Here here! There is a fair (and by fair, I mean substantial) amount of information-theoretic work going on here.
Simplying combinging the signals doesn't get the job done in MIMO or phased-array situations. These people who did the real work certainly were not code monkeys.
To address you're claim that it doesn't generate yet: it does. I was present on the second generation run on this device. That was within the last year.
Okay, I can understand that a lot of people out there have a real problem with the thought that the NSA may be listening to them. I can understand being mad at them for doing this, but do it really matter? No, it doesn't matter that they maybe be recording the conversation you had with your wife last night. It matters if you plan on blowing something up. In other words, if you don't have anything huge to hide, the NSA really doesn't care that much.
You know, I live in Kansas. I've lived hear for about 7 years now. It's too bad that evolution got screwed over by the Board of Education. That's what we get for living in the bible belt. It's so sad that people do this kind of thing...
Yeah, women do drain your productivity and your wallet, but you can't live without them... I had no idea what I was missing (or how much money can be wasted on her) until I had a girlfriend for a while. What a difference...
Okay, so anyway, talk to a few engineers who think that computer science is pulling people away from really LEARNING about the problem before writing any software, and you will quickly pick up that they like to use the words "bit twiddlers." I kind of find this funny.
Oh yeah, I also vote for "toolers" -- in honor of MIT's "tooling."
First of all, I like Apple and there machines. Say what you will - I'll agree that the OS can use A LOT of fixing (soon to be remedied by OS X - not server, just OS X). I will even agree on the pricing issue, macs cost much more than PCs.
Secondly, QUIT FREAKIN' complaining about things like the case. Look, do you really think that Apple is targeting the slashdot audience? Well, do ya? No...They are trying to draw in "normal" people - you know them, the people who aren't like most of said audience?
Mac OS X server - I'm sorry, Mac OS X server and Linux ARE NOT equal by any means. Sure, they may be able to do some of the tasks, but I'm betting a lot of people are willing to buy an OS that is well supported (you can't get this level of hardware/OS support any where other than commercial establishments). And another thing, Linux is by no means easy to setup. Mac OS X Server is infinitely easier to setup. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, but sometimes this cult-like following needs to admit a few things - like Linux isn't the most user freindly OS in the world (and I don't want to hear those people out there who will pipe up and say, "Oh yes, Linux is VERY user friendly, in fact, the other day I...", etc. - stop bloating you ego/image).
Price - you all are usually comparing build your own machines to Apple's. Well, stop. Compare to name brand machines. Macs are still more expensive than PCs. Two reasons: Apple sort of needs to keep its profits up. You can't do that with a small consumer following and low prices, you, sadly, have to charge more. Apple has been trying, one can see from the drastically lower prices of new macs, to bring costs down. Reason two: Many may not agree with me, but I believe that Apple machines have better quality parts, and thus a higher reliability. I've seen all sorts of things go bad on PCs, all over the place - more so than on a macs.
I have to agree on the mouse and keyboard - especially the 2/3 button problem.

No joke. I'm surprised he still has a job.

Now, can we get off the NSA fixation?
Walk around MIT.:-) Not quite the same thing.

Uh, so anyway, Rob, you're hardened to the core...
