The privately held company said a newly created division, called LiftPort Nanotech Inc., in June will begin operating a 3,000-square-foot plant in Millville, N.J., to produce carbon nanotubes.
3,000-square-foot? I have a front yard bigger than that..

D'oh.. surely I meant for the kernel drivers to be loaded as modules when needed. This of course is already the default for most kernel drivers, so basically I have no clue what you're talking about...
No, you miss my point. I'm talking about devices for which linux drivers already have been written (wlan-ng, Hostap, madwifi, etc.) but which aren't incorporated into the kernel.
Why are so many of the often used (and often needed) wireless drivers not included in the kernel?
Making wireless cards work in Linux is often a real hassle for the less knowledgeable folks. Wouldn't it be a good idea to smoothing things up a bit on that front. (I'd like to volunteer myself as soon as I have enough experience in this field - which will take a while..)
This is buzzword bullshit completely devoid of meaning
Which applies just as much to the parents post as to Sanswire's CEO.
Let's base our criticism on facts, shall we?
The Stratellites are unmanned airships and will be monitored from the Company's Operation Centers on the ground.
I wonder what bandwith the connection with ground control would have. For large scale ISP services less than many many Gb/s would be insufficient.
Anyone here able to estimate whether such would be a serious bottle neck or not?
(I guess they might have just lowered a cable if it wouldn't be accompanied by giant lightning rod like properties)

A typo? Or is this whole thing just a sad joke?
If you're going to RAISE your voice like that you should at least check your SPELLING.

Nevermind. I decided to read the article. Considering time zones, Japanese businesses probably were the ones with the earliest working hours.
Why a bug in Trend Micro's antivirus software would appear in Eastern Japanese LANs specifically?
Does it like sushi?
He does a good job at getting the press attention every year or so yet no real advances are made.
I haven't read much into it yet, but..
If what you say is true, then how come he won this year's Lemelson-MIT award? Does that make sense to you?
