Don't MOST VoIP services do pretty much the same thing, in this case allow you to get calls near dirt cheap no matter where you go, as long as the device is plugged into a Broadband connection.
Granted this is "WiFi" I doubt that it is overall that much of a improvement, seeing as you'd need to make your laptop WiFi on your trips, (or as this article says have WiFi in both locations you go. [And what about air travel then....]) if you planned to take this thing with you.
All in all it seems better to just get the phones that are cat5-ed to your laptop/BB connection.
Thank god no horrible spongebob references.

Did Greasel discover that diesel engines will run on cooking oil?
No. The first diesel engines (invented by Rudolf Diesel in the late 1800's) were actually designed to run on plant oils. Immediately after Rudolf's untimely demise, his colleagues (who were just then tapping the resources of petro-based fuel sources) swept his veggie ideas under the rug and actually converted his design to run on petro-based 'diesel' fuel (which they were nice enough to name after him).

First, AOL would only have legal authority in 6 states. (Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming)
Second, AOL would lose even more money in stocks, do you think people in other states wouldn't object to a monopoly?
Granted I used AOL but replace AOL with almost any company and it comes out to the same result. People would use their wallet to tell representatives and companies just how much they like this law.
then why are you doing a deathmatch.
If you are looking for power though, bigger is usually better. after all you wouldn't race a mini cooper against a T-bird, would you?
Scarry thing to me is, frying the motherboard via heat death with little breathing room... what happens if you accidently put something near the fan, the next thing you know you have a new paperweight.... which you'd have to replace the entire board and not the processor...
But some of the boards are cooled passivly... so that is less of a problem for those boards...
Or possibly firing in the dark?
Maybe even sitting high up in your father's oak tree polishing the gun with your bottle of nu-metal shine the all new gun polisher which also happens to coat the gun's camera in 3 inches of metal nu-ness as you shine and chant "I am the angel of death."
Ananova.com reported that 3.8 million DVD players were sold last year, double that of the previous 12 months. DVD sales reached 80 million last year, representing a 111 percent increase over 2001. Twenty million DVDs and 1.2 million DVD players were sold in December 2002 alone. The movie industry sold 1.6 billion tickets, taking in $9.3 billion in gross box office receipts in 2002, up 11 percent from the previous year, despite President and CEO of the MPAA Jack Valenti's recent statements that the future is bleak. Not since the 1950s have so many movie tickets been sold. Meanwhile, movie sharing on the Internet is at an all-time high. The movie business isn't suffering because of activity on the Internet. Quite the opposite -- the industry is making more money than ever! This is happening at a time when consumers are being offered more choices to view movies than ever before. This supports the view that people spend more money when they have more choices.
Makes a great point, as you give the public more options to choose from, you get more of the publics cash....
So when do you think Aliens will break the DeCSS code of the E.T. DVD then have George Lucas and the MPAA fial a lawsuit in intergalactic court for illegal copies......

"Interestingly, some of our most successful print/online hybrids have come about where we present the same material in different ways for the print and online contexts. For example, much of the content of our bestselling book Programming Perl (more than 600,000 copies in print) is available online as part of the standard Perl documentation. But the entire package--not to mention the convenience of a paper copy, and the aesthetic pleasure of the strongly branded packaging--is only available in print. Multiple ways to present the same information and the same product increase the overall size and richness of the market.
It reminded me of what Dickens used to do...
First he'd sell the book 3 chapters at a time, a set of three every month
Then he'd buy back all the chapters, Rebind them
Sell the books back to the people that he just bought the chapters from
Then he'd sell a "special edition" copy With a different coloured binder.
Made millions which was a wonderful way to "present the same information and the same product"
Why can't people just learn that people will be... Enthustiac enough do do the same thing with music and videos.
The Article talked about how it was hard for her to hold a job
And even more so it talked about how the FBI tracked their every move, often mishandling infomation because of assumptions that were not looked into further.
So I'd like to know just why I'm flamebait for a question that was quite honest, I have had my fair share of problems with child support
On one hand it seems interesting that one can potentially have something that "can be built to do exactly what it should and no more" but with that comes the problem (headache perhaps?) of the reauthorization of every new executable/binary/process ect that was not initially thought up during the install process.
Now with persistent processes, what is one "allows" a program that is initially thought of as secure, then it is discovered that it has a horrible bug that compromises the system? Does it stop the unwanted processes, or does it allow them because the permission is already set to, with the idea in mind that if you think something is secure, it is.
Although a good idea, it can also stop one from doing some interesting things, for instance, using your web browser to look at pictures. You can easily use a Picture editing program like Gimp to view it, or you can use an image previewing device, which both are made to look at pictures, or your web browser, which is made to look at information in general that is online, but not necessarily used to preview pictures.
Now with EAL4, that is equal to Symantec Enterprise Firewall (Which of course means crap if you know the flaws that are within the coding structure)
But it means EAL4 requires more through design description, a subset of implementation, and improved mechanisms and/or procedures that provide confidence that the TOE will not be tampered with during development or delivery
That leaves the impression that as long as only the developers and the beta testers have it, it could be rated EAL to the highest power... even after all the flaws are discovered.
Moot point..
Of course I am probably not seeing the whole picture, and am totally wrong...

Ironically this is the same place you can get movies, and CDs legally; the problem is people have to return them.
You don't have to return pirated copies.
So few understand the humor in this.
You'd need to drag out some type of hardware on your plane trips, because WiFi isn't really going to be big in Boeings with Connexion until 2004.
