Something happened to me the other day, I started drafting a text using the regular text messaging app on my android phone, I was sending it to a friend, but I got distracted by a call and never sent the text. Later I went to finish it and

The first time I saw laced cable, I am not ashamed, much, to say was in 1978, when I had just finished my masters in EE and had just landed a job at Bell Labs. One of my first assignments was to develop a procedure to convert an old teletyp

I wrote a novel, I know, every asshole has. About this. My theory, that is, either ridiculous or correct, the Silurians are the ancestors of the dolphin. The dolphin, or OK, the Orca, have a larger cerebral cortex than humans. What if, they

When I first started reading this article, I'll admit, the first thought, as a life-long Seattlite, that crossed my mind was, here we go again, some dumbass writes about what it is like to live in Seattle. Goddamit. But when I saw the

I suspect Hanlon's razor is operational here. China uses those things off in international waters all the time, the fact that this one almost perfectly followed the jet stream seems to indicate it may have had a malfunction of its prop

True, although, evidence of offensive transmitters is difficult to completely destroy, heavy heat sinks and so forth. Simply erasing memory does not obliterate such clues.

True, although from up there you can collect a lot more than on the ground of course. The US does the same thing over international waters off China. The other concern would be if it has jamming capabilities, you can jam an earth station pr

The trick is to shoot it down in a way it falls slowly so you can retrieve it and see what is in it, although, I suspect our intelligence agencies have a pretty good idea already. I have no idea of course, but one thing I thought would be a

Main difference, a balloon can carry a payload that is capable of jamming rather than just surveilling radio signals. Something not being talked about.

The point is, Ma Bell, the original AT&T, was a long distance company. That was their cash cow. That was their mind set. So the basically gave cellular away. Same thing as Kodak, they saw themselves as a chemical company not a photograp

Yeah, pretty much none of that is what mattered really. Making a phone small enough to fit in a pocket or purse meant all digital even for voice. that came with 3G but the brick showed the way.

Just getting back here. There were a number of things that made the hand-held possible and yes, not related to the network really except that, the cellular approach meant that you needed a microprocessor in the phone to handle the channel h

One of the first projects I worked on at Bell Labs back in the day, was a replacement for IMTS called HCMTS, High Capacity Mobile Telephone Service, later renamed AMPS, the original analog cellular technology. I was 2 years old at the time

Very cool work, good luck, hope you land a good job. I put in "Women Jazz Singers" Not bad, a bit heavy on Nina Simone and had Marvin Gaye, who was great but a dude. Nit picking really. Nice work :)

Ya, it would be like getting 538 people together and putting them in charge of passing laws we all have to obey. So ignorant!

How is aerial photography essential when a drone can do the same thing? Sure, carbon tax, how does the tax reduce carbon emissions? If all the resourced individuals you mention just pay it? That only works if it is a disincentive. If they a

Yes, less pilots. good. Less flights. Less carbon. all good. BTW, most light aircraft flights are hobby not training.

by zw123456 4y ago
Agreed. It's funny I would tell people that light aircraft are still allowed to burn leaded fuel and they are shocked. The other thing that is also ridiculous that no one is mentioning, is that in the middle of a climate crisis that we

Oh, but if I share all my inner most thoughts and feelings, you say they will pay me $99.99 per month for sharing that information? Oh, I have that backwards, don't I? Eshh, now I suddenly see the light! Thank you! Wink.
