It IS classified, its classified as sensitive, hence unplublishable.
If i can't read it then its not available to the public, hence its classified. I don't care about thin layers of differentiation. For me, its a binary field, Can-Read (y/n)... all the layers inside the N, i don't think they really make that much of a difference.
As far as i could see the solar lawnmower i was talking about is not even for sale in the US, Only the mains rechargable is avail. Strange.
And for large places, does this vaccum cleaner recharge on its own ? i mean, go recharge and the continue vaccuming ?
It would be awesome to add a notebook mobo and a hard-drive (or mem stick, or SD card or...) so it can map the house and steer itself back to the broom closet for recharging, and back to the room it was cleaning and so on.
It wouldn't be THAT expensive really, a 486 mb will do. Running linux obviously.
How noisy it is... all the article says is at a pretty low noise level.
Pretty low noise for what ? a vaccum cleaner ? cos even a low noise one is noisy as hell.
This looks like a ripoff of Husqvarna's automatic lawnmower. Only they have a 100% unattended one, as one model is solar powered !! http://www.automower.com/
Q: When the broadcast flag is implemented, can I record any TV program with my existing digital player/recorder and watch it later at more convenient time?
MPAA answer: Yes. If you own an early model digital player/recorder, you will be able to record and playback time-shifted digital recordings of flagged broadcasts. These digital recordings will also play on legacy DVD players. However, when Broadcast Flag-compliant DTV receivers are introduced in the marketplace, their recordings will only play on other compliant players and not on older (legacy) devices. Of course, you can still record and playback digital programs with any existing analog videocassettes recorders/players. The broadcast flag does not affect what you have been able to do in the analog world.
EFF comment: This answer confirms that "Compliant" devices produced under the BPDG-proposed rules are less capable than current-generation devices.
i wonder if they also record device-specific information. like preventing me to watch a movie i recorded at my friend's house (digitally of course)
This in in accordance with the rest of the blocks on the site. Edonkey2000, kazaa, imesh, gnutella, all are blocked as MP3 sites... are they mp3 sites? NO. Do they have software for the p2p sharing of files? YES. Does sourceforge have any p2p appz for d/l? YES.
Following that resoning, should it be blocked ? YES.
I am NOT saying i would block it. But according to those rules it should be. Its might be easier to block the ports all of these use but it helps to prevent ppl waisting company time and bandwidth neither of which are cheap.
I read the article but couldnt find actual sizes anywhere (bacterias vary widely in size) but i wanted to know how smaller than the current transistors inside CPUs these are.
Anyone know ? (BTW: which proc has the smallest rite now ?)
it would probably work as a serverless p2p á la Gnutella / Flock, otherwise you would still need to connect to the antenna to call.
How would the latency of all the "packets" coming together from one end of the call to another ?
Are cellphones capable of more than 1 connection at once ? They have signalling with the antenae together with voice... but that is really all the same connection
The slim legal front is made by paying $1 (or watching the free sample), thus giving you legal rights to watch the movie (Hell, a movie ticket in Iran would probably cost less than a $1 or close to it) BUT NOT RECORD IT.
If you want to record it get onto Kazaa, grokster, etc etc etc and d/l the dvd rip. Go to blockbuster and get SmartRipper and rip it yourself. Buy a bootleg vcd in HK. etc, etc, etc. You'll get much much better quality than 300kbps.
There are countless illegal ways for you to get the movie. As much as the MPAA might dislike it, this one is legal. And they are powerless to touch a server in Iran. They might make all US ISPs to redirect film88's to an MPAA copyrights page or something, but its still legal.
There are various ways to save the stream, StramBox for W% or various proxies for both w% and linux. But that wold be just as bad as any of the above examples.
Lawyers, the scum of the earth, the sewer rats of buisness, are in good standing but not engineers ?? omg, i bet they added them just to avoid the lawsits.. hehehe.. good move actually
I love a m$ bashing any day... but let's not get carried away, even if this IS slashdot.
The fault lies at the idiots who write the worms.
The idiots that open emails and the idiots who wrote the app that helps it spread are not at fault, they were unwilling cooperators. It's like laying the blame at Ford cos you went and ran someone with their car.
If M$ would've left scripting out, we would not have this problem. TRUE. But i could assure you that we certainly would not have it if the genious who wrote the worm thinking he was 3l337 would dedicate the time to something else.
Ouch... that is a comparison that didn't cross my mind.
Of course, as in most countries but the US, McDonald's is a nice resturant because its not meant for the masses, but for a small group, usually in the upper middle class range that wants "american" things.
So its not really aimed for the 21000 rupee a year guy but nevertheless its like us (profesionals, not avereage) paying like $ 140 (50000/365) for a Mc Meal... it really puts things in a new perspective.
"Licenses are available from the inventor upon request. "
Which might mean that he will give them out for free... but it DOES NOT actually say so.
What if he decides to charge elementary schools with swings for using his invention ? and makes the districts pay... after all he does hold the patent to it
this is WAY too ridiculous to be true... yet it is... strange how life surpasses fiction time and time again.

