   I buy equipment all the time that is not legal for sale in California. But I don't go out of my way to do such. With the emissions argument, lower emissions is generally accepted as a positive feature, though some may dislike the reduc

   And of course, criminals will certainly only purchase/steal device compliant with the law, because, you know, they want to obey the law. And they won't install any apps or use any other means to hide their illegal goods/commu

   I don't think most understand what (4) and (5) are, which is why you're seeing the responses you're seeing. Not being in that field, I had to re-read it a couple of times to understand what they meant. I think OpenSSL's

   I have never seen a cable, cell phone, or utility account reported on my credit, other than the initial credit check to open the account. But it seems everyone around me thinks paying a power bill late will affect their credit. Do companies

   I don't understand the risk of the window-size issue. If I am running a normal Windows installation(say, Windows 7 Home) on a commonly-sized screen (say, 1366x768) and have a normal sized taskbar, no odd widgets, toolbars, or other scr

   Aruba, Aerohive, and Ruckus all have great products. I haven't personally had the opportunity or necessity to use them but have always heard good things. We haven't deployed them mostly due to cost, but also because we have had gr

   You've brought up some great examples of successful standards. Each of them in their current implementation work well for the task they were designed to do. Many of them have not been without their failures. GSM had several long-standi

   IEEE has gotten a bunch of things wrong, but they have gotten a bunch of things right as well. How many other vendor-agnostic technologies are there that work as well as Wifi? For the most part my wifi-enabled device will work with any devi

   This is absolutely correct. I don't know the inner workings of the modulation scheme selection but suspect that the downshift is solely based on the ratio of received to unreceived acks from the client -- without knowing the reason for

    I work for an ISP and have done wifi for events with over 10,000 attendants. We have done this exclusively with Ubiquiti equipment. I have not used any of the high-end gear that claims to be designed for this (Aerohive/Ruckus/etc.

    agreed. I grew up sleeping 35ft from a busy highway with rumble strips. A 5000btu window unit air conditoner 3ft from my head drowned it all out. I sleep with a small fan running in the corner now and use a white noise app on my phone when

    I don't understand what analog has to do with it? The video is digitized first, then error-correction (parity?) information added before transmission, so all parity would be related to the digital bitstream -- unless I missed something

    Thanks for doing the math! Good to have a concrete number. They might be able to achieve parity with fiber on optical links between satellites -- basically the same technology that's used with fiber -- but of course atmospheric conditi

    I was mostly addressing the comment that the signal could bounce from satellite to satellite 'effectively faster than fiber.' datenwolf did the math and answered it in greater detail than I. Didn't Iridium try to do this a wh

    I believe Google is using anycast for their DNS servers. Basically, the device responding to his ping from Cambodia likely isn't very far away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast

    I don't think anything wireless(besides free space optics) will ever be able to match the bandwidth of fiber. There just isn't enough radio spectrum available. Using currently available COTS equipment you can easily push 100+gb&#x
