I am definitely not a fan of bandwidth for the sake of bandwidth, but 1.5 megabit down and 128k up is not sufficient for basic service. I smell someone covering their collective recti over taking the governments money for real broadband, then not providing it.

640k ought to be enough for anybody… Oops 1.5 megabit should be enough for anybody

You might have to hurry to catch the sales… ;-) 

ThinkGeek:Stuff for Smart Masses

I have looked in on the neutrino shifts over the last couple of years. I do not believe this is anything new, but is good explanation of neutrino disappearance.

From Cnet News: Pork barrel technology projects on the rise

I love the spray paint simulator… 

I can see the ad campaign now, "What phone would Judah Macabee
use?"  How about another ad showing the zealots at Masada ordering
pizza with their kosher phone while fending off the Romans?  Maybe Moses calling in an order for parting the Red Sea?

Too bad Johnny Cochran didn't live to witness the singular beauty of the 'Shania Twain' defence.

ScienceDaily: Asleep Or Awake We Retain Memory

You have to admit that the brain is THE Coolest toy! 

Ok, everybody has heard all the buzz, But nobody seems to agree on what web 2.0 really is.

I’m noticing an alarming lack of science in the Time magazine cover story. To answer the only specific measurement sited as causal in the article, it appears we could make large islands of reflective mylar in the ocean and the earth would stop warming…

Beta site set up to help people identify files on their Windows computers by the filename. Whatisthatfile

I’ve always just typed the file name in a search engine (seems safer with more than one source). YMMV…

ZDnet Executive Editor David Berlind wants everyone to stop buying DRM CRAP. A little cutsey and not very informative. I couldn’t resist posting, since the video is only available in Real Player or Windows Media Player format (both are based on, and are full of CRAP).

Interesting issue “Everybody deserves the right to a better life” however these rights are granted by our constitution. I’m not sure that constitutional rights protect illegal immigrants.

British defense concern is making ready to test a Scramjet engine this Saturday. After mlaunching the engine on a rocket they will have six seconds to monitor performance before it hits the ground.

I think the statement about the potential for super fast air travel is a bit overblown. There does not seem to be any demand for ramjet engines for the same task.

At least it was not D&T. ;-)

This Link will change, but you should be able to find it here sometime in the future. It was dated March 13th 2006.

Former BellCo employee laments the death of a well known, friendly, neighborhood telco.

Well there ya go. Another cost added option will be passed on to the internet consumer. I wonder if we can go to the FCC and ask where all the extra bandwidth we paid (via our taxes/telco tax breaks) for has been put?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Patently Silly – The Humor of Invention.

This site is a keeper…

XYZ computing is building a Mini-ITX based PVR, built on Ubuntu Linux and Myth TV.

I might try to put together something like this over the summer…

I wonder if the ID information sent to the Telcos from IP vendors will become a regulated datastream.
