I'm getting a little tired of this talk about "bandwidth stealing". It's hype, and they should be called on it. If the ISP's have the capacity, then it doesn't cost them an extra nickle when you use it. If they don't have the capacity, then they shouldn't be contracting it to you in the first place.
Now, if the access providers want to put a cap on the amount of bandwidth you use, and tell you this up front, then I have no problem. But, if they want to change the terms of your contract, and if they want to decide which "approved" service you can connect with, then I have a big problem. You should too! It's your resource, you paid for it. Use it.
What advice do you give to the people at Slashdot? Do you agree with the way they moderate discussions? How would you propose they extend the relevance of a discussion from about one hour to at least a day or so?
What is all this talk about an Antikythera Mechanism? The Kythera Mechanism has never been a problem for anybody. I think we should leave things just as they are!
My thoughts exactly. An oscillator is merely an unstable amplifier. In fact, it doesn't even have to be that sophisticated. Just because someone's random circuitry picks of electrical noise doesn't mean it's useful, desirable, or inspired.
IMHO this is just another of those low-on-details gee-whiz articles that Slashdot likes to carry on Saturdays to get the free-energy people all excited.
Bad attitude--no reference to perl, watercooling, or Japanese animation--mod him back to the stoneage.
If you (and I mean YOU Mr. Constitutional Expert) will read the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, you will find that they are prohibitions against the federal government, nothing more.
Those who assume that the Bill of Rights is the source of their freedoms are being scammed.
I went to a funeral service for someone who was being put into cryonic suspension. It was unlike any I had been to before. Everyone sat around a piano and sang "freeze a jolly good fellow, freeze a jolly good fellow..."
Did you know that the man that authored the copyright clause in the U.S. Constitution was the same man who started this nation's first free book lending library?

What happens to that fiber during periodic sewer maintenance? I can just imagine what those roto-rooter blades will do to your connection!

And...why didn't this get modded up?

Just so they understand that they really suck: I agree with you!

Well, good! I'm happy to see that the little fart is doing something useful with himself, after that failure with his StayFree Mini-Pads.
This wouldn't be a collodial silver generator, would it?

Okay, I'm one of the /. readers who knows what "dup dup * ." means. What I don't understand is why this would be Score:4 Funny.

Just to keep things honest, I don't believe there is such a thing as a bipolar Tesla coil. They may be describing an Oudin coil instead.
Picky, picky!
