How can you say it's of no interest to potential employers? This guy has demonstrated his expertise with Xilinx design, and, last time I looked, that was a marketable skill.
Bought it for Christmas last year. It frequently hangs, requiring a power disconnect to reset it (must physically pull the plug, as it can't be turned off.
"Even legitimate business' messages are not being looked at because of the get-rich-quick schemes and pornography and so forth," Jerry Cerasale, the DMA's vice president for government affairs, said in a telephone interview Monday afternoon.
I have to ask: what kind of legitimate business advertises via UCE? Opt-in is THE way to go.
Have you guys ever watched what's on TV? Just what makes you think I would pay a cent more to see the same crap in HD/Digital?
Yes, there is the odd good show, movies, and such, but most of the good stuff is on premium channels...guess what? They're on cable, not broadcast TV. So, why should I invest in a premium over-the-air receiver? The content just isn't there. And no, I don't want to see the same commercials in high definition.
Hopkinton State Park. Minimalist Field Day, come and see what we're doing. Drive around the loop road 'till you see our banner.
Why am I a ham? Because it's a ticket to play on the radio bands. I've built my own radios (nothing gives a thrill like putting together some R, L and C components, a couple of transistors, and actually communicating with someone across town!) I've built an APRS tracker (www.findu.com), used thrown away computers to send data over HF with PSK-31, listened to the space shuttle and ham satellites.
Hams are a lot like any other hacker type: kinda geeky, spend all their spare money on gear, like to play with new stuff. There's a tradition, in the ham hobby, of volunteerism. Hams have the ability to use a large number of radio frequencies, and they can hop between them as needed. This can come in handy when other groups run out of capacity on their allocated frequencies. My ham club works road races, parades, walk-a-thons and other civic events. We volunteer ourselves and our radio gear to make life easier for everyone involved.
Plus, it's an excuse to get outside and play with electronics!
Look, your exisiting company doesn't want to pay you a fair wage. You've forced them to. Now, who do you think is going to be #1 on the list for the next RIF?
I'd say, unless you *really* trust these guys, go with your initial decision and start the new job. They want you, and at a price *they* chose. Your current company is going to be thinking they're paying you twice what they should be.
...you're supposed to follow the secret reflective marks on the *backs* of the signs!

Get a good lawyer and sue them for false arrest. Maybe a complaint to civil rights office in your state? Make 'em sorry they did that to you, as they had no cause at all.
GPS and CDPD. It's used to track trucks. Do a web search and any number of CDPD modems, costing around $600, some with integrated GPS, will show up. Send a command TO the modem, and activate the relay attached to the ignition. Piece of cake.
Ham radio operators do the same thing on 144.39 MHz., using something called APRS. Lo-Jack is obsolete, or will be shortly.
They found "type III" behavior (LED state reflects data state) in only two Cisco routers of all they tested. Most modems DID exhibit "type III" behavior, so tape up the remote management modem lights, but no need to tape up each LAN card.
Israel, I believe uses GSM. Which means they have GPRS (General Packet Radio System) service. UNLIKE here in the US, where most of us assumed (before we read the article) this was happening.
People in Europe are WAY ahead of us in having a cellular phone network that they can actually use.
In the US, it's going to be a while longer...
Sorry, ATTBI's new TOS mentions not having more computers connected than you have "registered" with them. Funny thing was, when I first signed up with them, multiple machines and a Linksys NAT box were fine with them. You could pay for multiple IP addresses, of course, but if you wanted the Linksys solution, that was at the basic price.
I agree, it looks like they're trying to price this on the "cable model", where everyone viewing the "content" needs to pay. As far as I can tell, the flaw is that ATTBI doesn't pay for the content, i.e. the "internet", so they are wrong in claiming they own it. Although, it would take a bunch-o-lawyers to win that one...
They can't. And the DMCA doesn't care whether
you're doing it to build a cheat device or to
make illegal copies...bypassing the security
mechanism is illegal. So, how come the FBI
isn't breaking down their door?
(And does the lack of response to an obvious
violation help in any subsequent cases?)
I couldn't read CNN, I couldn't read Boston Globe,
I couldn't read BBC.
Slashdot kept me informed (so did Sydney Morning
Herald site). I couldn't believe what I was
reading, but at least I could read it.
If there's one thing that sickens me more than the
terrible events of Tuesday themselves, it's the
anti-Muslim attacks. Granted there have been only a few
of these, but there should be NONE! Anyone tempted
to lash out in this way should think about why
they feel that they deserve to call themselves an
American. Then they should ask themselves how
it must feel to be an Arab-American.
Although the article shows pictures of a Dell,
nowhere in the artcle are there specific
techniques or references to specific Dell models.
It basically says that you can change things in
your laptop. I knew that. How to get around the
40 Mbyte limit in the older Dell Latitudes would
have been a bit more useful...I don't think it's
as easy as adding a couple of 128M SODIMMs...
Pretty useless article, IMHO. Now, if we could
just get the laptop manufacturers to stop hiding
the CMOS batteries...they're almost impossible to
replace without completely disassembling the laptop!
Looks like I'll be reading the book. Unless there's a webcast, that the closest those of us
on the East coast will get to this. Shame. My
comapny's releasing their quarterly results the
same day. I'd rather listen to Linus.
>as long as you are not a fedral criminal you have nothing to worry about
Tell your uncle that, after Richard Nixon and J Edgar Hoover's reign, the FBI has got a HELL of a job ahead of them if they plan to convince anyone
of the truth of that statement.
One of the first sci-fi stories I ever read. I see it was originally published in 1962. I must have been about 11. It was a great read, and the idea of an alien intelligence using radio to instruct another race to build a machine made a big impression on me. I recently re-read it, and enjoyed it even more. Thanks, Dr. Hoyle, for the ideas.

First thing I thought when I saw it on the news
:-)
last night, was ASIMO is about as close to ASIMOV
as you can get without infringing any trademarks.
OLIVAW would have been better
Kudos to Honda for (even inadvertantly) acknowledging Asimov.
No TNC is needed, just a sound card and the AGW Packet Engine software.
