i'm rather suprised that verizon has done this, and i give them the thumbs up.
i've had issues with them, and my cellular phone service, and clients using their broadband solutions. verizon has (IMO) a reputation of being cheap, and stupid, and now since they've opened this up, i think they're turning over a new leaf. thanks guys.
yes, well, for those of us in the college world, we don't need to pay for a dsl line or even a telephone line. we get network connections for free, making VOIP a HELLOVA Lot better of a deal.
I thought that OSTG would never get caught up in a Soap Opera... I guess that day has come.
OH LINUS! LEAVE TROID FOR ME! I'LL MAKE SWEET LOVE TO YOU IN ACAPULCO! MWAH!
blech.
this whole bitkeeper debacle stinks to high heaven.
what are they going to do? clone a whole bunch of rapists and murderers so that the governator doesn't feel bad about touching some lady's boobie?
i dunno why they need the dna.
it's pointless. *sigh* stupid governor. i hate this state sometimes.
My station is going to convert to Ibiquity's HD radio system... i don't like it but i'm just an intern. i have no control over anything.
if the fcc approves this aspect of HD-Radio, hd radio will however allow for more "streams" which means you can listen to (among other things) your NPR stations "all news all the time" stream, using a FM or AM subcarrier.

booble.com installed a bedroom cam in the Gates' Master Bedroom.
Neilson's Netratings Shoot Up instantly as SuperBowl Ratings take a dump. No word yet on how many of booble's hits are generated by Teenager Mike Rowe, who settled with MS for an Xbox to give up his domain name "MikeRoweSoft.com".
windows is a bit easier to manage when you have problems (because there are so many problems with it, most people who would build one are probably very experienced in fixing problems with windows)
also, linux has always had major issues with drivers. always has, and always will.
wifi is way too unreliable. if i were you i would not tap into that. it's a waste of time and money.
get a wired, used headset system from ClearCom.
tried and true method and used almost everywhere.
i'm afraid the bush administration will make up some bs claim that since there's water there, there must be oil, and then will give NASA the money the schools should have, and he'll send up Dick Cheney and the EXXON Execs. To explore for oil up there.
this is not good.
as a radio geek, and all around computer geek, i know this, because i've heard it on the air, during on air testing. The problem isn't the bitrate, but it's the adjacent frequency problem. It hoses other station's signals. That AND 112 makes it crap IMO. check Ibiquity's site to hear clips, i haven't been there but i'm willing to bet they've got some "comparison" thing.
Another thing,
If this continues, the Hobby of DXing will be gone forever.
Ibiquity's IBOC system Sucks. Plain and simple. Am quality sounds like a 56k rated mp3. The side frequencies are hosed for advertising, and FM is no better, the side frequencies, are again hosed, and the sound quality is NOT CD, it's not even 128k!!! It's like 112! Seriously, the fcc is smoking the reefer. They cannot let this happen to radio.

wow. 100M. thats A LOT of money. i know i'm stating the obvious but nobody in their right mind should have that much pocket change

uh dude, heresy is an understatement.

WEEBO!!

are we suprised? no! most of those voting machines use M$ Acce$$ databases. and we all know how $hitty and insecure those pieces of shit are.
Actually it's less than 128... it's 112.

Very Interesting Shiz.
scuse me, if you're running WINDOWS, you deserve the viruses, let alone any microsoft product. you should know better.
IMO if you're running microsoft, you deserve the viruses.
what's there to say? the book's going to be a flop because everyone knows that SMB/CIFS blows.
That's why there's AFP.
i didn't know the penguin had hair loss... better call avacor. ohhhhhh HARE! not H-A-I-R. duh... nevermind.
if DARPA ends up using Microsoft, we're all gonna die. What Are We Geeks To Do???

heh. amen brotha.
one thing though, i wouldn't mind the supply runs, as long as they were just pretzels.
