and too avoid....i am tihnking for lunch to have an in and out burger, just to say I have had one.

If you have any interest in Pakistani food, try a place called Shalimar at 3325 Walnut Ave in Fremont.

Be forewarned, today is the start of Ramadan so the place is a madhouse at sunset and i'm not sure they are open before. Definitely go later but it's one of my must-dos every time i'm in the area, I was actually there last night. :)

Also, this place in Berkeley. It's buried in the back of Berkeley with the warehouses and they have weird hours and aren't open late, but it's good.

Beyond that, there is a really good Malaysian place in the 99 Ranch Market plaza in Milpitas off the 880.

There's also an amazing Thai restaurant up by SFO, I can dig up that info if you'd like.

I answered, too. :p

Row44 isn't operating the satellites from what I can tell, just manufacturing the radio systems. So it should last. Of course, only time will tell.

They better not be operating the sats, that is the biggest boondoggle of expense there!

We still have iridium, connextion, and other sats fully operational, and in only limited use by military/private contract and a few enterprises. Kuband(and others) is powerful and vast in its spectrum available, no need to make your own solutions.

I am a bit curious who they are using in the backend there, I'd not be a bit surprised to learn it is spacenet/gilat.

In and Out Burgers are ok, nothing special. I find their french fries so-so, as I prefer McDonald's or Wendy's.

I know who I am asking for restaurant advice next time I go to SFO. This post is getting bookmarked!

ETA - And thank you for helping me up out of a number of flower-beds and hedges in D.C. :D

Ahh many thanks. I love Pakistani, Indian, Thai all :) if you can remember a name of the thai place would be great, the GPS can lookup the address.

Six 16lb bags of ice not enough for mother in laws beverage spread - I can see myself being asked to mule icebags the rest of the day.
