This isn't a hot spot.

I live in Eastern WA and get down to that area almost weekly. This is *not* a hot spot. If you run your favorite wardriving tool you will not detect this network with a normal wi-fi adapter. I've tried. It may be 802.11b, but you need their proprietary hardware with (I think) a directional antenna. And you'd have to know where to point it also...
This is merely just an ISP that is delivering broadband wirelessly. Pretty cool though, that they can cover such a large area that normally would be hard pressed to get a reliable 56k connection (our plants out in the wheats there have no end of dial-up trouble).
That's a G-body. '78-80 Are technically A-bodies, but the same. '81-88 are G-bodies. And yeah, their diesel did suck. Olds engines are strong, but not 22:1 compression strong...
My Oldsmobile G-body mailing list looked at getting the gmail.com domain about 7-8 years ago. At the time it was owned by a gay-porn mail service. They were willing to sell but we settled for another domain instead.
Hindsight being 20/20 and all we could be rich now:)
Seriously, if you go ahead with this, don't use a regular metal mower blade. Use something like a weed whacker--a nylon string. Coverage is far less and speed is less, but speed shouldn't matter in this application. So what if it has to make 4x as many passes...
... a follow up:
The linked artile mentions that the "switch" won't be flipped for another week. The local paper article said it was active already, they wanted it up for the big "hoopfest" tournament this weekend.
So, one of the articles is wrong (probably our paper, it sux0rz). Maybe that's why I couldn't connect.
Would sound be a "broadcast"? Is anything I say automatically covered by this?
I saw this last night, some interesting points.

The Way the Music Died

I saw most of this show on TV last night. I found it interesting that they did NOT mention the Internet or P2P file sharing as a cause for poor music sales.
Instead I think they nailed it when they said
- More lax regulations on radio station ownership is to blame. Now that everything is Clearchannel, you can only play what they want. Artists used to get their big break by a local station playing their music.
- Video is also to blame. You can't just sing any more, you have to look good too. They used Brittney Spears as a prime example--nice to look at but can't sing her way out of a paper bag.

Yeah, right. If you believe that I've got a bridge for sale...

And Golden Palace.com is currently taking bets on who will win the X-prize and whether or not Wild Fire even has a successful mission...
I, for one, welcome our new RFID masters.

Out of 4 random intersections downtown (well within the listed coverage area), 3 had no signal and the 4th was so weak it kept coming and going.
I suppose you get what you pay for...
No officer, I have no idea why that rock chip looks just like a chisel mark ;)
