  1. This is very old news on Cable Without Cables · · Score: 1

    A Company called Warp-one.net in Jackson, MS (although their page seems to be down right now???) has been providing wireless internet service here for atleast 5 years. It is not as cheap as you would think...about $150/month for ISDN speeds. It did use equipment very similar to wireless TV and they also provided Wireless cable through their other company Wireless One. They also served many apartment compleses in the area with a wireless T1 and then used 802.11B to connect to an access point that was fed from the T1 for about $40 a month but you were restricted to 30kB up and down, and the server was always up and down (cheap equipment?, I was told they used non-cisco routers to save money and that caused a lot of their problems).

    The service wasn't that great in the apartments, but was good with the home use because it used different equipment. But it was slow and not any better priced then today's cable and DSL. The range on home equipment was 30 miles, so this would be good technology for rural areas, but I don't see rural areas being that profitable because of the limited users for the distance and equipment costs.

  8. What cmdrtaco et al should do... on Slashdot IRC Forum · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot.org is essentially a website that links to news stories that in a short period has grown into a large fan base. Everyone in IT knows that it is very diffuclt to put a meal on the table by running a website alone. What cmdrtaco and the rest of the slashdot moderators, admins, and etc should do is run slashdot.org on their spare time after hours and get regular 9 to 5 jobs. They could make more money by getting regular jobs and working on slashdot on their spare time.

    They could have moderator time slots where moderators work a rotating schedule to scan the stories for ones that should be posted. The slashcode is essentially complete except for ongoing changes to support the new ad based system. So if they got regular jobs they would make more money, still have ad revenue from the banner ad at the top, and they would put slashcode into maintainence mode. It would cut down on the number of headaches, which is always good.

  11. kernel docs? on Breaking Into The World Of Kernel Hacking? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think the kernel docs would be a good starting point.

    cd /usr/src
    wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2 .4.17.tar.bz2
    tar -jxvf linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2
    cd linux/Documentation
    ls |more

    and start reading all the documentation in there. It would probably make a good starting point.

    Plus you should read Kernel Traffic and get on the Linux Kernel Mailling List.

  12. clept tests? on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I believe its called clept tests, where you can take a test on the course and if you pass it, you get credit for the course. Ask a university if you can clept tests and how many courses can you clept. Some schools have it where you have to go manditory for so many years or only allow you to clept so many classes, etc. Maybe you can find a school in your area that will let you clept most or maybe even just about every class and then you'd only need to go there for a couple of semesters to get your bachelors.

  15. History repeats itself on KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This sort of reminds me when I believe it was Andrew Jackson was president and the Supreme Court made a ruling he didn't like, and he said something to the effect of "The Court has made their ruling, now let them enforce it". Because the Supreme Court only has judicial powers, all they can do is decide the outcome of the case, but they have no enforcement powers, and at the time, Andrew Jackson had the power and popularity to enforce his ideas instead of those of the court.

    That sort of reminds me of what Kazaa is doing, to the effect of "The Dutch court made their decision, now lets see them try to enforce shutting us down."

  21. slightly OT: Radio Ads on U.S. Logo-Free TV Broadcast Organizations? · · Score: 0

    What I hate worse then TV ads and logos are the ones on Radio. I quit listening to local radio ever since all they carried was country, rap, and britney spears and boy band stuff. It all sounds the same (makes my ears bleed). When I do listen to local radio (in gf's car) what I hate is between EVERY song they play that little "your listing to Y101, Z106, 95 The Beat, etc" between every song. As if I'd forget between every song that I'm listening to your crappy radio station anyway. I think I can associate 95.5 with 95 the beat without having to hear it every 5 minutes, etc...
