Will my robot insurance cover this?
Reading personal attack into regular language is textbook paranoia.
And therefore it is right at home on Slashdot.
On a more serious note, I live in an urban high-rise apartment building and get terrible Wi-Fi reception. While baby monitors and other 2.4 GHz devices may share some of the blame, my hunch is it has more to do with the 30-or-so Wi-Fi networks my computer can see (and however many it can't). I just switched most of my home network to olde fashioned wires, and things are running much more smoothly.
On two trips, we paused the game for a moment and walked away to do something. A week later, I come home from my trip and find the game still paused. Whoops! This works great... until you try to use the system again. Nasty error code and a $100 fix from Nintendo to get the drive to work again.
Don't leave the disc on!
Or just lay off the 10,080 minute movies.
Some people don't like to have half a dozen devices connected to their TV's if one device is capable of performing most of those tasks.
Certainly no one on Slashdot! That's grounds for having your geek card revoked.
On a related subject, I've also wondered why they target ads to kids anyway. They can't drive, don't have much money and from my experience if I whined and pleaded with my dad to buy me something I saw on TV I generally got sent to my room.
Are you kidding? Child marketing is a huge industry. Coincidentally, I'm pretty sure Dante reserved one of the lower circles of Hell for child marketers.
This is the text I got on my cruise a couple of months ago:
AT&T Free MSG: Int[upside down question mark]l data rate of $.0195/KB applies. Unlimited domestic data rates do NOT apply when outside the U.S. Details: att.com/wirelessinternational.
I may have gotten it at one of the ports, rather than via the ship. Of course AT&T was nice enough to send me the free text after sending me a regular text from a friend, right when I turned my phone on.
If it's as obnoxious as Fludd, I'll pass.
I don't even know where the anti-France thing comes from. I just view it as a funny running joke.
It all boils down to the freedom fries.
I was going to comment that AOL disks might be collectors items someday. Apparently some people think they already are.
Serving coffee on aircraft causes turbulence.
