...this maybe? Very nice POE converter by NYC wireless. Tested out to 250 feet. Not exactly the same thing but still cool, and proves you can put useful power in the pairs without causing issues.
I had to call them once on a security issue (some guys redhat boxen was being used to spend stolen cc#'s). Their frontline support guy said they'd "talk to him" about it. I don't think it would've been a landmark case but it would have been an interesting prosecution. The guy was running a default install 2 year old distro with the default apache distribution and page on port 80. Just asking for trouble, if he wasn't trouble himself.
Course I guess that makes them (speakeasy) even cooler to some. Maybe linux friendly (given it's power) should require some linux responsibility too like telling people to patch and update and use a little security here and there and not just create proxies for the mentally advantaged.
I love the wi-fi thing though. They are definitely one of the cooler ISP's. Course most ISP's don't care as long as you drink quietly anyway.
Ok so meatblaster has a little chemistry problem. But so do I, methanol=methane? or a close derivative? Does this mean we can stick a tube up our arses after a particularly lentilicous meal and (with the benifit of an AC (alternate crap) adapter) run various electronics?
HELP!! My tv crashes when the adds come on! (now if I could just get a keyboard hooked up to it)
Surely you're not suggesting any large media news group isn't going to have slanted coverage, or that Anna Banana really loves Hot Todd Turnon and his 7 twin brothers just because she said so in "8 isn't enough".
Except that, you're wrong. Sector, yagi, parabolic, omnidirectional, and other varieties of antennae both linear and circular polarized, are made for all the available unlicensed bands. Not to mention amps and special antenna arrays.
I've worked as an installer for 3 different companies that use 2.4/5.3 and a wide variety of antennae and client devices to create ubiquitous coverage. And it can be done considerably cheaper than G3.
Whoever modded this guy up needs to read past slashdot posts and be more familiar with wifi.
Yeah they'll probably start small by going after "eat at joes" and see if they can work the settlements in to jurisprudence for the big litigation with IHOP.
I've been researching my own patent recently so this is interesting.
Wow, so they managed to keep it pending for 40 or so years. Most impressive. I understand it's actually better to do it that way because once you patent the technology becomes available for reverse-engineering. I thought you could only keep it patent pending for about six years though.
It appears that you can but that the legal ground is a little shaky. Current jurisprudence appears to indicate that this'll get thrown unless unless the chip company caves and settles.
If the purpose of the FCC is to manage a public resource then I don't see cutting off 10-15% of the public as good resource management. Consider that the EBS, the AMBER alert system, and other Broadcast news/law enforcement cooperation schemes (that just don't work as well without pictures) would become less effective to the point that it would cost lives.
Let them eat radio you say? Well, if this flies it's only a matter of time 'til the like of XM or Sirius "talk" some ousted FCC insider com "industry consultant" into suggesting that there may be a better use of the FM band than bandying about the latest Brittney Spears tune.
It also seems like a really bad idea to cut off 15,000,000 plus from PBS for any length of time, we're badly informed enough as is (take my post, please.).
I taught a highschool sumerclass on basic pc construction and networking that included learning to hit cancel to get past the win98 network login. Be afraid...be very afraid.
A very interesting conversation. The constitution has been mentioned a lot. In what I'll refer to as a "preface" to the constitution (the declaration of independence), the founding fathers stated that we had inalienable rights. The top three appeared to be life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We've all done things we're not proud of and that we'd rather not have replayed for large audiences, some more than others. I believe that we can change the past by recreating the effect it has on our future, and that being able to do so is absolutely necessary to anyone, any place, or any nation, pursuing happiness by changing for the better.
What if Johnson is trying to make some kind of a turnaround? Ok so maybe not, and Max could probably be described as somewhat unrepentant himself. But at what point do we lose the right to try to live down our own past?
I submit that free speech was intended as a political right designed to assist in maintaining the basic liberties of it's citizens and not a license for an ass to bray at my front door (technology bringing that close to everyone).
