If it were true, you could run a one mile wide bridge of Austin from here to the Moon--which is why a quarter of a million miles caught my eye. (You could actually do this with Texas, but only a fool would suggest that would be a pretty good use for it.;)
That Austin is over 1% of Texas (according to that site) is pretty impressive.
Austin, TX has almost a quarter of a million square miles
If it did, it wouldn't leave much room for the rest of Texas! Texas is 266,807 square miles, Austin is 2,705 square miles in metro areas according to that site.
A meteorite hits New Zealand, and at the same time, a 23-acre lake vanishes in Wildwood Missouri. If asked, I'll bet that officials will deny a connection, proving that there's something going on!
Works fine in Canada. However, you do need a lot of checks and balances and people from all parties to observe the process. It can still be rigged, I suppose, but only here and there rather than an entire unified electronic system.
I don't understand the facination with voting machines that Americans have--okay maybe if they gave points and you could get extra lives...
While checking blocklists is a good idea, it should only be used as a last resort. The proper thing to do is to catch problems before they go that far. Once they do, they'll also result in many private blocklistings which will never automatically age-off.
I'm sure there are many admins who long ago tossed all of Comcast's IP blocks into block tables and (if they were nice) whitelisted the official mail servers.
And just think of all those public domain anachronistic product pictures that can be used in modern computer books as filler. (Dr. Dobb's used to do that all the time.) After all, we're eventually going to run out of animals to put on O'Reilly book covers. (Linux admin books are already using cowboys, and that's just not right.)
Why no, any darned fool knows that one key checkout didn't happen until the 1920s-30s with Clarence Saunders' Keydoozle Markets. Insert your key beside the item in the display window, and all your selections would be routed by conveyor to the checkout. (PDF description Search for "Keydoozle").
One-step checkout in the 19th century, why the very idea!
Strangely enough, that's the same problem I have--and my 486/66 is still too fast for my ancient eprom programmer card. So I think I'll disassemble the software and re-jig the fscking timing loops. (Not a high-priority task, let me tell you!)
Damn, if he could find a V20 chip to upgrade with, that baby would fly! (NEC V20 were 8088 compatible, but shaved off a few clock cycles. On block-move and bitblt they a lot faster, which rocked for disk and screen I/O.)
Can't have my V20 because I'm wire-wrapping a box with an LED front panel. Why? Because!
When I need a box for some junk LAN use, my 486/66 running Linux 1.1 works just fine. And it still feels like a Big Unix Mainframe when I log in and run Zork or Nethack.
Except for photoshop, I don't see anything there that needs much processor power. (And that only in bursts.) Unless you're doing a lot of server-side processing, the web server should be bound by your pipe and hard drives.
Clearwater Florida has had a system for years. Since it's owned by Scientology, you'd have to ask them how many criminals it's spotted and what laws they broke.
I'm sure that there must be something close to his design on the ARRL site. After mulling it over coffee, I thought of the endless "hide your loaded helix antenna as a flagpole!" QST articles over the years. (Yeah, most flagpoles have coax cable running to the house. No one will suspect a thing!) D'oh, most of the articles are members only.
Hopefully it is innovative. A lot of people have played around with antennas over the years, especially amateurs trying to fit a big antenna in a small space. I'd be surprised if no one has tried something close to it.
So let's hope it's not just a tweak of something that was in QST magazine thirty years ago.
Pizza Hut runs SCO? Since when? Ten years ago, I thought they were running QNX for the store backbone, probably the POS units too. At the time, it was a bit pricey over a DOS setup, but the franchise owners had to eat that cost.

Some faces they never talk about. Like the other face on Mars. (It did have a guest spot in the Watchmen graphic novel.)

Umm, at what point to they get to take a sample to match against evidence found at the felony that they arrested you for?
Travel planner? I was thinking more applications like a big MMORPG. (Wasn't the Pentagon working on one, reported on Slashdot a while ago?)

And so much for Rocket Robin-Hood's merry men and their electro-quarterstaffs!

Yes, but AM broadcast stations aren't known for operating QRP too often. :)

Keep in mind that he melted his prototype with 100 Watts. There may be some power issues to be solved first.

Man, I'm just glad Linus B. Torvalds stopped spamming all those newsgroups! ;^) (Not that I wasn't interested at the time.)
