I'm sure they're not banning 2.4 GHz wireless phones, only wireless access points. So, they're not banning use of the spectrum, only a particular networking device that uses that frequency. Big difference.
Just curious, where was this den of idiots located?
My high school experience was filled with very good teachers. Then again, I was an honor student so maybe I got the best ones.
Hmm, I see it differently. At least in Greece and Italy (which I have visited and have family), the people are extremely proud, patriotic, and nationalistic. I really don't think people are very different, no matter what country they are from.
What if the parent is a total moron, leftist, rightist, skinhead, evangelical, etc, etc? Sure, they might find a school that caters to their bias. But does society benefit from a child who is only exposed to what his parents want him to learn?
I do some work on the side. Regardless of OS (98, XP, etc), a majority of the PC's I work on have major problems due to viruses, spyware, and general lack of maintenance. People simply are not aware of how to take care of a PC. They don't know about patches, firewalls, antivirus, defrag, spyware, disk space, screen resolution/refresh rate, etc. I guess they view computers as appliances and expect them to be as reliable and maintenance free.
As part of my service, I try to educate customers about these things, and generally, they're receptive. But there's a limit to how much of my time people are willing to pay for in order to learn "computers."
1. Earnhardt was not wearing his seatbelt properly. However, even if he did, he probably still would have died due to the sudden deceleration (i.e. impact). The human body can only take so much deceleration. Same thing happened to Senna. The fancy carbon fiber Formula 1 car was fine, relatively speaking, aftre the crash. The driver was not.
2. A fancy bumper is useless when a 4,000 vehiole hits a 500-750 lb (estimated) collection of solar panels and bicycle wheels. The momentum transfer is enormous.
A few years ago in my last job, we got hit with one of those viruses that hacks your web site (IIS of course) and modifies the home page to include bad words. We actually got the FBI involved.
I got to talking with the agent and he basically said, unless someone actually intrudes into your system, you have no recourse. Atempts are one thing, actual intrusions are something else. Also, most likely, the activity you're seeing is viruses, not someone actively trying to break-in. Just keep your systems secure and patched and keep an eye on them.
I drive a sports car but definitely not to attract women (I'm already married). Honestly, I've never known any guy who met up with a woman because of his car.
However, I love (I mean LOVE) driving this car - great acceleration, handling, and sound.
Hey, maybe sticking to my old 802.11b AP has paid off. I can now skip to the latest technology without spending money on interim products/upgrades. Yay!
I installed XP SP2 earlier this week. As far as I can perceive, the PC is running the same as before. Of course, I disabled the firewall, antivirus nag feature, and auto Windows update.
I'm definitely not a pro-MS guy, but this anti-MS stuff gets to be a bit extreme sometimes.
My preferred OS's? Netware at the server, XP or Linux at the desktop.
Umm, thinking of cars here, but the same would apply to homes too. The greeenhouse effect is due to higher frequency light energy going through glass, getting absorbed by surfaces and then being reradiated into the space as infrared radiation. Here's where I'm confused. I thought glass was fairly opaque to infrared, thus causing the rise in temperature in the space. What good would this coating be in hot climates?
Having a PE may not prove competence, but it's sure needed in order to seal engineering drawings. That includes those sniffy EE's you mention.

Licensure laws vary from state to state and are exclusively under the control of the individual state legislatures. But generally, the licensure laws for professional engineers require graduation from an accredited engineering curriculum followed by approximately four years of responsible engineering experience, and finally the successful completion of a written exam. Some states may waive the written exam on the basis of education and experience, but the trend is toward an examination requirement.
You poor thing. You have been brainwashed to enjoy living in a small world in close, unhealthy proximity to other people not to mention noisy city streets, man made nature (a park? ha), and dependency on others to do things for you.
But if they jack up the rates of bad drivers maybe they can lower my rates.
Maybe is exactly right. I'd venture a guess that there aren't enough bad drivers to pay rates high enough so that yours can be lowered. I live in NJ and my insurance company states that they are doing just what you say, raising rates for bad drivers so good drivers can get a break. I laugh.
The only time my rates went down was when I turned 25 and got married (simultaneusly). After that it's only been up up up. I've never gotten a ticket, never been in an accident.
I question how low lower rates really are. For example, I have State Farm insurance on my house and three cars. For the car insurance, I get an accident free discount, a multi-car discount, as well as a discount for having home insurance. I still pay $3,200 per year for car insurance. Without the discounts I'd pay $3,300, BIG DEAL! Discounts? Lower rates? Thanks, but no thanks.
I guess it's the cost of living in free society. I for one am willing to take those risks rather than be subject to automated government/insurance company scrutiny.

I have yet to see a rendering problem with Firefox or Mozilla. For my own edification, can you point me to an example site?

Somewhat tongue in cheek, but...
That's because Japan is one big traffic jam. Cars in cities rarely exceed walking speed.

An idle average male generates about 250 BTU/hr which equates to 73 watts.
BTU/hr * 0.29287 = Watts
Funny maybe, but definitely not insightful.
Agreed.

What the hell was the circumcision done with? A chainsaw?

Talk about old news. This was in all the major car magazines one or two months ago.

Pure, unadulterated schlock, boring, badly acted, cheap sets, bad costumes, did I say boring?, incomprehensible, drivel, dreck...

Nope, it's a single entity not a collection of studios, so "has" is correct.
