These rules are very similar to those already in place in Australia (http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:STANDARD::pc=PC_1...).

Am I the only one who read the title and thought it referred to a 'pushbutton' style electronics hardware switch? I would have been quite excited to see that!

Can you expand some more - does this software connect to a modem to send SMS's to nearby phones? Is this software similar to a stingray device, or am I misunderstanding this?

The OP says they are engaged - depending on the situation this may mean the increased risk of a startup is not a great choice.

And forgive us our sheep-throwing.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing!

I can't believe someone solved this. Champion effort.

Was anyone else taken with the images interspersed throughout that blog post? Does anyone know where they are from?

Edit: found them thanks to Google image search: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2014/01/machines-alive-whims...

I've got the same question as johnm1019 - I've used FEM for mechanical stress analysis before, but never for electromagnetic stuff - what would the applications of this software be?

Great work! This is really cool! My church currently doesn't have a system like this, but is definitely heading this way.

Thanks for the comment - my network's SSID is already being broadcast though.

Good to hear I'm not crazy - mine is an MBA too, but an older model (mid 2011).

I'm the same - I have HN, Wikipedia and many sites on some level of zoom.

This page has been down for me for the past 8 hours - is it working for anyone?

Grew up playing this game - thanks for reminding me of it :)

This is amazing - I had loads of fun playing with this for a couple of minutes - thanks!

"How is Go or Rust better than C C++ Ruby Python Lisps Java Smalltalk Erlang and whatnot." - sure fire way to start a flame war with programmers ;)

Thanks, their site has been down for hours.

In Australia this information is freely available in public databases anyway. Obviously temporary towers might not be present in these records though.

First paragraph, this made me laugh - "what if you just want to know the real deal about the English explorer John Smith’s encounter with Pocahontas?" - then you shouldn't be looking on Wikipedia!

That's awesome! And congratulations on the dream job!

- At age 12, I taught myself C programming using [1] (I had never programmed before, but wanted to make games), then proceeded to write a 12,000 line 3D OpenGL Game Engine from scratch, using the NeHe tutorials [2] as guides. It took me three years. The final program ran on Windows XP and 98, could import 3D models from Autodesk 3D Studio, and had a 3D asteroids style game demo. I used Milkshape [3] for 3D modelling, and Dev-C++ as my IDE [4].

- For an AI course at University, my partner and I developed a custom motion planning algorithm involving neural networks, RRTs [5] and POMDPs [6] in several thousand lines of Java. That was some of the craziest (and most fun) programming I've ever done. Our lecturer was Hanna Kurniawati [7], who is world famous (for some value of 'world') for her work on POMDPs, which was really cool.

Been working with LibGDX since 2010 - I still remember buying the Newton physics game on my Motorola Droid. This was the best 2D Android game engine back then, and it still is in my opinion :) Congrats to the devs!

Got halfway through this today - most fun I've had programming in ages. Thanks for the link and thanks to the author!

Don't try playing that flappy bird clone with headphones in. It's gonna take my ears a while to recover from that coin sound.

How is that variation politically incorrect? Genuine question here. If anything, to me it seems culturally correct.

Relevant anecdote: For a high school ICT project my class had to make an educational game in Visual Basic. I made a 'math invaders' clone where you answer simple algebra sums (e.g. 5 + x = 12) to defeat the relentless hordes of aliens. At home my 8yo brother watched me play for about 5 minutes, then exclaimed 'Oh I get it, the letters are like numbers that you have to find!', then went on to play the game himself for hours. He learnt algebra about 6 years before any of his classmates through gamification, and years down the track enjoys math more than many of his friends.

Time signatures are extrinsic to a piece of music; a 3/4 piece can be also be written as a x/y piece, it will just be confusing for the musicians to follow.

The one best thing about this - comments.
