Why are you using any version above 2.2.1?

That was the last real version.

You have the Part 15 and ISM services for that. You really can buy a microwave link that's metropolitan-distance and legal to use.

We lost much of our 440 capability to PAVE PAWS in California. Remember, Amateur Radio is not the primary service on many bands. The military is on 440.

If you want that nearly infinite microwave spectrum, you have the Part 15 and ISM services. Absolutely nothing is stopping you. Power is not the issue with those frequencies, it's line of sight and Fresnel zones.

No, I absolutely do not have to prefix my words with anything. You do that by posting as an anonymous coward. I use my real name to indicate that I stand behind my words.

Yes. The usual mechanism here would be WiFi security, with HTTPS or SSL inside of it.

they are not durable coatings though, only good for skyscrapers and only if your definition of "clean" is pretty loose.

If they can figure optically clear and at least some durability it could revolutionize cars and planes by makeing self cleaning self wiping windscreens.

Comcast has reached the point where staying with the devil you know is worse than trying the devil you don't.

When are they going to change their name to the "We hate americans" party?

I am so done with those paid for corrupt scumbags, and it blows my mind how any person that can call themselves a republican can support these idiots and how scummy evil they really are.

I'm waiting for them to start wearing sponsor patches like Nascar race teams.

Information is power, think before handing too much of it over to the marketing dudebros.

I try to use email as much as possible. People forget what was said, or remember things in different ways. The nice thing about email -- or any recorded communication -- is that you have a history of who said what, when.

Already been done. The conservatives had a shitfit when their ads were blocked. http://www.bloomberg.com/polit...

Naturally that was that and this is this and it's totally different when it's their message being blocked by the carriers.

I'll need two fossils and the sex tape

And a marriage certificate.

Thank God he did this. If the GPS system had been launched we'd all be dead by now.

OK, no real technical data and some absurd claims here.

First all-digital transceiver? No. There have been others. Especially if you allow them to have a DAC and an ADC and no other components in the analog domain, but even without that, there are lots of IoT-class radios with direct-to-digital detectors and digital outputs directly to the antenna. You might have one in your car remote (mine is two-way).

And they have to use patented algorithms? Everybody else can get along with well-known technology old enough that any applicable patents are long expired.

It would be nicer if there was some information about what they are actually doing. If they really have patented it, there's no reason to hold back.

It's not computer-related, but this book reminds me of the Phantom Tollbooth.
