I've give you $200 to install it and exactly $0/month to add it to the existing 'bucket' of 3G/4G I'm already way overcharged for. Oh, and I'll never drive one of your products. (My Subaru will soon be getting a Wilson 4G LTE setup w/external antenna)
Well, it was Raw until YouTube re-compressed the hell out of it. Seriously, I don't think you have any shot if you start off with this YouTube footage. If they really want help we need the actual raw bitstream. I/Q output from the receiver would be even better. Even better than that would be diversity receivers. Aren't those guys the rocket scientists?
If Reed Hastings knows these stats why don't we? Let's petition Netflix for an hour/month (or something) stat on your account. Expose it as an API call. Interesting value proposition to people, "look how many more hours you watch Netflix than Cable!". Also easy to automate finding those needing to be surgically removed from couches. (Ok, kidding about the last bit, but not anything else)
They do, but those codes are limited to the targets within them. A Sub Captain could launch at will against prescribed targets with the right codes (Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang, etc....) but could not turn those same missiles onto targets such as D.C. It's just not how the system is set up.
Funny thing, it started out as the Prescribed Action Link, but the grunts didn't like that, so they were permitted instead:) Can control yield and disable weapons, as well as authorize only specific targets in the case of an ICBM. So that new show 'Last Resort' where the rogue sub captain fires a nuclear warning shot into the Atlantic off the coast of DC. Yeah, that could never happen....

I’m going to go out and say it. I’m tired of Facebook acquiring startups I like. While I haven’t been a huge Instagram user, I use it a few times a week and appreciate the simplicity, design, functionality and community of the application. Unlike some I know the Android App launch didn’t bother me, the more platforms the merrier-I’m certainly no iOS snob. In fact, instagram is one of the few things that kept me from switching to Android (iTunes, Genius and iMessage among them).
It’s just a hunch, but I think that the feel of Instagram will degrade with Facebook. The simple sharing options will become encumbered by the confusing and needlessly complicated sharing and privacy options Facebook offers. Going from an app that does only one thing well to getting sucked up into the Facebook ecosystem won’t turn out well. Those that choseInstagram expressly because they don’t like Facebook will leave. Yet I still have to say congrats to the guys at Instagram, $1 Billion for a couple years work and only 8 employees at last count is phenomenal.
Maybe I like my separation, but I am no fan of the new Social Sharing/Reader feature, and you won’t find my Netflix, Hulu, Spotify or 4 Square accounts connected to Facebook. I keep it as a necessary evil, for those old friends I occasionally want to keep in touch with. For me the Google+ sharing model is worlds better, but G+ has no hope of success without a community behind it, and I still see no reason to visit it regularly.
Instagram won’t keel over in 6 or even 12 months, but I think those that truly appreciated it, the early adopters and the hardcore ‘iPhone Photographers’ will eventually leave indisgust. I could be wrong.
So at this moment I've scanned through all of the comments and haven't seen anyone who actually works with a sizable Oracle deployment make any sort of informative comment. So, Oracle DBA's, is this silly InfoWorld fear mongering or something you and your organization (or a larger org) should actually be seriously concerned about? To me it seems like under the right conditions this could bring an entire org's OracleDB structure down, but then again, I've never actually worked with it in production....
Why not go Google Apps? The enterprise version is free for Education and non-profits and has almost all of the features Exchange does (and likely all the features needed by Education). Easy to support and for the most part, hands off. Huge mailboxes, decent sites and docs and a UI that many find better than Outlook.
Disclaimer- I don't work for Google, but I do work for a media company where we rolled out a 5,000 seat Google Apps estate.
In addition to the military, I could see this technology having possible uses in space. If it can perform to standards in the radiation of space this could be interesting. At 500c these chips could also reduce the need for thermal management systems in un-manned spacecraft. That is IF these are producible, IF chips made from these can compete with existing options, and IF they get through that whole 2 billion deal......

That'll be great for battery life! And privacy. Honestly I don't even know where to begin with you....
It was all downhill at Linksys after the WRT54GL, IMO.
But.....but....the "Mission Accomplished" banner stopped the war....right?

If I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected and learn what I've been overlooking.
One of the best things I've heard in a while on /. If only every commenter had this attitude!

What do you think?
What's to stop me from loading this up on a spare machine I never use (and has no personal data) and letting it 'run' for a year?

Anyone who takes security very, very seriously because they have to will talk to you about the Air-Gap. It's a beautiful thing.
What about the problems of translating touch gestures to the "old-fashioned" mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts? For VNC, RDP, etc?
Oops. Turned the WEP off and set this as the SSID on my MiFi. Maybe this explains the overages!
