You have to pay to enter the United States too. Whether you are entering with a visa or without (Tourist from Visa Waiver Country), you have to fill in an I-94 or I-94W form.
I am wondering if cell phones will even work. There is quite a Doppler effect to take into account. The frequency shift can be quite big and cell phones are usually designed to work up to certain speeds.
Then, the elevation changes things... but that would require some hard data that I don't have and a little bit of trigonometry...
Hi all,
Both Yahoo mail and GoDaddy-hosted websites were unreachable as of 11am PST until about 12:30pm.
Regarding the GoDaddy website, first it looked like the DNS requests timed out. When they went back up, the hosting servers were not working.

This is something that puzzled me for a long time. For simplicity, let's consider only one value and you want to know if it's greater than zero. You have a flurry of independent measurements, and you estimate the mean and standard deviation of *one* measurement to be 1 and 10 respectively.
But the mean of all the measurement of, say, 10000 people, you keep a mean at 1 but the standard deviation goes to 10 / sqrt(10000) = 0.1. We have significance!
Now, they report the standard deviation of *one* person, because you are not interested in a measurement of variation that depends on your sample size. But when it comes to significance, you do take into account the fact that you have many samples, and actually, the more you have, the easier it is to be significant.
Was I clear?
Another problem is the Doppler effect that causes a shift in the frequency. This can be adjusted but current cell phones (GSMs) are designed to work at speed up to 100 mph (relative to the tower) and planes just go too fast.
Hi all,
Yes, the main problem is trusting someone. I run a node myself and I can monitor what people do. I only give the login information to a handful of people and clearly post the rules(i.e. no porn). Sure, it has a slight risk, but this is something I am willing to do.
So far, I have had people in Myanmar and China checking out Wikipedia (for dissident groups or Star Trek information), blogs, newspapers, etc...
Sure, Tor is technically better, but this one has also a few advantages. The main one is that people in oppressed countries do not have to install any software. This is very good because their computer does not look suspicious and their government does not have any download to block. Second, you have to remember that many people in, say, the U.S. could not install Tor by lack of technical skills. Can you imagine people who have been kept in the dark by their government for years? Plus, what's the point of making it harder for people? The more people are able to bypass the firewalls, the better.
I have one node available. If you private message me (and tell me your country), then I may have an open spot.

One can also stop the flow of pre-approved credit cards with an opt-out system similar do the do-not-call list.

It worked very well for me.

See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_visas
"TN-1 applicants at land ports-of-entry must also pay a modest I-94 fee."
and http://www.oiss.msu.edu/depts_visasTN.php
"the $6 fee for each I-94 card"
This fee is already included in the ticket, but if you enter by land, you probably have to pay it.
Actually, it is not that simple: http://www.cwt.vt.edu/faq/gsm.htm The spill-over frequency will deteriorate the signal and there are also issues with TDMA. It looks like the GSM is only rated for 250 km/h (although it may work at higher speeds) http://www.ee.ed.ac.uk/~pmg/DIGICOMMS/4.mobile.ps Special specifications have been created for high speed trains: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM-R

Or use PAR2? It's free.

For those who live in the U.S.:
You can get your 5+4 ZIP Code:
