    1 Gb/s over a single crap twisted pair copper on the other hand...

    I'm willing to pay extra for special monstrous wires so that the data has more warmth and power.

    Yes, but the levels of B9 may be benign.

    Why not we go through Russia and not have NSA/GCH worry? We get trojans and botnets, but no NSA/GCH paska.

    Kiitos!

    Just so we know, what are the Russian and Japanese translations of "This is *NOT* cool, man!!!!1"

    You realize that the only reliable way to generate an EMP is with a nuclear weapon right?

    Radar pulses, eh? Cooked internal organs, that's what could go wrong.

    On the TV show Weeds, Andy became sales agent/importer of a bicycle propulsion device that seems to fit the description in this thread. Is it the same device?

    Several variants have been developed that suit specific needs, such as UHF-only, UHF with VHF, and a variety of other local and International requirements.

  11. Re:If you've got good signal, digital is better, b on Final Days For Australia's Analog TV · · Score: 1

    It is all about the payload of that signal. The big Australian media companies are deliberately making sure that the programming they show OTA (Over The Air) in DVB-T digital quality is actually inferior to the quality of the same programming shown over paid-for (satellite, cable) feeds. Typically the subtitles and surround sound are stripped from the OTA signal, and there are claims that downconverting is taking place as well.

  12. Re:Not under the vatican on Google Maps, Lasers Reveal Vatican Catacombs · · Score: 1

    War on metonyms! From now on, you decree that nobody must ever refer to Microsoft as "Redmond" or to any of the various organizations of the U.S. government as "Washington". Let's end the richness of the English language here and now!

    Back to reality. The Roman Catholic Church itself uses the term Vatican as a metonym.

    I was hoping to read what you meant. If you're taking about the Wikipedia article I would say that you could engage in the Talk section regarding improving it, if you haven't done so already.

    Yep, when a newspaper says Putin phoned Washington you find yourself wondering which of millions of people in the State of Washington, Washington, DC, Washington University, etc. etc. he might have been having a nice chit-chat with.

  15. Re:The Gift Of Constantine Makes The Vatican A Fra on Google Maps, Lasers Reveal Vatican Catacombs · · Score: 1

    It was the Roman Catholic church that suppressed the knowledge of the fraud over and over again, yet individuals within and without the Church continued to explore the meaning of the Gift of Constantine since it is so central to the basis of belief in the Vatican.

  16. Re:The Gift Of Constantine Makes The Vatican A Fra on Google Maps, Lasers Reveal Vatican Catacombs · · Score: 1

    I think it "ceased to be relevant a few centuries ago" only to some Roman Catholics. Use words like "cute" all you like, but you'd be unfortunately implying that a major event in the history of the Roman Catholic church and indeed the western world was not worth considering when discussing today's Vatican.

    No, not the Keanu Reaves film, the Gift (or Donation) of Constantine is an acknowledged fraud that the church of Rome used as a pretense for claiming legitimacy of Vatican power:

    Lighten up, Francis.

    I was a very happy N900 owner. In the near future, when I open up the case of my dead N900 to update it to a Neo900 I will be glad to see that the MicroUSB socket does not separate from the mobo. I had not even heard of the Neo900 project up until today (I've been way too busy to follow the Maemo forums too) so if it is me that you are accusing of being a troll you are *wrong*, like in 180 degrees wrong.

    Are you sure there is a description in TFA about how the problem of the original N900's MicroUSB port separating from the mobo (and thus bricking the entire device) is going to be dealt with? I don't mind people pointing out something that I seem to have missed.
