Helpline Comment (24646) (Dec 05 2003 18:34 GMT) - Will someone tell me what the heck is a SCART monitor? I have been finding references to it but can't find a scart monitor or even a definition at whatis.com. Plenty of links to making cables, though. If possible I will start looking for one for my C= machines. |

Mesh Standards Effort May Soon be Underway (Dec 05 2003 18:33 GMT) - Leaders from Intel and Cisco are trying to start up an effort to standardize 802.11 mesh networking : This is a great idea, but one that not surprisingly isn't supported by current developers of mesh networks. Those companies, including Strix, Firetide, and BelAir argue such an effort would be too difficult. |

Anti-Sharon Cartoon Gets Prize (Dec 05 2003 18:32 GMT) - See now, I'm totally fine with bashing Sharon. But this just goes waaaaaaaay too far and, while not overtly invoking any Jewish imagery, can certainly be construed as antisemitic, because it ignores outright the concerns of Jewish people. To suggest that Ariel Sharon bites the heads off of babies, while turning a blind eye to the violence and bloodshed that Israelis (and often American Jews) endure from terrorism, is straight-up biased and unjust. Palestinian children are not the only children who have died in this conflict. There have been instances where Israeli babies were shot by snipers, or even at point-blank range in their beds at night. |

Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates (Dec 05 2003 18:31 GMT) - Over the last couple of days, I've played Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates for many, many hours. It's an online game where you play the role of a pirate who can have sword fights with other pirates, join a crew, board a ship, and perform various duties there (sailing, navigating, bilging, carpentering etc.). Of course, you can attack other ships, or use ships to trade goods between islands. |
