Not to rain on your parade, but I would guess that of all the politicians running for President, Ron Paul is probably the least likely to continue sanctions against Iran. He just recently said he wants to trade with Castro, after all. I think someone got peanut butter in your conspiracy theory, or your conspiracy theory in someone's peanut butter. One or the other.
Of course, because I've never heard anyone refer to Danny Ainge as that little white guy, or the boyfriend of an Hispanic girl as "you know, the white guy that drives the Porsche". It is a way of differentiating people when they are the minority in a situation, no different than the "bald" part of the comment. If your anger was at a statement like "There are a bunch of black guys standing outside the door" then I concede your point, that is a racist stereotype that they are up to no good. But "that black guy in accounting" is no worse than "that short guy in accounting" and your hair trigger offendability is just as much of a racism problem as actual racist comments.
Change NSF to NSA, and the summary would make just as much sense...except "terrorist" would be defined as whatever the current politicians in power decide it to mean.
Space race, nuclear power, this kind of technology. Just goes to show, if you have a good idea, find a way to use it to further the war machine and political agendas and prepare to get buried in money. Can someone please figure out a way to weaponize a cure for cancer?
Thanks, but I've grown rather fond of my reproductive abilities.
Yes, that has been my point to the microwave FUD going around. Just use 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz, and if you're argument is that you have to run 2.4GHz to support legacy hardware, well, you're already dealing with the microwave problem and this isn't a shortcoming of 11n. After all, we're supposed to be arguing the possibilities of replacing ethernet with 11n, not ethernet with wireless in general. (Of course, I would argue that the real discussion is if you can replace ethernet to the desktop, not wires in general. Nobody is going to pull their GB cards out of their servers and stick an 802.11n card in there, or try to connect their cluster to a SAN with 802.11n.)
This is compounded by the fact that the N standard uses MIMO and occupies all three available non-interfering channels in the 2.4 GHz spectrum meaning that you can't install very many access points in the same area without causing allot of interference to the other access points.
I feel like a broken record. 802.11n uses 5GHz or 2.4GHz & 5GHz. The number of non-interfering channels in 2.4GHz is indeed three. However, the total number is closer to 25 (or 12 if you choose to run 40MHz channels instead of 20MHz for increased speed).
I'm right there with you in not being an expert, but, using this logic, wouldn't wireless network simply cease to function in a large city where radio/television/police band/cellular/etc. is blanketing the area with radio signals. Frequency does matter in interference.
Not to disagree, as obviously wired connections will, for the foreseeable future, always outperform wireless, but you do realize that 802.11n specs call for up to 4 transmitting and 4 receiving antennas per AP, right? In your home with four PCs, you can reasonably expect that you will not experience the same issue you have today where 4 computers are vying for the attention of a single antenna.
I'm surprised at the number of people that don't realized 802.11n can operate at 5GHz, like 802.11a. I thought this was one of the major selling points.
802.11n runs at 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz. Legacy support for your G hardware and 5GHz for your newer N hardware and your legacy A (if you have it). Should coexist just fine.
Albums are quickly becoming marketing structures to get people to attend your live performances. Many new bands give away their music via MySpace and PureVolume in hopes of getting people to come to their shows -- where they make the actual dollars doing actual labor on an ongoing basis.
I hear this argument time and time again, but you don't realize that not all people feel the same way as you. I enjoy recordings and generally don't care for concerts. I would much rather sit down and listen, in the comfort of my own home, to someone who spent a week or two with a good technician to get their song to come out exactly like it sounds in their head rather than pay 3 times the cost to deal with transportation, parking, bad audio, overpriced beverages, second hand pot smoke, people vomiting on the floor next to me, just so I could hear an artist who is drunk, stoned, fighting with his drummer, etc.
To me, music is like literature. I'd much rather sit in my living room reading The Stand than pay money to have Stephen King read it to me.
The problem is how to distribute your music to people like myself, without getting bent over by the distributors. If you can figure out a way for a band to get their music into my home, while still guaranteeing the artist >50% of the profit, you'd be the savior of music. However, with digital audio being what it is, and with 95% of people having no moral objection to grabbing a song off of P2P instead of actually paying for it, that's a long, uphill climb.
They are preserving the rituals of the hunt, no different than modern (Catholics/Protestansts/Jews) preserving the rituals of the host/communion/sabbath. Now you can argue that these people should not use modern appliances to cook their bread or modern preserving technology to protect their drink, but I am sure they would explain to you that it is the ritual act itself, not the means, that is important.

No, that is only funny if you do it to the American Association of Behavioral and Social Sciences.
Sorry, I was with you right up until
which would, of course, violate certain laws of thermodynamics and cause the universe to implode.
On the plus side, if his gun ever jammed, he could simply toss a bullet into the air and roundhouse it into the terrorist's thigh.

Just use CR without a LF. It is slightly more difficult to read, but all options are listed first.
I checked, I'm not.
That's because their lobbying efforts have proven ineffective.

Please tell me where I can purchase one of these fine 5000MHz microwave ovens.

Because microwaves are imperfectly shielded and operate at 2450 MHz.
Yes

So do you, Dr. Kimble.
That thing's got its own weather system. I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick.
Oh, now he's going to cry himself to sleep tonight on his HUGE pillow.
I've seen a video of a Glock being fired underwater. Here is a link, but I can't verify it at work if it is the same one.
You sure it wasn't Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (Rachmaninoff).
