I'm posting this through my $60 100Mb/100Mb AT&T fiber connection from my small town. Should we not credit Google Fiber for rattling the cages of the giants ISPs through competition threat to get them to move forward on products like these? I do.
Correct, oil surveys are not performed using the same electro-transducer SONAR you find on Subs, they use high pressure air gun arrays which are an order of magnitude louder than SONAR. I've stood near a single air gun transducer fire on its lowest pressure setting and it was disturbing. I'm not surprised there could be a link.
"We don't have the exact details of the WiFox scheme/protocol, but apparently it increased the throughput of a 45-device WiFi network by 700%, and reduced latency by 30-40%."
And what makes this different than Quality of Service (QOS)?
I'm sorry, his 'apology' is anything but and it offers no explanation to his actions or his emails including this one: “Hi, so you think by removing all my access across the infrastructure was going to be a great idea? We had a chat yesterday, you’ve decided to end this bitter. How about I just change the DNS entries right now. CM will practically go down.” What context could that have been taken out of that doesn't implicate this guy as a horrible, immature person? Either CM is making that quote up or he got the negative attention he deserves and is trying to save face.
I do the same kind of thing through my navy job... http://www.sciencebrothers.org/
Whacky Scientists though, not super heroes. I feel its kind of cheap to present STEM in a "fiction" way. Conflict of messages maybe?
I wanted to know if the advantage were long-term or short. And, as I've been out of school for longer than the average slashdotter's been alive, it's only a case of satisfying my curiosity.
I'm not sure about the long term, but i have witnessed first hand the same person studying with and without Adderall and the difference is scary. When on Adderall knowledge retention becomes increased ten fold and immunity to distractions becomes perfect. It reminds me of movies where you see super geniuses recite any line from a book read in the past.
I just finished up undergraduate classes as an electrical engineer, and I would say the majority of people in my department used Adderall to help them study longer. Those people all ended up with better GPA's for it.
Any chance you go to a Florida school? Because as soon as i saw this article, i was going to post exactly what you said.
I can count at least half of my BSEE graduating class that used Adderall for every test, and they always got better grades because of it.
I'm not going to argue it won't hurt them down the road, but guess what, their drug inflated GPAs are getting them jobs now in this bad economy while the honest are struggling. How is this not a form of cheating?
Not Off topic. Anon is correct.
This was on Slashdot before. This is a repeat news item and a waste of Slashdot space. Can the reviewers wake up please?
Glad someone beat me to posting this. I was going to call sheninagans as not only does T-mobile support tethering, if you call and ask them, they will walk you through setting it up, as they did with me. Something is fishy with google's claim.

Now it would be great if American Airlines could also install some better customer service for their customers too...

SG-1 Will take care of it no doubt.

His Twitter: https://twitter.com/MrADeveci He's claiming misunderstanding. Anyone buy it? Anyone?

Anyone remember trying to turn on their Zune 3.5 years ago? That didn't work so well either.
Damn you internets. I'm already doing this and the parent's idea right now for my wedding invitations. It fits, I did propose to my fiancee on a circuit board.
People are complain on twitter about him taking down UPS.com too. I only get a DNS error from them. This has to be a DNS hack.
Does it steal your identity too?
"Osama found and killed after details of his location were stolen from the Playstation Network."
What do you expect? It's all the Sony Kool-Aid drinkers.
Sweet. Can we voluntarily attend it just to remove the two strikes we've had on our account for 6 years? I'd like the option to post unlisted back.
I'm already building it, though differently then you suggested and scaled down for indoor demonstration. FWIW, I'm the guy that wrote the Arduino PS2 controller library he is using. http://www.billporter.info/playstation-2-controller-arduino-library-v1-0/
The AP he used was a Netgear WNDAP350. There was a typo in the article.
...I won't really miss Gears. Since right now Offline Gmail uses Gears, I don't want it to go away.
It is. That's more like a 250 or 500 KV line.
It's cheating because they are abusing an ILLEGAL performance enhancing drug. All the users i knew of did not have prescriptions.
Caffeine is not illegal, so those who have a good moral base are still on the same playing field as those who do not.

Sounds like a repeat of DVDXCopy. That tool only let you make one copy i believe; and it lost the legal battle.
