People are more prone to getting the point when sending text messages compared to VM. When they call and leave a message they likely will blather on about whatever including all of the protocol about grammar and pre/post etiqutte about introductions and sign-off type info. With a text message its usually right to the point without a bunch of extra fluff.
So in comparison to the other posters identification of the VM operator being slow, the actualy meat of the message from the callers are going to be much slower too. If you want to talk then call. If want me to get your message right away and I don't answer then text. If you have more than a few sentences then send an email. If you want to get left in my VM inbox for possibly days, then leave a message.
So maybe not full gigabit but there are wireless products that support higher bandwidth links at higher than 802.11 frequencies. For example check out Dragon Wave products. With directional antennas and line of sight you can go for miles and get decent bandwidth.
I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.
I started with Mandrake 7.2 on my compaq laptop. After many problems and trying Mandrake 8.0 I eventually gave up and installed Gentoo. I got it installed on my desktop at home too and ran it there for, well up until I upgraded to a new system so it was for like 6 years or so. Finally I had a system that could play UT2004 and NWN. A couple of years ago my brother and I built a 64-bit system with Gentoo and put it in a colo facility and it has been running ever since.
At work we principally use SLES and OpenSUSE but my l337 linux si11z learned from Gentoo remain with me. Of course I have been an OpenBSD fan and user since 1999 when I had to get a corporate VPN setup on a zero dollar budget at a previous job. Scraped some old workstation parts together with two NICs and voila had our firewall and VPN back to HQ. Then with our Gentoo web server at the office (co-worker was also a Gentoo fan) we wrote an apache/python web services app. Lots of memories there.
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE! And seriously, if you can be risen from the grave surely you make me better then a weasly wimp that takes 2 hits to knock a wobbly zombie head off before I get my POWER UP water bubbles.
I had a nearly identical experience. I quit cold-turkey one day back in 2001 and started drinking tons of water every day. I used to get severe headaches and the likes but with drinking tons of water throughout the day I did not get much of a headache at all and after a day or two I was fine. And as you say, I was no longer tired in the mornings and felt much better and energetic. Now when I have the occasional caffeinated beverage (soda, coffee is gross) the caffeine high is way more impressive and I dont really crash either as I keep drinking my water. I just keep on going.
When I was a teenager I used to drink huge quantities of mt dew, especially in the summer as I had a friend who worked at a gas station so we'd consume ultra large volumes of the lowest grade soda you can get, fountain pop, and got it for free. So glad I am past that part of my life.
Ok, I will be the first! Gosh what a $negative_adjective editor $editor is. How could we possible expect to survive with such a $negative_adjective at the helm of $this_site? How in the world can we expect to go on living? I can't take the nonsense anymore. $0 = $suicide.
Seriously, who is this taco guy and why does he think he can post a story like this? Bunch of lame-asses
1. This article, while sounding like it has some potentially important or at least interesting impacts on our global understanding of particles, is not really written anywhere near the layman's level of comprehension, which includes myself. I am not familiar with any of the acronyms or anything deeper then a light familiarity with the terms/names of the science involved. This article would have a similar information giving result if all it said was "Some genius particle lab scientists found some new particles no one ever thought of before. If you're a particle physicist click on the link and we'll tell you all about it. If not, move along home."
2. Most everyone here, based on reading the comments, has a similar level of comprehension as I do with regards to this article, the discovery, and it's potential significance. Mostly everyone seems to be just making jokes about this or that like the particle names, people's incorrect reading of the words in the article or comments (unauthorized, hardon, etc), or other references to scifi and modern day culture.
This story *sounds* interesting to me as it appeals to my sense of exploration and curiosity to learn new things but beyond that this stuff basically reads like sub-atomic particle physics to me. (lame joke, sorry)
You should never talk to the police, their only interest is incriminating you in a crime, not the other way around.
obligatory quote
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws.
When you get a significant percentage of computers like, say, 30% of 90% of the Desktop OS market (or whatever M$'s current stranglehold is worth), that's something to be proud of.
Man, it's too bad Redmond has a 90% infection rate of all Desktop OS workstations (or whatever MS's current stranglehold is worth).
London gets a blizzard? Sorry. I've been in London for a week now and coming from Minnesota I find it very hard to relate to all of the sentiment by everyone about "oh no, there are some flakes and falling and now no one can drive". It boggles the mind I tell you. A friend of mine here in London (who is from Singapore originally) said he did not have anything to scrape the snow off his car so he had to pull out a broom dust pan. I told him to just use his hand, it's only snow after all not poison. Also stop bitching about the COLD... it's BARELY below freezing so I was able to go with just an insulated flannel shirt whereas everyone else is walking around with several layers and what not.
Oh yeah... renewable energy is a myth so please just vote for clean coal everyone because it must be clean right? I mean it has "clean" right in the name of the energy source so how can you refute its cleanliness, you fickle commies!
Now I don't know if I am supposed to hate Microsoft still. Where are we on the hate-o-meter for MS? Surely this drops the needle down from Blazing Fury of a Million Suns to maybe Mildly Atrocious or American Idol or something. This is so hard to figure out.
Oh wait does "BSD is dyin" come into play here or not?
The goal is laudable but strategically speaking: do we really want to focus more OSS efforts to replicate MS protocols and methods?
Perhaps I missed it but I did not see your name on the developers list for OpenChange? How is it you think "we" includes yourself. One of the beautiful things about FOSS is that anyone person or group of people can get together on work on things that THEY want to do or find investors to pay them to do. You speak as if all of the FOSS developers in the entire world get together to discuss and plan out new projects to tackle and this is turned out to be one of them that you are personally now second guessing due to it being based on replicating functionality of a MS product, which apparently is all the reason to not do it. As if anything MS comes up with is horrible just because it is from MS.
The best way to avoid interference is to not use wifi at all. You can get wifi around the place if you use a ethernet-over-power adapters. This nice things basically allow you to plug in an ethernet cable into your outlet at the end by your router/switch/firewall/whatever then at another outlet by where you will be plug in your laptop. This gives you similar freedom of movement as wifi with the trade-offs being no wifi interference for goood throughput at the expense some reduced mobility.
If there is no way to keep all involved APs completely isolated, you want to consider who is using the most frequent bandwidth and how many clients are talking to each AP. There is only so much RF capacity and try to the avoid the more populated channels if possible. If your AP and client(s) can see the other APs and their respective clients that will be the best so everyone can talk in harmony otherwise if your AP can see you and other clients but your client cannot see the others then they are likely to step on each other without even knowing it.
Another thing you can do that will potentially make it a little more cumbersome to use depending on how you are actually using your wifi is to get directional atennas instead of omni antennas at the AP and your client. This will help to extremely reduce the amount of the interference you and your AP will see as you can only "see" the interference if it is coming from the direction your antenna is directed vs thru the walls to the side or what have you. This obviously does not allow you to as easily just roam around your place.
If you can get your APs and client(s) with more powerful transmitters and antennas with higher gain you will also be better off.
Or you can coat your neighbor-facing walls with the anti-wifi paint

Hopefully Atlantis isn't this vehicle or else I might not be able to resist any longer the urge to knock these people off the road.

Duh, it is precisely .75 times as large as the 160 text message limit. QED.

Dont forget the ssh command. Oh wait, there is no real non BSD version of that tool. hahaha... openssh, putting insecure logins to rest since 1999
