    Hi All, I'll be out of town this week first on business then attending the award ceremony I mentioned earlier. It should be exciting. I'll come report back in about a week! Rumor is they will have invited some celebrities to the event as well.. I'm curious who that might be ;)

    Why must everyone drive like zombies?

    Well, the answer to your specific question of course, is that once the guy in front is going a certain speed, everyone behind him is forced to go that same speed. :D

    Thanks ;) The secret to being in the top 8, is to apply for a contest that doesn't have too many other submissions :) They had 16 submissions so our odds were 50-50 to be a finalist. We didn't exactly do post-production voice-over, but by asking you probably noticed the audio was a little...

    Cool, thanks for letting me know. I admit it was tough to try to find a cool topic related to calculators. Appreciate the feedback! I've gotten a spread of responses from 'it was the BEST to it was the WORST'. Any suggestions to make it better?

    That's awesome! I'll need to get you to send over your tetris file if you still have it ;) RPN is a dream come true, it's true. And converting back, as you note.... simply awful. It's like going back to a Kia once you drive a Mercedes. Wouldn't we WANT the calculators to be doing all the...

    Definitely, I know exactly what ya mean. When I was about 7 I used my dad's HP calculator to write out the entire multiplication tables up to 100x12 and gave it to my teacher. I didn't even get extra credit for it! I used HP calculators all the way through 3 college degrees, and am especially...

    Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G 802.11g Broadband Router $49.84 AR

    Bridge it???? Please tell me more, can you use the firmware to convert a WRT54G into something more like a WET54G? This would mean the WRT54G could create a wireless bridge to talk directly to my broadband router. Or do you need two WRT54G's talking to each other to make a bridge, then...

    Difference between Linksys WET54G and WGA54G?

    You're right, I made a typo. the WGA11B is $69 at Amazon, and the WGA54G is $99 at Amazon. Thanks for your reply and link, it seems the WGA54G is just a form factor rebadged WET54G in which case I should be quite happy with it.
