Wrinkle in U-NII Expansion Plans

Wrinkle in U-NII Expansion Plans 11/13/2003 02:51 PM
Dewayne Hendricks noticed an interesting omission from the agenda of the FCC's Open Meeting today: Commissioners had planned to discuss adding 255 MHz to the 5 GHz band and Hendricks says observers expected the item to pass. But the item was dropped from the agenda. Wonder why... That additional 255 MHz should translate into as many as 12 additional nonoverlapping channels for 802.11a, which already has 12 nonoverlapping channels. In a talk with Atheros that Glenn had recently, the company noted that bonding channels in 802.11a to create multiple channel throughput of 108 Mbps or higher has enormous potential because of the lack of channel overlap....

Nutcase wants to sue because he has same

Nutcase wants to sue because he has same
name as video game character 03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Cory Doctorow: A guy who has the same name as a character in a Blair Witch video game is making crazy lawsuit threats against a gamer news-site because when you google his name, you get information about the game -- and he's sad because people think he's a nutcase!

My name is Robert MacNichol and this name is coming up on the Blair Witch Vol. II site at:

http://gr.bolt.com/games/codes/pc/blairwitch_vol2_coffin_walk.htm

I'd like some explination as to how this happened. I want my name off your public domain and diconnected with anything relating to your business. Please advise Rob...

Thank you. I'm wondering if my name shows up on some NAMBLA site---which I won't even click on out of curiosity. I got a couple of lawyers--I know--looking into it now. Usually they say forget it. not yet on this one. You're probably on track when you imply I can shove it if I don't like it. I got a scathing bunch of e-mails calling me a whack job because this popped up when someone typed in my name. Damned embarrasing. I wasn't threatening to sue. I was asking for some solution other than that. If I do. And if I win big--hahahahahahahahaha!--I'll remember you and the site...and your pointer about reality. Someone got rich when they spilled a cup pf coffee in there lap at McDonalds. I ought to be able to get my name off a whack site don't you think? My favorite all time game was River Raid by Atari(?) as I recall. The only other one I like is Pong , oh! and Brick Attac k--on my cell phone. I know a lady who "became" a witch. Blair Witch wadda .... wadda.... I can't even think of the term. The VN thing is me. A Canadian liblosrer? Naw. Helen who? I get your point...never the less wish me luck. I may be paving new ground on the WWW.

MMO character run by nine profoundly
disabled players 12/27/2004 05:45 PM
Cory Doctorow: Wagner James Au sez, "Second Life resident lilone Sandgrain, who IRL manages a large group of severely disabled people in a care center, recently convinced her bosses to give her nine clients an SL account of their own, to share. Since then, she's been slowly introducing them to the world. (And vice versa.) Avatar customization, online flirtation, and object creation take on new meanings, when they're conducted by a group of nine disabled people with wildly varying backgrounds from their wheelchairs."

"How did we decide on what we would look like, and our gender? We formed the man avatar first, because that day, we had more men in the group. We always wanted a female one, but we haven't taken the time to create her yet. Mary and Johanna would like that very much. We decided on how wilde would look first by starting with skin colors. We have both black and white in our real life group, and didn't want to have those because neither is better than the other. So we picked orange...

"Micah and Charlene could use the mouse," lilone replies, when I ask her if it's possible for each member of wilde to enter Second Life directly, perhaps with their own individual accounts. "John and Nichole could, but wouldn't alone. Micah can't read. Charlene has one hand, but can read." She shrugs. "None of them, really."

Their solution, for now at least, is lilone effectively acting as their interface: she sits at the keyboard, with the wilde group gathered in a semi-circle in a cramped care center room, peering over her shoulder and into the monitor, at the world inside...
