    This comment is over-the-top mean and unfair. Alex was my advisor in grad school and I only know him to be honest, hard working and technically sound. I haven’t read this book clos…

    Not really. To geolocate a user the cell providers would need to know the absolute position of all the LTE repeaters and cells (which they might). But they'd also need to compensat…

    A GPS repeater would only give accurate time, not position. The repeater only repeats the signal that's captured by the antenna on the roof. I use GPS repeaters frequently in my la…

    Would you ever be able to test two potential parents to see if they're both carriers for genetic diseases? Or, is that a completely different type of test?

    94% loss is only 12.2 dB (10 * log10(1-0.94) == 12.2)... not that much. Also, where's the STL if I want to try this myself??

    Not only that but APs usually have more antennas, which makes a huge difference. The antennas can also be spaced out more (for better diversity) and be physically larger (typically…

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a high sample rate microphone? Something that can do 120,000 samples per second or more? I don't need USB, really just the high sample rate…

    I've got a 3rd gen and I like except for button-less mouse, the weird touch-strip for the function key. They fixed both of these with the 4th gen though. I use Arch and pretty much…

    I second privoxy. I never see ads and the memory usage is low, 0.1% on my 8GB laptop. I use it along with polipo (a caching proxy).
