One thing I've learned from reading/. for years is that one must always read the posted article. Unfortunately I don't live on the computer, so by the time this topic came to me I am no longer able to RTFA. I will read the original text if it is posted someplace. (By the way, congrats on the kid!)
We use data models for all sorts of shit, for example, 'proving' that the design of the aircraft you're flying in won't crash Please be clear on this: a computerised aircraft model doesn't prove a thing - it just gives designers a good idea. Building and flying the aircraft without crashing actually proves that it won't crash under the conditions the aircraft was flown. Models are just convenient reconstructions of what we have observed, and only include what someone has actually seen and measured. Anything that wasn't programmed into the model isn't included in the model.
We still haven't figured out all the variables that effect our atmosphere, so none of the models are complete.

I read this to mean, taken literally, that if you purchase the comcast service you are not allowed to connect to the internet - as any connection to a system not owned by Comcast would make you an end-point for someone else's Wide Area Network.
Can this be enforced in any way?
It would have helped if someone had had some "glue" to hold the event together for the entire four days it was supposed to happen. By the time I made it down on Saturday, there was nothing left. By the time this event made it to/. all the vendors had gone home.
I purchased the DVD Anywhere a couple of months ago and yes, the microwave oven causes problems if it is near the receiver (like they are on oposite sides of a wall)
