I wouldn't be surprised if this is another thing to stomp all over the HF bands and raise the background noise level a lot. With this and BPL, you might as well say goodbye to 30 mhz.
I took Engineering school about 300 km south, and we were still allowed the HP 48 GX then. Experimentation showed that the reliable communication range was about six inches. If you were that close to your fellow student during an exam, you would already be under suspicion.
I previously had a TI-85 when I went through high school, ending back in 1995. It had the infamous decimal-> fraction conversion.
How about having a computer interpret the scene and use the 4x4 field to display direct codes to them? There are 16^2 possible codes with a 4x4 black/white pixel screen (assuming each pixel is either on or off).
Why do they not set up barriers so that vehicles must drive in an "S" path to pass the checkpoint. I think this idea has been around since at least WWII.

How many idiot mods got fooled by the "mod parent up!" signature line?
Well, the same mods who think that there is a November 31.
Now the guy can be charged for unauthorized access of a computer network, like that guy in Florida that /. mentioned last week.
She'll be too busy working in a software sweatshop "taking 'ur jobs" to worry about that.
They'd better eliminate the copyright levy on recordable media then, it doubles the price of a stack of 50 CD-r's..

Newton hunted counterfeiters and had them drawn and quartered. It looks like he should have hung himself.
Frankly, I'm not surprised.
He should call the business software association.
Are not most GPUs limited to 24 or 32 bit precision? The x86 processors can go to 80 bits.
...hydrogen bombs?
Let's use it to control the climate in those commie countries and block their sunlight every day.
The sheep must be running really fast on the treadmill right now to supply enough power for the server.
Just put a cell phone near a computer headset cord and watch what happens when a call comes in.

I seem to remember hearing this "5 year" story 5 years ago.
My Treo 600 has a noisy screen as well, it gets on my nerves...
I wonder how the cooling will be while the gallium is still solid in parts of the system that are still below 85 F, like right after you switch on...
Actually, I believe they also license out their name (as does GE, RCA, etc..) to asian companies who make VCR's, stereos, DVD players, etc.

So, there's no protection at all against signal problems if EV-DO runs on standard WiFi equipment. I wouldn't pay for that.
Also, first post.
Like this? I just replaced every " " with " ".

No, $22 per hour is what the company, TCS, charges Citibank per employee.
...and get a free, all expenses paid trip to sunny Cuba!
Internal combustion engines are around 30% efficient, 300% efficiency is impossible, you are talking about perpetual motion.
Don't forget about the transmission losses, either.
