This isn't about getting high-speed data on to your cell phone, it's about using your cell phone with your office telephony servers.
Imagine being on a conference call at your office. You tap a button on your fancy Avaya 4620 IP hard phone, and your cell phone rings. you pick up and it's your conference call, coming through IP over the 802.11 network. You continue to listen on your cell using NO 'plan' minutes at all since this is your campany's private network, until you decide to go to Taco Bell. When you drop out of range of your office WLAN, voila - automatic handoff to the cell network. You return and you're back on the 802.11 network.
The point folks, is that if we do this right, you won't even _need_ a desk phone... Unless you want one.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Lemme get this straight, you are basically charging all of your customers MANUALLY based on your apache log files, through a thrid party billing company not set up for this? Doable for a few dozen users, but I can't imagine manually creating 1,000s of bills for a few pennies each.
Call me back when your site integrates with a true automated micropayment system that gives users flexibility and the ability to decide to view pages in advance based on cost - not an after the fact credit card bill.
Or will they change the standard such that these will become obselete? The article isn't clear on this but this would also mean screwing over current HDTV customers, since they do not have an integral decoder...
No no no... There's nothing stopping a STB manufacturer from making an STB with component outputs that supports the new standard. Really, you're not screwed, you can still recieve OTA HD broadcasts (what most HD viewers do anyway) and a second STB for the new digital cable standard will bring you right up to speed.

Coaster sims have been around for years - they're in freaking shopping malls for crying out loud! I know/. geeks don't get out much, but come on...
But of course, being concerned about that is fashionable in law-enforcement circles these days.
Umm, ok... I know it's really cool to use daddy's 1337 computer to make fun of cops, but how on earth can you bring yourself to question the motives of someone trying to save a child from rape, torture, murder, or worse?
What gives you the balls to even _think_ that a man who has dedicated his life to protecting innocent children does it because it makes him look good?
Tell you what, you sit in on an interview with a 9 year old girl after the fact, and then come back and tell me that cops just do what's 'fashionable'.
I'd like to see you get line-of-sight to NSA headquarters with a pringles cantenna... Heh, watch out for the men in the black uniforms;-)

As for betting from A to B... who would use this for a daily vehicle? Recreation, definately, but recreational vehicles aren't genarally used for 'A to B' travel./blockquote>
Hmm, imagine living in a city surrounded by water and bridges such as Vancouver or San Francisco. In Vancouver commuting via 'blueways' (aka water) is a viable option for some people - the ability to take your boat with you would make it even more viable!
Sorry, but you've been sadly mis-informed. Neither of the name brand TVs I've bought since '98 have the chips - in fact I had trouble finding one that did when I went looking!
Of course at my last job the option would have been spending 4 hours on our internal procurement process, and two weeks waiting for our 'preferred' vendor to send me the wrong disk....
Sheesh, elitist much? Your misguided opinion on this subject have been proven wrong more times than I care to demonstrate, but let me try anyway... I remember 'back in the day' being able to buy NICs that encrypted ethernet traffic. Never actually saw one, amongst the thousands of NICs I installed, purchased, or ran across, but they were there.
Nobody refused to buy an HP/UX box, or a Sun E2k because their NICs were'nt 'secure', and nobody ripped out all of their 10Mb Ethernet infrasructure for the cause of security either.
What caused organizations to pull out all of their old NICs though? Speed. It will always be speed. What kind of world do you live in where you think that 2x as many wireless nodes would be sold if they were 'more secure'? I sell them for a living, and nobody I work with is worried about security. I'd love it if they were so I could sell our IPSEC solution to them as well, but...
Sometimes I'm amazed at how out of touch with the real world us geek types can get...
That's not an article, it's an opinion column. No fact, sources, even credible rumors - just wild assumptions that anyone here could make with no less authority. C'mon people, next we'll be calling Springer a current events show!
How do you extend a PERSONAL right of privacy to either of the above? If it's 1 it's illegal, and if it's 2 it's a business. Where's the personal privacy issue?
I still use it, and have now added entries in my local DNS server to block out links to gator etc as I got sick of uninstalling their redirect garbage.
Well then why in heaven's name did you install Gator? I've never, ever, ever, had Gator on my computer - it doesn't just 'magically' appear you know...
That _might_ make some semblance of sense if any movies were in simple stereo these days, but the CD quality audio you seem to long for is 3.1 tracks short of a modern movie soundtrack. Brings that 1.5G up to 4.5G if you include center, surround and LFE...
"There has to be a business model where Microsoft and Yahoo and AOL get paid," Maghsoodnia said.
Yeah, just like they get paid for hosting all of our web pages, email, and ft.... Wait a second, we run our own servers for those things! Why the heck can't we have an IM system that's the same way? Run our own darned IM gateways/server, and just include it as part of your address (whoops - screen name, can't have anything technical sounding). User@server has worked well enough for email, heck with an LDAP3 directory backing it, email your address could easily be mapped to the IM presence on your server/gateway. If you really wanted to get fancy, add an IM record type to DNS.
Thinking like this is just plain stupid - there's no possible reason why this couldn't work without relying on MS/AOL/Yahoo to run our servers for us... Except they beat us to it. So how do we convince those planning to spend $$ to do it in a responsible fashion?
AAACK!!!! Please, please, please stop doing that to your prime rib! The correct way to make a moist, jiuicy, tender prime rib is by cooking it loooow and slooow. Start with well aged beef, or age it yourself (yes, this is a key step to getting the best flavor from your roast, it allows enzymes in the beef to break down some of the proteins into amino acids and improving the flavor greatly), brown all sides on the stove (6-8 minutes total), then roast in a 200* oven until it reaches a 130* internal temperature (roughly 30 minutes/lb).
Try it once, and you'll never nuke another prime rib again!
I defy you to cite one single example of a person being questioned and detained, let alone arrested, for questioning the legitimacy of an airport ID check. Seems you need to go back and read the article again, with special attention paid to tenses and assumptions made...
The rules adopted on Tuesday will replace regulations that were struck down in 1999 by a federal appeals court that found they ran afoul of free speech rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Those rules required carriers to first get consent from customers before using or disclosing their data.
What frickin' court decided that a corporation was more entitled to free speach than I am to privacy?
I think you give them more credit in their goals than they deserve. They want us dead. Plain and simple, very last one of us. If we cower in fear at their mighty God in the mean time, I'm sure that'll tickle them pink.
But when you get right down to it they want us dead.
