You must be one of those "Tech Savvy" Gen something or anothers described in the article I just read.
You talk like someone whose knowledge of wireless is reading the marketing on the side of the box and supporting you and a few friends on commodity gear you bought at OfficeMax.
First, you'll rarely (read never) achieve a full 54m rate and if you do it's because you're less than 20 ft from the WAP and there is no one else using it.
Second, it's 54m PER NODE. That means you take your 54m and divide it by the number of wireless clients associated with that node. If you have ten active users that means your theoretical 54m just got split by ten. Congratulations, you now have 5.4m per user. At 25 users you were TWIN-AX would be faster than what your users would have!
Now all of this is assuming that someone doesn't fire up the microwave, an amateur radio transmitter, talk on the cordless, or want to roam more than 150ft from your WAP.
Some of this can be sidestepped by adding more WAPs but you quickly run into problems with that plan as well.
Oh, and how do all of these wonderful WAPs connect to everything else? Why through WIRES of course! Doh!
Even WiMax interfaces at some point with another non-wireless transmission media.
In short, you should leave the "Wireless FTW!!!!!111!!!!!" style posts in the dustbin where they belong. Radio geeks will tell you that this stuff is HARD and that wireless is never going to fully replace wires. NEVER.
For all of the fancy explanation in the parent post what you've stated is the truth. The clipboard does not function as expected for many, probabably a majority, of users.
It simply doesn't have the capability of other Operating Systems. This is a problem.
You already can buy equipment from any reseller and use it on any compatible network. You just have to pay for it without the Cell company subsidizing part of the cost. In other words you won't be paying $49.99 for that cell phone, you'll be paying it's REAL cost of $349.99.
If I had the points I'd mod you insightful. You are one of the few people in the thread to comment on this. The buyers, or potential buyers, of the tickets had NO contract with the team. None. Even those buyers who actually purchased the tickets through stubhub have NO contract, implied or otherwise, with the Patriots.
That means turning over the buyers information was completely unnecessary, a violation of privacy, and perhaps in violation of law.
The sellers are another story, assuming of course that they purchased the tickets they were selling through an authorized outlet.
Okay, so I'm interested in what tortured logic you are going to use to impose those rules on the people attempting to BUY tickets. After all it's quite probable that they are not currently ticket holders and have therefore agreed to no restrictions. In fact they may not even be aware of them.
So now you've violated the privacy of a whole bunch of people you don't have legal agreements with. Enjoy the court cases.
Fon has three types of users: Linux, Bill, and Alien. If you sign up as a Linux and share your wifi you get free wifi at any other Fon access point.
If you are a Bill you make a bit of money when another Bill or Alien, logs onto your Fon access point. Conversely if you roam onto another Fon AP you are expected to pay at a reduced rate.
An Alien is anyone who is not part of the Fon network. They can still access any Fon AP but they have to pay to do it.
My point is that if you are a "La Fonera" and share your wifi free you get wifi free. Sharing is good.
Yes, because encouraging academic performance instead of corporate profit is entirely irresponsible. Are you high? Are you Kenneth Lay returned from the grave?
Get a grip on yourself. I'm no hippy, I'm a Wyoming dwelling died in the wool Libertarian Conservative and I FIRMLY stand behind this manager.
When a community comes together to help a child get their priorities straight it's a GOOD thing.
You put making a buck ahead of engaging in good societal membership. I despise people like you.
Oddly enough I don't have to imagine what will happen when the process comes to an end, the bible tells me.:-D
2nd Peter Chapter 3
10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
That's a pretty good description of what will happen to the earth in about 5 billion years when the sun's gravity well collapses and it expands enough to intercept the earth's orbit isn't it?
Now how DID pesky ol' St. Peter know about this a good 19 centuries before we did? Think on that for a while, let it roll around in your mind. No particular outcome of your thought is necessary, just the thoughts themselves.
I'm a Christian and even I'll say that most of the fundy ones are nuts...and hypocrites of the first order. That doesn't mean that scripture doesn't have some intriguing insights contained in it.
I'd dearly like for you to provide a logic chain with how this is the result of ANY Bush administration policy. The emissions policies on cars has been set for a long long time.
I'm no #43 fan but let's at least be legitimate with our mud slinging.
