Comment I've recieved most playing my Rogue on WoW:

"How come you have, like, full health?" (usually after a total party wipe that I survived because I saw it coming like an onrushing TRAIN.)

God, I love Vanish.

No, I'm not that much of a dick, I just use it to Not Die when the inevitable squad of doom finishes off the rest of the party and starts eyeing me.

*chuckle* This game amuses me. I'm going to sleep.

Someone had fun with custom FTP responses.

Wireless Networks

So, ah, has anyone out there had technical issues with a _correctly configured_ wireless network? As best as I can figure, my wireless network is suffering from severe intermittent RF interference. Right now (i.e. this evening when I got home) the only way I can get online is by using a hardline to my wireless router (which is ten feet away), but usually it's just occasional 5-20 second halts in effective network communication. Signal _appears_ to be good, but that's at whatever granularity the OS's tools are monitoring.

I'm used to using netstat and similar tools to debug network issues, but with wireless, all that seems to be out the window. Any clues?

I think this may very well be my first post to the Us list, if I can't figure it out.
