I fail to understand the point to this. People have been building GSM base stations with $1,500 USRPs for years (not knocking the USRP, awesome piece of test equipment; it has been on my wish list for years now). So someone tacked a $35 Ras

The comic paints a picture from a very specific viewpoint, as if Huxley's were the rational, correct one and Orwell's came from a delusional fantasy land. Both men lived very different lives and they were responding to what they saw. Huxley

Honestly, at this point the lag is kind of the draw with Slashdot. Once a story has shown up elsewhere, you can go there 6 hours later or the next day and everyone has had time to mull over the story. Scroll down to the middle of the page p

As I understand they do, but even if you had it been deployed seconds after it touched down, the wait for returning images would have been a while. Packet radio from that distance is no joke. From Earth I'd rather have a few crappy thumbnai

At the end of the day that's why I'm perfectly happy with Greenpeace/etc doing their battling from the web. They get the ego rub they desperately desire and no fingers are brought close to dangerous machinery.

The bar you go to makes all the difference. You are more likely to see Quiz Night at a Mom & Pop sports bar, a place where loud noise is acceptable. The quiet, little pub you go to for ale/stout and quiet conversation or a folk/jazz bar

"So let’s just suppose that Alan Turing is just the same personally: he’s a mathematician, an early computer scientist, a metaphysician, a war hero — but he’s German." When the name von Braun is said, slave labor may come in mind for some,

It is the Rolling Stone National Affairs Desk, essentially Taibi fills the Gonzo void. Someone has to do it to sell those cologne scented pages.

The Solove/Bartow thing has been bouncing around for a few years now. One of Bartow's responses: http://madisonian.net/2011/05/26/of-debunking-and-willful-di... She seems to be more annoyed with the idea that Solove's writings read like

In that case Mickey Mouse is already protected as a trademark. The real question isn't if Mickey is protected, but if Steamboat Willie is protected from now until the end of time.

I'll be happy to put on my tinfoil hat and tell you what I think is really going on. The USPS does a lot more than ship packages and letters. They are also the government's mass printer. That VA letter and social security check probably was

As Louis XIV said, never sign a treaty you don't intend to break and until the technological playground settles into a few large, relatively static players there is always room for a more lucrative treaty.

Plenty, a government is granted a monopoly on violence in order to block other players from getting into (or at least flexing their muscles in) the violence game.

For Ford, I'd imagine it is the same reason Fender is on that list. Somebody owns a lot of stock elsewhere (Fender was owned by CBS until they bought themselves out from under, but I'd imagine a significant number of shareholders still hold

I started work on a "somewhat" similar project* around the beginning of the year. This was for the state level, not the federal level. There were quite a number of issues. The most annoying being that the state archives only went back so fa

Just a bit of advice from back when I was sending letters over the DMCA. If your congressman is supporting the bill, don't bother. My Senator at the time was Fritz Hollings; came from a poor district, so he was dependent on a lot of outside

I wouldn't even say it is geared towards the CS student/CS grad, more like general nerd reading. If I knew a kid who was "interested in computers", but there was no one around to give them a helping hand I'd definitely give them a copy of C

The NYT is good at a lot of things, but I'm not sure if I'd put space reporting on that list. This is the same fine institution that assumed that Robert Goddard didn't understand the first thing about basic physics. Most of those ideas are

I have a feeling that there is a bit more to it than that. In America it is fairly common for employers tack on a little more vacation time every year for both salary and hourly employees. It isn't too terribly odd to have 1 to 1.5 months o
