  2. For what it's worth, I liked the service a lot on Boeing Connexion, No More Wi-Fi at 30,000 ft? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It wasn't terribly fast, but once I read that it'd be available, I charged up a few extra batteries for my flight from Chicago to Copenhagen (SAS Airlines).

    Also keep in mind that most airlines have power outlets in their higher-class seats. Some even have them in every seat. Check out http://www.seatguru.com/ to see the ammenities in various airlines' planes.

    I even used a softphone (Cisco IP Communicator) and made a phone call from the flight! Sure, there was about a second of lag, but people around me were pretty amazed (even an SAS pilot sitting next to me - he had never seen such a thing..).

    I paid the $30 for 8 hours of service and would gladly do it again.

    ...Four cents is my magic price point.

    Bummer for me.

  6. Re:Handling Firefox on Cisco IT Manager Targeting 70% Linux · · Score: 1

    Actually, they (CISCO) does NOT currently have Mozilla/Firefox on the standard WindowsXP image.

    Don't ask how I know ;)

  7. They aren't getting their greedy hands... on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 2, Interesting

  9. I'm so high on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what's going on right now

  10. Yes on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    At my employer, the option of expensing cell phones & broadband is up to each manager's discretion. In my department, if you are willing to put your cell phone into the corporate directory, they will pay for the service (within reason, of course). I telecommute on Fridays and therefore my manager allows me to expense my broadband. I also have a router providing hardware VPN and an IP phone at home.

  11. Love 'em. on How Much Do You Pay to Host Your Website? · · Score: 1

    Other than a 10-15 minute hold time, their customer service reps were always polite knowledgeable geeks that helped me immediately.

    My 1.1 SDSL has been rock solid for over a year now.

  15. .PDF on Bastard Operator from Hell II (Son of the Bastard) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Think how much more money the company could make if they sold a .PDF of the book for $9.99?

  16. XM Satellite radio (Also, anyone here w/ LCD?) on Merry Christmas · · Score: 1

    ...Which I plan on taking back to Fry's. It's a neat toy, but not yet practical- I rarely drive out of my metropolitan area. I fly or ride my motorcycle. No need to listen to a radio station cross-country.

    I drive a fairly nice car and I don't want to hack it up to wire this thing in.. besides, the receiver looks really ugly stuck to your dash. I already keep my Garmin GPS V on my dash...

    I think I'll trade up to an Envision 17" LCD. Does anyone have one of these? The reviews look good, I'm just wondering if any of you have real-world experience. My 17" Trinitron has been in use for at least 4 years and I've never really desired anything bigger...
