Nobody has mentioned this so far: why not go with plain old 802.11g? All you need is a friend with broadband with a clear line of sight to your place and a couple Pringles can antennas. Sure, it'll be crap when it's raining, but it's cheap.
Personally, I prefer the voice menus to the touch tone menus. Rather than having to listen to some recording drone on about options, I just say what I want. The only difficulty is when my issue is beyond the scope of the options -- which is a problem with touch navigation, too. And once I've found where I need to go, it's easier to just say it next time than to remember some arcane sequence of numbers to press.
What irony? It would be irony if they were using Linux where Windows competes, such on the desktop or for servers. As far as I know, there is no Windows embedded (Windows seems attached to having a GUI). And while Microsoft does make a lot of software, it has specialised in a few areas (that's a facet of efficiency/capitalism). Since they don't make a similar product, it's just a matter of using the best tool for the job here, and it happens to be Linux.
On a side note, real irony is when you make a ferrousiously bad pun.
At home. Seriously. You'll learn the most by using a *nix-based system every day. You'll want to do something, then research how to do it, then you've learned. The courseware you'll find out there will be great to expanding your horizon, however, on just the possibilities on what can be done. If you come from a Windows background, it'll take you a while to realise just how flexible and endless the possibilities of a *nix system are. Get yourself a *nix system you have full control over and start tinkering.

You're both being pedantic.
I'll have some of whatever you're Tolkien!
Well if anyone tosses their cookies in my java, I, for one, am sure not going to drink it!

I don't get it. Aren't humans "animals", too?
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Don't goldfish only have a 3 second memory?
That will be a great day for herpes, siphylis, crabs, pregnancies, clamedia ....
I felt a disturbance in the force. It is as if the fantasies of millions of slashdotters were suddenly silenced.
You could probably get your monkey spanked for about that price.

Here's one that's even shorter, but you have to type in the decryption key exactly right.
No, I'm pretty sure he mean hoses.
I'm 24 and my eardrums are hurting a minute later.
At least the ones that don't practice yoga.
According to Apple's own fiscal results report this morning, they shipped 8.11 devices, a significant increase over last year.
I hope I'm not the unlucky sod to open his iPod box and find 1/9th of a device inside!
I stand enlightened. Thanks!

Japanese Scientists Make Alzheimers Progress
So if we eliminate the Japanese scientists, would it slow Alzheimer's down?
