Are you indicating everyone should be able to own a weapon then? Despite being incapacitated in some way, which may lead to injury of themself or others.

Isn't the whole point of a gun to kill people though, unlike a car?

You're not thinking of Indistinguishability Obfuscation per chance?

A lot of GNU Radio is actually written in C++. Looking at some examples, it seems you don't need Python to create the flow graph either, that can be done in C++.

Sure I can see that, but isn't a base station implementation just as complex?

I'm confused, there seems to be open base station implementations such as OpenBTS, why is there no SDR based cellphone already I wonder?, as that'd be really neat in my opinion.

Hi. What makes it industrial grade out of interest? Under the hood are you using microcontrollers or..?

Could you give some more information on the controller.

Cheers

Am I right in thinking from watching the CCC talk though, that you can simply use another computer to do the debugging, as they show a debugging cable which crosses over wires.

I assume "USB Debug" option in my BIOS refers to this feature, however it did seem to be shipped "Disabled" for me.

I saw their product on Dragons' Den yesterday.

I found it rather surprising as I've bought similar bluetooth key fobs, from Aliexpress for around $1.40 each and they mentioned they where planning on selling them for around £20.

The lack of multiple levels of menus is something I noticed with Ghost too, when I last played with it.

Also I'm wondering, with Squarespace, it's not clear whether you can install on your own server or not

I'm very interested in the Kong Feng GB Boy Colour he mentioned, I'd love to know how they copied the GameBoy CPU etc. through decapping.
