    I walk past the group everyday, just today about noon in fact. They are camped right in front of the federal reserve building on main and market. They mostly try to bum cigarettes and money, and leave trash everywhere. Some protest.

    but the cap is 40gigs [20gb on-peak and 20gb off-peak]? at those speeds you could use up your whole allotment in like 2 days, and I hate to see what the overages costs.

    That's the starting cap, iinet and internode have plans that go up to 1 TB limits.

    Also, no overage charges, they shape your speed down to 128 or 256 Kb/s if you go over./quote>

    1 why cap at all?
    2 shaping to 256kbit? you realize we got FREE HSPA+/LTE 256kbit internet in Europe (Poland)?

  11. Re:Good value! on Australia's National Broadband Network Officially Open For Business · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The basic plan isn't very compelling, but for $65/month you get 200GB (100/100) and 25mbit/5mbit. That's definitely better than ADSL, for only $15 more.

    Meanwhile in Europe im getting 25mbit/5mbit for $15, no caps.

    There was SF novel about a hacker whose job was to help people cheat exams so they could get a job. Paradoxically said hacker had to pay another 'stupid' hacker so he would pass annual IQ tests with average scores and stay unemployed/free. People that tested above certain level were expected/forced to work.

  21. Re:Pretty reasonable really on Security Researchers Crack APCO P25 Encryption · · Score: 1

    Slapping an fpga and highspeed ADC onto a custom PCB is easy enough, you can get such things from knjn prebuilt, but you really need gigabit ethernet or faster to do software processing on significant bandwidth and those sorts of interfaces tend to need five and six layer PCBs which aren't DIY and jack up the price. Perhaps the USB3 interfaces will be more hobby friendly. You still need a software controlled wideband receiver too, maybe heathkit will step up on that one.

    All in all, the USRP is reasonable, though its been getting more expensive due to more features, and NI buying them might be involved too, NI doesn't tend to make cheap stuff.

    Cypress already announced EZ-USB 3, if its anything like FX2LP implementing solutions will be a breeze
