  3. Re:Why not satellite? on Web Access Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    I installed satellite "broadband" for a family member in a rural area. I don't want to get too ugly on my description of the service, but let's just say I've used better dial-ups at about 1/20th the price. OTOH, as a radio geek, I do not approve of BPL either. What ever happened to Wi-Max?

    4. You don't know what internal politics are until you get a bunch of University staff to try and cooperate on IT projects / budgets / resources
    5. Policies dictaed by a central IT department who aren't even smart enough to get out of their cubicles to enjoy the PROS

    Seriously, my 2ghz g4 laptop has burned my legs. I hope the intel chip can fair better, faster.

  12. Re:Bollocks on Are Blogs the Future of Journalism? · · Score: 1

    "Recently bloggers were part of the forces compelling Trent Lott to resign as Senate majority leader and Dan Rather to apologize to viewers on national television."
