Hey, I need opinions on the Micron. I have the chance to get a brand new one for $850, I've never jumped one, and need to decide today Have one? What do you think? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Where is it that says if you shoot someone in your bathroom, there's pretty much no questions asked? I think anywhere else though, and you could be in trouble..... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Huh... I wondered why he wanted me to install at webcam at SGC... he said it was to 'just test it out' and to 'keep it hidden so no one tries to steal it' - it all makes sense now! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

yeah, in my case, I don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy next to me. Granted, in most corporate settings, that's not the attitude to have. Internally, my network isn't just wide-open... so even if they do get access to the WAP, they can't just start walking through the network. I'm actually more worried about people arriving via my (now) always on internet connection then driving past my house (on a cul-de-sac) and findin my wap. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

yup, using 128bit WEP, changed the SSID, and will be setting up the MAC access list here shortly. You're only getting in here is you really really want to. If someone wants to sit outside my house that long and hack on it, they deserve to get to my MP3 collection it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

friend of mine extended the range with some wire and pvc pipe... works rather well..... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

you're a peach.... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

try a different channel or something.... I set my parents up with a 'cheap' linksys - the WAP is upstairs, I took their laptop outside (brick house) and about a half block away and was still getting good signal. Maybe try external antenna too. Can't test the range on this cheap netgear just yet, it's cold and there's 3 inches of snow outside it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

802.11b pc card - laptop it's a new toy... I"m sure the entertainment value will wear off soon enough it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

yeah, I'm a geek... so? I'm entertained by this - wireless access, and I'm no longer on dial-up. This is pretty damn cool. And before anyone says "Get a life.... why are you posting this at 3:30am!? - I've already been out tonight.... trying to setup a wireless access point/router, complete with proper WEP settings, is more fun slightly intoxicated it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I'm making a stipulation in my will that all my gear, and my life insurance policy goes to Erk - with the condition that he never speak to you again. He'll do it too, he's a greedy bastard... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

If you peeps could change one thing about your looks, what would it be?

Oh geeze... then mine tell people I'm accident prone or something! Let's see, I have a small scar (can't really see it unless you look for it) over my eye, that I actually never knew what it was from until recently - evidently I hit my head pretty good when I was 1 or 2 years old. You might even still be able to see the scar on my tongue from when I had stitches in it... I don't think scars really stay around on your tongue though. I have a couple beauties on each side of my ankle from my tib/fib. I still have a small mark on my arm from when a pencil stuck in it when I was a kid.... Man... I hope I never have a kid like me... between all that, and drowning, and taking a bottle of asprin, and burning myself, and trying to drive a car at age 4.... how am I still alive? And how does my mother have any hair left?! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality -
We used to do that too.... we were mean about it! We start with the usually rules like, "can't say drink drank or drunk" "can't use anyone's name" "can't point" "have to tap your glass on the table before every drink" Then we'd move on to "can't use any word that starts with the letter 'D'" and "before you drink, you have to stand up and turn around three times" So, now you have a bunch of drink, dizzy people who take 3 minutes to get a complete sentance out because they're thinking about every word. And someone would throw in "Ok, every time Bill has to take a drink, Ted has to drink 3!" -- we eventually outlawed those types of rules. And we couldn't ever keep track of who made what rule, so the only way to get rid of the rules was to make three in a row and make a rule that all the previous rules were done. Why isn't the "Top out the Breathalizer" game on there?? We recently discovered that the breathalizer in the bar down the street will not read any higher than .30 it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

OMG! I really shouldn't skim posts when I haven't had enough coffee... I heard it as something about the hair on your ass getting knotted up it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality -
Does this sound like a certain dz.com professor?

haha! good timing! I got this in my inbox today: --- A Christmas Story from an engineer's point of view... There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions (except maybe in Japan), this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million kids (according to the population reference bureau). At an average rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he works east to west (which seems logical). This comes out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them---Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). A mass of nearly 600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, subsequently exposing each pair of reindeer behind them to the same fate while creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 mps in .001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 G's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim considering all the high calorie snacks he must have consumed over the years) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now. Merry Christmas! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality -
