2/4     after all is said and done, what the hell was mlife?
        \_ at&t wireless' new brand. i'm trying to figure out what makes it
           so different from services readily available. http://www.mlife.com wasn't
           too helpful.
        \_ From what I can tell it's that
           mlife : att wireless as cingular : pacbell wireless.
                \_ cingular is not just pacbell/sbc fyi
        \_ A way to confuse wireless with life insurance?
           http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/56770_mlife02.shtml
        \_ After spend millions on the superbowl commercial, when I
           logged on and try to find out what mlife was, the web server
           was down for the good part of the game.  Good work.
           \_ Maybe the commercial worked too well and attracted too many hits.
           \_ "That *was* stupid, Bob."
           \_ NO, you logged on?! Now THEY win...

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer
        1 ping computer 2?  both computers are connected to wireless network
        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

11/11   Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
        exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
        minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
        two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
        and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
        know about the transfer between the two computers right?

5/31    I have a slow wireless router and slow fileserver on my network.
        Is there a video or media player (windows or unix) that is smart
        about caching content while playing it?  I would like to be able
        to hit play on a file from a file share, wait for it to catch
        up for a while because my connection is so slow, walk away for
        a while and come back and view my movie with no annoying skips. thanks.

After negotiations at federal court in Manhattan, MetLife agreed that AT&T could air the ads tomorrow, AT&T said it would withdraw a trademark application, and the two sides said they'd meet next week. AT&T Wireless has been airing the ads for "mlife" on television, in print and at some airports, in anticipation of its formal introduction during the Super Bowl. AT&T Wireless is trying to create a new identity with consumers after being spun off from AT&T Corp. The campaign is designed to promote AT&T Wireless voice and data services. The ads end with the line, "We are meant to lead a wireless life. Welcome to mlife," AT&T Wireless said in announcing the campaign this morning. We're delighted to be moving forward with our campaign," said AT&T Wireless spokesman Mark Siegel. In its suit, MetLife said the AT&T Wireless campaign for "mlife," also spelled "mLife," has a "similar look and theme" to MetLife advertisements. MetLife ads "address issues such as enhancing life significance in an emotional way as do the current 'mlife' ads," MetLife said in a statement.
