Same here. Kernel 0.9pl6. I miss the days when the kernel source fit on a single 3.5in floppy and one could read through all the config options in less than 10 minutes.

Looks like it. They need to address the problem of RFI and EMI to have any hope of succes. With digital, as long as the interference is not great enough to flip a bit, it does not matter. But with chips like these, radio frequency interference may bias the results in subtle and unpredictable ways. Lightning strikes or even cell phone use could change the results.

Once some virus writer figures out how to change a system's "signature" to look like Windows has been pirated, things will get more interesting for Microsoft customer support. Souunds like a genuine disadvantage to me.

Let's see, if someone could sense WIFI why would they need a separate detector??? Hmm...

I live 10 miles outside a city. No DSL, no cable, no FIOS, no Wifi, no WiMAX, etc. With the ATT 3G service I was routinely getting around 1.2 Mbps down which was sufficient for my needs. I could easily reach the 5GB limit in less than a month of reasonable usage. Youtube was just an example. There are lots of other compelling broadband services. A local WISP started offering 900 MHz 2Mbps (measured peak bandwidth!) service and even offered to give me a discount to offset the $150 fee that ATT charges to break the contract. It was an easy decision to switch.

Even if we assume that their speed claims are true, the benefit of this new product will be severely limited if ATT Wireless retains their currently policy of charging $0.25/MB once users hit their monthly limit of 5GB. I finally gave up on ATT because it was such a pain to monitor my usage and stop normal broadband activity (e.g., youtube, etc.) near the end of every month when I got close to the limit.
