  1. Re:That's Nothing! on Birth of a Motorized Surfboard · · Score: 1

    You can find them used on eBay for around $300 or buy them new at www.aquascooter.com

    I have heard of an attachment that allows you to connect a scuba regulator and go down to about 80 feet. I also have an electric one called an AquaSub but the batteries really start to die out after about 15 minutes of heavy use. I can usually go all day on just 1 liter of gas with my AquaScooter!

    How about an UNDERWATER gas powered AquaScooter? Great for fighting the current when snorkeling for lobsters here in Florida!

    F'cking hilarious! I'm glad that I am not the only person here on Slashdot that has probably seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" over 100 times. My old room-mate in college once told me that after passing out drunk, I was reciting the words to the movie in perfect sync. Kind of scary...

    I know what ROT13 encoding is - shift the ASCII code charcters by 13 places or something like that. What does "BOFH" stand for?

  7. War-Flying / Monitoring Unencrypted Radio on Study: Wi-Fi users Still Don't Encrypt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My father and I have gone "war-flying" at 500 feet above residential areas in his Cessna 120 (2 seater airplane) and have literaly picked up HUNDREDS of open and unencrypted AP's within minutes. From what I understand, it is completely legal to listen in and monitor any radio frequency, so long as it is not encrypted and you do not publish any of the content.

    For fun in college, my buddies and I used to terrorize our fellow dorm mates by listening in on their cordless telephone conversations using a police scanner. We would call them back and mention parts of their conversation in amusing ways. We were always kind of hoping that we would overhear a girl say "I'm so horny right now" and then go knocking on her door at just the right moment. We were pretty pathetic...

  9. Re: THIS IS VERY COOL! on Contiki on Ethernut · · Score: 1

    I wrote something kind of similar that streams audio remotely by way of a FM tuner card I have installed in my FreeBSD server at home (ADSL 1.2 Mbps down / 225 upstream). Let the slashdotting begin!

    http://zmaster.dyndns.org/fm_radio/

    You control the frequency on the FM tuner card remotely, unless of course someone else is listening and changes the channel. The 'stereo' and 'signal' indicators on the radio actually work and are queried from the FM tuner card itself. If anyone knows of a similar project (I haven't seen any so far) please let me know!

    I wrote the PHP / Java applet so that my father (an avid HAM radio / RFI hunter) can listen to bootleg radio stations broadcasting here in Miami Florida all the way from his house in Colorado.

    Here is the link of audio samples on his site I created (presets are of local pirate radio stations here in Miami):

  12. Fewer Errors in TCP/IP Stack? on Open Code Has Fewer Bugs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Reasoning examined the TCP/IP stack and found fewer errors in Linux" The TCP/IP stack in Linux (and for that matter, most operating systems) was borrowed from BSD. Shouldn't this comparison be a testament to quality BSD instead of Linux?

  14. Re: SOUTH Florida on GENRIP for Ultra Low Cost Wireless Deployments · · Score: 1

    It matters to me since I live in Miami, Florida! South Florida is known as the gateway to latin america and it has a strong technology workforce. Too bad I recently got laid off and have to do freelance work from home. Maybe "Design On Demand, Inc." is accepting applications?
