...and this was a very low amped, narrow beam-width p2p link.
The FCC would probably applaud these students for their work. I've sat in on an FCC seminar on WiFi, and they're 100% behind WISP technology, and see it as a small bright spot in what has been a very bleak period for technology.
Bastards. Byron Farrington (CEO apparent) is one of the grandest scumbags ever. I've met him personally, thought he was pretty cool...until he screwed over so many people, including my own company.
1. They don't care. It's a p2p link. If they were using an Omni, then perhaps. But that fact that it's a narrow spread and p2p, they're fine. Not to mention it was an educational endeavor and not a commercial one.
2. 1.5 watt amp is fine. Given the strength of the radio and the low gain of the antenna, they were well within range. I'm too lazy to look up the limits right now, but they're well within the legal limits.
1. Unsure of FCC regulations. Experiment could not be put into commercial application
The part15 rules would allow this so far as amplification goes. The part that would get you into trouble in a commercial application is the fact that your antenna, radio, and amp are not FCC certified as a system. You can't take a certfied amp, a certified radio, and a certified antenna, throw them together and call it a 'system'. You have to certify each combination individually, which costs roughly $10k. That being said, if you were were going to sell more than 10 of them, it would be worth the money.
2. Better inventory of equipment.
Spectrum analysis would probably be good too. Search for the least impeded part of the spectrum using peak hold, and use that area. Probably could have gotten better throughput that way. Just plug your antenna into the SA and viola!
3. Better P.R. and release of information to the public.
Local newspapers have been latching onto wireless broadband around here...especially ConvergeNow, which claimed a launch a year ago...one of the biggest wireless broadband scams EVER. And I had the misfortune of being a tech in a legally binding contract with them to help deploy. Screwed individuals out of thousands on their credit cards.
4. Smaller teams with designated responsibility and tasks. Groups were to large for interactions
Makes sense.;)
5. Defined budget - working within a budget
That being said...someone want to lend me about $50k to finish up deployment in St. Louis? We're not on 2.4Ghz, and it's good tech!:)

If video games affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, chomping on magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a vaporware hack or hwat. It's been described as an analog hole hack.

Unelss he's written a prog that captures the analog playback and re-encodes in a non-DRM'ed ACC format (which is what it sounds like), then the Register article makes no sense at all.
Even if it is for real, man he just begs for trouble, doesn't he?
SpamCop works on fighting spam. They get an investor.
Happy day!
Um...I've read several posts that say IronPorts is a good company, so no worries about current customers being abused - good, so my internal gut feelings about privacy issues are abated.
I haven't used SpamCop personally, so this is only an impression, however I'm a strict hater of blacklists (blocklists?), and that's how SpamCop is being described.
I personally opt for SpamAssassin Milter, although any method of plugging into SA would suit me, simply because it's so highly customizable, open source, and I don't have to worry about a list going down or suddenly blocking everyone, which has NEVER happened recently (would have linked to the appropriate/. article, but I'm feeling lazy right now).
Now am I that far off? Are there redeeming qualities about SpamCop that I'm overlooking that make this blocklist a good thing? Who controls who's blocked? Is it fair? Is there a human contact when things go awry?

Taking that tripped out table lamp and turning it in as a new computer design, and getting your boss to actually believe it and sell it? Hey, that's just part of the job.
"You were just stoned."
But wait! Why do better than that, when you can just start putting tackier and tackier large displays on the front? Why waste time away from your bong (which now looks suspicously like a new computer), when you can keep up your sumpin' sumpin'?
I have to admit, I never really pictured Nokia to be the lonely, under-stimulated type. So far as controlling Sybian, I've never seen one personally, but from what I've read Sybians have fairly simple, yet robust controls, I don't really think it would be neccessary to purchase Psion to get the desired results.
Oh, and so far as 'remaining open', I think it would go completely against the design of Sybian to go closed. I mean you would lose most available functionality by closing up all of a sudden. </deadpan<
Erm, no. This is for NetBSD PPC. With rare exception, that means on mac hardware. There are exceptions though...IBM released some rather nice PPC970 hardware recently in 1U form factor....look here.
If that works, then it would be of MARGINAL interest to me. Okay, I admit. More than that.;)
Running Darwin has no interest in itself, but having it working ensures
that our IOKit (1) emulation is good enough to be used . The real target now is MacOS X's WindowServer. WindowServer is like XDarwin for the quartz displaying system, which is used natively by MacOS X applications.
See the status page at http://hcpnet.free.fr/applebsd.html for more informations.
They're trying to get the OSX environment running on NetBSD instead of Darwin. I'm failing to see the point of this other than a different package manager...anyone else see a benefit to this? Drivers? Cheaper hardware? All looks the same to me...
Are you trying to get to a point where you can run any OSX binary, including the Cocoa/Aqua environment itself?
Nifty for sure, but you start to wonder about the usefulness of this...I mean, in order to legally use the more interesting, useful parts of the OS, you would have to own a copy of OSX, unless for some reason the soft Unix underbelly of Darwin doesn't fit your needs, and you want a more traditional BSD, but still be able to use the OSX GUI.
If you're making a unix binary compatibility for just standard CLI or X-Windows, it cries out of 'what's the point'.

Some city in Cali does what I would LOVE to do here in St. Louis.

There's simply not enough tech-savvy people around here to make it worth the money.

Quite spreading FUD.
Thanks a ton. I don't use 2.4Ghz usually, too crowded, but good info nonetheless. Thanks!

For two reasons:
1. They don't care. It's a p2p link. If they were using an Omni, then perhaps. But that fact that it's a narrow spread and p2p, they're fine. Not to mention it was an educational endeavor and not a commercial one.

I follow you now...uber_cool device gets released for Macintosh. Specialized device, no BSD drivers written.
IOKit allows these drivers to work on NetBSD/PPC.
Nice.
Ah, okay. I couldn't verify it because the article the story references is gone now.
If those boxes exist or will be released then I'd be interested.
Erm, no. This is for NetBSD PPC. With rare exception, that means on mac hardware. There are exceptions though...IBM released some rather nice PPC970 hardware recently in 1U form factor....look here.
