It did actually work, just not well enough. He ended up pioneering radio, and was decades ahead of Marconi. You conveniently also ignore his development of the AC motor, the AC distribution system we use today, and his design of the hydro station at Niagra Falls.
There are a lot of cranks that co-opt his name, try not to confuse them with him.
You know, the funny thing is that that is real! There actually was software for DOS to increase your RAM, typically they just implemented a swapfile and compressed some stuff.
except for the code parts from Xenix (which is 28 years old) that was renamed to "SCO Unix" in 1989, which was - as we all know - stolen and illegally put completely into linux... (we have a suitcase full of evidence!!!) And, no, you may not look within the Evidentiary Suitcase!
In comparison, Microsoft has been around for what... 20 years? And who knows what bugs in Windows are there, lurking, just waiting to bite us? Microsoft was founded in 1988?!
Us against them. Good over evil. With or against us. Sheep think in those terms. In all fairness, I really don't think they do. It is my understanding that a sheep's thought process is more akin to: "Sleep. Food. Food. Sleep."...ram approaches..."Sleep. Sex. Sex. Sex. Food. Sleep."
Gents, we have been hearing this exact same line since 1990. It was wrong then, it's wrong now. I'm surprised they have the gaul to post this nonsense.
People always talk about checking that the subject is alive with things like bloodpressure, etc. But, in practice, I have yet to find a single fingerprint reader that does this. It's not even really pointful to check. It's absurdly easy to create a false print that is worn on a living thumb.
The Port Of San Francisco has had its ass kicked by the Port Of Oakland for decades now. After containerization, it just never kept up... In all of this, people always forget the Port of Ostia.
90% of these cables use the FTDI FT232 chip. There are some issues, I don't recall it really being 12 volt as RS-232 should be. It won't work with certain PIC programmers. But it does make it easy to put USB on a device:)
Does anyone use dialup modems for this any more? It's cheaper and easier to use GSM. I'm going to assume you don't live in Canada. Data over the cellular network here is still a horrifically expensive option.

And Nosferatu. I'm still looking for a copy of The Sheik, though.
For the most part, the ham bands are *not* covered by the average shortwave radio. Little wonder you don't see much traffic on it.

Quantum is important, too. Nano quantum ion particles from japan!
Thanks for posting that! I read the whole thing, and it is hilarious. I love it.
He should be raped by the ghost of Nikola Tesla for the blasphemy of using his name for this garbage.

You're new to slashdot, aren't you?
Quick comment: A viola is a musical instrument. I believe you want the word 'voila'.
I had been considering buying one to play with until I saw the price. For crying out loud, I can buy quite a few books for $400!

My understanding is that this vehicle had more than one amateur radio satellite on board, as well.
It's an argument against net neutrality. They want to be able to throttle at will. They want the internet as cable television.

I propose a new line of business for the body mod community: Fingerprint removal.
It seems very similar in concept to a troll.
Do the bits taste different from the bytes?

Well, it's certainly good to know that such a historic piece of equipment is being so carefully preserved for the future...
