This is mostly wrong: while she did invent what would later be called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), it isn't used in modern WiFi or in GPS. It is used in Bluetooth though.

I should point out that techniques like FHSS are only a part of what makes up a radio communication method. You can't say it was "the basis of Bluetooth" just because FHSS is one of the many technologies used in Bluetooth. She certainly contributed though.

Most likely it's got poor security and has been compromised to use as part of a DDOS network. ie. Someone has taken it over to use your bandwidth (and tens of thousands of other people's) to sell on the dark web as a service to attack others on the internet.

So it turns out that it's not a lack of women giving them a bad attitude - it's their bad attitude giving them a lack of women. Who'd have thought.

We should treat them like snipers? ie. We should rush them and neutralise the threat they pose?

Yeah but think of all the bacteria it's putting out of work.

Hey Prince Andrew, if the truth hurts then maybe it's you that's in the wrong?

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.

It's almost like people are incapable of comprehending that all types of pollution are important, not just one or the other. Exhaust emissions are bad. Tyre pollution is also bad. Reducing one is a good step. Reducing both would be even better.

Smoking's already dramatically fallen out of popularity with younger people, being replaced by vaping. So I don't think it really matters what they do at this point - smoking's a dinosaur waiting to die.

"Personal reasons". If they continue to pry just say it's extemely personal and hopefully they'll back off.

Traffic was close to zero here during covid lockdowns. It was bliss - it was quiet and serene like I've never experienced before.

Is it wrong to be wistful about the car-free depths of a pandemic?

Also, humiliating someone in front of the whole LKML list by calling their code garbage isn't constructive. It's the reason why a lot of people take one look at that toxic cesspit and walk the other way.

Sounds like treason to me.

When's someone going to have the balls to charge him with it, and then sentence him to death for it?

That's just how good you are.

C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can't do is perform as poorly as python.

I'm Australian and the one that really gets me is when Americans refer to indigenous Australians as "African American" because of their skin colour. They're in no way from Africa or America, but nice job appropriating our native people.

They're not wrong that democracy's under threat. But maybe the threat's from the guy who has literally said he's going to murder political opponents - y'know, the guy they support.

If police don't have a working body cam there should be an automatic presumption of guilt on their part.

It's already been addressed in Linux - not sure about other OSes. They doubled the size of time data so now you can keep using it until after the heat death of the universe. If you're around then.

There's no requirement that he was previously convicted of insurrection - that's a separate charge and carries a higher bar. The constitution only requires that the court concludes as part of this case that he was involved in an insurrection. And there's a wealth of evidence showing that he was so the courts will almost certainly come to that conclusion.
