I've got a Virgin Mobile MC760 3G USB Modem, and am wrapping up using a wok skimmer as a parabolic antenna for it. I'm using a 11" skimmer, and went from two to four bars signal. Just have to finish the mounting and I'll be able to use it with our house wifi network through our router (it has a usb port and with dd-wrt I can use that for a failover connection when Comcast goes down).
Here's the basic idea of it: http://geobray.com/2010/02/07/woktenna-for-3g/
Same idea, using USB wifi adapters: http://www.usbwifi.orconhosting.net.nz/
Singapore. I worked there for two weeks at the Marina Bay Sands project. English is the primary language, the area is beautiful and clean. Hated coming home. I'd still move my wife and kids there in a second.

Friend to you and me.
From when I put our solar install in, as far as New Jersey goes, you can't do that. Perhaps soon, with the number of outages and number of installs both going up.
This. With Atlantic City Electric I see the same thing. Hurricane Irene's outages I blame on poor maintenance, trimming. This time around, the trees are shattered - it's amazing how some look.
Problem with most solar installations were I live (and I have solar as well), this that we are currently required to have our solar shut down so it doesn't backfeed to the street. I understand there are ways around that, but we've got a generator and I'll live with that for now.
in southern New Jersey. Cell phone service seems back to normal as of late Monday. Power isn't expected to be back until the 6th, don't know about cable/internet.
Thankfully I purchased a generator after Hurricane Irene last year - were without power/cable/internet for two days after that. Generator will cover a good bit of our needs, just need to make sure we don't overload it - as my wife did this morning.
While I agree that the local utilities DON'T do enough preventative maintenance to trim back trees, etc., the amount of trees that look like they literally exploded is amazing. We were lucky and only had minor damage in our neighborhood, my parent's street looks like a war zone - but they live in a more developed town and have their utilities all restored.
That is so paranoid. DHS would never stoop to such methods, and I'm sure it would take longer than an hour to get a judge to authorize such monitoring.

don't watch the hand he's putting in front of you, watch the hand behind his back. Don't trust them for a second.
Cared enough to post a comment, but not enough to log in first. Lame.

So, which field of Engineering uses the 'theory' of Creationism?
And you can respond quickly too? NO WAY you're on a Pi. Lier!!!!
I've used a Pi, and there's no way for it to respond quick enough on /. for you to post within 6 minutes of the story going live.
Well, I would have at least posted as an AC...

Sarah was easier on the eyes, particularly if you muted the TV.

A judge? You must be new here...
