    I thought you could send an email to a machine at your cell phone service provider and this would then be sent to your phone as an SMS message. If this is true how can SMS be traced anybetter than email?

    I think you are correct in that they just get a bunch a mail lists and start firing off the letters. We started getting these letters when my wife passed the bar.

    Radar is not a single frequency. It need to be wide band to determine position.

    Only if you could record with extremely high signal to noise.

  15. Re:Current state of antitrust legislation on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 1

    To whom are we loosing our technical leader status to? It seems to me it is Japan, India and Korea. I don't think that these countries have a strong tradition of the Government breaking up companies that get to big.

    Sun won't supply you with an IBM computer it will supply you with a sun computer. So your comparison does not seem valid to me.

    Remove the radio antenna. Unfortunately this interferes with your ability to listen to radio stations. You could also design a radio that demodulates the signal in a different way than most other radios do. So that the emissions from your radio will be different than the others.

  19. Re:I honestly don't get any spam on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 1

    I too use sneakemail for generating an email address for confirmation of websites that want it. It does not really help because these sites do not spam me. I am not sure where the spam comes from but I don't think it is from legitimate sites like NY times etc. I think spam comes from people who send an email to all of their friends and acquaintances. Some how this list of email addresses gets off to the spammers. I suppose posting generates some as well. But I don't show my email address.
