If you'd read the story you would have seen that basic indeed did show up. He had to be helped to stand in alphabetical order because he never did learn the alphabet.
I've got a headless box running Windows 98 (first edition) and TightVNC server. I store all my MP3 files on the drive of that system and VNC in to play them. It's not like you need to do anything but setup a playlist and go, so I just close the connection after I get them started.
Before modding this down as a troll, please read the whole thing:
802.11a is horrible. The testing I've done for my company indicates that the highest actual throughput you'll get with an access point is 8Mb. The highest you'll get ad-hoc is 18 (which is actually pretty good).
The problem is that kind of throughput is only possible when the system is right next to the AP or when the two systems are practically touching. If you walk a few meters and have line-of-site, you'll be able to get +10Mb throughput with the two adapters in ad-hoc, but if you go around a corner it drops off radically.
Now, why does 802.11a have such a problem with corners? Because the higher frequency transmissions will not bounce as well. Rather than diffracting like 2.4GHz transmissions do (diffraction is the bending of a wave around an obstruction), the radio waves bounce, diffuse, etc. Basically, the signal breaks up. 802.11b, though (and 802.11g) will route around obstructions better because of the lower frequency. The lower the frequency, the more diffractive the signal. I predict 802.11a will be passed over for 802.11g. Especially because 802.11g is backwards compatible. The real panacea will be cards that work with 802.11a/b/g. They'll have to have two different antennas, but they'll be kick-ass.
I've seen the hardware. The home wireless network kit is a PC card, a USB adapter, an a router with 4-port switch (kind of like the Linksys BEFW11S4). The router is VERY small, but it's all really just standard stuff. The industrial design is very good and the software for it is pretty. It's not proprietary in any way, and actually looked really nice.
How could you not known about wonky? I find the whole idea of not being familiar with that work absolutely wonky.
I imagine you know what something does when it conks out, right?
When I'm abroad and people ask where I'm from, I tell them "Texas". When I say what citizenship I am (or whatever) I say "I'm from the states". It seems to work.
I wish that article had been out just a little while longer so I could post a link to the Google cached version of it. I'll have to bide my time, I guess.
Put pork chops in a pan with the heat turned on to medium. Season them on one side. Cook them until they're done on that side and flip them over. There will be a lot of juice in the pan because the heat isn't high enough for it to burn off. The pork chops get really tender and taste really good.
Damn! I was just checking to see if anyone had posted this because it's exactly what I thought the headline was. I also was expecting some +1 Funny mod points.:(
Actually, we have a Dodge truck with the exact same problem. OBD doesn't give the information that you need and you can't find out what's wrong except for going to the dealership.
Also, some parts are patented. (Oil pressure sending switch.
I've actually seen the VCD of Spiderman here in India and it's rotten. Asian subtitles, bad color, stretched vertically, terrible sound, etc. VCDs are really popular here, though, because the population simply couldn't afford the exhorbitant prices the MPAA would want to charge them.
My hotel in Bangalore has the "worldwide" CNN and BBCNews, but they both loop after about an hour. I've seen this story about three times now with live footage. The worst part is that the footage also contains the aircraft's location. It's just silly that the live footage isn't encrypted at all. I mean, how hard could it be?
If it is, it's from outside India. People from the US and UK aren't sending their reps, so business is on hold. That doesn't mean the natives are afraid, and especially not in Bangalore.
Actually, if I were a consultant in India I'd just put the bulk of my computing power in Bangalore. I'm actually here right now (I'm a US citizen on a 6 month visa) and there is no fear of war out here. Any fighting is likely to remain remote to Kashmir and not come this far, much less even as far as Mumbai.

The local dance station here in Austin is playing a recording of Kylie Minogue in concert singing to the music of Bizzarre Love Triangle. The song actually sounds good and I prefer it to the original (Can't get you out of my head?)
I forget which one, but they coined the term "Class 100 Strength" which means the character could life at least 100 tons. There were a lot of them who could.
I loved those comics (especially the Marvel ones). The DC ones had like 8 Batmans in it and all but one died in their little "Sweeps" they were having to battle the Secret Wars sagas going on over at Marvel. Hey, I was about 11 at the time! Cut me some slack!
I even tried VirtualPC at the dual 450 PIII under Win98 with 512 MB of RAM, with OpenSTEP as the guest OS, but it was equally slow.
It was not the main comparison, but touting a systems as a dual 450 and then using Win98 as the host OS is retarted.
Next time, please pay attention to all factors, you lush.
The funniest thing is that he complained about the performance on dual proc systems, but he was running the emulators under Win9x in most cases.
Win9x doesn't support dual PROCS!
Maybe just like with Microsoft products, the Matrix will not REALLY be any good until version 3.0.
I wonder if we'll see two different versions: 3.1 and 3.1 for Workgroups.
Oh NO! Maybe the Matrix is communicating via NetBUI! Imagine all the broadcast packets.

I saw the word usage while skimming the blurb and my brain swapped it for the word "sausage". More appropriate, but not correct.
