There's a company based in Saskatoon, where I am, which manufactures wireless internet connectivity products that emulate cable. So, basically, you plug a cable modem into it, and as far as the modem is concerned it's connected to Coax all the way to the central office. Currently the units they sell cost about $400 CAD each... but they can sell a unit that does the same thing to people in India that costs only $50 CAD, because they can use the TV spectrum there.
An ISP can provide wireless internet in a radius of 20 miles with the technology... they can set up a whole ISP in a day in India for under $2000... can't do that in North America, of course.
Agreed. Run Cat5 Network cable and get 10/100 Base-T ethernet to all the rooms. The other thing I have noticed, is that a T1 will probably not be enough bandwidth.... unless you are very strict on monitoring usage of Kazaa and other file sharing applications.
I'm the network admin of a 50 room residence at the University of Saskatchewan, and we're currently running the whole building off a 640kbit up/ 3Mbit down DSL line. It works quite well... as long as no one uploads excessively. Given that a T1 has less bandwidth, especially on the downstream, you might want to look into a slightly beefier connection, or the pings might shoot up rather hihg.
Actually, this is not Windows XP, it is Office XP

Windows XP is Listening

I have seen this happen on Windows 98 and Windows 2000 when Office XP was installed. So it is not windows, just office.
Apparently, NASA is working on setting up cleaning efforts, and all the space agencies have agreed not to drop garbage off in space anymore. NASA is working on making their hulls more micro-meteorite proof due to all the floating garbage. To test new hull designs, they have the four most powerful guns in the world, which shoot pea sized bullets at various types of hull designs, at 15 000 m/s. That's in the latest issue of discover.
A few times, when telephone salespeople called, my dad said he would do the same thing. Most people would just say, okay, sorry to bother you, and hang up. But a guy from MBNA said he agreed to pay my dad for his time, and my dad wound up getting a credit card from it:)
I remember reading that current generation motherboards (pre KT266A, anyway) do not support the Palomino core's internal thermister, and therefore that would cause the temperature monitoring hardware not to kick in and underclock the processor.
