Dan's implementation is fascinating, but I'm unsure if it qualifies as "truly novel" since I _think_ I've seen something like this before. I wish I could remember where, and a few quick searches have turned up no

After reading the mu link you posted, I was going to ask you to submit it as a "Show HN" post... but it seems I'm about a month too late: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11092067 It's great reading.

I left out plenty of details, so sorry if the transition wasn't clear and seamless. VerizonWireless, whether via a "smart" phone or a dongle (i.e. 3G EVDO or 4G LTE via USB usually, or PCMCIA historically) operates as a plain

Though I doubt more flexible regulations and your stated "opportunity to operate slightly outside the existing rules" will work, what about an alternate path to achieve the same basic goal? Do you think something like an improved

If you want feedback on your new thing, you really need to do a proper "Show HN:" submission with a link to your new thing. This way it doesn't get penalized in the rankings as being a "text" submission, and it gets

I think this is a great idea, and it looks like a lot of fun, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Though I'm sure tested this on "Linux" and "MacOS X" as you said, the real problem you face is most termi
