#1 Latifiyah - the "Queen" City of the Sunni dead triangle.

Roll em up! No rest for rebels! Die today to get your steenking raisins, a-holes!

#2 The primary "raging" and "rife" and "onslaught" and "devastating" and "lawless" and "relentless" entity here is the flaming bombastic turgid tumescent AFP bias. And the only named quote comes from the Iraqi FM Zebari, a Kurd who's trying to get the incredibly foolish pouting Sunnis to wake up and smell the coffee. Le journaliste must be a romancier échoué.

#6 Well, it was solo - which suits me 95% of the time, so yeah it was OK. I assuaged any negatives by ordering a new honkin 'puter. Helping out the economy, uh huh, heh. Got a 20" Flat Panel PnP / TV monitor. I'll put Brit Hume on-screen while I harangue the wankers, lol!

#7 I've got a flatscreen 19" HP monitor - I'd rather watch DVD's on that than my Sony and Sharp TVs. Glad you had a good one, even solo.

#8 Cool - I got the dbl-layer DVD burner so I can burn moster backups and save the damned disk from getting clogged up with, uh, um, debris, heh. I want to go wireless, but the decent solution 802.11a routers (I don't want the 2.4GHz band) all have devastating reviews (D-Link, NetGear, and LinkSys/Cisco - all of 'em) - you haven't heard such a racket from pissed off buyers since the original IBM AT 30MB drives died - remember those kluged non-voice coil disasters they made an artifical reef with just off Boca Raton? Lol! Just hop in the Way-Back machine...

#9 we (I and my boyz) use the Linksys 802.11b for their computer (mostly gaming) in their rms and the PS2 net access in the living rm - no problems - almost 2 yrs now

#10 No grief with portable phones, etc. in the 2.4 band? I have zero first-hand - this shit wasn't permitted in the Magic Kingdom so I had to stop my early-adopter habits while there. But, I read quite a few review threads which indicated the G band was unable to reach the amazing high-speed adverts in 2.4 GHZ - prolly due to interference. Y'know, the FCC seems to be pretty screwed up, if you ask me. Oh well. I have B on my laptop, but I would add an A adapter if there was one that anybody liked, lol! B maxes out at 11MBS on paper - what's the real world throughput? I have a 5MB connection and I want it all - costs me enough!

#11 no, and I live in a condo complex. The "b" is fast enough that all three of us can be online with 2 (or 3 heh heh) gaming, with no lag. No experience with "g"
