Taking a peek at the red line diagram that shows where the shuttle cannot fly on lift off, am I the only one noticing the big fark-you to Newfoundland?
Sure, once 802.11n gives me better than 10-20Mbps between two systems seperated by a wall with the thickness and density of two sheets of gyproc/plasterboard I'll consider using it again. I mean jebus, sometimes it would drop to 5Mb transfer and I'm using high gain antennas on both the client and the router. The antennas were a mere 2' apart!
IMHO wireless is fine for sharing a broadband connection but useless for anything else.
Being an amateur myself (and have been so for 15+ years) I can picture the screams of horror from all of the 60+ year old operators out there. I'm in my 30s myself, and the code requirement for using the HF bands always seemed rather quaint to me. But honestly, it's probably a last ditch attempt to get more people using the amateur bands. The stereotype of the 65 year old retired operator in a motorised chair isn't too far from the truth. I forsee the day that usage is low enough that governments can justify clawing back more of the spectrum.
Shrug. I've always lumped Mythbusters in with American Chopper and the like. It's a 5 minute idea fleshed out to fill 44 minutes of content for serving advertising. It does appeal to the "Blow shit up" side of me, but I continually find myself bored because they have to stretch things out far too much.
Plus the obviousness of a lot of the "Myths". No a toilet won't explode, even if we dump naptha in it.
Yes, the company I work for does have a large PKI implimentation. Unfortunately, I work for a charter Bank in Canada, so I can't tell you anything about it, else the security people will swoop down and kill me.
The Bank certainly should have caught this. This is why fraud departments were invented. As a heartless banker myself, I'm quite suprised that the transfer was let through.
Over the past year I've been migrating my archived data from CDRs to DVD-Rs. I copied several hundred CDRs back to a hard drive and the re-burned them. It was an education in which brands were good.
Everything yuo hear about Kodak gold CDRs is true. They're the best I've come across. Unbranded silver ones are crap. Princo, crap. RCA, crap-ish. "Gigastorage" brand cheapos stood up suprisingly well.
SERIES finale??!! WTF?! It was just getting REALLY GOOD!!!
Dude, seriously. Relax. In the UK what we would refer to as a season is called a series there. Hence I'm watching the 2005 series of Time Team right now, an forward to the 2006 series after the finale.

Well of course Discovery is going to retire in 2010. It'll be destroyed when Jupiter is imploded by the Monolith.
ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE.
You're mixing a Doctor Who cliche with a Star Trek one. Clearly this is dangerous, like bringing matter and antimatter together.
I'm a real flim buff
Flim Springfield!
Read all about WANK, looks like it came from Australia.

Are we sure that that Forbes.com staff writer whos trying to be a presenter isn't the doll? Good god she's wooden.
Plus of course, 800 commercials. Whee. Useless waste of bandwidth!
Hand in your union card. You are so fired from being a Futurama fan.
Power corrupts absolutely. Absolute power is actually pretty neat!
Where's a future Russian like myself going to find "Nuclear Wessels" otherwise?
In Alameida, silly.
I'll take your geek card now please. His name is Peter Davison!

I tend to stick with Memorex now myself though.

Yes, nothing quite like a nice Box Lunch.
When asked for comment, Dr. Gregory House muttered something sarcastic and hobbled away.
Somewhere Tom Lehrer is smiling right now. As am I. :)
...If this goes on...
Excuse me citizen. Nehemiah Scudder wants to have a word with you.
I dunno. How is that war on Drugs, and the war on terrah going for you guys? :)
Mostly because us superiorly connected Canadians already had our Turkey Coma. :)
The heads of most organizations like that usually *are* lawyers.
Substituting Beer for water.
It didn't go very well.
