The article says that the problems were caused by: "the actuator delayed moving one of the ship's flaps because it "had run against a stop," limiting its movement."
Isn't the WHOLE purpose of the stop to limit movement? or was the stop jarred loose and was stopping movement when it wasn't supposed to ?
This functionality exists in these two devices. They are small, portable (0.5 kg) with a decent battery life (2.5~3hrs watching divx) have MStick and CF interfaces, USB 2.0 and touch screen, 256 (u50) or 512 (u70).
True they are expensive at USD 1,500 and USD 1,700
But they are a full-blown computer with a Celery M 900 o Centrino 1Ghz.
I've thought about this too. Also some of the subbing groups are not based in the US, yet they still stop when the anime/manga gets licensed. This pisses me off a lot, since as i am not in the us, i dont get to see the series aired/in shops, and if i want the dvds i get the imports costs !!
From the article: "What is also noteworthy is the fact that the performance of the Radeon 9800 XT drops at higher resolutions whereas that of the GeForce 6800 Ultra stays at about the same level."
Wouldn't that mean that the limiting factor for fps is NOT the card but some other thing (processor, memory bandwidth) ?
I mean i know they used this hardaware for the test: "The system we used consists of a Pentium 4 3.2GHz EE processor, EpoX? 4PCA3+ i875P chipset motherboard, 1GB of Crucial DDR400 memory and two Western Digital WD740GD Raptors in raid0"
Which is no POS sistem, but still, they should have done some test with the processor and memory overclocked to check if there were really other HW limitations in the Scores.
Basically what you're trying to say is that Apple has stuck to the AAC standard 100%, and anyone wanting to make an online music store for the iPod family would only need to encode the tracks to that standard ?
That does not sound like anything Apple would do, they have a known propietary background.
If i recall correctly the iso standard (it was something like 4016 or 4909) placed the name as only one field in the strip, but i could be wrong about this.
I thought about that too, but my name is different on some of my cards so this would not be practical.
Its Last name, First name in some. First Last in others. First Initial Last in yet others, etc. I have one card where my last name is misspelled (its ok phonetically).
Also now that i think about it, this needs some kind of text entry too, cos it would need to store the CVV to be displayed on screen at purchase time.
*CVV is the 4 digit number middle right in AmEx cards, or 3 digit at the end of the CC number on the back in some Visas and MCs. Its used to verify that the card is physically present at purchase time, as this number is not in the mag strip (i can't figure out exactly how, as it could have been hand copyied by the thief too, but its used for this)

Not only that... the stolen card database would be encrypted and protected by his own fingerprint should he ever be caught.
Making him decode the cards would be akin to making him testify against himself, hence making it unadmissible in court.
Plus he could always claim (farfetched, yes, but possible) that it was all some kind of equipment glitch or Chamaleon card mixup in a bar or something along these lines
The parent was saying to use the RECORDER to steal the card numbers using it to record the customer's card (as you would your own cards) and then sending it to the Chamaleon card to use it in shops.
Just imagine what you could do with the RFID cards. Just walking in a mall recording off other people's cards, or cars !!!
And the irony is that you can even steal the info off these Chamaleon cards.
The only thing that could be done to prevent this is to make it hold only a small number of each type of card. Like only 10 Credit Cards. Still, its pretty much simplyfies the "printing" of stolen cards.
OTOH, i wonder if this will ever work. CC companies must back this up to work, i mean try taking the mag strip off your AmEx (or visa, or... ) card, and pasting it on a cardboard card, and write your name and number up on the front. And then TRY to use it in any shop. I am sure they'll just ask for some other card.
1) They are both subscribers and had more time than you did.

The guy that placed that there never changed the air filter out of a kitchen extractor (? the thing that sucks in air on top of the stove).
That gets covered with a disgusting, icky oily paste. so i am guessing the lcd tv there is going to be both a)airtight and waterproof (vapour) b)cleanable with detergent/window cleaner.
Lets face it, writing documentations SUCK, and it will suck forever.
When was the last time you saw an MS Office User's Manual ? it doesnt even come in digital form, and its a 600 usd software, and dont get me started on usd 3000 soft like Acad, or 3ds.

All oceans of the world are photographed, tho probalby not at that resolution.

Most of that info is freely available.

I'd rather buy one of these.
My point exactly, oce licenced its next to impossible to get.

I wonder what those are ? and maybe they'll upgrade soon to TwistedPair Tables or Fiber Tables
Proofreading, anyone ?

My thoughts EXACTLY.
It would be awesome to devastate 1000s of NEO wannabes left and right.
Maybe if they limited the Agent's powers, like don't let them just take over any NPC? and be stuck with one body that can respawn on death.

Is it sooo improbable that this was somehow sponsored by the RIAA ? (or similar)

On one hand i dont see it as too likely, on the other, lately my capacity for surprise has been worn down by strange lawsuits and laws (Can-Spam).
and RIAA was, after all, seeking to make their hacking P2P-ers legal

You TOTALLY missed the point.

This is without a doubt the best thieves's tool!

Pity Spammers ? WOW.
Please post all the email addresses of Forbes editors as replies to these post for the address harvesters.
Evidently they are not receiving enough spam.
If this works, look forward to the "Death to Spammers" article next issue.
The links actually post to the same paper in MIT. Perhaps the second link was fupped ?
