority for a private right of action for individuals to
enforce their privacy rights. We need Congressional action to fill these gaps in patient privacy protections.

I am sick of these stupid, scare tactic headlines.
"Doomsday, Tuesday" is the title of the ABCnews.com article...when in the second paragraph it states, "The good news is, experts say that's unlikely to happen again."

Oh get real, he couldn't list all of them...the first ones that popped into his mind were listed. What a zealot, trying to point out stuff that doesn't even exist!
This is a bunch of CRAP. I am not rich, not by any stretch, I just took a second job so I can afford the things I need for my daughter. Does that mean I am entitled to someone elses money? No. Many of these rich people have had to take out massive loans and spend year after year working/learning in order to make big bucks...and now *I* should take it away from them? I don't think so. And if they decide to save a large chunk of it and give it to thier children...I am supposed to complain about that? THAT is complete bullshit. If you want communism then leave the US..because that is what you are proposing.

Yeah, you obviously have never seen how a large scale paper is produced.

$500 dollar fine, and I'm sure some cruelty to animal charges.
I've gotta agree, The only thing I've ever seen that I liked of Ren/Stimpy was the log song.
Other than that I think it's a pretty stupid cartoon show, I'd much rather they brought back D&D

Sure you can probably bypass it...but that's also probably illegal under the DMCA.
Sad...
Lutheran School. Taught 6th grade. He made learning FUN, got me into computer science. He stands out as my best teacher.
Also, Dr. Lawrence Kugler from the University of Michigan, Flint campus. He teaches math, and does it VERY well.
Says he was drunk. Let's face it...it's much harder to lie (at least well) when you are drunk...and most people tend to curse a lot more.
C'mon Bob...pull into the expo...I wanna check this out.....
I wonder if they are gonna give the source out on CD when you buy the car?
Ah, I see. My ignorance proved yet again!
