I know this won't work for everyone, but where I live is between 500' and 2600' above the surrounding terrain. For everyone else, something like this, or better solutions that overcome line of sight and other problems, is exactly what we need to extend access beyond the end of the line, and without expensive and relatively slow connections by other means such as ham radio or cell phone. Likewise, there are many Bush communities and residents all across Alaska and Canada who could benefit from advances like this.
Wow. Over 100 years of automotive technology and this is as far as we've come. The damn thing *still* can't fly. For me that's the greatest drawback to driving on the road: other drivers on the road at the same time. Fortunately we have lots of roads here that a car like that will never get on. And no, flying for most people is not an alternative, considering how many crash at slow speeds in excellent visibility. Hey, how about a car that drives itself? Take the weakest and most insecure component out of the loop.
Oh, right: "If cars were like computers, we'd be driving a flying car that got 1,000 miles to the ounce"
In my opinion, this is a "Must-Read" for anyone charged with web development and especially security. I just downloaded the guide in PDF format, and I find it an excellent read.

Ok, maybe because I live in the Arctic I don't get it. The only problem I ever had with a quality power supply was it got worn out. We do get some glacial silt and volcanic ash, both of which are very fine-grained and abrasive, but water cooling would not have helped that. My current power supply (Antec 450 something) has 3 fans, but they only use them when its needed. (I'm building a case with filtration system).
People, this is not something to play around with. The disclaimers and warning on the site fall far short. It's one thing to cut yourself while monkeying around with a case mod; it's a whole 'nother country when you get a nasty zap, or worse.
Forgive my bluntness, but I find it quite ugly. Also, I don't find a compelling reason to open up my case every day, nor even once a week.
And I'll repeat my complaint: while there are a couple of alterations or perhaps innovations to this case, really it is just more of the same. Do I have something better? Maybe, but I'm still testing it.
It's just tradition. When you are transferred to a new unit, the unit you just came from was the best, even though just a week ago you were yelling "SHORT" (as in short timer) and telling everyone what a suck-ass unit it is. Same with the rations. You could have a piping hot pizza and a six-pack delivered by a hot girl and still someone will complain.
I know MRE's and even old rations are held in high regard in some places, but when I trained with the Brits and French, they had hot and cold running water in their tanks for tea (Brits) and wine in their rations (French). However, I have eaten some local fare that I would gladly go back to MRE's, or even dogs; for example rancid soups, fermented fish heads, and the stomach contents of an ungulate.
Haha, good one. Depends upon your MOS, actually. There are some jobs that don't require testicles, but I won't get into that.
That's where the testosterone patch was supposed to be applied, but I never had one, and probably wouldn't go there, unless I really needed it. I guess I thought it was a funny picture, solders shaving their testicles before a mission to apply 'food patches'. Actually, it's still funny to me. I mean I did some weird things when I was in the Army, but that wasn't one of them.
Many of the negative remarks directed at Linux I see from time to time here are from apparent windows or other proprietary OS users who exhibit signs that would indicate they feel threatened. Could it be because they feel that one of the last obstacles to Linux becoming more popular is in the area of gaming (among others)? That assumption doesn't answer the question. Why? I know why I strongly dislike microsoft, or at least their products and practices, and it isn't because someone else is using it. Frankly, I have made a boatload of money fixing windows screw-ups, but I also have fixed screw-ups on everything from a home box to an IBM mainframe.
I'd be interested in learning the opinions and observations of others. Meanwhile, I shall continue to support the developers of Linux products, as opposed to megacorporate closed-source proprietary/predatory fat cats.
Not like anyone has $1mil to buy it with anyway. A more practicle, and inexpensive, personal exoskeleton flying vehicle is available right not. It's called an ultralight.
When I was in the Army (uh-oh), we'd sometimes not eat but once a day, especially in Ranger school. And a part of that reason was because the meals were so terrible. Oh I hope you never have to eat "Pork, Processed, with Juices" or scrambled eggs and ham that are 5 years old. Now they'll be having soldiers shaving their testicles to apply a food patch. I'll pass on the 're-up', thanks.
He could have written the entire article with this sentence: In the end, the user chooses if your product is worth buying or not. However, that statement, like the rest of the article, proposed nothing new. I don't mean to sound negative, but the article left me wanting.
I've been working on an open-source GIS project for several years and have sold a few copies. I'd love to be able to support myself and a few employees in our venture, and until that happens, I'll just keep working on it, like a prospector searching for a vein of gold.
I'm wondering if we are seeing yet another sign of something shaking loose in Redmond? There's been all these unintended discharges of memos (Halloween, etc.), the deal with their faking 'switch' ads, etc. etc. And now this, appearing as if the left hand disagrees with the right hand. Anyone have info on a compilation of these and other 'slipups'?
I know people have posted this: "The number of claims filed will determine the actual amount of the individual refund but will not exceed $20.00 per claimant. If the number of claims filed would result in refunds of less than $5.00 per claimant, there will be no cash distribution to individual consumers." and say "Why Bother"?
I'll tell you why: Because at the very least we can get some money out of the thieves that today are trying to screw us in other ways. Its too bad we can't use the money to fight the RIAA and their co-conspiritors. I'd waive my refund for such a cause. I'd love to see them punished, and brought to task for their misdeeds.
While it's nice to have an army of hackers working on projects, the fact remains that until the end-user is happy, and I especially mean those who might be interested in switching from Windows or some other proprietary OS, as well as those users who don't care about what their machine is running, just as long as it does what they want it to without having 5 years experience, Linux will be, at best, #2 on the desktop.
That's all? I can think of dozens of things that are way scarier, and last much longer. Try ice climbing, rapelling, free-fall parachuting, open-ocean diving, (and diving under the ice), camping beside a salmon stream in bear country, etc. etc.
The reviewer states; "Google's first move is to ask the court to dismiss the action "for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted." This is an early motion, and usually quite severe;
Actually, it's pretty standard, as are most of the other moves mentioned by the reviewer, and which I read in the filings. No, I'm not a lawyer, but I've worked on lots of cases, including many tort cases, and that's my opinion.

And because they didn't update, and weren't paying attention, and advertised their vulnerabilities, someone rooted their box. Of course, this happens with windows, also.
But I don't have the answer. I can say that I have met a lot of very pissed off people who were burned by computer repair shops large and small, and many had gotten a sour taste after that. However, I also know many people who are or have been burned by lawyers, dentists, auto mechanics, and hair dressers, to name but a few regulated, certified, and supposedly educational requirement driven professions. Then there will always be those who ignore the laws and licensing requirements.
According to the article; "But there is a downside. When a flexonic device breaks, it will be irreparable, because none of the embedded components can be replaced. So the technology will fuel the throwaway society."
Thats the polite term for it. Waste is what it is. And given the current recycling rate, don't expect any relief. Even the author of the article refers to the "throwaway society."
That's what my telephone and DSL are, member owned cooperatives. We are always fending off buy-out offers from nearby commercial-corporate phone companies, but it won't happen. Our electric company is also a member-owned cooperative. I got a check from the phone company last week, my share of the dividend. I wouldn't have it any other way.
