Somsak Saeku, the defendant in my jury duty case, was convicted last week of wire fraud and interstate transportation of stolen goods.
I can’t say I’m surprised: he was acting as his own attorney and while I didn’t hear the evidence, from what I read in the news there was a lot of it. Had I been on the jury I think I would’ve found it very easy to render a verdict.
For the longest time, AT&T/Cingular was the only GSM cellphone carrier available in North Carolina. The only other major GSM carrier in the U.S. is T-Mobile, but the only way you could use T-Mobile here was to order a phone (and phone number) in a neighboring state and use it in roaming mode here. I hoped for T-Mobile as their rates were significantly cheaper than Cingular’s.
A billboard told me T-Mobile now offers service here in North Carolina, which is great. I believe they bought SunCom when AT&T bought all of Cingular.
While I’m happy with my super-cheap pay-per-use mobile plan, I’m glad there is now some GSM competition here in North Carolina.
Alongside the obligatory lose-your-gut articles, the latest issue of Men’s Health ranks Raleigh America’s Most Political City.
MT.Net readers will be happy to know that Raleigh beat out metropolises (metropoli?) like Montgomery, Alabama (#2) and Little Rock, Arkansas (#3) for this honor. It just doesn’t get more exciting than this, folks.
I tried configuring my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel last night but could not get out anywhere. Using ping6 to ping a site such as ipv6.google.com gave me a “network down” message, yet the sit interfaces are up and I can ping HE’s gateway.
I noticed when I configure the tunnel on the HE page that I get packets from their gateway of type PROTO=41. Anyone know what these are all about?
I’ll have to dig into things a bit further when I have more time (i.e., not this week).
