Back when the PS2 launched, one of the best games around was SSX, and it had a soundtrack worthy of the game. I enjoyed, and acquired, much of the music I heard from playing that game.
Cellars serve a purpose on several standards: utility, foundation, and just being below the frost line. Passively moved steam heat requires a basement. Those of us from the northeastern US are often shocked that it is common anywhere to have a home without a basement. Besides the necessity of furnace concerns, it is also useful for more convenient plumbing, and they usually stay above freezing as they're below ground (water pipes in the northern states are buried much deeper -- contrast with Texas where "freeze warnings" are issued frequently in winter months).
Conversely, they're well-known for flooding or mold problems, and don't have quite the same utility towards the south. Thus, southerners wonder why the hell we all have underground rooms.
I submitted this article yesterday while it was happening, but of course at that time details were even more sparse (speed vs. informative.. oh well). Some of the BGP routing information I captured is printed out on
Wikinews. The basic idea is that Pakistan Telecon, BGPAutonomous System number 17557 began being chatty, saying that it owned Youtube's netblock. It did this using a/24 routing prefix, whereas Youtube exports its route as a/22 (which it should...). Because the/24 was more specific, it became the primary route of reference. This is similar to the "AS 7007" incident (Google it... there's no one good link) back in the late 1990s (one of two incidents in the history of the Internet that has brought the entire Internet down, IIRC).
I'll check back for related questions to fill in any blanks later:)
I'll anecdotally back it up. My active-duty navy roommate told me the same thing about a month ago. The Navy police (*ahem*, MPs) will pull you over for ANY visible cellphone use. Moving car == no driver phone call on base.
Likely has nothing to do with transmit power. The devices, I believe, run at 100mW for 2.4Ghz, 250mW for 5Ghz. I don't think they're upping the power any here because of the FCC.
That's because you don't have artificial ears that have a characteristic db gain, or a built-in DSP. Humans more or less have a tendency to rip on anything not exactly like them... better or worse.
Stupid people drag you down to their level, then beat you with the home-court advantage:-P
TFA really sucks. The linked judgment is much more useful to read. I'm kind of saddened by the judges focus on "zone transfers," but it's clear that the issue is not about zone transfers. The issue is a pattern of malicious activity that the defendant had an injunction placed on him for. He violated that injunction. It was corporate cyber-stalking harassment, really. I'd say that the zone transfer was illegal in context, especially with an outstanding injunction to stay off the company's servers.
The first trick is that the person making a transaction is authenticated, so everything can be logged in a tracable way. The second trick is that the banks give a damn.
I don't believe so. I'll be half-assed and make somebody else verify this for me as I'm too busy to grok the kernel license at the moment, but I believe that the GPL v2 found in the kernel sources leaves off the part that says "or any later revision."
People in America who get their driver's licenses can't shift gears, threshold brake, or control their car at all when they have anything less than four wheels with full traction. All in all, what's the difference?
There's something being transmitted on almost any frequency. It's just a question of whether any one signal dominates over the others. For real fun, play in the HF amateur bands, which have a very odd noise characteristic.
To your point, the study information is far too sparse to be really useful. That said, 1 foot is something less than a VW Beetle.
All in all, can't be much worse than me pumping 5 watts out of the radio in my hand. Oh, and no matter how you cut it, cell phone towers (yes, NOT part of the study), are certainly useless things to clamor about. My cell receives.00000001mW of signal power here in a downtown office building. Cell phone signals typically are interfered with more by natural thermal noise than anything else.
884 Mhz has a wavelength of just over a foot.
There's not really such thing as an untuned radio... the radios are tuned to a frequency, they're just on one with a very low Signal to Noise Ratio.
Finally, I still wouldn't stand too close to a 160 meter antenna that was transmitting over 1kW, even if that's 1/3 the height of the Sears Tower.
That number is the "Specific Absorption Rate." Google it, and you'll get the very basic idea (wiki article is kinda useless). Cell phone handsets are regulated to 1.6W/kg in the US, 2W/kg in the EU. Anyway, a quick check of Nokia models shows a maximum exposure typically under.5W/kg, with variations per model (8800,.5; N-Gage,.35).
I'm really curious about HOW one can be that selective about regional accuracy. The GPS system works based upon the time that is given by the GPS satellites. The military had more accurate readings because they had an ecoded signal which wasn't fudged. Is there more information, more explanation for that which would allow for tighter control over where tolerances are different?
I've always refused to use Verizon for that exact reason of how they are with their network and services. I'll wait and see what they do with their network, but if they're serious and do open up, I'll be happy to move to them, especially if they adopt GSM and use SIM cards.

Well, for starters, see the Wikipedia Toolserver... run out of Germany.
In America, yes; the truth is not, however, a defense on its own in all countries.
*waits for the comment "it's the same 100 watts..."*
Some things that are nothing new may yet be nothing appropriate.

Any women in Maine for a 22 year old guy who also lives on the command line? I already know... no...

Don't ask me how the y became an n. They're not exactly next to each other...
I can say... pay them and then will code.
Is this based upon some kind of central heat plant system?

.97W/kg ;)
The iPhone, however, is a screaming
You know, I just HAD to comment on your signature. My user number is also probably lower than yours, assuming you're just another /.er.

I'd say, follow their story and see what they do... http://4chanstatus.blogspot.com/
