The OSI seven layer model and the DoD four layer model (now I'm thinking about seven layer taco dips darn it) was one of the most interesting things I ever studied in terms of putting pieces together. The ability to have seperate layer handle different aspects from packing to acknowledgement to physical delivery at once made sense and gave me insight into how computer "stuff" is put together in a group effort. I first learned this seven or so years ago and still remember it fondly as the first area that advanced my knowledge of computers to a deeper level (and something I really enjoyed learning about). Anyone who is interested in computers at all should at least take a look at one of these models - IMHO, it is an example of how computer "stuff" needs to work together aside from being at times disparate, and working in conjunction to accomplish a task.
Madden hehehe - a running joke at my office:
"When you're 3rd and 27 the other team should be expecting a pass from the offense"
He dumbs things down a lot but is great if you're smashed and lost any concept of what is going on with the game:)
My only fear is that some idiot doesn't do his homework and step over an existing radio station's frequency. Gifts like this from the FCC are few and far between - it would be nice if independent radio was allowed to flourish without some meathead screwing it up for everyone. Ah my faith in human nature...
I'm not surprised by this. Business is business, and with the world getting smaller (gawd I hate that phrase) it is easier to see how ideas, good or bad, can be implemented in different markets. One step closer to a world government - whether that is a democratic one or one owned by corporations is yet to be determined...

and I'd rather have icicles jammed into my eye sockets than map out clock cycles :) - ah well, guess that's why they make chocolate and vanilla...

Maybe you could wardrive and try to crack the park's LAN, before 11:00 of course...
You don't get invited to a lot of LAN parties I imagine...

Umm - who buys broken items intentionally?
