The problem of 'lack of usable spectrum' is actually a problem of sharing.
There's plenty of spectrum. It's just carved up inefficiently between the carriers. Take your US phone to Europe, roaming and you will get great reception because it will roam on any of the available carriers.
If the US carriers chose to share their spectrum and tower infrastructure, they'd all get better coverage for less cost. However this won't happen since they're too busy trying to crush the competition to attempt cooperation.
The fact that it is possible for something to occur is not a reason to believe that it will occur. It's possible that I'll take horrible offense to one of your posts, engage in some drawn-out process to hunt you down in real life, and murder you brutally. You'd be a fool to spend even a moment's thought worrying about it, however, because such an event is exceptionally unlikely.
The two are not equivalent. There's only one of you. There are many OEMs. The odds stack up differently.
>There's never been any real reason to believe that locking down of this feature would happen, apart from FUD.
This is untrue. An OEM can control whether or not the purchaser can control the keys and trust list on the hardware they sell. There is nothing about secure boot that forces the OEM to take one action or another. Locking down of the feature might well happen on some platforms. Check before you buy.
I seem to making a decent living designing chips and I know lots of other people in a similar situation. If you're a 'creative worker' create something that people need.
I the mid to late 80s, when I did my computer science GCEs and A levels, it was a proper computer science curriculum with computer architecture, language theory, machine code, high level languages (basic/pascal/prolog) databases etc. As with the other GCEs and A levels there was a lot of university involvement in setting the exams, so the curriculum led smoothly into the university computer science curriculum.
So this isn't a new thing, just a return to the old thing.
Given the choice for a bit of microcontroller hacking, I would take the AVR every time over an ARM. The ARM instruction set and processor model is a huge kludge. The AVR's is quite neat and clean. I've designed ARMs into a few chips and I've yet to meet an engineer who has chosen ARM because they liked the ARM, it's always because higher management have brought into the hype. The details suck.
Resistors don't come with a US style light bulb screw thread attachment. I could crack out the soldering iron and make one from an old bulb and a resistor, but who wants to lacerate themselves taking apart a glass bulb just to make a lava lamp dark?
>Verizon is more than willing to change the DNS PTRs for anyone who calls the business support line
It took me a whole week in phone tree hell to get Verizon to set up my reverse DNS.
The final act took under a minute, talking to a guy who appeared to know what he was doing, But getting anyone to even understand the question enough to know what department to pass me to took a week.

It's an excellent rate for the surgeon though. I was there and it literally took her 10 seconds per tube. That's $54,000 per hour.

>T mobile is dead. Period. Let the sell off of assets proceed.
My T Mobile serviced cell phone still works fine. So it's a newer, shiner kind of dead I suppose.
>Guys should man up and get a real vasectomy
If it ain't fixed, don't break it.
After the C-section and before they sew her back up is the best time to have your wife's tubes tied.
Occam?
could you please tell me wtf what you wrote means (I'm not your parent poster). I'm interested but have no clue what you (two?) are talking about...
I've got no clue either. I was making a {Facebook==Frivolous, LinkedIn=-Serious} joke.
Go on, take the Facebook password, but if anyone touches my Linked In password, there will be trouble,

I first read that as "Doughnuts Linked to Global Warming".
Stands to reason I suppose.

Can we have Woz back in charge now?
In 93 you could have installed KA9Q on your pc.
I took the computer science O and A levels for the easy A. It left more time to work on maths and physics.

Maybe it isn't another planet. Maybe it's epicycles!

Is she eating the bulbs?
>You seriously believe that there won't be alternatives for specialized applications?
Not in the generic local home goods store where I usually buy my light bulbs.
Resistors don't come with a US style light bulb screw thread attachment. I could crack out the soldering iron and make one from an old bulb and a resistor, but who wants to lacerate themselves taking apart a glass bulb just to make a lava lamp dark?
Incandescent bulbs are widely used for heating. For example in bread proofing boxs, small animal tanks and lava lamps.
What exactly are we supposed to use now?
>Which government ... your local city government?
Yes.

Yes, I was calling the business support line.
My $50 is a small price to pay if it helps him win the case and set a precedent that leaves me free to discuss Sony's cryptographic failures.
