Modern society's obsession with disinfecting everything is weakening our immune systems. Your body is meant to be exposed to these kind organisms and such exposure strengthens your resistance.
You can already watch any cable TV channel on your cell phone, but it's done in-network and not receiving directly from the satelite like this Japanese system.
Here the telco streams it to your phone over 3G. The advantage is that it works anywhere there's network coverage - which is everywhere including the entire Seoul subway network (tunnels, trains, everywhere).
The disadvantage is that you pay through the nose for the packets!
I just don't understand how the last big name to get in the game is considered news. Was their hyped numbers are bigger than the other hyped numbers? Or was it just general ignorance about the market.
How about reading the link in the article. Flash OFDM is specifically designed for wireless broadband as opposed to 2.5G and 3G data solutions available from the telcos you mentioned.
Here in Seoul, South Korea I have Korea Telecom ntopia service (basically ethernet to my apartment). The bandwidth is around 70Mbps (unlimited use) and it costs me about $US35 a month.
Last night I downloaded a number of Linux distribution ISOs (setting up a MythTV box) - about 10GB in all. I downloaded it all simultaneously and got about 400KBytes/sec on each download. With BitTorrent I've seen 2MBytes/sec.
My friends back home in Australia are getting royally screwed - twice the price for 512Kbps capped at 2GB a month! Insane.
Why is it so much higher over there? Is the price much lower in Korea?
I'm an Australian who just moved from living in the USA to living in Seoul. In the US i was paying about $45 a month for RoadRunner. Performance was pretty good at around 3Mbps.
Here in Seoul I've got KT-ntopia which is a fiber-to-the-building 100BaseT-ethernet-to-your-apartment technology. I regularly get 30-50Mbps (yes, 3-5 megaBYTES a second). Unlimited use, and it costs me about $35 a month. Ntopia isn't available to older apartments, but there you can get VDSL (similar speed) or 5Mbps ADSL.
Population density definitely has something to do with it, but not everything. I can't think of any reason you couldn't offer the same service for the same price in a city like NYC. Similar population density and similar type of housing, and I'm sure most of the population nice and close enough to the exchange for VDSL to work.
differ from the request B) GET/scripts/..%c0%2f../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.1
with respect to "identifing yourself"? They both provide the same amount of identity information (an IP address), but I'd argue that A) is authorized and B) is unauthorized.
What about exploiting buffer overflows on an HTTP or DNS server - no password was ever requested, but it gave you a root shell because there was a flaw in the software after you gave it a specially formulated request. Does that make your rootshell access authorized?
There are plenty of other cases where needing a password doesn't cut it as a definition of "authorized access".

The "dut-dut-der-dut-dut-der-dut" interference on amplifiers (and CRT screen distortion) caused by mobiles seems to only occur with GSM900 phones. I was used to it happening all the time when I lived in Australia (where use use GSM900) but I've never had it occur in the US with my GSM1900 or CDMA1900 phones.
Ever heard of conversation of energy?

Where do you think the energy to make the phone vibrate comes from?
Getting energy from the vibrations from the environment around a device is a great idea, but the submitter is on crack about getting more cell phone battery life.
Any extra juice you got would reduce the amount of virbation aparent to the user, so you'd have to spend at least that amount of energy extra to still have a working virate feature. You could have even longer talk time by not vibrating at all.
HELLO? Cingular and Voicestream offer GPRS in their GSM1900 markets. AT&T is also rolling out GSM850 and GSM1900, and offering GPRS phones for their mMode service.
DOH! The day I switch to 802.11a for higher speeds and less interference with my neighbors' 2.4GHz cordless phones, along comes something sure to saturate the local area with 5GHz interference!

My solution is to do nothing.

Right. Check out these stats on the number of counterfeits passed in Australia since introduction of the plastic notes.

BTW regular 5Mbps DSL is about $20-$30 a month. There's also cable for a similar price.

Replace the bad disk with an identical one and ask it to rebuild the array.
Actually, you'd be surprised. MSN messenger is extremely popular amongst Koreans, mainly because:
1) It handles unicode perfectly, required to write Korean text.
2) you can login anywhere any get your contact list, with nothing stored locally. Perfect for the amazingly popular "PC Room" phenomenon.

So how does the request

This is a naive suggestion.

Try one of these. iRiver iFP-195TC 512MB, tiny, 20 hours from a single AA battery. Amazon started selling them last week. I love mine.
OK, so the exploit descriptions seem real and interesting enough, but what was the point of such an over-the-top
