The US FCC requires manufacturers to test the RF Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) on tissue. The FCC specifies a maximum SAR of 1.6 W/kg of tissue. All of the filings are available for public consumption at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/
Enter the FCC ID number from your cell phone (mine was under the battery) in the form, with the first 3 characters in the left dialog and the rest in the right.
This links to a list of filings for this device. Check the "Display Exhibits" and you'll see the SAR report for the device. For example, for the phone I have, the Kyocera 2255, this is the report filed for body-worn SAR:
The data included has the power output and SAR at all of the different transmission modes for the device. Also, check out the neat-o plots.
Interesting that they have different permeabilities for muscle fluid and brain fluid, resulting in much higher maximum SAR for holding the phone to the ear (1.47 W/kg) than when its on the body (0.562 W/kg).
That web page linked to has a demo of their security flaw. It appears to be targeted at Windows users, trying to read from c:\.. but if you try to read this file under the Linux build, it crashes Mozilla.
Unfortunately, this would ruin any hopes of a compromise. ie.: Ok, we'll accept your ban on automatic weapons that fire more than x rounds per second, but only if we increase military spending by $y.
Forcing the two bills apart causes two votes, with no gurantee of having everyone vote the same twice. Joe Democrat votes YEA on the weapons ban, but NAY on the spending, even though he agreed to vote YEA on both. The bill that is voted on last gets the shaft.
I used to agree with you, but without major changes in the way congress works, it would never be workable. Nothing would ever pass congress.
wouldn't it be good to wait until we hear the school's side of the story?

No one is proposing lofting any orbiting nukes, and even if they did, so what? What can an orbiting nuke hit that an ICBM or nuclear-tipped cruise missle can't already hit with impunity?
Its not what they can hit so much as *how soon*. An ICBM takes 30+ minutes to reach its target. Launching a nuke from an orbiting satellite could cut the time from launch (read: detection) to detonation in half.
As for cruise missles, I think they would be subject to easier detection, since they are launched from ships or submarines which would have to get through sonar nets to be within range (I think).
A couple of these, well placed, could prevent the chain of command from authorizing a response attack. This weapon's advantage would be in a first-strike use only.
Neat info about the mafia. May I inquire where you obtained it? I'm of Italian descent and some of my distant relatives of years gone by have been involved in such activities. I don't know any specifics though, so I was hoping you could help me out.

Maybe this is why the RH execs have stopped selling stock? They know something is in the works, or they knew that there was a planned leak for the AOL-TW buyout? Curious stuff.
It looks like some of the RH higher-ups are dumping some stock in preparation for this buyout. Check out the restricted shareholder report at Yahoo! They've been dumping a couple million dollars worth of stock. I wonder how long ago they knew about this.

2001-08-11 13:18:46 Warhol Worm proposed: 15 minutes to total infection! (articles,bug) (rejected)
Since/. rejected this story, I posted it to the K5 Queue (only visible if you have a K5 acocunt).
Here's the scoop (more meat at K5):
According to an
article
in the latest issue of the RISKS
digest, Nicholas Weaver of UC
Berkeley has written a description of a
new type of worm, the Warhol
Worm. He believes that using a
divide-and-conquer method, all
vulnerable machines over the entire IPv4
addressspace could be compromised in
only 15 minutes!
`In the future, everybody will have
15 minutes of fame' -Andy Warhol
There appears to be two modes to these modems: peer-peer or broadcast. Apparently Metricom calls their broadcast mode "starmode." These drivers allow you to basicly setup a wireless subnet. Very cool.
Can someone comment on the security of these modems? I might have to get myself a couple.
I wonder if Linus, Alan and the whole linux-kernel crew would consider dedicating this version of the kernel to Dmitri Sklyarov. It would be a great way of bringing attention to a subject that we know hits home at least to Alan Cox.
Argh.

Does this remind anyone else of Assimov's "Psycho-History" of the Foundation series? Freaky.
Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Computed as follows:
0 + 1,000,000 = 1E6
1 + 999,999 = 1E6
2 + 999,998 = 1E6
...
499,998 + 500,002 = 1E6
499,999 + 500,001 = 1E6
and 500,000 left over.
so, we have 500,000 pairs equaling 1E6, giving 5E5 * 1E6 = 5E11. Add 5E5 left over, and you get your answer of 5.000005E11 = 500000500000.
Confirmed with the following bc program:
total=0;
for(i=0;i<=1000000;i++)
total+=i;

SinceHere's the scoop (more meat at K5):
This story was on /.'s front page, and now is gone. There are two comments from more than an hour ago, and no more. Whats going on?
Its called STRIP - STarmode Radio IP, and there are Linux drivers. Check out the info at:
http://ns.uoregon.edu/~jremy/strip.html
There appears to be two modes to these modems: peer-peer or broadcast. Apparently Metricom calls their broadcast mode "starmode." These drivers allow you to basicly setup a wireless subnet. Very cool.
Can someone comment on the security of these modems? I might have to get myself a couple.
Motorola, TI and Intel will use Palm's software developer kit to build processors using ARM technology, sources say.
Man, thats some SDK. Why don't my SDKs do that?
I wonder if Linus, Alan and the whole linux-kernel crew would consider dedicating this version of the kernel to Dmitri Sklyarov. It would be a great way of bringing attention to a subject that we know hits home at least to Alan Cox.
