The prices look a bit high compared with WiFi, but Dick Smith have a USB adapter at some shops, at about $28 which is a bit more reasonable. Buty it looks as if they are not getting any more. It looks like one of those "standards" which didn't make it. However, it might have fewer security problems than WiFI. If you're the only one using it, no-one's going to be able to tap in. :D |

I have never had anyone say to me "Yeah, beauty fridge, does everything we want apart from surf the net" Madness, Pure freakin madness. Last time I checked they were just meant to keep our pork fresh so we didn't have to constantly die from food poisoning and have to classify it as evil and unclean so as to stop the dumb slobs eating the rank meat. |

| 393221 | 2005-10-04 04:38:00 | Hi Metla. While you are thinking about fresh pork and such like - I read this daft piece in a UK paper today..... NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff. Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan. Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean. Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: “It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.” |
