AP - All across the concrete byways of this interstate nation, long-haul truckers are going the extra miles — but it isn't necessarily for heaping plates of hearty fare or hot showers.

Taking the Y out of Wireless


Taking the Y out of Wireless 09/01/2004 08:01 AM

The Divine Fart

« If God has gotten into the petroleum industry, it sure would explain a lot with current world news, now wouldn't it? No one seems to know what this place is as it's always deserted on the inside. »

Another perl person became the father of a daughter in the past few days [congratulations Ken :)] and this is another interesting and corroborating datapoint for a theory I have that I would like to see given some real research. My theory is this:

Men who use Apple iBooks/Powerbooks with wireless cards have a very high probability [>85%] of having female offspring that is far greater than the statistical average.

For the Americans who slept through basic biology classes in grade school, I should explain that the sperm determines the sex/gender, not the mother via excretions of hormones, nor are all embryos female at conception since as far as the genetics are concerned you are either XX or XY at the moment of fertilisation. I started half-jokingly suggesting this idea when a few perl guys had female babies but the trend has continued to the point where there may be something to it. One perl guy who uses an iBook without wireless has a male baby. One guy had a baby boy before he started using a wireless iBook and afterwards he had a baby girl. Coincidence? I'm really beginning to believe that it isn't.

Perhaps it's some sort of karma or divine revenge to give computer geeks who aren't entirely aware of what jerks, intentional or not, they are towards women, but science can't empirically prove that. It is entirely possible that the Y sperm are weaker [typically they are and this is partially why all the woman's eggs are X's, at least this was the theory back in the dark ages when I was in university] and more susceptible to the wireless card radiation which, when the laptop is on the lap, is sitting directly above the family jewels. Bullshit or an emerging pattern of plausible causation? Or maybe a secret conspiracy by women's organisations to breed more women? :) It would be a fascinating clinical study if a few medical people decided to take the theory and try to prove it right or wrong. I, of course, will continue to be very entertained by the baby girls ganging up on perl guys. :)

CNet: The U.N. thinks about taking over the Internet. What I see here is a politician with no platform; politics for the sake of politics. The only semi-concrete issue that's mentioned is some sort of top-down pre-allocation of IP addresses that would cause more shortage problems than it solves. (There is currently no shortage, and thus no problem to be solved.)

Truckers Early Adopters of Tech


Truckers Early Adopters of Tech 06/01/2004 11:13 PM
Solid Washington Post story on truckers' use of Wi-Fi at truck stop hotspots: A few interesting new tidbits include the excellent observation that truckers are always early adopters of technology that has utility to their industry, like GPS and Wi-Fi, and that TruckStop.net reports 10,000 subscribers since October with just a few hundred locations. That's at least a few hundred grand a month, and doesn't count the drop-in users. What the article doesn't mention because it's too speculative is that if you combine a truckers' need of Internet connectivity for business and pleasure with the growing availability of high-speed cell data service, you could find truckers living the multi-modal connectivity life, pulling over at rest stops to use EDGE or 1xEv-DO, and then pulling into truck stops for the applications that need high bandwidth and/or high upload speeds. A little secret about TruckStop.net: a year's subscription averages less than $17 per month, but Boingo Wireless has a deal to aggregate their locations in the Boingo network, although I don't see locations live in the network yet. Boingo charges $21.95 for unlimited access for 12 months and then $34.95 per month thereafter; no cancellation penalties. A smart trucker with a Windows laptop should soon be able to use TruckStop.net and several thousand other locations. [link via Brian Chin]...
