Fromage Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Check out this interesting article in today's New York Times. The grandson of Tenzing Norgay is bringing the internet to Mt. Everest. http://nytimes.com/2003/01/23/technology/circuits/23sher.html?8hpib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromage Posted January 23, 2003 Author Share Posted January 23, 2003 Oops, sorry, it's not Tenzing's grandson, it is "the grandson of the only surviving sherpa to accompany Hillary." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregm Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 as a former new yorker, i quite like these links to the times. the new york times that is of course. and it's so delightful to read the times without killing all those wonderful trees. it is quite simple to create a login, and with those things they call "cookies", automatically relog in just by clicking the link. ah the wonders of technology.

COL._Von_Spanker Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 It seems like every news story someone post has a f'n login. It gets old after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Ah, but then one is giving out more personal information...AGAIN. Watch for the black Suburbans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I'm not worried about the black suburbans, though indeed I think one could make a case for the idea that 1984 is here, but I hate logging in to a site, knowing that all information I give them will be used to send me targetted marketting that my spam filter may not intercept.
