Tails is most certainly is not Windoze. Now, as for Windoze not being secure, at least it is "the devil you know." It has had a decade of hardening. Unlike some of the Linuxes, which use the insecure UEFI for booting, Windoze uses legacy BIOS, which is better characterized for boot kits.

You need to differentiate between apps distributed in the USA and those elsewhere in the world. FDA only has control over the US of A. They will claim control (and to the best of my knowledge they have control) over the distribution of free-software (described by this final guidance) within the USA.
Yes, indeed, brrrr. It is tough dealing with these aching joints and dizzy spells...
However, IMO Science has been perverted by the advent of Internet publishing. This desire to ask everybody to "show me your source" and then calling their opinions "anecdotal" if they deign to take your suggestion, is indeed a relatively recent phenomenon, just in the last couple of decades. Maybe it is due to the over-availability of citations via the Internet, maybe not.
However, Schneier has fully established his own credibility. He doesn't need any stinkin' sources before drawing a conclusion. And we need to pay him some stinkin' respect... I certainly do...
I am very happy with my Logitech (at $99) and current GoogleTV software. I get free Amazon-Prime movies (end especially BBC comedies) as well as YouTube videos (recently watched all 3 hours of 'Triumph of the Nerds' with the whole family in the living room)...
I use mGmaps in my Blackberry. Unlike Google Maps, you can download the maps in advance and work in an offline (airplane) mode. A world map at decent resolution takes about 6 gigs of SD card space.

Today's Academic Journals maintain the status quo, and retard scientific progress.
It took Einstein 5 years to convince Max Planck he had something worthwhile in Special Relativity, yet the paper was published by the editors of the day. Today's editors would not have published it, as they are scared stiff of publishing anything which might be 'incorrect', or anything which the peer reviewers won't endorse.
Maintenance of the status quo is the price we pay so that University bean counters can have a standard by which they measure academic performance. It is a high price, indeed.
C'mon guys, I haven't admitted making a mistake like 'out of space' for years- Not since I started writing Linux columns for BYTE.com -lol
I have been trying to work the problem out with the rsync mailing list. Every second message I receive tells me its my kernel or my hardware - sheez.
Anyway - rsync v2.5.5 no longer crashes the server (THIS IS A KNOWN BUG IN 2.5.4 - can you believe that? The 'fork' bug - too many forks while executing rsync as root will bring down all open processes)(thanks to Paul Haas for that info) I now have a consistent and repeatable rsync failure. Whenever it tries to copy/var/log/httpd/access.combined.log
I guess it doesn't like having to argue with Apache over who has the log open -lol..Trevor..

I am backing up from/dev/hda1 to/dev/hdc1 After 6 reboots and 12 fsck I finally got a complete image on/dev/hdc1 and now I actually get an error message (and clean error exit) saying:

Sir,
Anybody using equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, even a hospital, has to be prepared to accept any interference that comes along. Its the law.
(This information is in the second paragraph of my article)
(I already left a message in the thread above, describing the construction of the sleeve)
There is no dispute that a vertical monopole over a horizontal infinite ground should be described as a monopole. The radiation pattern consists of that from the monopole added to that from the reflection of the monopole in the ground plane.
If the ground plane is reduced to several 1/4 wave radials then it is still a ground plane, although the current distribution in the radials will be different from that in the infinite ground. We still have a monopole
As the radials are folded downwards to become a sleeve, additional currents flow in the coax sheath. When the radials are flush with the sheath the velocity factor of the sheath comes into play in deciding the distribution of those currents.
So, do we have a dipole with a novel feed, or do we have a monopole with a coaxial balun, but without a groundplane?
N6MOD,
Yes, I did get my training decades ago, when "wireless" was all the rage:)
The interesting thing is that the coaxial "Balun", "Sleeve", "Dipole" (whatever) is shorter than a free space quarter wave. It has been trimmed 30% to account for the velocity factor in the teflon coax. But it is also air-spaced from the coax sheath, by about 1 coax radius. I am guessing that some engineer didn't quite get his/her calculations right on that one, but haven't bothered to chase it up yet...
At least when you peel back the braid you have it close to the sheath dielectric. Which is what? Polyethylene? Velocity factor? Goodness, nothing is simple these days...
My tutorial was meant as just that - a tutorial. I did not resort to scare-mongering, and I did explain FCC issues.
You are talking about the licensing situation facing a manufacturer, and the regulations apply differently to those marketing and selling WLAN antennas and those installing them.
There are thousands of people out there buying WLAN antennas, even on Ebay, without any knowledge of what they are doing. I am trying to increase that knowledge-base so that their actions can be based on real information, rather than merely a raw specification.
My aim was to let people know what the technical issues are, and what advantages WLAN antennas can bring.
I did not cover only directional antennas. In addition to theoretical discussions on omnis, I linked to a high gain, non directional, horizontally polarized slotted waveguide omni antenna.
Please tell me more about the "big fines" which await the unwary public. My research did not uncover any such problems. I would love some pointers to case histories that would allow me to decide whether or not I need to issue corrections and disclaimers to correct what I have written.

I did RTFA. I get many articles like this for peer-review. I would have insisted on many revisions in this paper. There are so many loose-ends.

That app will most definitely be subject to regulation. I speak from personal knowledge :(

No, Kim DotCom is accused of criminal conduct in order to get around laws like this. Don't rely on civil law to protect you from big brother.
