Just How HOT Are My Chiles?
In 1912 a chemists by the name of Wilbur Scoville, working for the Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company, developed a method to measure the heat level of chile peppers. The test is named after him, the "Scoville Organoleptic Test". It is a subjective dilution-taste procedure. In the original test, Wilbur blended pure ground Chiles with sugar-water and a panel of "testers" then sipped the solution, in increasingly diluted concentrations, until they reached the point that the liquid no longer burned their mouths. A number was then assigned to each chile pepper based on how much it needed to be diluted before they could no longer taste (feel) the heat.

Wireless Network Access Point (WNAP)
Set Up Guide
You'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Let's say that again (say it out loud) ... you'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Most wireless devices are geared towards the small office / home office (SoHo), and home user environments. As a result, a wireless signal typically propagates past your immediate house (especially if you live in Toronto, where many property lot sizes are about 20 feet in width). Picking up the signal with a good PCMCIA 802.11b card (such as Lucent's Orinoco series, undoubtedly the best card out there in many people's opinions) is easy on either adjoining property. If you wish to exceed that range you'll no doubt need an external antenna connected to your PCMCIA card for it to be of real use to you.
