In many places, there are only two broadband providers available: the cable company and the CLEC. If they both happen to be unreliable and overpriced (Cox Cable and Sprint, for instance) a third provider would be a welcome broadband overlord.
1) Fixed 2) I would switch to a google-based ISP in a heartbeat.
(coughs) iirc verizon is one of those bastard fuck-their-customers companies, in my experience. You could probably get the same service and price from cingular, too. Possibly better quality since newer cingular phones support Edge GSM.
I was under the impression that the record reflected everything on the 802.11x band, not any wireless transmission. In this case, technically NASA would win by sending wireless info from sattelites.:/ Maybe I'm just not RingTFA correctly.
Depends on what you want to hide and who you want to hide it from... If you waive privacy rights when you bring your computer into a technician, then anything's fair game, from reporting that child porn in the folder marked "college essays" to giving your email address to spammers to doing a search on your hard drive for anything that looks like a credit card or social security number, username and password, the possibilities are endless.
Where did he find the child pornography? In a spam email sent to the defendant that was sitting in his trashcan? In his temporary files directory? In his kazaa shared folder which he doesn't even know he has because his 17-year-old son is a porno addict? In his pictures directory containing pictures of his daughter in the bathtub? There are so many scenarios to consider here that you can't just cry "pedophile" when you find something like that on someone's hard drive. I mean, I hate letting pedos walk free just as much as every other concerned citizen, but not at the expense of my privacy, and possibly my clean legal status if we're going to witch hunt about it. It's no secret that even an accusation of a sexual crime can possibly ruin someone for life, and it's definitely not to be taken lightly. This is where we need to strictly interpret one's right to privacy and use common sense before "exposing pedophiles".
Theoretically, if it's going to be as cheap as the other threads state, couldn't you make geeks piss their pants by just layering multiple projectors to actually create the illusion of depth?

I beg to differ[maps.google.com, btw]
Glanced over the article, sounds like this new startup is basically trying to sell their product.
Indeed, and it sounds like slashdot editors aren't doing their job.
Guess who's setting ScuttleMonkey to foe and setting a -5 penalty...
ScuttleMonkey (55) is all alone in the world. I wonder why.
Hoaxing a world record in wireless transfer to get free publicity on slashdot?
Brilliant!
He's only being a spamming whore as much as scuttlemonkey. Do your fucking job, slashdot editors. Give us news, not advertisements.
Note that Defcon has records for unamplified long distance links on the 802.11x band.
Apparently this seems to be the general first post consensus: This isn't news, this is a fucking publicity stunt.

Complete fucking luddite. When do I start?
I can write that shorter.
($_) = ("krJhruaesrltre c a cnp,ohet" =~ ms/^((\w+).+)$/\1\2/g); foreach s/(..)(.)// {print $+;}
You've never heard of slashcode? :) .pl at the end of every slashdot module?
ever notice the little

Look, I'm violating patents!
I was going to mod you down, but then I thought:
What if it was my karma?

Then again, the parent might have a point, without actually stating it.
Without a privacy policy, your technician is under no obligation to either report or withhold the contents of your hard drive.

I'm wondering if this isn't better linked to 4chan, where people should actually be WORRIED about being caught with child porn.
You just can't help but picture your local security guard going into the camera room with a beer and a bag of popcorn.
*fap* oh shit she's stealing something!
* Consumer, e.g.: Pr0n.
Fixed.

I use Gentoo. It's easy to think "bleeding edge" means "you'd rather cut yourself than compile the motherfucking kernel again"
me: "Oh hey, is it just a spiral or what?" ...
me: "Oh fuck you."
Didn't quote look close enough, did you?
This of course relies heavily on pricing (TBD) and other more, um, personal matters.
There ought to be a (+1) Mirror provider point. :D
It's like community service for slashdot for people with low karma.
I understand
...
1) create universe
2) define physics
3) let incoherent slashdotters comment their beliefs
4)
But where's the profit?
