...late 1970s to initialize modems to ask the phone specific questions about the information it may be storing. Those commands, known as AT, were one of the tools 17-year-old hacker George Hotz used to unlock his iPhone from the AT&T network. "Coming into this project I didn't know that cell phones used AT commands," Hotz wrote on his blog last week, as he thanked his fellow hackers for their help...
...most pressing problem is funding - how to pay for a project that will total at least $22 billion and could reach as high as $40 billion. The first five years of NextGen will cost $4.6 billion alone. Both the airlines and the FAA argue that Congress should revise how the FAA is funded, specifically by requiring owners of private planes to pay more to fly. One recent report found that commercial airlines are paying for 94% of the airways but using only 73% of them. "The CEO of Google has a Boeing 767 - should he be paying a fraction...
...Fellows, the radar's project manager, says the upgrades are in line with getting any complicated vessel ready for action, pointing out that the Navy takes a year to "shake down" - or test - a new ship to work out all the kinks.

"This project is too large for such a small island," he warns. (SE says that it has responded to environmental objections, including earthquake risks...
...encyclopedic in his knowledge of the smallest details of electoral politics - of precincts and turnout models, county activists and regional issues - but he always had a broader idea about where he, and Bush, were going, and where they would take the party. As long ago as 1998, his stated project with Bush was to remake the G.O.P. into a permanent governing majority of the kind the Democratic Party enjoyed from 1932 through 1968. He would do it by winning over Latino voters and breaking the Democrats' grip on seniors and - of course - pounding voters at every turn with the argument...
