Driving in and of itself is nice. Toss in traffic, other drivers, and the like, and it is a pain. If public transit went where I needed to go, I would drive far less.
I remember the Hackensack CO getting flooded. It was due to the 5ESS being in the basement...Covad DSL was up though, since the DSLAMs were on the 3rd floor.
Damn look what Galacticomm morphed into. I remember back in the day when it was the shit if you sported MBBS. They even had a demo BBS in fort lauderdale you could dial in or telnet to if you feigned interest in the product. I had interest, just not the $$$:)
Oh well, more people can lurch in on the.edu domain. Maybe some colleges should switch to.com, then. Makes sense, we're giving them money for a service they provide...
Being a geek, although a geek involved in the nightlife scene, I can say that I'm not monogamous. I tend to mess around a lot and not form stable relationships. I always let the girl know though, if I'm not going to be dedicated exclusively to her. My life's too unstable for a true blue relationship right now:)
Surf the net for porn, so you know what real women should look like.
Down here (miami), a goodly number of women do look like porn sluts...so this has some application to reality.
Ga Tech as 15000 students which means around "potentially" many users on the wireless net.
Again, there's 15,000 or more students at a lot of universities that have this, mine included...why is this news?
I don't want to bother to look at the possibly big list below this comment of schools that do have this already, but you have a point. Even my University (Univ. of Miami) has implemented this, and we only got plain old wired Ethernet in the dorms 3 years ago! What's so bloody special that Georgia Tech does it. Well maybe it's special that it took a Tech. school so long to do it while Wake Forest, and a bleedin' educational corporation (University of Miami, Inc. a subsidiary of Dell, Microsoft, and Coca Cola) in the Miami Republic beat them out. Really though! Maybe the next article in the educational domain can be when they finally switch the lab i manage from copper to fibre like the others!
High schools shouldn't get.edu...again, really just to prevent conflicts. My POS school system had gfsd.org (not going to gratify them with a link) and others have.us...it's fine that way. Leave the.edus for the universities as they were intended to be.
Also, a school can register multiple variations of it's name. My university has miami.edu, and umiami.edu.
I do part time work for a sound company and we have a minidisc deck with S/PDIF out on it....though MDs do suck for pro applications, we got it cheap (100 bucks) on digibid, any serious live recording is done to DAT or DA-38 if you can afford it. Don't cheapen your band with minidiscs..."if bad sound could kill.."
Flat rate dialup is cheap (20 a month), with DSL/Cable being between 30 and 90 a month...are computer users that poor that they can't cough up a twenty for the access? US/Canada only of course...I can understand metered access in say Europe or Asia...with the gov't telcos and all..but for US users, I really don't understand why this is a big deal...
DSL downtime has been almost nil for my parents' place in Northern NJ. The line has been in place for a year, and was down for only 10 hours during the TS Floyd in September 1999. Funny thing was, the phone service was knocked out for days, but the DSL trucked on. It is a Covad provided line of T1 equivalent speed. Word has it that Covad's DSLAMs were on a higher floor, and BA's DSLAMs and 5Es were in the basement, so when the floods came..zap!
I'd honestly like to know what moron would put public infrastructure equipment like that in the basement.
I have to respond to this. I hear this kind of shit all the time. 'Nobody listens to..(insert artist here..i.e. Talla, Taucher, Dave Ralph..)' bullshit. This AC probably thinks he's the king shit listening to his Creed, Live, Collective Soul, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, etc...(no talent copycats...) A lot of people feel this way, and I think it's our duty as freethinking individuals to correct it. Not to shove our tastes down their throats, but just make them aware that no exposure = bad is not a valid statement. (Not sure of the ASCII for 'not equals')
Same here. I can only check The Dance Music Resource Pages at home..If the fees to set up one of these digital radio stations isn't too steep, it'd be really cool to hear some shoutcast type programming on it..off the cuff, fuck Zeta (Miami alternative rock bullshit..i thought south florida was 'anti-alternative'), fuck KROCK (xcept for stern), etc... I'm not too thrilled about the fee, but it's not too bad I guess. Content preview is a must before I shell out the bucks for a receiver though.
I know most of the world is stuck on dialup. The ITU and everyone else should be concentrating on getting rid of that situation, nevermind trying to eke out every last bit from an outdated technology.

Move to Miami.
South Beach closing = 5 AM.
Downtown Closing = No such thing. Club Space stays open until 2 in the afternoon on Sundays sometimes.

Sorry, I doubt it. Mach 2 at best for that POS.

The first drive out the gate is USB. Perchance improvements to the mechanism have been made...
Kim Stanley Robinson would be proud of this debate. Reds versus Greens in a nascent form.
PCS is just a catchall for TDMA/CDMA/GSM...
GSM is in Chicago though.

Don't forget Barco. :).

The DLP R12 kicks ass...12,000 lumens

The loophole is you have to announce that it is a 'paid broadcast'...Limp Bizkit did it back when they were clamoring for sales...hehe they suck.
Hoverbikes are awesome.
Though I would like to see the mallrats off the road.
Honestly though, we'll just have to deal with the w4r3z kiddies...not much we can do.

Aggh! College Music! Make it stop! Though the conversations would make me stop and listen though.
