Commented on Hedy Lamarr: '30s film diva, mobile phone tech pioneer, anti-Nazi gadget inventor.
sigh ... CDMA doesn't use frequency hopping. CDMA uses code-space orthogonality, not frequency orthogonality. GSM, on the other hand, does have a frequency hopping mode for interference avoidence. Can't you guys get anything right?...

Commented on Wireless relay control of relays
XBee works on 2.4 GHz. I assume this is the 2.4 GHz ISM band which is also used by WiFi. Any ideas on how/if XBee plays nicely with WiFi?...

Commented on 4G network rolling out this year in two cities .. but which ones?
Oh, and by the way, Seattle and SF are huge collective pains in the a$$ for radio deployments. Both are too hilly and surrounded by too much salt water. What you really want is a land-locked, low-slung city like Phoenix....
Commented on 4G network rolling out this year in two cities .. but which ones?
Full disclosure: I work for a WiMAX vendor. WiMAX is my daily bread and butter. Baltimore has had a commercial Mobile WiMAX network since October 2008. It was deployed under Sprint's Xohm brand. I believe that property was transferred to...

Modusoperandi commented on Early devices for "rhythm method"
I like how it's numbered. The limited edition ways to get pregnant are always worth more on Ebay. Antinous / Moderator "There's a world of difference between the rhythm method using guesswork and the rhythm method using a thermometer." Obviously. One results in an unplanned pregnancy while the other in an unexpected one. ... It should just have a spinner with two spots: "You got lucky this time" and "Wups"...

Much of the pop surrealism stuff leads me cold, but not these particular works - sounds like a really good show, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention....

Late to the party. @23, you assume incorrectly. This is indeed that same Planned Parenthood, founded in 1916. Since it's Teen Pregnancy Awareness Month, I'll do the whole spiel. If there's a teen in your life, now is a great time to check in with them and make sure they have good, science-based information on reproductive and sexual health, even if they're not sexually active yet. ANY birth control method can fail, even, as MrsBug sys, surgical sterilization. Failure rates get higher if methods are not being done consistently (condoms on before penetration, pills taken every day--we're all human). Backup...
PixelFish commented on Lush Life art show at Seattle's Roq La Rue
I saw this show last night. A nice selection of works. While I was there because a few of my former coworkers were showing, a few new-to-me artists also caught my eye: Mia Araujo, Travis Louie, and Dan Quintana* all had some lovely works there. (*The Dan Quintana piece that shows in the preview is not as good as his other piece which didn't make it into the preview for some reason.)...
