    If this sticks, it will be awesome, not for the security but for the statement it makes. Way to go, Brazil!

    without beamforming - inverse square law says no
    with beamforming, one must remember that beamforming cannot focus in just one place, smaller but still constructive maxima will exist elsewhere. what wants 1/3 of a watt focused on their gonads accidentally?

  6. Re:So it's basically a GBA-era ARM chip without th on Rise of the ARM Clones · · Score: 1

    This. It will hurt. A lot. This means that 64x64 -> 64 multiply (what gcc will do if you multiply two uint64_t values) will now need 10 multiplies, at least 20 shifts (16 to cut off tops 16 bits of intermediates, 5 for result alignment), and 9 additions, instead of just 2 long multiplies and one long multiply accumulate. Ouch...

    Playing WAV is doable on 8-bit AVR or PIC The 2012 ADK (same cpu as due) I got ogg decoding to work in realtime, and bt's audio codec too (SBC). That sort of things does need more CPU power than the AVRs have

  11. Re:Meh on Apple Announces iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Show me an android Phone whose camera produces images that are even close to the iPhone4S camera images. I've been looking high and low. In Galaxy Nexus I finally found *ALMOST* parity with my *OLD* iPhone4, but still not on par with battery life and camera. I'd *LOVE* to switch away from apple, if only the competitors would get their shit together and made a device that (1) could last over 2 days on battery, with 2-3 hours of web and 1 hour of talk a day; (2) Had a 5MP+ camera that did not suck (good low light perf, reasonable speed); (3) was *NOT* a phablet - i want a phone that fits in my pocket, not a mini-tablet; (4) had decent performance and fluid UI (this means jellybean or later OS only) Galaxy Nexus is close, others, not even...

  12. color on Florida Researchers Create Shortest Light Pulse Ever Recorded · · Score: 1

    How can they speculate about the color of the source (ultra-violet) when a single complete cycle of a wave of that color is 300-400nm long, and the pulse generated here was only 20 nm long?

  13. i hope never on Could Flying Cars Actually Be On Their Way? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As a pilot, I really really really hope this never happens! Most people are BARELY able to keep in control of their vehicles in 2D, and are entirely unsuited for 3D. Keep them away from the skies, so that those of us who passed the difficult tests and demonstrated our ability to handle an aircraft safely can continue to be safe and remain not in danger of idiots cutting us off, not following rules, etc...
