    None of the benefits you mention really requires satellites as part of the system.

    Wouldn't the skin of the ISS function as a Faraday Cage and severely limit transmission of the Wi-Fi signal?

    EVERYTHING you do that involves google has a spy element to it. ie, logging. ie, things that can be used in court against you, if it so suits google.

    Easy. Simply require registrants to input the RealID number from the barcode tattoo on their arm.

  17. Re:Efficiency Concerns on Future Desks to Charge Gadgets Wirelessly · · Score: 1

    Certainly no more wasteful than the "wall warts" we use now; after all, many of them are using induction internally anyway. Conceptually, inductive charging technology just splits the transformer into two halves: one in the "charger" and one in the device itself.

    Dunno where the poster lives, but check eBay real estate for schools/churches in Kansas, specifically...
    There's a 26,000+ s.f. school for sale with a buy-it-now price of $65,000... Sure, it's plenty more than $25K, but it's an example of the deals to be had in locations where population density isn't terribly high. Combine that with properties auctioned under foreclosure and you're down in the target range.

    Speaking of which, why don't folks just switch over to candy or hybrid NO2/acrylic or rubber motors to avoid the background/storage requirements?

    I'm sure there are reasons; being that you've been involved in the hobby for so long, I'm hoping you can offer some insight...

  21. Re:Mplayer on Could I Run a TV Station on Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    As far as frame-accuracy goes, that should be taken care of by a hardware MPEG decoder with an external TBC, no?

    Your playback systems would basically need to pretend they are VTRs, and the master program controller would have a PCI (AES/EBU/SMPTE?) timecode card. The cue timing would still rely on an input from the station's master clock. You'd most likely want to have proper "bars & black" preroll on all of your program MPEGs for calibration, testing the MPEG stream, etc. This way, you've still got a ~30 sec window to flip over to the "we're experiencing technical difficulties" screen as you mentioned should something get f'd up...

    Sounds like a fun project.

  23. Re:Just out of curiosity... on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    If the motivation were simply that they don't want their work to responsible for the death of a human being, it seems they would've adopted a license that indicates the software is not guaranteed to fail in a safe manner thereby obviating its use for medical, military, avionics, etc...
