I know its not easy getting info on wireless chips, but time would be better spent working on something like that. Just look at all the live CD's out there and how many can connect to wifi? Ubuntu and not much else. (note to self- take wifi chip developers out to strip club and get them drunk next time they are in town)
I realize that CUPS is useful for large networks, but does it have to be installed by default on every Linux distro. Then there are the FreeBSD ports that insist on bringing it in as a dependancy. I use APSFILTER and delete CUPS asap.
Arecoline, the active ingredient in Betel nuts has been found to be an excellent antidepressant. Why aren't they studying that? Is it because there is no such entity as "BIG BETEL"?
Software defined radios could contain hardware chips that define maximum power and frequency limits. Hackers could still modify the rest of the software. Its not an either-or situation.
These are the same FCC bozos who are promoting Broadband Over Power Line or BPL, despite all the independent technical experts who confirm that the systems are just giant antennas radiating hash, noise, etc and interfering with Public Service Radio. Along those lines, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is suing the FCC over its certification methods for such systems. see www.arrl.org for the details
I live close to a large beautiful park. In recent years I have noticed a large percentage of people in the park talking on cellphones. I was amazed. I go to the park to get away from such stuff. You are truly a technological slave if you can't even get away for a few minutes of R&R without being bothered.
I agree. I recently tried to search about Vista. Its almost like MS doesn't even care about customer support. So I searched Google and at least got some information.
Memory and/or processors running at 100Ghz sounds great, but how is such a chip going to be connected to the outside world of peripherals? Beams of light? Waveguides? Or will everything have to be contained on one chip?
Despite disliking DRM, GSM is the most sophisticated communications protocol that I have ever seen. I have read the standard (dispite getting a headache in 5 minutes) and it is totally locked down using encryption, session keys, etc. Perhaps I am in error, but I doubt the standard itself has ever been cracked- unless via law enforcement with the complicity of the companies involved.
Yet it is the most widely used wireless personal communication standard in the world. Woe are the hackers and crackers who try to attact it directly. But like any encrypted system, the weak points usually lie elsewhere. Those would be the point of attack.
Can't get on the net? Wow, that's exactly the Windows version that I am looking for! I use Windows only for a couple of scientific applications and usually disconnect the ethernet cable or wifi connection before booting into it.
But sometimes I forget, opening myself up to all kinds of potential virus, malware, keylogger misery.

Yes you too can be part of this class action suit and receive your payout of $5. The lawyers get all the millions left over.
Crisco was already taken.

Imagine a huge coal burning power plant spewing carbon which is then sucked into a chimney next door at the semiconductor processing plant.
Sex tends to burn out the electronics.
Sweden just figured out the differential equations governing a noose.

Its rumored that the Reagan admin relied on astrology, tarot cards, etc in determining policy.
is in getting others to use the program because of its name. Lets have a contest to rename the GIMP.
So are posts about eating dogs insightful or trolls? Please decide quick. I don't have all day. I need to take my dog out for a walk.
Considering past revelations about cloning in Korea, I'm surprised that they aren't going for a drug sniffing human.
The first dogs from the study were accidentally eaten.

What they are doing is looking at drugs which are derivatives of nicotine. Thus they can patent them and charge you $5/pill.

Stupidity in the extreme coming along later in life. Has to be genetic.
"researchers are working on scaling their technique"
I hope their technique doesn't scale too far. Its hard to make sand castles out of sandstone without power tools.

I just want to say that without Slashdot, I would never have made it to where I am today. Kudos for a great website.
