  1. Survey method - old nokia on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    For survey purposes i would suggest finding an old nokia (3310 or similar) or some other phone that can have monitor mode enabled (or service menu). It is best if you would be able to slurp the data out of the phone via a cable but spot checks every 5-10 m would be OK (repeat at a minimum of 3 times).

    Probably there is a better way but this is the cheapest and fastest way. For more ideas i'd suggest contacting OpenBTS/OpenBSC (as projects for ideas) or Harawd Welte / Dieter Spaar (as persons).

    I would not suggest using 4G though (it seems a little bit too spotty and ureliable) if you can get your hands on some MiFi devices it would be better.

    Next best option (or even better) would be WiMax (though it depends on availability).

  2. Released ... come on this is old on Free Software Activists Take On Google Search · · Score: 1

    Come on guys YaCy has been around since ages. I remember playing with it in something like 2004-2005. This hardly classifies as something new. Yes it is distributed and yes it is easily influenced. Very easily. Not to mention the java crap it was (at least at the time i played with it).

    I really wanna see them trying on this.

    As a minimum it will be completely hilarios

  5. So fuckin' what on Palm Pre Does Not Get US Tethering Either · · Score: 1

    First of all i am not a layer
    Second i work in exactly the telecom env
    third i am not in the us but in Europe

    so taking all that in mind i still got a suckin idiotik phone that is used only as a phone (it does it's job as a phone) as are most of the people in the telco business (excluding managers). In my personal opinion the moment you can use your phone as a regular Modem you are basically unstoppable. And you know using a modem to connect is nothing new revolutionizing or whatever.

    Some people said you are going to draw more bw ... then why they are seling unlimited. If it is unlimited it means UNLIMITED. It does not mater that you are one of the measly 0.5% that uses more than 2 TB a month because you know how and can make good use of it.

    Also take in mind the following: As much as i despise the Iphone and similiar stuff for claiming being a phone they really are marketed as a multimedia computing platform ... so phone features are just a bonus not main driver (if you don't know/care/dare to use the other features ... well you need simpler "stick that can talk". Any Goddamn forsaken stupid app that can leach at tremendous rates even being deployed on a "phone" is not a wise move and they've called it upon themselvs so they've got to live with it

    Everybody oversells, telcos oversell enormously and of course win enourmously.

    End point of the topis is "If i can get to the modem i can and i will use it and nobody can prove otherwise"

    PS: excuse my typing mistakes ... it's a bit late and i am up for about 60 hours already ...

    Wonder on what the numb3rs tv series is based. If i am not wrong the first 2 series did exactly that. Finding the pattern is not allways so hard. You just have to atribute everything to the right killer (freak, nerd).

    At least to my knowing this kind of violations is prety common. One simple example ... utorrent. At least i think it uses almost directly libtorrent (cannot guarantee on that).
    On the other side i cannot offer any proof that can be considered serious on my thinking

  14. It's a funny world on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 0, Troll

    Isn't this a funny world :)

    First they are crying for lax security and hackability, so here comes paper trail (which damn ***** right). And guess what they ***** record who, when and how voted. Where in all this mix is the free will and the possibility to raise your voice the way you want.

    Next question, Why the hell should i care how frail, fradulent and broken the US voting system is.

  17. State your mission man ... on IP Addressing Space Management Applications? · · Score: 4, Informative

    1) Do you need just bookkeeping stuff? - spreadsheet or some homemade app will do it!
    2) DHCP/DNS integration management? - Sauron project is my favourite at the moment
    3) Something more speciffic ... then go either for something comercial or your developers.

  18. Re:another good community minded move on Google Opens U.K. Cybercafe and Testing Lab · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You have a valid point, but this will give google much more valuable information about the way their services are used. For example it could determine that 75% of the people preffer personalised home and 98% of that are using page history as a sort of a bookmarking tool. So after that is noted google video will lose couple of servers which will be transfered for the sake of personalised home and page history.

    they are just profiling the usage of their systems, and of course gaining some image :)

    Very interesting. Apart from the impact that this have concerning human mind and perception that is indeed a beautifull invention. I am very interested what algorhytms they have used for voice detection.
