  1. Re:But not to Nestle. on California Looks To the Sea For a Drink of Water · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you dilute the brine with seawater (just pump seawater into the discharge pipe) before its final discharge, or discharge at low pressure over a large area.

  2. Re:Apple is exposed to China operations on Apple Leaves Chinese CNNIC Root In OS X and iOS Trusted Stores · · Score: 1

    Or you could just stop trusting that cert. It's pretty easy, there's even a GUI.

  3. Yes, but not Canopy on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 1

    BTW, Canopy isn't use as much any more. Lots of Ubiquiti and Mikrotik gear- both of which are capable of much much faster than 7Mbps if you can find a willing WISP.
    With Ubiquiti a pair of PowerBeams will push ~80Mbps for less than $200. AirFiber will go to about 800Mbps for about $2100 a pair

  4. Integrate the LTE Chip on Intel Will Reportedly Land Apple As a Modem Chip Customer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would hope this is a step toward Apple integrating the LTE chip into an Intel produced Apple A9 or A10. Intel clearly has the best process for performance per watt and Apple clearly wants to integrate as many things as possible into the package.

    Expired certificates may be presented as valid. Or, in a DOS scenario valid certificates may not be honored.

  7. Re:If you don't authorize it, it can't divulge inf on Ask Slashdot: Affordable Large HD/UHD/4K "Stupid" Screens? · · Score: 1

    BTW, I had a 802.11 CPE that I needed to disconnect for a minute, keeping the power on. Rather than pull it off the mount I wrapped it completely, dish and all in foil but...it stayed connected and kept passing data. This is a 2 mile connection at 5Ghz 100mW TX power, a Ubiquiti NanoBridge M5 22dBi. I put on two more layers and finally it disconnected. So play it safe, 3 layers.

  14. TIA on Carbon-Negative Energy Machines Catching On · · Score: 1

    "a guy running a corn mill in Uganda with a PowerPallet will never need to open that door and never will"

    I live in Africa and I can verify that this is a foolish thing to say. We have to open all kinds of doors never meant to be opened and fix thing using materials and tools that in any other place might seem like a joke. But we can, and we do, not because we don't know better but because the things we need to fix were engineered to be used in friendly climates by people who grew up with machines and who value the benefit of the machine more than the selling price of a part, even for scrap. They were constructed economically and without a clever friend they die much much earlier than they were intended to.

    Who cares about China, if you don't trust whoever compiled it, it should be in a sandbox. This is THE argument for open source.

    If the top 1% earns 40% of the countries income, they are going to need to pay 40% of the taxes.

    Ummm, you know that the top 1% contributes more than 35% of taxes already, right?

    If we want to keep spending like crazy monkeys then we need to tax everyone like crazy monkeys.

  21. Re:Old PC + pfSense on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Because the power to run a Pentium 4 for 2 years would cost more than getting a modern little embedded box.

  22. Unifi on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 5, Informative

    If the only think keeping you from a controller based solution is cost try Ubiquiti's Unifi. You can run without a controller and if you need one you can use any old embedded box. http://www.ubnt.com/unifi
