Whitfield Diffie (yes, of Diffie-Hellman), just posted to the IP list an email he pulled up from 1976(!) in response to a crappy article about VA Shiva Ayyadura "inventing" email. I'm sure he's got even older emails, but

Oops, I misspoke. Both Galileo and Beidou are GNSS, but both are incomplete, and are expected to be fully populated sometime 2020+. China has had a regional system up for sometime (Beidou-1), but I didn't know they've been plann

Multiple band GNSS chipsets have just recently become more common. The GLONASS constellation was inactive for quite some time due to economic issues in Russia, probably the reason it's seen slow adoption. Galileo is the only other GNSS

When will you all be posting more information about the hardware module? I'm curious about the specifics of the hardware, (basically datasheet stuff for those of us actually designing hardware): * supported voltages: 5V, 3v3, 1v8, ...?

It's hard to understand Shenzhen if you've not been there. I just returned from the Dangerous Prototypes Hackercamp in Shenzhen, and quite frankly, I don't think there is anyway you can fully comprehend what they can do there

Not that I thought being owned by Opera was a bad thing, but now they're completely employee owned again: http://blog.fastmail.fm/2013/09/25/exciting-news-fastmail-st... So I have high hopes that they&#x

Same here. I've been slowly migrating all my mail off Gmail as it's continually gotten slower and less reliable for me. Not to mention that FM actually does backups, has a great webclient with nice logical keyboard shortcuts, and

I have to agree with you rubynOObie. My former company was a big Rackspace customer, over 8? years, in their top tier dedicated environment (Intensive or somesuch they called it). I too really wanted to believe in their "Fanatical Support",

Just curious, what system did you choose and for what type of business? As I mentioned above, I set up my friend with BreadCrumb which is okay for quickserve, but not great. There QS workflow needs to be extensively overhauled, and they nee

I'm pretty sure Epson engineered these T88-TMs sometime in mid-80s and haven't changed them since. It seems that the only difference between the versions is the print speed due to upgraded processors, but nearly all the mechanicals are exac

I just helped a friend install a iPad POS at his coffee shop this past December using BreadCrumb. We looked at Square Register, but it's rather lackluster feature set ruled it out. Namely, it doesn't support multiple printers or printer que

I just went through this a couple of weeks ago, looking for a personal laptop to do some independent work on. I'm a huge Thinkpad fan, and both of my desktop keyboards are Thinkpad USB trackpoint-only keyboards, so that should tell you some
