  1. Re:I didn't know Feinstein was a Republican.... on Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 0

    What amendment changed...

    The words

    government of the people, by the people, for the people

    are not found in the US Constitution, but are found in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and no Amendment to the Constitution is going to change the Gettysburg Address. However, an Amendment to add

    government of the politicians, by the politicians, for the corporations

    to the Constitution would not be too surprising considering the cozy relationship corporate America has with those we elect to representatives us.

  2. Possibly Circumvent Speed Detection Equipment on Newly Declassified Window Film Keeps Out Snoops · · Score: 0

    Based on the article's statement that "it can keep signals in ... or out" I am going to assuming that the film is actually two layers. As a single layer could only filter signals on one side or in one direction, think window tint, and allowing signals to pass though the opposite. Two layers placed with either filtering or non-filtering sides touching would produce the desired effect of filtering in both direction. Most police speed detection equipment operates around the frequencies 17 - 27 GHz or with an infrared laser, ladar. If the film filters 2.4 GHz and "near-infrared" its probably broad enough to catch most of the spectrum used by police radar and ladar. I wonder if coating a car (not just the windows) with a single layer of film with the non-filtering side facing out would reduce the return signal from radar and ladar enough to prevent the equipment from working. Placing the non-filtering face out would allow the signal to pass though to the paint and body but would prevent the return signal from it bouncing of the paint or body underneath. Think one way mirror (except not on the mirror side) pointing a laser though the glass.

  3. New Kernel on Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager · · Score: 0

    Why doesn't Microsoft scrap the current Windows kernel and write a completely new one instead of trying to add on to an existing kernel? I know they do this for backward compatibility, but they have the source for all of their operating systems so they could write extremely efficient/fast emulators that would run on their new kernel (presumably a faster, more securer, and stable kernel). Microsoft would also want to keep a similar interface, which could be easily done with a new kernel.
