  1. And in Other News... on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 1

    Chinese hackers have already learned to reverse engineer the spread spectrum control and flight patterns to re-deploy those 3k of bombs right back on the air field.

  2. IP "Incumbent" Telephone Service on VOCAL: Open Source VoIP Software for Linux · · Score: 1

    I live in a small town in Illnois where Verizon has graciously decided to charge us a connect fee for Every call... even if it never gets past our local loop... SO, What about taking this technology to build "In-town" phone services, connecting out-of-town calls for the expected rate?

    Is this something that could be explored?

  3. 10 ways a linux box can save your butt.. on Teaching Linux/Unix Basics to Microsoft Junkies? · · Score: 1

    when NT Domain goes down, here is how you set up Samba in 10 minutes while your techies spend 4 hours trying to figure it out.

    Make a list of NT Services and the make a list of quick linux fixes for each of those services when the NT Service goes down.

  4. Yet another piece of startrek on GNU Radio · · Score: 1

    "I've configured the main computer to search all open channels for communications, so we gave it a blast at the XXXhz range to see if it would trigger a response"... "Any siugnificantly advanced modern-day technology is just trying to make StarTrek/StarWars a reality" - me

  5. Link to my comment on Geo-Encryption: Global Copyright Defense? · · Score: 1
  6. I hereby claim prior art! on Geo-Encryption: Global Copyright Defense? · · Score: 1

    There was an article some while back along similar lines, and I posted a comment about how you could use the LAT/Long as a key and then give someone a clue like "read this where I cut my foot when I was 7" ... Knew I should have applied for patent!

  7. homecd on New, Flexible CDs Arrive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember a c-source project called homeCD that would print a postscript image of data sent to it as an ISO image, so you could literally print a REALLY low-data CD on anything, even paper... a few meg at best... you could print on transparency and back with foil for the same affect. Hope they haven't tried to patent the idea.

  8. "Retinal Envelope" on Determining Color Difference Using the CIELAB Model? · · Score: 1

    The pigments of the eye give you an envelope of useful distances.. anything that falls in the envelope will give you a good match, anything outside the envelope will appear "non-sensical" .. assuming you were terachromat, then the difference woould be obvious... imagine a cube.. now imagine your visual ability fell within an oddly shaped balloon inside the cube... this would also give you a working algorythm to judge whether R-G colorblind and others would be able to view a combination. You, an "average" person could create the envelope by judging randomly selected pairs, and drawing the appropriate shape in 3d from there.

  9. New Spy trick! on Writing Messages In Empty Space With GPS · · Score: 1

    Send an encrypted message, but use the GPS coordinates as the key!.. send an encrypted message "Go where I cut my foot badly as a child"... wow, I can almost read the spy novel, you get to use locations that only two people know about... walk around taking coordinates, and then later send messages usingthose coordinates as keys.

  10. OpenUuniversity on Get a Free MIT Education · · Score: 1

    Anyone want to create a forum/online university? Since people might not go for "virtual degrees", you could offer low cost testing and completion - kind like brainbench and others, but based on MIT and other corricula.

    Anyone game?
