Mine radios used to be manufactured by SAAB Grintek, but was sold to a company called Guduza, which promptly disappeared without trace.
These radios used a 100kHz carrier and was basically inductive radios, using the shoulder strap as an antenna. It could penetrate 100m of solid rock. During that journey, it would typically find some piece of metal - pipes, railway tracks, whatever - couple to that and provide communications throughout an underground mine.
So it seems that this guy is re-inventing 1970s technology. It is a proven concept and should work well.
Well, that doesn't 'solve' anything. You still need to reboot for some updates to take effect. Granted, for UNIX machines, you also need to reboot when you update the kernel, but that is only needed about once a year.
It pops up a window saying something like: Updates are being downloaded. For some of these updates to take effect, your machine will reboot in approximately 4 minutes. Then you get the option to reboot later, in case you are working on something. So I guess that if your machine is set to do its updates at the default 3am then it sometimes reboots without your knowledge.
I think that headline should read: "Neally created millions of McJobs." Where would the fast food industry be without the heavy Geek consumption and where would Geeks be without the minimum wage burger flipping jobs?
I think you need the prize for the best optimization.
BTW, I actually wrote a BASIC program about 10 years ago. I needed a quick 'n dirty (but good looking - to impress the client) control program for a Windows box and Liberty BASIC did the trick. Lirty is a neat compiler and best of all, it is not made by MS...

Of course, but Fourbucks or T-mobile, can't reasonably do more than what they are doing. If you want to walk in front of a train, it isn't reasonably someone else's fault.
They do not use encryption, but the routers do provide a firewall - meaning that they will not allow unrequested incoming connections to the patrons. So there is some basic client protection. For that matter, even the worst linksys/netgear/whatever routers do that.
I have seen these Warner DVDs at a Canadian truck stop for CAD0.99 which is about USD0.85 - or are these the pirate copies? The US truckers buy stacks of them...
Hmm, I once saw the effect on a screener when my wife walked into a most secure government building with her handgun in her purse. The poor guy almost had a heart attack and was still shaking when we left the building a couple hours later and collected the handgun from his safe again. The worst is that this old guy with his X-ray machine was the last one in the chain - we already passed through two previous check points without incident...

Wow, accurate to 3 digits - hot damn. That is amazing accuracy for an extrapolation from what - one data point?
As a non-American, I think you have a good sense of humour. However, I fear that all Anonymous Cowards are now targeted by Echelon...

Uhmmmm... Enable WinXP auto download of updates and watch it reboot all by itself once a day.
Hmm, maybe you should not check your own website so often... ;)
No, like Socrates, they prefer to go barefoot...

That would be too simple - who's going to buy that? ;)

You can optimize that;

Yup, like copper for example. I guess that would be too simple - you can't get venture capital for adding copper bars to a chip...
can easily ruun my car for 150,000km. So, using a battery car ain't gonna save me nutthin...
In Dog we trust...
You know, 7-Zip really is better... ;)
Hmm, so the old woman was wrong, the earth is not perched on the back of a turtle, it is dinosaurs all the way down...
It puts a whole new spin on the big asteroid that killed the dinosaurs story: Splat!!!
It is a really bad play on the Roman numerals for 64. It seems to be bad in other espects too..

Yup, you are about the only person with a clue here, but why the Nigerian capitals? "This router uses FOUR MILLION BITS encryption!" ;)

Well, Wine is exactly that - a Windows API on Linux. So Apple wishes to port Wine to BSD?
