This is news?

Someone could probably make a lot of money be going back and writing firmware updates for older routers that could potentially work with the new standard.

Unfortunately, elementary students are often wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_%28continent%29

"The Australian continent is the smallest and lowest-lying of the Earth's continents, having a total land area of some 8,560,000 square kilometres. Though the Commonwealth of Australia occupies much of the continent and is often mistaken for being the entire continent, Australia and adjacent islands are connected by a shallow continental shelf covering some 2,500,000 square kilometres including the Sahul Shelf[2][3] and Bass Strait and half of which is less than 50 metres deep.

As Australia the country is largely comprised of a single island, and comprises most of Australia the continent, it is sometimes informally referred to as "the island continent", especially for marketing purposes. [4] Pedagogic simplification also results in many school children being taught that the continent and the country are synonymous, resulting in the misconception being perpetuated."

I like this.

Last two times I flew was to St. John's, NFLD and back from Halifax, NS.

On the way there I had a paid or manicure scissors removed from my carry-on bag, as if their 1 inch blade was going to allow me to hijack a plane. The other things in the very same case that they took the scissors were in included tweezers, a nail file, and some small gouging instrument of undetermined use; all of which would be more harmful if I were to be committing a felony.

On the way back my carry-on bag was fully unpacked, and then repacked, by security for reasons unknown. As far as I can tell the guard was making sure that I packed the two beers in my bag safely so they wouldn't break, as when I got back to Halifax pretty much everything soft in my bag was wrapped around those two bottle.

I understand that Newfoundlanders enjoy their beer, but that seems a little bit obsessive.

Airport security removing dangerous items from passengers seems like it would make hijacking a plane easier if you were able to get something past them, as no one will have anything to fight back with.

I think that they should release versions of all of the classic controllers form all of the original systems in the original stylings. I would buy one for NES, SNES, N64, and probably Genesis too, just to have the original experience. I don't care if they're true wireless, plug into the Wiimote, or plug directly into the console.

I really need a new TV, but if I win this I can save the money I was going to spend on a next-gen system and buy that instead. Nothing like hooking up a brand new won Xbox 360 to a 12 year old CRT.

Two of the guys at work and one at school have them. I'm jealous.

Why not just buy something like this? It's much cheaper. The link is even in CDN.

So people who plan to get kidnapped will buy this phone? I don't think I understand the target market.