Spoken like someone without a family or a job that requires good dress. I am growing to despise the absolute smugness of people who treat the bicycle as the end all be all of transportation.
Here are a couple of scenarios for you to consider.
First, I defy you to bike to the grocery here where I live up some of the extreme grades we have in town and purchase groceries for a family...in the winter when it's sub-freezing, blowing 30 MPH+, and there's ice on those grades. You're a fool if you think you can do it and you'll soon be a dead fool if you try. Try it during the summer and you'll face those same grades with blistering heat. Either way you'll be carrying roughly 200 hundred pounds of food.
Second, how do I bike my son to school in the morning and then bike myself to work without arriving as a disheveled mess? Whether it is summer or winter there are difficulties with the weather and temperature.
Then there is the small matter of safety. Would you care to ride your 7 year old child several miles through rush hour traffic on a bicycle? I wouldn't and you're a fool if you say you would.
Biking is all good when you're single (or DINK) and have a job without a strict dress code. It becomes progressively more difficult as you have a family and a career, difficult to the point of being ludicrous to do it.
Put your smug in a bottle and understand that not everyone lives like you do.
You obviously don't understand anything about "sporty machines".
Adding the weight of a 250HP electric motor to each wheel would result in an absolutely staggering amount of unsprung weight! When I hear someone talking about adding unsprung weight on the order of 100 pounds to each wheel I immediately know that they don't understand what they are talking about.
Understand that removing just 5lbs of unsprung weight from each wheel on a car is a good goal. You're talking about ADDING 100 pounds per wheel, making a machine jarring to ride and terrifically difficult to turn or control under heavy acceleration or braking.
You may know a thing or two about ultra capacitors and electricity but it's obvious that you know bupkiss about mechanical engineering and sports cars.
I'll get right on it as soon as you explain to me how to deliver myself and my wife to work and my son (7)to school when it's well below freezing, or when it's raining, or when it's 100F outside.
Additionally I need a way to get all of us to my mother's place who lives 700 miles from me or my wifes sister who lives 400 miles from me. Oh, and I'll need a way to get the groceries home too.
No electric car to date will solve the second paragraph but the new generation of electrics and plug-in hybrids will certainly help me with the first paragraph.
I'm glad that your bike, and feet, work for you but stop being so self centered. There's more to life than just how YOU live.
Yes, but absolutely EVERYTHING you use comes from...somewhere else. Now how smart is it to be 100% reliant on people you don't know in order to remain alive?
You mean like Final Fantasy 1 - 13, Halo 1 - 3, GTA 1 - whatever it is now, all 400 versions of unreal tournament, and 65 different but similar FPS games?
That is your idea of "hardcore" that is somehow superior to what Nintendo is doing?
Also, your argument is VERY inconsistent. You dismiss Wii Sports, Wii Play, Nintendogs stuff because it isn't hardcore but you previously rail on the lack off innovative hardcore games like...Yoshi's Island?!?!
Dude, WTF? Please, get a consistent argument and try again.
Anyway, frankly speaking "Hardcore Gamer" is a tag fit for underaged immature brats with more free time than motivation. Don't believe me? Take a survey and see how many people who are financially, emotionally, or academically successful would describe themselves as hardcore gamers. The answer is a very very very small percentage of the over all total.
People who are engaged in their life and successful do not have TIME to be "hardcore gamers". That pretty much leaves kids without jobs and losers living in their mom's basement in the "hardcore" pool. If you need proof of this log in to XBox live, or any other online service, sometime and listen to the stream of garbage being tossed around by the majority of the other players...who all sound like they 12 years old or consistently talk about how fucking high they are.
Face it, today's hardcore gamers are either sub 22 year old punks with nothing better to do then game or super 22 year old losers who don't WANT to do anything other than game.

That's nothing. When they do manage to jury rig a wrench they'll remove 699 bolts and the 700th one will be stuck!
Casper is tied for the first largest city in Wyoming with Cheyenne. They both have around 50K people.
:D
You're in Denver and didn't know this? We're straight north on I25 from you!
Thanks for the salary review on your website. I'll be sure to forward that to my boss.
I live in Casper and I'm now officially depressed.

We'd be in a lot better shape if shops WOULD stop selling things to dumb people!

Mmmm hmmm, sure. It's "Confirmation Bias" now but what was it 100 years ago when no one knew what it meant?
The way you use the term it would apply to anything that you suddenly discovered the meaning of.