We're all going to die, why not have a little simple respect? The courts and the government will ultimately be unable to govern a people who can't govern themselves. If the pattern of attempted stretching of the constitution and civil law to fit our every whim reaches a critical mass we will lose all the freedom that we can't maintain with whatever weapon we may have within our reach.
More specifically Amperion has some pretty cool powerline telephony solutions involving both wireless and cabled networks.
In the event that you want to try 2.4 with your own towers and/or access points these guys have circular polarized 2.4 antennas between 9 and 12 db. This means they have a degree of ability to pierce tree foliage (largely vertically and horizontally placed) that regular vertically and horizontally polarized antennas don't posess.
I worked as an assistant rf engineer for a wireless ISP for about a year and apparently bandwidth does matter. When writing and refining the business plan we discovered that in order to advertise as broadband (also "high speed") the minimum offered service has to provide 200 kbps at least one way. This is defined in the FCC's Section 706 advanced service inquiry in their second report. The UK I couldn't comment on but you can look here.
I'm not sure why the guy fought it, wasted money. I would've just put "fast" or since they're electrical impulses "lightning fast" or even "three times the speed of dialup!" in the adds.
The way the rules written, one could provide 128 down 200 up, still advertise broadband or high speed, and extend their bandwidth budget a bit. Though I'm betting there would be a test case before too long.
Definitely not an expert but sheps idea sounds good. Especially when combined with a cheap tower in downtown B.F.E. .
If you know the bandwidth
you can build your own antennas (maybe even your own repeater).
Of course you could always build the thing (things?) and just nail it in an appropriately located treen on the high ground.
"The phrase "high tech" doesn't spring out at me here."
I dunno, Isoceles with both hands on the pistol butt, keep the eyes open and on target, breath and squeeze. Sounds good to me.
By the way, big business loves you. They're not in it for the money. They have only your best interest and freedom at heart, And the truth they propose will set us free. At least....thats what I recall from the brainwashing.
Cue corporate image control comercial-
"I really can't talk about it, but I will say this. If we don't watch out, we WILL lose our freedom."
-a personal friend of mine commenting on a large satellite project he was working on.
No doubt...somebody brought their pc into my shop with a nonfunctional printer port. Circuit cities a+ techs wanted to charge them 160$ to install a new parallel port card. I booted it, went into the registry and removed the roughly a dozen or so parallel port entries from hkey-local, killed it in the device manager and checked safe mode for ghost entries. Reboot, port works. Took me 5 minutes and I charged the guy ten bucks. There ain't no substitute for knowin'.
I recall a recent posting concerning the an FCC RFC on proposed opening of analog tv
Wavelengths. At the time I wondered if this could be part of an analog tv closure strategy. Interesting that this should come so hard on the heels. (yes I know they said the technology in question wouldn't interefere...but...this and other possibilities).
I know people who've forced qwest to give them cisco 678's or create a new cap circuit in a dmt available location because they forced the switch from cap to dmt dsl signal type (thus forcing an unwanted technology expense on the customer). Television should be considered under similar technology closure rules as it's actually used as part of the critically necessary national emergency broadcast system!
Personally I'm not a videophile and could care less if the picture is somewhat more crisp, or has new options that I don't really want, what I've got gets the job done for me and I couldn't afford better anyway as I've got a house payment and kids and a job that pays jack in the current economy. If somebody (government, techno-conglomerate) wants to force the gap closure maybe they should give away 1000$ televisions (or maybe a few of those nifty converters)! Hey it IS Christmas after all right?
Perhaps a time will come when some among may use the following handy form I've included! Perhaps evenin response to FCC RFC's on analog TV bandwidth deregulation!

Dear FCC,
I LOVE what you're doing with that nasty "analog loophole". Please get it closed
and send me my free tv or your new family sized "box-o-converters" (with flavor crystals) right away!
