- Today, the NYT covers the growth in wireless internet access hotspots, pointing out some websites used to collate and track hotspot locales.

QotD: Death (Dec 06 2003 23:47 GMT) - Question: What's the closest you've come to death? My Answer: I once spun out doing 45 on a highway, across the median (a big grass dip in the road) and across the three lanes of traffic on the other side. It was late at night, and it was raining a bit, so there were very few cars on the road. |
