Laptop for wireless connection

Good Morning, !
It's Monday, January 10, 2011
There sure is a huge difference in how the shooting in Arizona is
reported in the US versus how it is shown in the rest of the world.
In the US it's all about poor Gabby, a two-bit windbag who fought
against the Arizona Law and then in the November election claimed
she was for a stronger federal immigration law (that would try to
do, what the Arizona Law has in it). And of course, the 9 year old,
who was born on 9/11.
In the International press, it's about the assassination of a
top US Federal Judge for the State of Arizona, barely 72-hours
after he made a critical ruling against the Obama administrations
plan to begin the confiscation of their citizen’s private retirement
and banking accounts in order to stave off their nations
imminent economic collapse,
and after having the US Marshals protecting him suddenly removed.
The International press lists the 9 year old, who was born on 9/11,
and Gabby and the other victims as colorful ,innocent bystanders,
but they do mention that the “handler” of the shooter, described
as a white male between 40-50 years old with dark hair,
has disappeared without a trace.
And the Social networking Arm of the Democrats is frantically
trying to blame Sarah Palin, which I find rather funny.
Have FUN!

a breeze, except that they admitted to being momentarily

"How did you answer that last one?" asked Scott. "I was a

Burger King robbery suspect nabbed when cab doesn't wait
Jan 6, 2011
(ELMWOOD PARK) Two men hid in the bathroom of a west suburban
Burger King, then robbed employees at knifepoint Wednesday night.
One of the men is in custody after the cab he was planning to use
for a getaway car did not wait near the scene.
Michael A. Davis, 24, of the 300 block of 25th Ave. in Bellwood, was
charged with two counts of armed robbery in connection with the
incident at the Burger King at 1750 Harlem Ave., according to
Elmwood Park police.
Davis and another man allegedly entered the restaurant about
15 minutes before the 10 p.m. closing time and hid in a bathroom.
A few minutes after closing, they emerged with knives and
demanded employees open the safe and get down on the floor.
Elmwood Park police officer Carlos Rodriguez, the first to arrive
on the scene, said the men stole an undetermined amount of
cash and two cell phones.
“I was a couple of blocks away when the call came in,” Rodriguez
said. “When I pulled up to the scene, the witnesses were outside.
“The witnesses said the offenders headed westbound on
Bloomingdale,” Rodriguez said. “When the other (departments) arrived,
they set up a perimeter and began searching through the yards.”
By 10:22 p.m. Elmwood Park officer Nicholas Ramirez had Davis
in custody following a foot chase that ended in a parking lot on the
1600 block of Harlem Avenue.
Davis allegedly told police he took a taxi from Bellwood and told the
driver to wait at Wabansia Avenue and 72nd Court, Deputy Police
Chief Frank Fagiano said.
“Obviously after 30 minutes, the taxi driver didn’t wait,” Fagiano said.
“Officer Ramirez brought the suspect back to the scene, where he
was positively identified by the witnesses,” Rodriguez said.
Police recovered the stolen cash and phones, which were in a
back pack, and a utility knife, Fagiano said.
Fagiano said the department is following leads on the second
suspect and has turned over the information to the department’s
investigations division.

Re: Wireless laptop
Dear Webby,
I am taking a long journey into the unknown.
As an old man I'd like to communicate both
with Fatimah in Syria and my next of kin here.
A cell phone is out of the question. So my next
choice is a laptop. Having been a pc man I'm
now thrust into my first laptop. So here goes
my questions.
First; as I travel does the laptop automatically
pick up a signal, or do you need a service like
a cell phone.
10/100/1000 Ethernet, 802.11b/g Wireless
802.11a/b/g/n wireless
Which of these two are the better choice?
and what service would allow me to go online no
matter where I am in my travels?
Thank you,
cjw
Dear Chuck
There is not much difference in those specs. All modern
laptops will connect to wireless hotspots.
The problem is that not all hotspots are free. Some are
outrageously expensive!
You will need to sign up with an ISP in Syria. Keep in mind
that Syria is like Alabama. You have hi-tech and high
standard areas right next to very primitive hillbilly areas,
and can't generalize from the distance. You can have
20 - 100 Mbps town wide wireless in one town, and be
lucky to get 14 Kbps dial-up in the next one.
Any modern PC Laptop should do fine, but you yourself
should try to get as much experience connecting to
hotspots and wireless ISPs as possible, before you
go on your trip.
Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Trade Unwanted Stuff With Friends
One person's junk is the next person's treasure.
The things you don't use around the house anymore and that
wind up in a cupboard or garage, may make someone the
happy owner of something they can really enjoy and/or use.
And the cost is nothing.
My friends and I get together once a year and trade stuff.
Anything goes: clothes, dishes and kitchenware, linens,
small furniture, knick knacks, etc. I keep a box in the spare
bedroom closet for those items I don't care for anymore and
know that it will get moved along the next time we have our
get-together.
The fun part is that we enjoy an afternoon together and
come home with "new" stuff that didn't cost a cent. It's
double the fun when you see something of yours being
enjoyed in your friend's home.

"No need for me to come out to the house," the doctor told
the worried caller. "I've checked my files and your uncle
isn't really ill at all - he just thinks he's sick."
A week later, the doctor telephoned to make sure his
diagnosis had been correct. "How's your uncle today?" he
asked.
"Worse," came the reply. "Now he acts like he's dead."
