Yeah, I wasn't saying holy crap on the water burning, but the radio frequencies making it release Hydrogen to burn. If it can be fine tuned with research, it's a whole different avenue than electrodes.

It suggests a possible new path to hydrogen production, and that's a good thing.

True, but I really want to see someone else repeat the work in another lab before I get my hopes up. Cold fusion, anyone?

I can see where salt water might act as an antenna for radio waves. It's certainly conductive enough.

Gloomcookie, perhaps this might have the solution to your iPod cover art problem: [link] It's about Coverflow, but has instructions on getting cover art onto an iPod. I haven't looked at it in detail so I don't know what they're doing differently....

Odd question - for dial-up, obviously you have to have a phone line, but does it need to be active, i.e., have a dial tone?

If you need to dial, you'll need dial tone.

A modem will listen for a dialtone before it attempts to dial out.

Well, that's nice. I'm fucked then. Comcast doesn't recognize my address and AT&T says it has "no slots available" in my area. I can pick up weak signals from someone's unprotected network and I guess that's it for at home internet for me. Lovely.

WTF? For regular phone service, or for DSL?

I was only looking for DSL, but when I pressed them on that they said either. WTF is right.

I'm pretty sure they're required by law to give you regular telephone service.