Inventors: Olson; Steven (337 Otis Ave., St. Paul, MN 55104) Appl. No.: 715198 Filed: November 17, 2000
CLAIM
I claim:
1. A method of swinging on a swing, the method comprising the steps of:
a) suspending a seat for supporting a user between only two chains that are hung from a tree branch;
b) positioning a user on the seat so that the user is facing a direction perpendicular to the tree branch;
c) having the user pull alternately on one chain to induce movement of the user and the swing toward one side, and then on the other chain to induce movement of the user and the swing toward the other side; and
d) repeating step c) to create side-to-side swinging motion, relative to the user, that is parallel to the tree branch.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the method is practiced independently by the user to create the side-to-side motion from an initial dead stop.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of:
e) inducing a component of forward and back motion into the swinging motion, resulting in a swinging path that is generally shaped as an oval.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the magnitude of the component of forward and back motion is less than the component of side-to-side motion.

Thx for the clarification!
... why exactly do we care if they do this ? it explicitly says WITHOUT limiting the consumer to make personal copies.
... what IS it for ? anyone ?
So now
On the other hand, that just says what its NOT for, so
This in in accordance with the rest of the blocks on the site. Edonkey2000, kazaa, imesh, gnutella, all are blocked as MP3 sites ...

Not intended as a flamebait, just facts.
Someone haxored my xbox ... and they own it now
omg, they dont even run a proper os to bounce packets inside the local net.
Even if using the linux in psx2 its linux and you need to secure it as any other box.

Lawyers ??? after rereading i saw this.
.. hehehe .. good move actually

WTF do they mean by that.
.pro domain (not that i'd pay $300, but still)
I'm an engineer, and after 5 years of school, and 5 more being a professional i can't even apply for a
What is Good Standing ? why is it limited to those 3 professions ? who decided this ? and why ??
First a virus uses a worm that exploits a vulnerability in Outlook and OE to spread.
Now this.
Ouch.

the price would've been much, much steeper if any of those 4 would've built this.
This is reatailing at $350 bareboned
pretty cheap
Ouch ... that is a comparison that didn't cross my mind.
... it really puts things in a new perspective.

Let's take an international price for comparison, say Mc Donald's ...
:)
... i KNOW this is not a perfect but its far better than saying a quarter a track !!!
Now in india a Chicken McGrill is Rs 25,similar to the american but with mint sauce (!!!,go figure)
So unless i'm mistaken a Chicken McGrill in the US is around $2.89
So each track is almost 3 DOLLARS (you came really close on your guess btw Burg Advocate
Before flaming starts
on another note: i'd rather pay $6 for 2 songs i like than $20 for 2 songs i like and 8 i don't.

i think he described the motion of bodies suspended this way (and various others) but it was sooo long ago i studied this i can't really reacall ...
...
google here i come
i would've done this for free ... omg ... this is soooo funny ...
:)
i wonder if i could get away with applaying for a patent on leaning back on a chair like the simpsons B Franklin episode, but without the supports

They are hilarious ... i have been LMAO for 10 mins ...

this guy is a genious
OMG i can't believe this ...
