it's also a little bit of BS - there is a tremendous amount of spectrum, not only is there spectrum that is inefficiently used there is also spectrum that is just beginning to become useable due to advances in technology. I hardly believe that white space TV spectrum is the last bastion of wireless communications.....

on the road to higher priced software.... as soon as Insurance and lawyers get involved we're screwed

yup, a little stale - there several different ways that is done now

omnistar, egnos, and Starfire are all satellite based augmentation systems that allow increased GPS accuracy

couldn't have said it better - excellent post ! If I had mod points they'd be yours parent !

its pretty frightening - not sure I want my spinal column along the vertical acceleration vector, I have enough back problems as it is !
I'll pass on this - I like thrills but this seems slightly insane

I started to post on a similar vein - couldn't agree more. You couldn't pay me to put this guy up in my house, although I have cats, children and a host of other things that he find displeasure and disdain in - think I'll go out and pick up some diet coke and a couple of pounds of blue cheese.

As long as it wasn't made in a third world sweatshop, stuffed with cat hair, or Coca Cola branded you'd probably be OK....

I gave up this battle a LONG time ago my anonymous friend - I have always loved the technical interchange on Slashdot and have gotten a lot out of it in the many years I've been a reader , and I think it would be fair to say that engineers who design drones to kill terrorists are regular subscribers - but Slashdot has become more of a political platform in recent years and it is quite left leaning - I truly wish stuff like this would NOT get posted to Slashdot - it only serves to divide the group and breed hate. The level of technical content for this story so far has been non-existent so in my mind it has thus far no redeeming content including this post.

don't forget the Millennium Falcon can fly too - I've seen it on the big screen !

also its 5 millions dollars per checked bag - no carry on

more than likely its a one way ticket for the investors to bankruptcy....

I think the point is that taking down the government web sites serve no purpose and might even be beneficial to the drug cartels, it just doesn't make any real sense to me.

that's a fact, but in reality it is human nature to not be humane - we've been killing each of for thousands of years for land, riches, over religious ideologies, or just for power.... The first Empires in the true definition were Middle Eastern and North African, its kind of ironic in my opinion - I don't think humans will ever have the utopian Star Trek world, but it would be nice....
