2/20    Is it the case that north amercia and the rest of the world have
        incompatible wireless lan standard?  I ask because I read an
        announcement from socket comm. that one has to choose between
        a NA and a rest-of-the-world version for their CF wireless LAN card
        now due to FCC regulation.
        \_ Here's a summary of the rules.  It's mostly compatible...
           Notice that the max power outputs are more restrictive in other
           countries.  Not that you'd get arrested for using a higher-power US
           WiFi card.  The only channel PITA seems to be if you travel regularly
           between France, Mexico and Israel.

           \_ thanks.  So recently FCC increase the allowed power output?
        \_ Slightly off-topic, but I just bought a Linksys WRT54G router with
           open-source firmware and it is tha shiznit.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

        Google Wave No More. The people who worked on it were pretty smart.
        They wrote up a super awesome OKR with extremely low bar as a measure
        of success, exceeded everyone's expectations by going above those
        bars, and got big fat bonuses and promotions as a result of their
        planning. Brilliant.

        \_ Wow!  And the first VoIP phone!  Notice that the fans on that
           hardware look just like the fans these days.

6/3     Any phone geeks on here?  I want to get a new smartphone, preferably
        with wifi, touchscreen, and 3.5mm headphone jack.  I don't plan to pay
        the monthly $$ for a data plan though, since wifi is good enough for
        me.  That rules out the iPhone due to AT&T's policies.
        Maybe I should get some sort of Nokia N-series.
        \_ Wait one week and get a pre?
