So for all she knows they may be rolling d100, and BS'ing the rest of the session...
Verizon will drop the connection instantly if one of your internal 192.x.x.x IP's shows up on the link.
The firewall I built for this used Shorewall when I first built it, but I soon found that Shorewall would start routing packets out over the PPP link before the NAT got enabled, and so 192.168.x.x IP's were going out the wireless link, and the connection would get dropped as soon as one of those packets got out.
Ended up using SuSE's built-in firewall, and it was ok since then. (Less flexibility, but simple enough rules no harm done.)
This is news how? Pay attention to the TOS's, and don't presume its an "always on" service.
I setup a little Linux router w/ one of these Verizon Wireless cards recently for a gal at work, who's a "Home Based Employee" We read the TOS's, and she's aware of the situation. She uses it for VPN'ing to work, the occasional bit of web surfing, and doesn't leave it on all the time.
Why did we use Verizon? She's out in the middle of nowhere.
(So far in the middle of nowhere, we have to use a Yagi up on an antenna tower to get stable signal).
Her options were go with Verizon, or continue paying through the nose for ISDN. (Satellite seemed to be out of the question due to concerns about the latency.) As it is she gets better bandwidth now, and can pull the card out of the router, and use it with her laptop while she's waiting to pick up the kids from school.
For some its great... for others I can see where it might not be so great..
PS: If you've been paying attention on the EVDO forums, you'd realize that the spelling out of the 5GB limit in the Verizon TOS is an improvement. At one point they just stated no high bandwidth utilization, and didn't spell out exactly what the limit was. Now they do.
Best **** upgrade I ever did was to buy 15' of various cables, and drop the whole bloody thing through the floor into the basement.
Hook your CDRom up to a external USB enclosure, and viola, you set..
Runs cooler now too..
When things like the 'dad' & 'uata' (IDE drivers), and 'todsg' drivers are still in the closed source tarballs, I'm not hopeful for the 'open'ness of 'opensolaris' (Come on, they can't release drivers for their own hardware clocks?! (todsg))

If you wait a bit, you can watch it on the big screen.

(Curiously, the IMDB page for the movie has disappeared.)
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the "Art of Electronics" books.....
The Art of Electronics (Hardcover)
by Paul Horowitz (Author), Winfield Hill (Author)
They (might) be becoming slightly dated at this point, but (AFAIK) they're the books used by one of the MIT electronics courses.

You'd want the lab manual as well...

I found both books at the local Barnes and Nobles. (And I don't recall paying quite so much for them a year ago.)
Read the sections your interested in, and just "do it".

And as far as I can tell (from the interviews I've seen) See's nothing wrong with what he did......... :-?

Its the ESRB, not Jury duty.........
No, never had one, but I remember you making those comments when they bought out Origin. D*** this bites.

Yup. Bets on how soon after he moves he'll be busted for something..
Welcome to Amerika.
Just out of idle curiosity, is the video support any better than Linux? (Or expected to be?)
:-( )
Linux is unusable on my Modded 1.6 w/ Component video cable. (the 1.6's pretty much only support the composite video cable.
