If you are glisading down Mount Rainier - know your ice-axe arrest

There is a quote by a French author that states that the average person does not know what to do with their life yet wants another one which will last forever

No there isn't. If you don't know what you are talking about, why do you open your mouth? Mexican proverb If you don't open your mouth, the flies won't get in

Isaac Asimov posited that if there was a god - the place to put the evidence was in PI.

Consider best way to get a 'true' random number is to use a pseudo-random number to point to digit in PI and use that number to find a digit in PI. So if PI is completely random then what better place for proof to show up.

Okay but not all designs will keep you in the gene pool.

Statistically red cars have more accidents then yellow cars.

A side note:
A lot of fire departments have switched their trucks to a yellow color, away from the customary red.

I don't think so -- there is no study that is able to link car color to accidents (though on study turned up silver cars being safer - but here in the NW a silver car would disappear into the fog.

I could not believe that yellow fire truck bit but sure enough, a quick google showed me some cities are switching/did switch to yellow trucks - NYC did but are switching back because the yellow does not show up well against snow and were difficult to see at night because of the yellow wash-out caused by the sodium-flair street lights. So for firetrucks, red may not be a good color but it seems to beat the alternatives.

I think I screwed up the installation of my NetGear WG602v2 wireless access point. I followed the installation guide (configured my pc with the ip address of the WG602, connected the wg602 to the ethernet port, connected to the wg602 and logged in) up to the step "click the IP Settings link and configure the IP Settings according to your network setup." Here is where I think I made my mistake -- I changed the IP settings to my network ip settings. I immediately lost connection to the wg602 and I have not been able to connect back to it. MY question is how do I undo this? I have installed the installed the adapter into a laptop and it sees the signal from the wg602 but there is no communications. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do from here?
