Seriously though, they might frown upon you bringing a laptop to work too. Someone else mentioned using a linux live CD, but you probably only have one computer while at work and can't afford to be rebooting it between taking calls and programing. One other thing you could consider is installing virtualPC/VMWare and running linux in a window. But, I'm sure you've thought of all this and using your PDA is probably the mose effective way.
It's people like you that are the reason they only play shit on the radio. Pop "music" (what's played on the radio) is neither music nor art anymore. It is a product that is manufactured by large corporations and consumed by people like you.
You don't have to be a fringe indy-artist nerd to find new music. Just listen to some new stuff and decide for yourself if you like it or not. Go to clubs, when you hear something you like, ask the DJ what it is (they like to know that people like what they play even if they don't act like it). Go to some non chain music stores and buy a mix cd in a genre you like and pick out which artist you like and buy some of their CDs or other mix albums with that same artist on it.
It's really not hard to come up with your own style and stop letting corporate owned radio stations spoon feed you shit.

I saw that about ice cream on some space show on discovery last night. It was about black holes and hosted by the guys that do the Myth Busters show. They would give space facts between show and commercial.
Passing a law to fix spam is a bad Idea. After they get this passed, then they will pass more laws to outlaw more "bad" things on the internet.
Just let the technology fix its self. Or if they want to help, maybe fund some research on an SMTP alternative.

There are some instructions in the book about how to build a reflector to focus the signal. Like if the AP was at one corner of your house, you could focus it all into the rest of your house so you would lose less outside. It's basicly a wire screen that you put behind it, but I think the author goes into more detail like size and shape.
How far are you trying to go?

I wouldn't try hooking anything to your phone wiring if you have land phone service. You don't want 80+ volts injected into your Wlan card. If you don't have phone service and want to hook up to that wire, get an isolation transformer and hook it up through that to match the resistance.
As for your UHF antenna, it will probably be better than nothing, but not as good as the correct antenna since it is built for a different frequency.
But I doubt consumers are as foolish as the industry hopes.
You've obviously never seen Josie and the Pussycats. It's not that far off.
I do agree with everything else you're saying, but if they get this working, we won't have to worry about garbage and landfills anyway.
But, corn CDs, or Thermal Depolymerization, that's the American way. Ignore the elephant in the corner and hope a technology comes along someday to take care of it.
Actually, I was joking. One of my best friends is a mac tech and he (like all mac users) love to argue about macs, so I have to give him (like all mac users) shit whenever I can.
(and you proved my point. your post sound just like he wrote it)
And you could put it on a convertable Viper, so it could change color from red, to grey when it morphed into an armored hard-top. And you could use it to fight crime.
I used one of those strips once and was very interested in looking at my own, but had no Idea how FUCKING DISCUSTING someone else's would be MAGNIFIED 200 TIMES!!

Plenum cable doesn't prevent fires or burn any less readily. The only difference is that when it does burn, the shielding doesn't release toxic fumes.

By my estimates, they would have sold 250,000 songs in those 3.5 days to Mac users anyway. That means they sold about 750,000 songs to windows users.
Or a leprechaun!
These emails I keep getting claim I can get at LEAST 3 inches!
Boy, are you behind the times.
Your brothers?
That's what I tell anyone who says they wish they were taller. "It's a curse!"
Not that I would wish to be short, but I really, really hate hitting my head.
Because short people couldn't afford it.
What is it with the need to put things on your car anyway?
I avoid this practice, if for no other reason, to avoid scratching the paint.
The most I've ever put on my car was a drink in a paper/plastic cup and if it's forgot on top, no big deal.
You think aliens use chisels?

"the mouse button"
I still think it's fucking funny that they STILL only have one mouse button.
And don't give me that "I can do everything you can and I only need one button" bullshit.

"So user friendly, it only comes with one button, and we push that before it leaves the factory."

I hate it when she leaves it to me to wash the scanner glass though!
Throw it in the dishwasher. Either it will work, or she will never ask you to clean anything ever again.
