Comment the kicker is "simultaneous" operation (Score 2) 47

the conditions of test in the abstract listed were not mentioned. this is routine in cross-polarization (transmit vertical, receive horizontal) or in time-division (squintillions of telco, digital TV applications) multiplexing. but if this was going to happen on one little dinky antenna in the side of a smartphone at the same time on the same chip, the echo cancellation algorithm on chip would be the size of a SUV. and echo cancellation is sort of TDM all in itself.

I'll believe it when the flying pig hands the document off to my unicorn for translation.

Comment this whole "security" thing is bogus (Score 2) 132

there is no such thing as security any more using the common models and parameters. got to step it up, without fallback to silliness like 512 bit keys. the bigger problem is nobody has been bankrupted and sent to jail yet, so the impetus is not there to fix it as the first priority of business.

Comment printing photographically is different (Score 1) 169

the filtration banks are CMY for positive prints off positive media. for positive prints from negative media, you use RGB filter packs. for wacky shit, rules are out the window, including the "correct" chemical packs for each type of media.

I don't think you want to make 3xBW Technicolor type storage for a time capsule, you have to do everything three ways and figure out what to do with filters, sync, etc. good stable dyes on a polyester base in a low-humidity sealed container not subject to temperatures way outside shirtsleeve weather should last at least 100 years.

Comment boing-boing-boing. kangaroo court. (Score 1) 671

reason being, what evidence have they got that they want out in the public domain, feeding the 24x7xscrew-it, we-never-blink news cycle?

"May it please the court, I have ten million intercepts the defendent had access to. But you can't look. Oh, no, secret secret, we already shot the custodian of the documents."

"Counselor, that's all you ever say."

"Judge, I got a rifle on you, too."

nah, this can't be a fair trial. stay safe. stay gone.
