maybe not by what he wrote there... but the Snowden leaked documents clearly show he was right.

The leaked docs seem to have items that are to clumsy and easy to detect.  A bit to obvious.  I don't think Snowden exists in reality, but the "leak" is in reality just a diversionary tactic for something else.  Not sure what just yet.

maybe to "burn" the outused technology so everybody and his granny has a detector for it so the others who stole it can't use it, and some more billions are spent to develop more new stuff to replace the old clumsy shit.

I get a fair amount of e-mail from readers asking how a person could do "questionable" things due to limitations imposed by DRM. Whether it's how to strip DRM from ebooks, how to connect to Usenet or how to decrypt video, I do my best to point folks in the right direction with lots of warnings and disclaimers. The most frustrating DRM by far has been with Blu-ray discs.

NNTP s.b.?

NNTP is the transport layer for usenet. I find it amazing how this guy enlists building connections to it (using NNTP) in the same row as "pirating" videos.

hmz. file upload is broken with files > 140k (its even less if you have apache / nginx proxy)

so, here are the pics small enough from the Qubie board --> Cobalt Qube transplantation

After waiting a long time to have me find time to finished it, I finaly made it last weekend.

Love that case still.  Kinda boxy, but a nice shade of blue.

Nice.  What kind of guts did you put inside it?

well, I wrote it ;-) the qubie board with the A10 soc.

these days you get A20's for around the same price...

 

and now that we have fine uploader, I can upload the remaining pics ;-)

oh, and WHEW, one can even select more than one, and you see progress bars during the upload *bouncebouncebounce*

When I last reported on ISEE-3, I wrote:

A big question is whether we even still know how to communicate with the spacecraft. It was built in the 1970s, at the same time as the Voyagers. But we've been in continuous communication with the Voyagers since their launch; the same isn't true of ICE. So the first step is for a team at Goddard Space Flight Center to research that question. Can we figure out how to talk to ICE? What will those communications cost?

 

Not reliable enough.  It seems they are able to pick up the RF already and are making plans on what to do:

That would be awesome to visit when I am passing through the area in July this year.

hm, anybody heard of speed reading so far?

sounds interesting...

Yes
I
have
heard
of
that.
not
convinced.
