Digital simulcast of your local stations gets you just that, your local stations.
I am perfectly happy to pay XM my $9.95 to bring me Fox News, BBC World Service, C-Span, CNET Radio:-), NASCAR, etc etc... and the music is good too, hell on *average* I hear the Sisters of Mercy on XM Fred, more times in one month than I have ever heard them in my entire life on comercial radio.
In this case the saying that you get what you pay for really does apply.
A use for the TIMBOT!!!!!!!

Send it into the building to disable the honeypot laptop.... It can use its onboard signal strength meter to search for it and then with some onboard weapons in the Mark II version (remember its a DARPA project....) BOOM!! no more honeypot...

All we need is the list of ISPs running this thing and to figure out whose packets have been sniffed and according to 18 USC 2520 we can each get $500 from the FBI for their unauthorized taping of our communications.....
Any lawyers in the room care to start the class action suit?
Do you think that email packets are different from RADIUS packets? or from Instant Messenger packets? Or HTTP POSTs containing your password and credit card numbers?
Repeat after me..
A packet sniffer is a packet sniffer is a packet sniffer..
It sniffs whatever the user wants, and if you can't figure out that the FBI wants to sniff EVERYTHING then you are living in fantasy land.
I suppose it all depends on the ability to determine that someone has spliced modified dynamic library or not. If you can cheat by modification of the OS AND the program can not detect the modification then you have a problem, but if the app can detect that you are running non-standard drivers it can say
"put back the drivers that came with the game or we will tell everyone you are a scum sucking bastard..."
It's funny how history seems to repeat itself, the X game netrek used to send the entier state of the universe to all players, including the location of 'cloaked' ships... but it would add a little note saying 'this ship is cloaked, dont let the user see it'........
Can anyone guess what the first cheating client was?
The fix was obvious, don't send the info if you couldn't see the ship. So then the server would only send you info on a cloaked ship when you were very close, causing the ship to flicker in and out (and to drift around because the location was a random offset from the true location).
The cheat for that was client programs that opened sockets to their teammates and not only let them know about cloaked ships but if more than one of your teammates could see the ship the client would average the multiple randomized positions together to cancel out the randomization.
You have to make the Client part of the Game and not part of the Player, its one thing to have a
better user interface, and netrek has multiple approved interfaces that are highly customizable but if you let people add machine assist to the Client it goes down hill immediately
I think this problem must exist in any networked multiplayer game, many moons ago we had this problem in the X game netrek. Im not sure but I think the first '(cy)borg' client came from someone pasting the firing code I wrote for the robot players into the human user interface. The problem was easily delt with by using authenticed binaries to prevent code modification.
As for people changing config files, or adding spikes to players, that is just an issue of poor design, not requiring your model to fix the same 'bounding box' as the model the other player is using is an obvious bug, cheating aside, all the cheater is doing is exploiting the fact that the game designers clipping code is inadequate. Same with the recoil or weapon effects.
Deep Thought/Blue is not 'limited to the "brute force" approach', while it does check moves as fast as it can (which any player, human or computer would want to do)
what makes Deep Blue so good is a concept called Singular Extension. What signular extension does is to identify potentialy important moves
and spend time searching in that portion of the game tree, as opposed to 'simply searching as big an area of the tree as possible' as you state.
There is a very good SCIAM article on how DT/B operates.
Singular extension can be increadibly powerful in practice. I had the good fortune to witness a game that DT played in the North
American ACM Computer Chess Championships betwee Deep Thought and Hitech (the other CMU chess computer). Both team set up their monitors in the same conference room so the spectators could watch the 'thinking' of two programs.
In the end game their came a point where Hitch thought it was up a pawn, but Deep Thought saw mate in 12 moves!
Hitech went on for I think 6 more moves before it decided to resign.
This concept can obviously be applied to the original topic of this discussion, a computer driving a car.
The computer could realize that the car ahead which is begining to spin is a much more important concern
than whether or not the car behind can pass on the next turn if the turn will be blocked by the spinning car
I have a box in the garage (as I have) and lots of the games are so old they dont work anymore....
Should I still be able to download and play the games?
Ilka Schroeder, member of the European parliament, refunded o'clock on today's Monday at 10.00 with the Chief Federal Prosecutor, with the public
prosecutor's office trusting stone and with the public prosecutor's office Berlin display against Echelon. The display was issued against " unknown
suspects in particular from the USA and Great Britain as well as if necessary the German Federal Government because of operation and tolerating
the espionage system ECHELON ".
Schroeder appoints itself thereby to reports of Duncan Campbell , Florian Roetzer and Antje Endell in the DUD . The legal lever it sets with the Chief
Federal Prosecutor with its competence for the pursuit of certain offences against the patent -, for semiconductor law for the protection and utility model. Schroeder
assumes in its charge, which is present Telepolis that " these regulations are obviously violated by the described restaurant espionage activity of the suspects ". The
local competence of the other public prosecutor's offices comes out from the scene. The public prosecutor's office trusting stone is responsibly for bath Aibling, Berlin

privacy of the word " after 201 StGB one hurt. Data are verlezt if necessary spied, that secrecy of letters, which offends against the Paragrafen 202 and 20à of the
StGB. Besides other operation and professional secrets with technical means were used - Paragraf 17 UWG, whereby the German criminal law is applicable to an
act committed abroad after Paragraf 20 UWG probably.
Also for the Federal Government could result a criminal responsibility, if it did not fulfill its protection obligation in favor of German citizens and enterprises
enstprechend - " by being supposed in required intensity at the governments of the operator states on omission of the monitoring urge ". This comes from the Basic
Law article 2 (informational right of self-determination) and 10 (distance reporting liberty).
Schroeder has at least support by the French European parliament delegate Thierry Jean Pierre. It had referred to in a writing to the French public prosecutor's office
the damage of citizens and enterprises by Echelon, which thereupon in May 2000 according to acknowledgement of its speaker Jean Pierre Vorermittlungsverfahren had initiated.
How Schroeder said this morning opposite Telepolis, she wants to lift the discussion " with the charge over Echelon on another political level ". The discussion in " the
not-constant committee " of the European parliament is " target-oriented too few ". Schroeder: " Beside the rather toothless committee work of the parliament and the
use of encoding technology by computer users also the attempt belongs to proceed legally against the violation of the privatsphaere. " Schroeder belongs to the
committee as a stellvertrendes member.
Why was I not surprised to discover this...
This one took me a little longer to find than the contest patent.....

how the heck do you warchalk a moving access point????
Someone needs to go out and start printing the bumper stickers now... "Public 802.11 on board"
And police cars with 802.11 would be what then? "Honey tankers"?
The shipments from India would come into to west coast ports....... eventually.
Which Linux release are they using?????
at least if you had a car on which you could use this tool
A short train ride to Akihabara (Electric town) is your only hope... they have everything you need right here under the train tracks
for a couple of minutes
and besides, arguing that because something is an "industry practice" it means M$ is doing it seems a really weak agruement
