In fact, if you're a licensed ham radio operator operating your 802.11b equipment within the necessary FCC regulations (broadcasting callsign, etc.), it could be argued that you have the right to primary usage and other 802.11b operators will have to change channels or discontinue use of their equipment if they provide interference to you.
Using your 802.11 equipment under an amateur radio license would also require that you not use encryption, or any means of obscuring the meaning of a message.
However, the idea of a 1500-watt access point does sound intriguing...
I think that at least one of the exact "rights" that are being referred to is the assumed right to anonymity online. What the Slashdot reader might be concerned about are the processes that the FBI used to track and gather evidence on the suspects. It is supposed to make you wonder how much of your online activity is being watched by the government.
A "system" is more than just the basic computer hardware. It is likely the software and ordering systems, which are computer-based, that this user was unfamiliar with.
I think it's a little funny that the article is an AP story, posted on the site of someone they will soon be charging for that privilege. It's almost like it was meant to be a private memorandum, but was then mistaken as an article.
Ethernet does define the physical layer, but does not tie it to one specific type of cable. Ethernet was originally defined using coaxial cable, which is much different than the twisted pair you must be used to. Your parent post was referring to the fact that there are different types of cable (coax, twisted pair, even fiber) that can be used when you need an "ethernet cable".
The twists are done to reduce the impedance in the transmission circuits. By having a pair of wires with different voltage potential very near to each other, you create a long, thin capacitor. This is where people get the term "crosstalk". By twisting the wires, you introduce more inductive reactance, which (ideally) cancels the capacitive reactance, and allows your data to transfer (near the resonant frequency of the circuit) with less attenuation.
Now, I am no Star Wars expert, but I do play one every once in a while. And I'm not really this nitpicky, but I thought it would be fun to point out.
Luke doesn't say "you're not my father" in Return of the Jedi, but in The Empire Strikes Back. By Return of the Jedi, he has accepted that he is his father.

I like how "crap" is a tag for this.
Maybe it was this movie -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312843/
Its US title is "Suicide Club", and has a lot of eerie similarities to this story.
STFU
Really. I'm sick of that joke.
This got me interested, thank you.
Helium-3 actually can, despite this intuition, assume a superfluid state. The atoms form cooper pairs at very low temperatures, effectively making them bosons.

Of course, the 31337 WoW cheaters write their own DRM software... Um, I mean, "rootkits"
It's funny how quickly words can become synonyms of another.
MIMO does not use multiple channels. Chill.
MIMO does provide a "speed boost". Using multiple antennas, the channel capacity is increased.

This trick, along with the 108Mbps networking that's already on store shelves, is an abuse of the standard and should be avoided for the common good.
This "trick" uses MIMO, which will be part of the 802.11n Standard.
That would be under Title 47, Chapter 1, Part 15, Section 15.5, Subsection B of the US Federal Code.

Since when does "unpatched" mean lazy?
It implies lazy. Read the GP again.
I'm a C and VB programmer, and I picked up Brainfuck pretty quickly.
This is neither hacking, nor is it cracking. This is just filthy DoSsing.
They don't need to exploit a buffer overflow to execute their code if you execute it for them.
They would, if they needed to gain elevated privileges.

Actually, ethernet does define the physical layer, as well. That's where the terms 10Base2 and 10Base5 come from, if I'm not mistaken.
A terrible argument, this is.

.NET languages are just simpler to deal with, at the cost of needing a whole 'nother abstraction layer.
