Maui Sky Fiber in Hawaii has deployed a wireless 3G internet solution. For $14/day you can have broadband from anywhere on the western part of the island. I'm using it right now, and while their setup software needs serious help, the throughput and reliablity of the actual service is great.
This is the definition of an inventor. There are many patents which require large amounts of capital to produce. What some inventors will do is patent the idea then pitch it to companies hoping they will purchase the rights to the patent and produce the product.
The entire design of patents is to prevent someone from bulding something you claim as yours. This article just points out the obvious.
However I agree that some people still use aentenas to get their signals, the vast majority of the wavelengths available to tv stations to broadcast at are not used. A TV can pickup at most 2-3 signals in a metropolitan area. This leaves an enormous number of channels available for other purposes. Re-organizing does not necessarily mean that the existing broadcasters would be cut, but rather they'd be consolidated to a more confined wavelength.
There is roughly 1 Supernova occurring per second in the Universe. Thats one star pre second exploding somewhere. If our Galaxy has one Supernova per century, that means there's a whole butt load of Galaxies of stars.
I doubt this would hold up in very windy and/or stormy weather. A baloon is hardly fail safe, especially considering its vulnerability to weather.

Actually, this isn't true. IR Filters FILTER Infrared light, preventing it from impacting the underlying CCD. All CCD and CMOS cameras have them. When removed, you can pick up an enormous amount of noise, including clicks from your remote control, which easily overflow the hit count on the chip and spam the resulting photo.
Quite simply put, they come up with it by following the Scientific Method. Einstein's genius was that he could think of a scientific experiment, then imagine what the results would be without any physical evidence, just mathematical models. For example, the "what would happen if you were traveling in a train at the speed of light and you turned on a flashlight" experiment. Theres no way to implement this experiment, however using mathematics and his imagination, we was able to come to a probable conclusion.
There is a fundamental problem in WinCE which causes 90% of all the issues people see with these devices. The problem is that WinCE has poor memory management. Theoretically the OS is supposed to manage all memory aspects from stopping running apps to free memory to dynamically loading and unloading DLL's. The most serious problem however is that it restricts the amount of memory available to a DLL to 16 MB. On devices like the HP 5450 and these T-Mobile Smart Phones, this becomes a problem because of the numerous integrated devices the OS has to support. The 5450 has WiFi, Bluetooth and Biometrics which fill up 12 of the 16MB of available memory. As a result, user applications like Adobe Acrobat do not have enough memory to load their linked libraries. The only solution is to jump through hoops managing the memory manually and to disable unused devices like Bluetooth or the Biometrics (which negates getting to the device to begin with!).
A solution to this problem is not due until WinCE.NET comes out which is due sometime this summer.
Its unfortunate that this problem exists. It has apparently been caused by these PocketPC devices growing in size too quickly for the OS. Talk about growing pains...
AI is only as complicated as you program it! Using various search techniques and writing a program to simulate an intelligent conversation isn't anything more than a simulation. That fact of the matter is that intelligence is super complex. People know how to write a program to mimick an animal, for example, a Dog, but they don't know how to write their program to truely interact with its environment dynamically. My dog understands when I'm upset about something and can learn new social behavior depending on his environment. I'll be overwhelmingly surprised if the day ever comes where something programmed is capable of accomplishing this. Intelligent life is just too damn complex on a molecular scale to mimick.
1) Authorized the sale of missle technology to China 2) Ignored the threat of N Korea's nuclear plans (now they have the capabilities to nuke California where as they didn't 10 years ago) 3) Accepted contributions from Chinese nationals (see 1 above) 4) Ignored opportunities to remove Bin Laden 5) Completely stalled the Israeli peace plan at the end of his second term b/c he obviously wasn't going to benefit from it 6) Lied to Congress and the American people.
What upsets me about all of these isn't that he got a blowjob from an intern. Its that it was so obvious there was espionage and treason occurring with the Chinese and that wasn't the big deal!!... and I voted for Clinton '96.
Subtract taxes from that Salary. Add student loan interest, plus that fact that those Doctorial degree's mostlikely came with $100k of loans and you're looking at a life of pain and suffering. $71,000 is not a lot of money when you take into account cost of living and interest of $100,000 student loan.
Yes, an education pays. Does it pay enough? Not nearly. I think there will be a huge backlash in the coming future as people realize that a lifetime of debt is not worth the resulting salary. Schools right now are incredibly over priced and taking advantage of the less fortunate.... but hey, thats Capitalism after all.
Apply the same analysis with Array initialization between C# and Java. In C# there is one and only one way of declaring an array. In Java there are several.
You are 150% correct. What worries me is that this guy lives on the middle of the steppes of NZ, completely dislocated from any harm his project could cause.
We no longer live in a world of IF's, we live in a world of WHEN's. This guy is expediting the inevitable. He's a jerk.
I know that this isn't on the scale of building a nuke, but this pisses me off. Creating a cookbook on how to make a virtually anonymous precision weapon is sickening. The majority of the deranged in this world who would love to launch such a thing are not intelligent enough to piece one together until someone comes along and publishes instructions and guidelines.
Just when does this become illegal or a threat to the public?
This same question was asked of Java back in the day. In fact, I believe ID Software was planning on releasing a version of Quake written in Java. Then came the realization that 3D rendering that pushes hardware to the limits will never be achieved through an Object Oriented Language. It does not have to do with the fact that Java or.NET can be run interpretive or with a JIT compiler, it merely deals with the facts that in an OO language, literal string names mean EVERYTHING. Both.NET and Java highly rely on the names of classes, variables, functions, etc at runtime to link code properly. This is the crux of the problem.
I look at this as being a hardware problem in the towers, not in phones themselves. People are going to use these things no matter what. Service providers should add filters to restrict cell connections based on altitude. I don't think it would require triangulation, merely a couple directional aentenas pointing towards the sky. The towers should refuse connections from the sky.
This is assuming that the problem isn't comparable to a radar jam, which I believe is the case.
With all these billionares forming their own space oriented companies, what the hell is stopping them from pooling their resources for their common goal?!?! You'd think that if they were capable of doing all this so cheaply, that triple or quadruple the capital would help speed things along...

Last time I checked, we landed on the moon in the 60's. They're only 40 years behind in the race.
Now if I hear word about going to Mars, then there's a race. Otherwise, hogwash!
The package I'm using is for people in resorts. You can sign up monthly for something around $40.

Uhh, no. As in a datapipe. VPN is overkill.
A simple datapipe would fix this problem.
