At that $10k/mo is either a self-employed dev or a really junior person. Overhead (taxes, benefits, office rents, paying for management/hr/accounting/etc) for a salaried person is generally at least 100% of gross salary. Assuming because his site’s got enough visibility for him to insist on solid testing vs just…

True as far as it goes, but all that means is that they set impossible goals that can only be met by forced unpaid overtime while admiring the way their horns tilt their (stolen) halo at a perfectly jaunty angle.

HD Radio in the US runs on the same frequency band as FM radio does. No new spectrum was allocated to support HD and none will inherently be freed if FM is shutdown. If digital broadcast either needs less spectrum per channel (or a smaller dead zone between it and the next station on the same frequency) it’s possible…

Not quite. If you look at a national map, you'll see both gray and black in the western US. Cherry Springs only hits the gray level one step short of fully dark. Also, keep in mind that those maps were generated with data from the 90's and AFAIK no one has used newer data to create an updated version. With a…

Do you have a nearby wall outlet that you could use to semi-permanently hook it to a USB charger?

It's not just a tiny spec, the entire northern forest is really dark. You're probably thinking of Cherry Springs state park which has astronomy friendly campgrounds (meaning they're not ruined by insecurity lights, etc). IIRC they have some cabins on the site as well as space to pitch your tent.

The sad part is that compared to the competition this actually is a good deal. The $300-400 price bucket on newegg is full of 15" 1024x768 resistive screens (intended for POS use); and the cheapest 15" capacitive displays they have start at $500ish while appearing to be otherwise equally worthless.

The people who run the Time pool are too incompetent to log IPs with votes and then reject everything those that have voted thousands of times.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner by Randall Jarrell. published in 1945.

Much closer to TCP I'd think. Packet loss in science data or command and control signals isn't acceptable; so it needs to keep retrying until they're through. UDP's spray and pray is precisely the wrong way to go.

And what is it that put America in the forefront of the

Hardly. Clear still has huge chunks of 2.5 GHz space that wasn't used for WiMax; in another year or two they'll have finally shut down the Nextel iDen network freeing up a good sized chunk of 800 MHz spectrum. Their initial LTE deployment will be on a (currently unused) 10 MHz band at 1900 MHz; with the intend to…

Well someone is, but not ATT...

I had to remove the link to the amazon page to get my comment to post; it's the 2nd hit if you Google for "kindle ToS". The wireless section of that page is linked to directly from the 3g section of the connecting your kindle wirelessly page (google "connecting your kindle wirelessly" and scroll down to just past '3g…

Keep in mind amazon reserves the right to charge you for data use.

Who cares; it won't add any extra capacity to the network. You'll just be able to hit your data cap twice as fast.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep them in mind for the next time one of my current pairs wears out its cord. Considering they're about as thick as many ear cup style models I'm not surprised they're able to get better sound than normal for typical open designs.

I've been using Sennheiser open air headphones for years for the same reason (among others). My only complaint is that all the headphone companies have apparently decided that open-air is only of interest to people unwilling to pay for better quality audio.

Jammers are illegal; but I don't think this is one. The fact that it mentions bluetooth and an app on the phone makes me think it uses BT to send a silencing message to the phone and the app on the phone enforces it.
