I wonder if there are hidden shortcomings to this technique. If it only costs $5, I would think that manufacturers of wireless access points would have implemented this a long time ago (or at least made it available as a $40 add on).
The most likely shortcoming is that it probably violates the FCC rules about how much power an unlicensed transmitter can put out.
All they nned to do is to restrict SMTP outbound connections to their own mailservers.
At which point I call them up and bitch loudly because they've just cut off my ability to send e-mail. I've got Comcast cable, but I don't use their e-mail system. I use a couple of third-party systems so I can drop an address if it starts getting too much spam.
Forget non-standard ASCII. How about a program that allows any keypress as a charcter in the password? I've run across one program that allowed that, and my password on that system includes both the capslock key and the backspace key -- even if someone's looking over my shoulder while I type the password, they're not going to get it.
So, we aren't due for another ice age for another 14,000 years at that rate (assuming that an increase in temperature equates to an ice age, as some of the global warming crowd have claimed), if your comment is based on accurate, scientific information, which I would love to read if you happen to have it around. How do people arrive at that? Computational models? Reminds me of a quote: "lies, damn lies, and statistics."
The temperature shift that triggered the last ice age is based on analysis of isotope ratios in Greenland ice cores and other locations. Hard facts here, not computational modelling or estimates.
"Hayabusa, which is Japanese for "falcon", will act much like its namesake, descending to the asteroid's surface, capturing its prey and returning it to Earth."
Presumably it'll let go of it before coming back? otherwise it'll be the biggest space sample ever collected.
Since the sample is just asteroid fragments broken off by a bullet, it'll hold on to them.
The worrying mission is ESA's "Rosetta" mission. That one's going to harpoon an entire asteroid.
From where I'm sitting right now, I can see two hydro plants that generate a sizable fraction of the city's power. Between the two of them, they've flooded maybe an acre of land. Wonderful thing, waterfalls.
If you have access to Science News, read here and stop talking about substantive Global Warming. 0.005C in 14 years is insubstantial. This is the only time anyone has bothered to "slip a thermometer under the tongue of the planet." Anything else is measuring the temperature of passing wind, or something localized, like melting ice.
Five degrees is all it took to trigger the last ice age.
My point is they dilute the "whitehouse" brand, and confuse people. Which of the four "whitehouse" sites is the President's page, which one is the porn site, which one is the parody, and which one is the political site?
Unfortunately, the article didn't mention price, at least not directly. It stated "would become practical in 2-3 years", which I can only assume means they'd be the same price as today's cells.
It could just as easily mean "2 to 3 years before we can produce entire solar cells with this tech".

That aside, I'll never understand why pure alcohol has never been seriously pursued as a substitute for gasoline.
They tried. The engineers kept getting drunk on the job.
Mix that algae with vinger-producing algae, and then splice these into lettuce. You'll have a salad that dresses itself!
Oh no! Frankenlettuce!
Please do!
I've seen places where the speed limit is 75 or 80, and there are sections of Montana and Wyoming where the enforced limit is "drive safely".

Perhaps you should look into SecondLife.

I was demonstrating that the ANWR isn't much larger.
Is it really necessary to call people names?

Water Turbines flood areas.

The process applies to anything organic. Turkey guts, hog manure, BSE-infected cattle, sewage, leftover food, dead humans, etc.
ANWR is only good for nine months.

Can I have some of it?

I like .arpa
I actually saw one of those in my referrer logs once.
Whitehouse.com, whitehouse.net, and whitehouse.org say otherwise.
No more than they get first crack at similar TLDs in .net or .org.
This is why groups come up with schemas and ontologies to share.
The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
That someone would have to show proof that they invented it before he did.
Have you looked at what's getting patented these days?
"Meesa Darth Binks, dark Gungan a da Sith."
That last one's from Ep 3, I got a spoiler script.
And you know what? That's the funniest line from the films I've heard yet.
