I think a more apt analogy was if your stereo was blasting music into the street outside your home. An unsecured AP is broadcasting a signal through public airwaves. In the stereo example, can I listen to the music on the street, or should I run away with my hands covering my ears?:) Really, there are quite a few public wifi projects in different cities around the world. If you don't at least put on WEP or Mac filtering, how can people tell the difference in a saturated area?
It's not like the library is trying to use the service to gain customers. If they are offering free, public access, what difference would it make if he was inside or out? Maybe he was smoking.
Do you mean AT&T's Natural Voices?? And if so, what voice fonts does it come with.
I've been waiting before I implement sp2, but that would hurry me up.
"Why play a FPS game, when you can play Paintball?
Um.....we'd have to go outside..
"Why run on a threadmill or pedal on a stationary bicycle, when you can run or bike outside?
Again, the whole outside thing. Maybe someday, when we have better WiFi mesh networks out there....
No offense, but you do know you're posting on/., right?
That just gave me an idea. Let's start a petition to get Lucus to let Peter Jackson direct 7-9. Maybe he could use his experience and adapt some of the SWEU books.
Jar Jar wasn't the only one that fell for Palpatine. The entire senate voted to give him emergency powers. I think it was purely a marketing tool for the younger crowd, just like the Ewoks in ROTJ.
If the kid had been smart enough for that rule, he would have remembered the other: Don't use your own phone. I know all the kids have cell phones, but do they still know what those strange phone-looking boxes on the walls are for?

Didn't the voice of Homer change after the 1st season or 2? Maybe the actor just started doing it differently when the character changed from mean to stupid. I miss Jim Henson too.
Do voice actors get paid royalties like normal actors do? If a normal actor had a hit show, they would probably have lots of work in the future. I'm not sure these voice actors could make nearly as much with follow-up work. I'm not saying that $125 per ep isn't a lot...but why shouldn't they negotiate like all the other actors do? I think TV salaries on some shows are kind of crazy, but it's not like they have regular work for the rest of their lives. The Simpsons have had a great run, but most of them probably have a ways to go for retirement. I say they should fight for as much as they can. I wish I was a voice actor on the Simpsons.
I've found him pretty interesting and entertaining to say the least. I've also seen debunking of his theories. I'm not sure his method is too objective, but I like the information in his books anyway. Even if his theory doesn't stand up to scientific scutiny, the countless examples of artifacts that don't fit in to the current understanding of archeology make you wonder. I'm sure we don't have our own history down 100%, so things like this really get me interested.
While ice is less dense than water, I'm not sure what that would do to the world water levels. Since it's less dense, it should float in the water. If part of the H20's mass is above water level, it wouldn't be displacing as much. As the ice melts, like your polar ice cap example, wouldn't that offset the difference in density and probably make the levels rise? I'm totally guessing here, these are just my thoughts.
Skepticism and critical thinking should always be close at hand. The parent's point about Troy is still interesting. It was thought to be another purely mythical city. The difference is, Troy was mentioned in many places while Atlantis wasn't. Keep in mind, Plato did say that Atlantis fell under the ocean 10,000 years before. This wouldn't have been common knowledge back then. I'm thinking this won't turn out as Atlantis, but maybe we'll learn something from the underwater ruins anyway.
I read about that in Graham Hancock's book, "The Fingerprints of the Gods" years ago. It is actually quite interesting. Apparently, we've only had the ability to see the real landmass of Antarctica since around the 1950's. The US used seismic charges to drop into the ice and accurately map Antarctica. The last point in time that Antarctica wasn't covered in thousands of feet of ice was before the last ice age. Pire Reis, a Turkish explorer, wrote the map in around 1570. He credited other source maps from the Great Library in Alexandria. On a side note, the reason that old maps always looked skewed was because sailors had no accurate way to measure the longitude on a long voyage. The Sun was used to pinpoint the latitude, but it wasn't until the 1780's, I think, that the chronometer was invented. The map of Piri Reis is kind of interesting for a few different reasons. Has anybody ever read any good debunking of this map? It's probably one of the most interesting artifacts I've ever read about.

I read the headline and the X-men came to mind. Wasn't Kerberos the machine that Dr. Xavier used in that big, round room? /nevermind
I'm gonna open a project for a FTP client on sourceforge right now. How does The_Princess_Diaries_2 sound?
I'll believe that when my crappy Radeon supports 3D and my TV tuner at the same time.
If ATI's drivers don't cut it for you, this project has been helping out for a long time.
mmmm....Where's this free pizza that everyone's talking about?
Installing network devices without reading the instructions is unforgivable these days.
It's not just unforgivable. ISP's are starting to hold customers responsible for unsecured AP's.

To avoid the lawsuit, they should just change names. I hear that Lindows is available.
The survey says moderators don't make anything, so don't complain.
No kidding....If the nerd lobby had more influence, we'd have legal p2p, no DMCA and fiber to every door in the country.

I wish I had enough money to be fined 800k. Wow.
Sorry, I'm familiar with the picture and I think it's funny as fark. I didn't mean for that to sound jerky like it probably came off.
"I think morans would be a more precise term than idiots."
Did you spell "moron" wrong on purpose?
