Anyway, apologies to all for everything.<br><br>Now that we have that out of the way and bygones are bygones, about that meeting for cocktails thing...FloydMon, 11 Feb 2008 21:34:32 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546911@Margaret: Everything must be related, and it's our job to connect the dots. Floyd has culpability for the cable-cutting, so now, we need to lean on him to uncover his co-conspirators. Although, he's a pretty connected guy and could be at fault for all of the above.<br><br>That's easier. Blame Floyd and meet for cocktails.JakeMon, 11 Feb 2008 19:13:29 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546910Hmmm...maybe the severed undersea telecomm cables, last Fall's Storm worm, today's art theft in Zurich and tonight's BlackBerry outage are all caused by an evil-doer<br>who's quietly testing his plan to cripple the entire planet. I love conspiracy theories. And James Bond.Margaret RouseMon, 11 Feb 2008 19:04:32 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546904@Floyd: I think you owe the Interwebs users of the Middle East, India, Pakistan and a whole bunch of other places a sincere apology.JakeMon, 11 Feb 2008 15:26:29 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546908Okay, I guess it's time for me to fess up to the world (and give Jake the scoop). Last time I chartered a boat and went deep sea fishin', I guess I wound up draggin' my bait a little too deep. Thought I might have hooked the Mother of All Marlins, but wound up with a tangled mess of wire... Gotta say,though, that the cable put up one heck of a fight!FloydMon, 11 Feb 2008 13:23:34 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546909Sweet, I'm glad karma allowed you to drop some knowledge. I'll file that nugget away for future use.JakeSat, 09 Feb 2008 01:18:50 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546905I read about it on Gizmodo this morning and had the name of that stupid thing stuck in my head all day. When I saw your post, I couldn't resist ;)<br><br>TylerTyler MuthFri, 08 Feb 2008 23:47:09 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546906@Tyler: Wow, color me embarrassed. In my head, I picture this device to be like the one they use in "Ice Road Truckers" to calculate ice thickness, fancy name, lots of colors and a flashy display.JakeFri, 08 Feb 2008 23:38:28 -0000http://theappslab.com/2008/02/08/my-interwebs-is-wireless/#comment-2546907Jake,<br><br>They use an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer to find the breaks. Seriously, how could you not know that?<br><br>TylerTyler MuthFri, 08 Feb 2008 23:13:45 -0000
