   is there a plane that flies at infinite altitude? Is there an aircraft of concern to the FAA that flies above FL1000? One or two historic flights have been that high, so raise the ceiling to 150,000' still not infinite.

   I live in Austin. I have Grande and AT&T fiber to my house. I have service from Grande. AT&T won't sell me their 300Mbps service. When Google comes, Grande is dropped like a hot rock.

    I live in Austin, TX. I have Grande and AT&T fiber to my home. AT&T will not sell me their (current 300Mbps, future 1Gbps) service. Grande will. When Google Fiber arrives in my neighborhood, I'll probably keep both Grande and G

    OpenBSD has several side-channel attacks possible against it's poorly-written AES-GCM implementation. Doesn't even require a VM. They're in the middle of fscking up OpenSSL as we write.

    I see this as a cautionary tale about the limits of cloud-storage of anything. If you really care and you're facing an adversary with subpoena power over your ISP, the only solution is to ensure the ISP simply never sees the plaintext.

    Just the Apple Air, I'd bet. Don't forget that Apple has spent years getting everyone on Xcode, and disciplining them to avoid the parts that would make a recompile & test straight-forward. They also have a "good enough&q

    now let's see if that license can be used on a mythical "router" that apple builds. I'll bet that license has a ton of restrictions.

    3m? You might try a bit more distance. The free space path loss at 1m is only 41dB. If your signal leaves the device at only 10dBm, it arrives at the other device at -31dBm, (let's say antenna gain and loss in the coax cancel), which
