no. i play by the rules. i had thought about maybe setting up my computer to stream so i could listen at work, but i haven't gotten around to it. now that i have reasons to switch to sirius, that won't be necessary anymore since sirius subscribers can already listen on the net (xm requires you to pay an additional $2/mo or so)
satellite radio is very nice. it is definitely worth the $10-$12/mo
i just drove from phoenix to denver about 3 weeks ago. the *only* time i lost the signal was driving through the canyons east of taos, nm. on the way back, i was on the interstate the whole way and never once lost signal. similarly, on a drive from phoenix to lake tahoe 2 years ago, the only time i lost signal was while driving through the canyons at hoover dam
xm has treated me well for the past 2+ years, but i'll soon be switching to sirius (for a few reasons... howard stern, clear channel, sirius lets you listen over the net as part of your subscription, etc)
the XMPCR is a little box that allows you to listen to XM radio on your pc/mac/sun (mac/sun supported by 3rd party apps). it's a little box that has an audio out which you simply plug in to your mic or line-in. it's controlled via usb (the unit internally has a usb->serial adapter which happens to be well supported by *bsd, linux, etc).
the protocol that goes over the usb cable (used to change channels, etc) was reverse engineered, and people started making all sorts of applications to play with them. timetrax is one that allows you to record the music, as well as automatically add the title, artist, etc info to the ripped song
basically, since shark^H^H^H^H^Hlawyer fees have gone through the roof, and licensing hasn't been too hot lately, they could only afford one domain. they drew straws, and bingo
your "Score:5, Insightful" might be justified if you A) would have offered an explanation for "fucking kidding" and B) got the joke about needed a beefier CPU
one day, some of our (i live in az) fellow citizens are bitching about people snooping their wireless access points, the next day we're out inventing a hydrogen vehicle
if these scottsdale residents can actually get the police to start looking into this, i'll be impressed
however, the other cities in phoenix metro, chandler and buckeye to be specific, are much much worse when it comes to the abundance of open aps. north scottsdale is bad too (more new development), but north scottsdale is more or less its own city
on weekends, i'll tend to cruise around and see what's up. because of all of the new construction going on in these parts, and younger families moving in to these new homes, you would actually be hard pressed to drive through most residential neighborhoods in chandler and buckeye(ish... out in that direction) and *not* find an open ap
currently, there are no laws (that i know of) here that are designed to combat wardriving. of my circle of friends that do this, and then their extension of friends, the only problems we've heard of with the law has to do with getting citations for wasting gasoline by way of unnecessary driving (think 'cruising' laws that may exist in your area)
frankly, i think there should be *more* open aps all across the country. rate limit them, proxy them (read, no spammers relaying through port 80), etc. but then again, who here doesn't want free wireless anywhere you go? =)
yea, but the wayback machine has nocat.net back to 4/01. downloads included. whether the 'technology' covered by the patent is there or not is something i didn't check. i wonder if discussion about doing something like that is elsewhere on the site (and if discussion would count as prior art)
i thought their mo was to standardize on technology that is owned by a company that encumbers said technology with unfree terms? say, like vrrp and sender-id?
i mean, i think it's good they're going back to making standards with nice licenses, but was there a change in personnel there recently?
Slashdot Mirror
here
for those without BT, the mp3 is on that page as well
what the FUCK is *INDECENT* jr?
don't like something someone else says? one freedom (which by some odd mystery we still do have) is the freedom to not listen. change the channel
instead, we have militant christian fundamentalists in office, part of some very weird brotherhood, bent on christian domination of world gov'ts.
why on God's green earth would you need a bluetooth enabled car?
I'm sorry, that's a bullshit argument
it contains more unfree stuff in the license. that is the 'MORE STUFF' they will not accept into the tree
take a look at the actual link, compared to what you read. then ...
hint: are you feeling lucky today?

yup. that's why these things are selling for $300+ on ebay. it's crazy
i got lucky and bought mine about 2 months before xm stopped selling them. $49.95 is what i paid

i was picking it up at 10th/Ash tonight
darl left out why they got .net vs. .com and .org

well, it would appear as though the OS on their webserver has been popped. does that count?

will it be encumbered by patents? looking at the contributors, my guess is yes
... i mean, you'll probably need (by the time it comes out) at least a 3.8Ghz P4 and 2G of RAM
snmp v3 works perfectly fine as it is. let's leave well enough alone
but, this will probably work out well for intel

cool

heh. i'm at 10th/Ash. i pick up 'asu' from time to time. i work at the uni
asu is deploying free wireless to downtown
you going to the installfest this weekend?

actually, i already have the patent for access denied pages, so, to answer your question about what's next, it must be something else
what modern OS reminds you the most of your old school OS hacking days? what OS do you think keeps closes to the *nix spirit?
