I'm not sure which model we're using, but I had my boss setup DirecWay satellite at his night club, as it was the only broadband option available. The service goes down several hours every night, but we never lose our link. Since the actual ISP is earthlink, you can expect at least a 30 minute hold time for technical support, although that may be a little optomistic. If you can get something else, I would recommend it, unless your rig works out drastically different from ours.
The memory effect present in Ni-Cd batteries is caused by crystals of Cadmium forming on either the anode or cathode (I don't remember which). The memory effect is not supposed to happen in NiMH batteries as there is no Cadmium in them. The high capacity NiMH batteries I have tell me to keep them topped off as much as possible to prolong their useful life.
Li-Ion batteries do not have a memory effect that I know of, so there shouldn't be a problem topping them off, but I haven't heard if this is good or bad for them. I do know if they are drained too far that they can actually switch polarity. As such all Li-Ion cells have an integrated control which cuts them off before they can drain too far.
g is not compatible with the 802.11a spec. They don't even use the same frequencies. There is dual spec hardware, but there is no compatability between a and g themselves.
I should add some additional clarification. This site will be of use if you have access to any version of windows from 95 on. There may be pure images available as well, so you don't need a windows machine to extract them to disk. Check it out.
Even if a lot of people have 802.11a/g cards, you'd probably be best served with 802.11b equipment. It's compatible with the most systems, and serving up broadband to multiple users, you'll probably still have a hard time saturating it to a noticible degree in a coffee shop setting. Just my $0.02
I know you can find pre-drilled rack rails at any large guitar store. For that matter, if you shop around you may be able to find a cheap preassembled rack enclosure.
I was riding in the innermost lane and this woman pulled across the main street I was on, from a side street. She was cited for failure to yeild right of way.
When I had my motorcycle accident last week (last friday) I heard both Donorcycle and Murdercycle used by the ER staff.
Only teenagers and lucky macho-idiots ride donorcycles
As for people trashing the idea of riding a bike, while you have the possibility of getting in an accident because another driver is not paying attention (or in my case was too old to be on the road) if you drive within the law, stay off the damn sport bikes that have no business anywhere but a track, pay attention to what you're doing, and wear a helmet, you can ride with relative safety.
I'm 21, drove nothing but motorcycles since I've been able to have a permit @ 15.5 years, and loved getting between 60 and 70 Mpg. Believe me, you don't ride a 250 nighthawk to try to look cool or race people, and if that's why you ride a motorcycle, you might as well give up your keys.
For those interested, this was my first accident. I t-boned a chrysler at 40mph, with no helmet on. I was lucky and limped out of the ER 2 hours later with only some staples in my knee and an interesting circular wound to my abdomen from my handlebars. My head didn't touch anything until I came to a rest on the side of the road after getting bounced off her windshield. Had my head impacted anything a helmet would have been more than adaquate to prevent damage.
There are resorts in the pacific that use microwave dishes to distribute power across their property. I forget the reason they couldn't put the lines underground, but with that limitation they decided to use the dishes. They can be hidden from view, and they're much more tolerant of storm damage if mounted right.
I was using the speech recognition features of Mac OS 8 and 9 on a 160Mhz Performa with 96MB of RAM. You don't exactly need a GHz machine to take in system control commands.
I feel the same way, that's why I run FightAIDS@Home on my computers. The research institute is non-profit, and there findings are for the common good. Check it out.

Charles: "Hey, Fuck You."
Gabe: "Yeah, So I Was Looking At iPods Today, I thought Of You."
Charles: (Pulls Out iPod) "Oh Yeah? Pretty Neat Huh?"
Gabe: "Oh Yeah, Real Good. Then I Got Up To The Register, Came To My Fucking Senses, And Bought A $30 Discman Instead."
Charles: "Yeah, But The iPod Doesn't Skip."
Gabe: "Neither Does This. It's Cushioned By About $380 In Cash."

The scariest part is that the parent poster was modded informative rather than funny.

While I do agree with you, I must ask...

Yeah, she was a little pissed off...

You owe me a new monitor to replace the one I just fried with coffee...
Just be glad I wasn't using my laptop.
I'd Like to recommend a new server...
Having your web browser load Citibank's home page, and then swiping the info via a rogue pop-up is the sneakiest tactic I've seen.
Even the link in the email appears to be from Citibank upon first glance.
A exceptionally clever and well-crafted scam.

I've read that you can fool many spam bots by using Char codes.

This is most likely of little use when submitting your address in a form, but for a web content it would seem ideal.
Of course knowing my luck, you're just planning to write a bigger/better spam bot, and decided to use
