As somebody who worked in the cellular industry for a long time, I can tell you for a fact that your CDMA phones do have subsidy locks on them. So not only can you not used a foreign ESN on a CDMA network (Alltel I know is an exception) but you still have to get the phone unlocked from the original cell phone provider. They have to provide the unlock code, unlike GSM where you just about anybody can provide the unlock code. Go Google "Unlock CDMA Phones" and click on any of the links that popup, the first link explains it quite well actually. Your out of your league on this topic.
Are you an idiot?? CDMA carriers lock their phones just like GSM carriers do, matter of fact Sprint won't even let you put a locked phone on their network. The ESN on the phone has to match up as one of the phones they sell.
Actually your wrong, bodies can affect WiFi signals quite a bit. The water in your body can do alot to dampen a wifi signal. In my experience in the IT world I have seen a -15db difference with my body between my laptop and the WAP and vice versa. Also wifi is not "invisible" to walls, I deal with my companies wifi network daily and there is a noticeable difference when you place a WAP on one side of the wall and your laptop on the other.
The guys from IEEE were at the hotel where I am the IT tech a few weeks back discussing new 802.11 standards... Good stuff, crazy speeds. I agree with Mark though, unless we get actual hardware that is capable of keeping up then it won't matter if you have 100G or hell 100TiB for that matter.
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter... Nothing better than blowing the shit out of stuff...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
