So now my $8k multi-channel wireless microphone system (UHF 66-68) will be shut down by someone setting up the latest-and-greatest 44Mbps wireless access point, and it's only gonna go to their 256k DSL modem anyway.

It takes a lot of money to light up each end of a fiber strand. If the 5% that's lit cost a couple-hundred million to do, then the remaining 95% would cost tens of billions. That said, it's an absurd figure to toss out. Nobody is interested in the cost to bring ALL of the dark fiber up to full capacity -- of COURSE that would cost a lot of money -- but it may be of interest to, say, double the capacity usage in a given pipeline/trench. --
I could buy some unused fiber, and my business would run drops to peoples homes. Can you say "OC12 in the living room"?
No, I can only say OC-12 in the NOC downstairs. I can say STS-12c in the living room though.
But have you ever heard the phrase "last mile problem"? The plethora of "Dark Fiber" expose' stories never seem to mention that the excess potential bandwidth is on the backbone. Getting from a well-connected site to your living room is still an expensive proposition.
The curious thing (at least what I find curious) is that the cost of running a 10 or 100M ethernet connection to your home is not that different from the cost of running GigE, or even STS-x (1, 3, 12, 192) to your home. It's the same economic situation that led to the 95% dark fiber pipelines -- WHAT is in the ground is a negligible cost compared to the price of getting it INTO the ground. --
Sounds of 165 dB would cause a person's hair to catch fire from the frictional heating caused by air undergoing such intense compression and expansion. Yeah, but what if I want to keep a human head in my fridge? Won't the hair catch fire and warm up the fava beans? --

GEN H-4 flighted in Sun 'n Fun 2002 airshow at Lakeland, Florida.
This pilot was Jon Plummer.
His flight-tech is very nice and fantastic.
His what is what?

Can you see someone controls GEN H-4??
Of cource, it is a radio controlled model. As you know, we can't several tests of GEN H-4 by manned in Japan. Because of Japanese reguration isn't suitable to develop new airplane. Therefore we developed the radio controlled model. The porpose pf this model is not only tests but also an aerial film and such.
I'm not trying to mock someone for communication skills in a second language. (My japanese is horrid, for example) but my earnest fear is that some critical safety information would be lost in the translation. ("Oh, so sorry. I meant to say DON'T press that button while in flight!") --
Didn't Aristotle also posit that light comes from within the eye? IIRC, it was based in part on interviews with guys who had received a sword to the head (opening an eyeball) who reported a bright flash of light at the point of impact, and darkness thereafter. --
What kind of (dis)advantage would this give in the aquatic events?
A somewhat Darwinian one, perhaps?
OT: Reminds me of lifeguard training from my youth. There really was nothing to prepare you for the first time you retrieve the 10lb brick from the bottom of the 14' (4m) end of the pool. You get down there, you grab the brick and look to the surface, then you try to swim with just your feet kicking, and the surface just ain't getting any closer! --
My memory isn't the best, so I may well have a detail wrong.
Evi did an analysis of the algorithm. The point on which she concentrated her efforts was the pairs of large factors(? primes? Pairs of numbers, but I don't recall why they were paired) Normally, one of these numbers is present in the key, the other in the cyphertext. By making use of large numbers of cycles (ran her code on the "burn-in" floor for Prime supercomputers for several months) she developed a large set of these pairs. Given this large list, one can take one number from the cyphertext and simply look up the key. No, she doesn't have all possible values. No, she technically hasn't broken the algorithm. Practically speaking, her presentation consisted of taking a 5000+/etc/passwd file, and decrypting more than 99% of the passwords in a few minutes on a Sun3 workstation.
The NSA has her code. The NSA has her database of numbers, and certainly knows how to run her code to increase the size of the database.
Do I know that this is true? Of course not. I believe these things because Evi told me how she did her work, and that she gave her data and source to the NSA.
You only posted this comment so you could use the "word" "cantenna."
Ok, you caught me. <grins>
Guess who's smarter than you. Yup, the NSA.
I have no doubt of that. And I'd wager huge sums that the person to crack the new encryption won't be me. (Mess with the NSA? That's the last thing I'd do! Yes, there are two ways to interpret that statement. Yes, both are true.) But I also expect it will take about a week after the first network goes live before it's broken. --
Misspelling the word "too" in your.sig is a capital offense.
Gack... The perils of cut-paste when your source is/.
Hey CowboyNeal, Taco, Anyone -- when you select "Freaks" from your homepage here, the cute message misspells "too" --
I wasn't able to find this in the press release. Does anyone know if the encryption algorithm would be public key based, or would it be DEC or something like that?
If you mean DES, not DEC, don't hold your breath. Evi Nemeth at the University of Colorado had effectively reversed DES in 1991, and the NSA has her work.

Ever visit www.whitehouse.gov? Ever type.com at the end by mistake?
A good friend did (a few jobs ago -- huge company, had formal policies in place to fire you if you used company resources to look at porn)
The irony was that this was the most innocent, conservative guy you'd ever meet. I just heard "uh oh, oh dang, oh, help! They're opening windows faster than I can close them!" over the cubie walls.

Ok, so you've ID'd an unauth. access. You block the MAC addr at the access point. The next problem is re-enabling a MAC Address when an authorized person either runs a sniffer for fun or generates a false-positive. --
I haven't used the presets in my car for months. The local college radio here is AM1190, pretty decent sound for an AM station, but the same content is available as a high-bit rate stereo stream from Radio1190.org
I realise that this isn't an alternative distribution medium, but it will hook you up with great indie and local music. (local to Boulder CO in this case)
--
an Infrared LED would probably work great with optical mice and their cheap CCD's.. maybe even better than red. Kind of like some Logitech mice/trackballs do? (like the one on my desk right now?) --
I fear you think too highly of this generation's memory Never attribute to cultural literacy that which can adequately be attributed to a simple rhyme.

- One of them gets detected with a pringles can across the street from an NSA office
