How is this going to affect the vast community of ad-hoc wireless links that sprout up overnight? Are they going to police them too? Are they going to try and track the people who bounce microwaves off buildings, the sky, and such?
Simply hook up the magnetron to the antenna. Don't worry about modulating it. There's too much noise to begin with. I'm sure 900watts will melt my 100watt yagi. And drop a few birds in the sky. Not to mention the fire that spontaneously errupted across the street.
Yagi antennas have great gain, are flat, and can be concealed inside furniture. Completely stealthy, compact, and cheap too. I got mine from Hyperlink.
Simple: they don't need to place redundant cell towers in an open area. Towers are not placed in an exact grid, but maximize the geography available. When you are close to a tower, signaling between the phone and tower adjust the power. If you have access to the troubleshooting mode on your phone, you can play with these settings manualy.
Cell phones not only would be annoying in the air for every passenger talking to their hand, but the whole design of the cell structure would be defeated. Your cell phone from the heavens would be blanketing every cell tower in the city at once, saturating the network's capacity.
Operating your cell phone on the ground ensures distance to neighboring cells is enforced, only using the nearest neighbor. Signaling to your cell phone adjusts the power output to a reasonable level to save your batteries and airspace. This is completely defeated when you are up in the air and pretty much the same distance to *all* towers. Its like jamming the entire network. And I believe cell phone use in the air is illegal just because of this.
A script that maps printers and faxes the owner a security warning? Can't be any worse than code red or nimbda, or whatever they call that thing that clogs up my apache logs.
An annoying crack to enforce security a bad thing? I'd love to see this.
These symbols assume everyone is still using 802.11b, not the new 5GHz "a" frequency. Google returns nothing. Perhaps "a)(" would be a good symbol for this juicy new band?
Define "losing" money. And what is "profit?" Is it how you phrase the question to the accountant?
These companies do invest great amounts of capital for machines and upgrades. Much of this is overtime and I'm sure the employees don't feel that this is a "loss."
The same reason why we all don't work for One Big Company. Diversity is good. It may allow for conflicts to exist, but such events are required in nature for us to learn and grow.
If you are going to break the law, do it in style. Go steal a Palladium box. Crack the keys, publish them, and have an innocent family ruined by the law. This is about what this version of digital rights management is, its about raping and pillaging innocent people. What's a better point to make than to show what it really does to people?

GCC 3.2 Released

Agreed. I have noticed far fewer postings on here announcing the latest developments in free software. I was afraid slashdot was going mainstream and donned the corporate hat or something, passing up news of community acheivements.
Seeing news like this to be discussed and picked apart in a large forum is always a good idea in my opinion. GCC is important for the way my gentoo linux box operates, so yes, I'm VERY interested in these articles. This is news that lets me be aware of issues I may encounter in the future.
It seems to me people complained when an article was posted about Yet Another Kernel Release. I can understand those people weren't interested and may have had better sources elsewhere, but I found slashdot a great place to discuss these issues since the beginning.
Televisions and canned broadcasts are obsoleted by the internet anyway. Make plans to purchase wireless and other broadband equipment with new video hardware.
Missouri highway patrolmen have often told me otherwise. They have told me that they don't care if a person is nekkid in a car, but if they step out of the car, THEN they are in a public place.
"I've just found out that Microsoft Encarta Deluxe 2001 (the copy I just happened to find out and install) has direct links ('Web Links') from each artist's article to the webmuseum (on metalab.unc.edu at the time) and that's actually the only weblink provided in that 2001 edition."
Does Microsoft donate to the service as they depend on it for their products to work?
Funny, but I don't remember Trident having a bad reputation. Where does this come from?
All cards manufactured during that time frame were slow. You can't pull a card from 10 years ago and expect it to compete with today's accelerated 3D cards. They just didn't exist back then. Sure, Trident's cards made back then are slow today. But they are reliable and do the basic job of delivering a signal to the monitor well.
Given the technology they have to work with today, their past vision would be welcome.
I still have many old Trident cards. They all were reliable and did their job without fail. And I'm keeping mine, because they still have good utility.
Piracy my ass. It allows me to run down to Blockbuster so I can watch something every weekend and watch movies in full quality. Else, I'd have to get half rate movies off the internet. Who are they kidding?

This sounds like a great service from Big Brother, but how are they going to pull this one off? At taxpayer expense?
I see the need to ping eachother with random terrabytes of data. Who's going to pay for this expensive archiving?
You obviously didn't read the FAQ, did you?
The FAQ was good reading until it got...very....slow.....and.........

No, this is what we are worried about. When your typewriters end up missing, you know something is wrong.
Or moon the Microsoft booth with pictures for the whole world to see.

Legally, your car is a public place.

Looks like his employer was owned by big businesses and was not in the interest of the public.
When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop--even you heart!
A sneeze is nothing more than a spontaneous brain abortion.
He didn't raise his had to get permission for a restroom break. Them rules is the breaks, man.
Even the size of Dixie cups are getting bigger at 9oz. These are the famous paper cups in the dispenser that save dishes from piling up in the sink.
