maybe this would be their cue to abandon ham in favor of web broadcasts... hey, and they'll get
broadband out of the deal.
ever try to download porn on ham radio?
yeah, i was wondering about that myself. I mean, i could just have a seat at a table with my $900 toshiba laptop, netstumbler, and a 802.11b card and get the same results.
I support a network and approximately 65 users with varying knowledge bases. We have everyone from "grandma" who just started using the thing this year, to a kid currently studying for his CCNA. My job isn't just to fix the situation, but it is to explain the resolution, and in some instances provide documentation to the users about the problem, so they can avoid it all together in the future. Us techies have to be the Technology Embassadors and teach them on their own level.
Yes, there are some folks at my site that aren't worth the time. Those folks are tough, but I keep my cool, and just let them think it's all 'magic'. But the rest of them deserve the respect as humans to be talked to as humans, even though their mistakes seem ironic or comical to me, i have much more experience than them.
this is good that the FCC is taking this step. i wasn't aware that my boss had left our exchange server open until a group of tawainese spammers were already using our open relay for a few hours. once i had them blocked at the firewall, i went to investigate. i found the relay open to mail and locked it as well. it's funny b/c i really would have thought that he would have done a better job at securing the server, but it must have been overlooked. nonetheless, a simple reminder would be nice to folks in situations similar to ours.
why is everyone so concerned with the 'means' and refuses to look at the end results.
Would there be the same reaction had the student made the changes in the teachers physical paper based grade book.
If he had picked up her red pen and changed a few "F"'s to "B"'s would this be a legal matter instead of a school discipline issue?
sure, the kid deserves the ten day suspension, but does he really need to face juvenile corrections for simply the equivilant of cheating on four tests?

I have to agree with this comment.

if only i could get a permanent wireless power source to power my laptop, i'd be set with true wirelessness
will they break the mythical $200 price barrier before christmas and make it to everyone's gift list?

I seem to remember a few other choice nvidia cards (ahem) with, shall we say, augemented benchmark results?
i personally have started a career with said theory... so far, so good.
