Is there a use for all that wiring that will be left behind by removing lots of payphones? I know eventually it just becomes a phone co. trunk line... Is there any value to these access lines to the trunk? How about pay-per-use DSL?
Am I just dreaming?
Well this makes my company name officially obscure

I got questions every few weeks before and I had answers like "It's the missing element, they found 118 and 116 so 117 must exist. My company provides the missing element in non-profit technology."
Maybe now I'll just say I was drunk when I formed the company.
WD Caviar® 60 GB-Per-Platter Family Satisfies Today's Need for Speed and Capacity
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Jun 25, 2002 - Continuing to lead the 7,200 RPM market with its WD Caviar® family, Western Digital Corp (NYSE: WDC) today introduced the industry's largest capacity hard drive - its WD Caviar 200 GB 7,200 RPM product. This milestone marks the fourth consecutive first-to-market 7,200 RPM hard drive delivered by Western Digital - which was first to deliver 7,200 RPM hard drives in 80, 100 and 120 GB capacities.
WD Caviar 60 GB-per-platter 7,200 RPM hard drives will be offered in capacities ranging from 120 to 200 GB and will be available this July. To ensure quiet operation in noise-sensitive desktop/work station environments, Western Digital offers hard drives equipped with optional fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motors.
"Hard drive manufacturers are providing incredible levels of performance and capacity to the PC market, as well as to today's emerging markets demanding massive local storage such as personal video recorders," said Mark Geenen, president of TrendFocus, a research firm specializing in the data storage market "Western Digital successfully focuses on the highest capacity and highest performance EIDE hard drives, and delivers another first with 200 gigabytes."
"Continued demand for the exceptional performance of 7,200 RPM hard drives at the highest capacities makes these hard drives an ideal choice for computing needs that range from top-of-the-line desktops and work stations to high-end IDE applications such as entry-level enterprise servers," said Richard E Rutledge, vice president of marketing for Western Digital.
If you have the motivation, drive and skill set you can overcome some age restrictions by being your own boss. Form your own company. You'll be making more money so you can outsource the work you hate to do (like billing and book keeping) and it's hard to fire the boss.
Just like certifications are a foot in the door, owning your own company shows you have a level of maturity and commitment to a cause that many of your peers do not. Down the road it might even turn into the best finiacial idea you ever had!
As long as you put forth a mentally mature attitude you can go wherever you want when your the boss.
You'll still have trouble renting a car, most banks won't give you a loan unless you're fairly wealthy already, and running your company out of your parents house is bit odd but overall I feel the benefits far outweigh the ills.
I just bought a Rio 800 as part of the Audible.com deal. It's working wonderfully and I'm very happy with my purchase but I did find the whole 'can't copy off the device' thing a bit of a pain for all the normal reasons. I'll admit I might use it to move music the SDMI is trying to stop me from moving. However, I cannot see how the SDMI can stop me from moving my own voice from the device! The Rio 800 has a built in voice recorder which I use to record conference proceedings and meetings with clients. While I can listen to them in my car or via headphones I can't download it to my computer (where I might want to email them to the other participants.)
This seems totally unfair. Does the SDMI really mean to prohibit me from this as well?
A previous poster had a suggestion for people who had a musical background. This method could work for those who know a language that does not use the roman alphabet (uses letters A-Z -- Most Asian, Greek, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Aramaic?, Phoenician!)
Obviously this is somewhat subject to a dictionary cracker but the spellings are usually based on phonetics so precise translations are tricky in non-roman languages. With slight modifications you can assure the words wouldn't show in a dictionary attack.
In my case I was learning Japanese The word for boy is pronounced otoko-no-ko I didn't use the hyphens if they were part of the word but I suppose that would help the quality. This happens to be something of a compound word but you can experiment in your language.
The result will not produce root qualiity passwords -- they'll be all alpha, but the products can easily be long if you use a sentence ( watashi-wa-gishi-desu - I'm an engineer ) making cracking that much harder.
Add some spice here and there ( begin and end with important dates ) and pow! Fairly strong, easily remembered passwords.

Is it a rule that the Wired cover story will be posted as a Slashdot story about two weeks after subscribers get their copies?
Now I know how to get Slashdot to post one of my stories! Just wait... only 21 more days till the next issue........
