  4. Re:Shielding, jamming on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Keep Your Credit Card Secure? · · Score: 1

    An easy way to check if the RFID "shielding envelope works is to slide your car's FOB or some other small RFID device in it and test it. NFC devices can be checked with most new phones.

  5. Never underestimate the power of a high gain directional antenna. The chip antennas in the USB dongles aren't that great.

  12. Re:Degrees are about worthless on Study Analyzes Recent Grads' Unemployment By Major · · Score: 1

    A degree is a useful tool in the HR file. It is often used for grooming on the management fast track. Great for all sorts of perks. It's like traveling first class.

    I have 100 amp service. That means I can use 22000 watts, more than enough. Right now, I'm using 3 1500 watt heaters in my house, for a total of 4,500 watts.

    Some of my neighbors have 200 amp service. The utility company is not going to put a 12000 watt transformer up to any of our houses...

  21. Re:frequency converter drives ? on Stuxnet Was Designed To Subtly Interfere With Uranium Enrichment · · Score: 4, Informative

    AC motors require these drives to get their speed. 60Hz would be about 1800 or 3600 rpm, depending how its wound. Most industrial drives can be programmed for 400Hz, which will spin the armature quite fast. Enrichment is like spinning glassware on a dentist's drill. Those frequencies at that high of voltage (480 volts typical) has a very high switching rate that requires exotic transistor designs. Given that these controllers aren't very common, say for a juice mixer, they can be tracked and sabotaged by the distributor quite easily.

  22. Re:Just because they have branded it on Telstra Violating the GPL? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In your analogy of Toyota distributing cars without following terms of the license, the dealer is NOT authorized to distribute under terms of the license. It becomes a copyright violation. The GPL is very clear about this.
