Wow, that would make it totally useless where I am, then. There are *no* clear channels in my neighborhood (townhouses), from either where my router is, or where my laptop is, or what my phone can see. The router would constantly be shutting off... My currently solution is 2 separate WRT54G(S) routers, same SSID, different channels, different floors of the house...

Agreed. In fact, just last weekend this happened to me, though I wasn't on-call... The multi-rack APC UPS that covers our entire DC had a fault that managed to trip several breakers, fry 83 of 114 batteries, and take everything off-line...at 12:30 AM on Saturday. Apparently my boss and coworkers were trying to call me from about 3:30 AM on, with a director even driving to my house, ringing the doorbell, and pounding on the door. I slept through it all, waking up around 12:30-1:00 PM on Saturday. The amazing thing is my wife, who wakes up when a floorboard squeaks, also managed to sleep through it. Somehow, so did the dogs.

...so instead of just complaining, they could fix it and offer the patch back to Oracle.

I do believe that people who complain about problems in the Linux kernel and other open source products are often told to do just that. Why expect others to do as you say, if you won't do the same?

Undead? You surely mean Deadites...

Even Alien Apocalypse? I thought I was the only person who watched that SciFi Original...

is a whole NecroComicCom for more information on works like these...

Hail to the king, baby...

The toilet. Duh.

That's what I had... Compaq Deskpro 8088... I almost miss the days of booting off a floppy to play Moon Patrol...

Am I the only person who always left Turbo on, unless I was playing an older game that used timing loops?

And supposedly even AT&T is going to loosen the reigns about that, what with the growing Amazon App Store for Android... (or just root your phone)
