North Pole Goes Wireless
North Pole Goes Wireless
04/15/2005 04:36 AMThe
possible puns regarding this story are practically endless, though the
Register does a good job of exploiting most of them: Two Intel
employees set up a hotspot at a research camp at the North Pole. It
uses Iridium phones for backhaul, which means the access is probably
excruciatingly slow, but people at the North Pole probably aren't
complaining. The deployment is purportedly meant to check out how the
equipment fares in such cold, wet weather, though there are plenty of
other such experiments that have been done for some time. Dave Hughes
has done tons of work in Alaska with wireless networks and he was also
instrumental in enabling the hotspot at Mt. Everest base camp in
Nepal.

While not busy encouraging the destruction of the original 'Moore's Law'
article, Intel's employees have installed a wireless hot spot near the
North Pole. Built in the Arctic region at the Barneo ice camp, Intel
Russia engineers installed an 802.11 b/g access point and established
a connection with four of their laptops, 78 miles from the North Pole
(using, of course, Centrino mobile technology to accomplish this
feat). The hot spot has since been taken down, but survived the cold
(-22°F or worse) and worked reliably. Of course, "Intel pointed to
the experiment as an example of how mobile technology allows users to
work anywhere," even if I can't get a signal in my own backyard.

Tracks Santa Website: For the 50th consecutive year, NORAD will be
tracking Santa as he delivers presents tomorrow night. Let's hope a
Patriot missile doesn't try to shoot him down by accident. It probably doesn't matter,
because according to a
seriously geeky analysis, he'll self-destruct anyway.
353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air
resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as
spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of
reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second.
Each.
In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously,
exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in
their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26
thousandths of a second.
Ah, the magic of Christmas.

06/07/2004 01:56 PMWell, the press certainly loves this story for the headline alone, but
the details are a bit less than exciting. Everyone seems to be
rushing out stories about how
Microsoft and SAP had some merger talks last year, but gave
them up when they felt that the deal would be fairly complex (you
think?) and would have integration difficulties. Companies examine
the idea of merging with other companies on a fairly regular basis -
and most of those conversations go nowhere (fast). This seems to be
just one of those types of situations, which is just getting attention
due to the names involved. It doesn't sound like the conversations
ever got that far along (and you can imagine that antitrust folks
would had a field day if they had).

03/13/2003 10:25 AMThe Radisson I'm staying at in Austin has a single meeting room set up
with ethernet Net access. So, last night after the excellent EFF
party, which I left as soon as the band started up and all
conversation ended, I went there to pick up my email. It was about
midnight and a handful of 20ish guys were there, along with one
similarly-aged woman. The guys turned out to be the band "Trouble Is"
who were on their way to LA to play a gig at the Troubador (I think).
I've never heard of them, of course. But what...

04/01/2005 03:24 PMI have been having this periodic problem with Norton Antivirus 2005
when I start the computer or loaded a word document windows would
appear like a program was trying to load. I thought it was spyware or
something. Turns out it is a bug in Norton Antivirus 2005 and here is
what I found.
I was getting the message in a popup dialog box that said. "Norton
Antivirus 2005 does not support repair feature reinstall Norton" , so
I do that and the problem goes away.
Then a couple of days later it pops up again. I go to the Symantec
support site and here is the solution to the issue and I am red in the
face.
This message can happen if you have changed the default location
for the Norton AntiVirus shortcuts in the Windows Start Menu. The
default locations of the shortcuts are:
In Norton AntiVirus installed as part of Norton SystemWorks:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton
SystemWorks\Norton AntiVirus
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton
SystemWorks Premier\Norton AntiVirus
Here is what that all means you are forced to have it on the main
Program line. What a bunch of idiots. I like my program bar nice and
organized no sole program gets to be on the main program line
everything is in neat categories..
