I'll second the recomendation of Polycom phones. BTW, I believe the 650 has backlighting, we haven't got ours in yet though. We've also had good results with Hitatchi's WiFi handset, and Dlink's terminal adapter for serving fax machines.
Re-read the list. At least one incident was on land (the New York one), several don't mention any release of radiation, and the Japanese one specifically says the Japanese didn't detect any radiation.
Meshing is covered by another 802.11 spec, I forget which offhand. It's not a part of a/b/g/n.... For that matter, WDS isn't really a mesh technology either, or at best a really crude version. It's biggest problem is that all the APs and client stations are on the same channel, so you can't really make a large "mesh".

If the process prevents the subject from aging, wouldn't cancers be unable to grow also?

Basically, yes. Remember that as the caller, you're the one causing an interruption. Now maybe you're a good friend of the person you're calling, and the interruption will be more than welcome, but that's for the person you're calling to decide. Otherwise, you're telling them that your time is more important than theirs, and they should jump when you tell them to.
The main advantage to Parallels for me (I've been trying it since it initial release, btw) is the simple fact that I don't have to reboot to run Windows. Bootcamp doesn't cut it, if I need to exit my computing environment just to work on a Visio document or some other Windows app. I don't want to lose access to the rest of my online world in those cases.
Sure, you can get fiber cards. My point was that few if any computers ship with them as a standard item, while just about everything ships with 1000baseTX. So there is little point in pulling fiber any time soon.
Every see a computer ship with a fiber ethernet interface? Yeah, I haven't either. And yeah, not a whole lot of fiber gear in the local stores either. So, no point in running fiber around the house.

Just because it called MythTV doesn't mean you have access to mythical hardware....

One could say that about any luxury item. Again, we're not talking about anything life-critical, or even needed to have a comfortable life, but a pure luxury. Let economics deal....
The real problem with this is the (deliberate?) misinterpretation of the this. While I wouldn't argue for file-sharing of copyrighted materials, such debates need to be done with real issues, not stuff pulled from dark orifices....
It takes virtulation, like the parent post said. It would be a pain to have to reboot to Windows to run one or two apps, especially as I won't have access to all my other apps and data while running windows. With virtual machines, I can run an app I need off in it's sandbox and still get my regular work done too.
While not 100Gig, HDTV recordings can easily run 20-30Gig for long shows (I think my recording of the Olympic opening ceremonies was 21Gig for 3.5 hours).

Ah, but the airwaves ARE public property, licenced by the government. So yes, jamming those airwaves is wrong.
Maybe when the pet project doesn't have the rights to do what it's doing?
Well, because DSL doesn't use phone lines. Oh, sure, it uses the same wiring, but it's not a phone connection like an analog modem uses.

I had a watch about 4 years ago that would set itself via WWV.

> Wired is only about twice as much bandwith as similar generation wireless. However wireless generally has between 10 and 100 times higher latency.
Huh? GigE has about 20 times the bandwidth of 802.11a/g (using the max spec on both), and 10 times the latency would be a real worst case.

Were any of those lawsuits in the US?

How is this any different than developing for Macs in the past?

The 5th doesn't allow for destruction of evidence.
Last time the broadcast flag was floated around, hardware sold before the date was grandfathered.
While not 100Gig, HDTV recordings can easily run 20-30Gig for long shows (I think my recording of the Olympic opening ceremonies was 21Gig for 3.5 hours).
Unless the same request is coming from multiple governments, and Google says yes to one and no to another, no, nothing interesting.
I use the Cardbus slot on my Powerbook for an EVDO card (Kyocera KPC650). Now looking for alternatives......
Both the iMac and MacBook have video out ports and can drive external displays in mirrored or dual display modes.
Given that you can get LCD TVs in the 32" range for less than my 27" SD set was 10 years ago, I'd say we're already there.
