True. T-Mobile doesn't serve those areas natively, but when I'm up there from Chicago (brothers used to go to military academy in Delafield, I fly into and out of the Janesville airport, etc) I roam without a problem (and by room, I mean piggyback on a network T-Mobile as a deal with. No extra charges involved).
Is this something that could be configured via UPnP? I know that when Azureus (sp?) runs on my local PC, it'll talk to my Linksys gateway and tell it which inbound ports to open via UPnP. Why not tell it to drop RST packets from Comcast IP blocks as well?
Now, what I really wish is that I could use the unencrypted network the phone connects to to run it's UMA/VPN tunnel to browse, etc. It's silly to connect to the web server I have running at home, connected to my wireless router, from my phone via t-mobile's VPN. Waste of their traffic load, to boot.
HUGE SECURITY HOLE. Which is probably why they only allow GSM-over-IP traffic over the encrypted tunnel. You don't want any sort of data being passed through your core, when you can just get by with the voice data.

In the book House of Bush, House of Saud, author Craig Unger states that Saudi Arabian interests have given $1.4 billion to firms connected to the Bush family. Nearly 85% of the $1.4 billion, or about $1.18 billion, refers to Saudi Arabian government contracts awarded to defense contractor BDM in the early to mid 1990s. Carlyle, however, sold its interest in BDM before former President George H. W. Bush joined as an advisor. Although, it should be noted that Bush family confidant James A. Baker was on the board when the interests were sold.[citation needed].
The Saudi Arabian relatives of Osama bin Laden were also investors in Carlyle until October 2001 when the family sold its $2.02 million investment back to the firm in light of the public controversy surrounding bin Laden's family after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. The bin Laden family has publicly disowned the al-Qaeda leader.[5] Osama bin Laden has no publicly known or acknowledged economic interest in Saudi Binladin Group (SBG), whose investments were in part managed by the Carlyle Group until the arrangement was terminated by mutual consent.
The satellite was DOA on launch. It can't be communicated with, which is pretty much necessary to command it to fire it's thrusters. It's orbit decayed in under 15 months.
I've got business class service from Comcast for $160/month. 4 nine's uptime SLA, 20Mb/s down, 3Mb/s up. Chicago area near O'hare, in an industrial park. Also, they said I could bond two connections together if I want.

I too would like to live much longer then the typical human lifespan (although I think 100 years on this rock may prove boring). I'm currently 25, and I think with the advances in biotechnology that will be occuring in the next decade (or two), we'll be much closer to this being possible (maybe not immortality, but living 1.5-2 times the current developed country life expectantcy).
Air travel accounts of less then 10% of oil use in the transportation sector. Most oil is used for cars and trucks. Displacing that oil use is a huge step. I have a lot of faith in commercial ventures exploring other options (i.e. Virgin Fuels).
I have to haul hundreds of pounds of datacenter equipment around a couple times a month. I need to use an SUV to do this (the other times I need to drive somewhere, I use a fuel-efficient car). I offset my carbon emissions from my Jeep (the SUV used to do the hauling) with Terrapass. Also, in the summer, I use only a motorcycle for transportation (30-40 mpg). Eventually, I will use biofuels for these vehicles when they're available and efficiently produced (net energy gain FTW). Also, I'll use my Tesla Roadster as much as possible once it arrives, as my power is generated by ComEd with a nuclear reactor (low carbon).
My whole point of this diatribe is that I can only do so much to reduce my carbon footprint. And I'll keep going out of my way until I can get as close to carbon neutral as possible. Just because you drive an SUV doesn't mean you're not trying your damnedest to not be part of the problem.
The nuclear power industry never pays this cost, either. The decommissioned reactors get spun off into separate corporations with only the shut-down reactor in the portfolio of assets, leaving the US Gov't to pay the multi-billion dollar price tag every single shut down nuclear reactor costs to decommission.
Let's assume it costs $15 billion to decommission a reactor. At the current Iraq war burn rate ($275 million/day), we could decommission a reactor every 45 days. As long as you build your build/decommission cost into the per/KwH rate of electricity, what's the problem?
Oh, I completely agree with you. It will *never* scale up. There just isn't enough waste cooking oil to fulfill the kind of demand for energy the transportation sector demands. I was just putting forth an anecdote.
Agreed. I use waste cooking oil (processed into biodiesel) in a garage heater (that will burn kerosene, diesel, etc) as well as in a fairly large diesel generator. I would never want to use biodiesel made from farmland, but waste cooking oil is a different story.
Agreed. You're going to want to keep the optics as cold as possible. But I would think you'd want to keep the batteries, satellite communications, equipment, and other support systems warm.

Your problem isn't digital then. The problem is you need more carriers in the area with taller towers and bigger cells to cover more area.

A cellphone can put out quite a bit more power then a bluetooth device.
That's fantastic =)

I had to pay $5/month extra for 1 static IP, and $10/month if I wanted 5 static IPs. We went with just one, as I'm doing a slew of IPSEC tunnels.

Your interface could use some cleanup. A lot of it feels disconnected. A cross between Facebook and LinkedIn would work well I think.

Perhaps someone should modify the camera to sign each key with your PGP private key stored on microSD. A little more fool-proof.

Google uses SATA drives in all their commodity boxes. Seems like it works for their high-performance needs just fine.
