Then again, the baby monitor doesn't seem to have a very good FH implementation at all. If I understand the third graph on that page, it would seem that while the monitor doesn't prevent the network card from functioning, it does severly reduce bandwidth.
Of course it does. There's no free lunch; introducing noise into the 802.11 signal will reduce the 802.11 throughput.
A device which uses FHSS for privacy will look basically the same on an analyzer. The difference would be that the frequency sequence would have a much longer pseudorandom repeat cycle. An attacker who can listen on all channels at once can negate the usefulness of FHSS for privacy.
To someone without the key, frequency hopping "looks like" random noise.
No, it doesn't. It looks pretty much like you'd expect -- spikes in power more-or-less uniformly (but discretely, not continuously) distributed over some part of the spectrum.
I worked myself out of a job -- I partnered with a friend who needed someone to run the technology for a company he'd bought. I did such a good job of improving the infrastructure and training the junior sysadmin that we got to a point where we agreed that my six-figure salary did not make sense anymore. We parted ways, mostly amicably.
Sounds like you should have demanded some equity up front. But the technology guys always get screwed by the business guys, it's just the way of the world.
Ultimately, I realized that the problem with IT is that it is a cost center.
With that realization in hand, I started re-shaping my career to get into product development.
Unfortunately, product development is also a cost center. If you don't want to be in a cost center, you have to be in sales.
Basically it allows us to feel warm and fuzzy about coal power without actually doing anything to reduce the net amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Imagine how coal friendly politicians will use this... they'll say "Look, we recycle CO2! Coal is Good again!" And few people will do the math and realize that recycling CO2 doesn't actually reduce the amount of CO2 released. It just delays it.
That's not so. If you can produce the same amount of energy from coal as you do without this process, plus synthetic fuel which replaces fossil fuel, then you have reduced the amount of CO2 released, in the quantity of the amount of CO2 which would have been released by the displaced fossil fuel.
Maybe this should help everyone realize just what a bad, bad idea coal power really is, especially when we have much better alternatives.
The available (today) alternatives are natural gas (still a fossil fuel, still produces CO2, outrageously expensive per BTU), oil (same thing, plus the Middle East issues), and nuclear (waste, politics). Hydro, wind, geothermal, and solar simply cannot provide enough energy given current technology.
Plenty of companies sell photos of artwork, which has passed into the public domain. But they claim a copyright on the photo. That's a problem.
School pictures are another one. They've got an assembly-line process to "create" the pictures, but they get the benefit of copyright (thus being able to charge exorbitant fees for reprints) anyway.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority attempted to use the DMCA to censor a film of a collision recorded by an automated tollbooth camera, based on their owning the copyright on the film.
A vaccine against nicotine would not eliminate your cravings for nicotine. Rather, it would prevent nicotine from doing so either. It wouldn't make quitting less brutal, it would make the brutality inescapable.
Crack is cocaine, and is therefore as physically addictive (or not so) as cocaine. It might hit the system too fast for the immune system to react, though, bypassing this "vaccine".
(Would I vaccinate my child? Fuck no. Doing so falls into the same category as clitordectomy, if not the same severity)
Obviously there are not very many Slashdotters who have worked in security or conducted interviews/interrogations.
Perhaps not. But not having conducted them doesn't mean not having been the subject of them, and not liking it.
Although the primary interest is Terrists this procedure can also be used to weed out Assorted Annoying People. Aggressive and drunken Englishmen, Texans and fashion models come to mind.
Uh, fashion models can usually be picked out by appearance -- 6' or more tall, very slim, usually small chest, vacant or supercilious expression, "fashionable" clothes, plenty of makeup. (not to be confused with female athletes, who lack one or more of the vacant expression, fashionable clothes, and makeup).
Aggressive and drunken Englishman and Texans are obvious. You can distinguish between them by their accent and clothing, but there's really no need to; avoid both.
Finally, he's noting key points of your answers which he's going to threaten to check -- and may actually check if the rest of it gives him any concern. "Where did you go?", "Who did you meet with?", "Do you have his business card?", etc. The answers to the questions are important, but even more important is their effect, which is to rattle you.
Apparently you DO become your enemies. Or, at least, the Stasi used the same techniques, and they presumably got it from the Gestapo.
Funnily enough, I had to go through a heap of pyjama-striped paper not long ago. I'm not that confident anymore. I noticed the ink had turned very pale, and some pages were barely readable.
Are you sure it wasn't that pale to begin with?
Anyway, the thing about the impact printed stuff is that even if the ink fades away completely, the information will almost certainly be recoverable with some effort, because of the compression of the paper fibers. Doesn't help you if the paper deteriorates of course.
..unless you do it professionnaly on acid and bleach free paper, with real ink. Laser toner won't stick to paper for more than 10 ~ 15 years, after that it begings to turn back to powder. Thermal (old fax) paper is worse, inkjet printers are marginaly better but don't expect anything to last over 30 years with home and office printing technologies.
I have plenty of laser-printed documents older than that, with no sign of deterioration.
Dot matrix impact printed documents should last a good long time as well.
I think the maintenance issues will sink this idea on the large scale. The pipes have to be close to the surface to take advantage of the heat, but that's where they are exposed to the most stress from both traffic and weather-related expansion and contraction.
And as Ron Paul also said, "I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in [Los Angeles] are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
Just trying to see if anyone checks these things out? Your source -- which gets it from a posting on talk.politics.misc by a white supremicist, so it's not particularly reliable -- claims that Paul said that about black males in the District of Columbia, not Los Angeles.
While Accenture was once under the Arthur Andersen umbrella, they are not the organization which did the Enron books. In fact, they, prior to the debacle, sued to break away from Arthur Andersen and lost the (at the time prestigious) name in the process. This later turned out to be a win/win for them.
All stores that I've seen will allow you to get a "Club Card" or equivalent without giving any personal information.
But they probably link it up first time you slip up and use a debit/credit card to pay. Using different "cards" prevents that.
So does using the phone number the last guy used. Or in a pinch, just make one up in a local exchange; the chance of it working likely isn't too bad. Hmm, I just had a thought... what if you give the store's own main number? They probably have a card keyed to that.
Darn it, now Acme* is going to read this and put a stop to my fake-discount-card ways. (they'll accept any code with the right length and first three digits... amusingly including other supermarket's cards).
*That's the grocery store, not Roadrunner's coyote-torturing company.
If they're not going to ship Appleworks free anymore, they should at least help fix the one real alternative to Word. Why should we pay 1100 for a computer and then over 100 more for software to type a freaking letter or directions on how to use the computer??
Um, try TextEdit. It comes with the computer and it'll type a freaking letter.
I'd hate to live half a life for fear of losing my job.
the best way to avoid that is to be independent, ie to start a business.
Then you live your whole life in fear your business will fail. Well, except for the large majority of the time that you spend working to hopefully make your business succeed.

A check at bmwusa.com reveals no diesels for sale, though googling reveals one is planned.

You can't crack CO with a catalytic cracker. CO is already "fully cracked".
That's not so. If you can produce the same amount of energy from coal as you do without this process, plus synthetic fuel which replaces fossil fuel, then you have reduced the amount of CO2 released, in the quantity of the amount of CO2 which would have been released by the displaced fossil fuel.

Coal's looking pretty good to me.

Yes, at 32 ft/s^2. But most Americans like it that way. Freedom has neither constituency nor (credible) champion nowadays.
