The only reason those pigs are into open source in pretty much third world countries, is because they see FOSS as a threat in those countries. They are afraid that companies and government will use Linux. They should be afraid, because Linux is better than Windows.
Others have already pointed it out. Put the thing in an orbit of sorts, use relay satellite when behind moon. Use gyroscopes to perfectly smoothly track what you're looking at.
No need to spend all that money landing on the moon.
What a stupid idea, putting it on the moon. Obvious in your face money agenda. I guess the people buying it are stupid.
Often, products are engineered with an obvious short life span. Cars are an example.
Bad plastics that become brittle or become brittle are often used to intentionally make a product fall apart.
The right plastics exist for amazing quality, but I believe that every time I see crappy plastic it is done intentionally.
I highly doubt Blu Ray uses the stupid wmv format.
There is a Java program in circulation that can decode a Blu Ray encrypted video using a key you get from the internet. It should be easy to port that to C and combine it with mencoder to have a complete Blu Ray archiving solution all contained on the PS3. Lots of fun no thanks to crappy M$.
I'm sick of Microsoft and they're behind HD DVD. I love Java and think anti Java people are uninformed and ignorant. I want Blu Ray to win, so any news about HD DVD losing ground and Blu Ray gaining is good news to me.
Aha, but that's the magic of encryption. It absolutely guarantees that only point A and point B sees the messages. Anything in between, including the cell company, or some agency trying to eavesdrop, can not make out the contents of the call. This is possible through either a public/private/signature scheme, or just straight symmetrical encryption.
The newer parts of P2P that handles the scattering could be duplicated in cell phones. You join a network (it's a data call, so you need a data plan obviously), and it'd have to take the sound from the microphone, and play back through the speaker. Not sure if a little Java or native program even can handle all that. I don't know enough about cell phone's cpu's what is and isn't possible. But if there is at least somewhat of a capable cpu inside (Nokia N800, N95, iPhone, OpenMoko, etc), the ability to record sound from the microphone and play back through a speaker, and acquire an ip address and transfer data, then absolutely it can become very much anonymous. They can only see the fact that you're make "A" call, not where to, and the content is completely hidden.
Ok, I see. However, perhaps scattering techniques like we've been seeing in recent p2p innovations, could make it untraceable who's calling who. All they'd be able to figure out is the fact that you are making "A" call. They'd be a network/web of nodes through which information flows scattered, in pieces spread out.
It'd be very slow, and you'd obvious not have a very smooth phone call. It'd be like talking to somewhere between the moon and mars;-)
My point is it *IS* possible to make it pretty much 100% anonymous. Just like how p2p is becoming 100% anonymous.
Simple encryption should make it easy to avoid eavesdropping. Encrypted VOIP, from PC, or mobile through Wifi, or else convert sound into data which is transmitted through cell phone company as data, ought to keep any eavesdropping 100% at bay.
Simple encryption added to IM, and a professor claims to have created/co-created this. Pick a coder and coder, very trivial stuff. Arrogant bunch of people those professors over there in Waterloo.
Check out how (late) Phil Salin puts it:

"It is an absurdity to expect those millions of individuals to perform patent searches or any other kind of search prior to the act of writing a program to solve a specific problem."
I just wish that people of the USPTO would pay attention to Phil's excellent article.

I'm all for this program, but...
The cost seems to have doubled from what they led us to believe it should have costed.
Second, how do I know that that second laptop was really produced and really ended up in the hands of a child?
I'm not trusting this as is.
Hi, there is this utility called Diego. I think you need version 3.08 or 3.09. I'm not sure about the actual versions, but you could google around see what the latest version you see people refer to.
This utility is normally used by service people I think to let them access all the internal settings and configurations. This is normally hidden from the normal user. Some of the settings are more scary settings, like the transmission power I think. There's no need horsing around with those settings.
The obvious setting you will want to "rig" is the ability for you to run java application jars that you upload. Normally, when you upload a jar file, it won't let you run it all all. After using Diego, you can.
Also, you can't upload an mp3 and use it as a ringtone. But after doing the Diego thing, it works perfectly.
There are some other settings, but for now, I'm happy that I can download Java apps and use mp3 ringtones.
Great phone, by far the best one for Virgin Mobile, in Canada anyway. Their plans are the best in Canada as well - by far.
Virgin Mobile's Nokie 6275i. Run Diego on it to hack the restrictions out of it, and I've got mp3, java, mp3 ringtones, everything. $10 / month, 10 cents a minute, no bs system access or Rogers' help save the towers fee. I can't stand Rogers, I don't like Bell's and Telus' India call center outsourcing. Branson is cool. Virgin Mobile in Canada ***aaaallll the way*** The other players have no hope in hell for me. At work, I laugh at all those contracts. I calculate how much they have to pay over 3 years. One guy is stuck with over $2500 by the time he's done. "But they gave me a free replacement phone". Yeah ok, after paying $2500 you'd *expect* a free phone.
Sorry, the service plans, and system access fees are for the suckers out there.
The Canadian ingdirect site doesn't seem to do that. Instead, you have to pre-program a bunch of questions. Every time you log in, you have to answer one of those questions. Not very good, but better than nothing.
I like the scrambled visual keypad technique much better.
The only way then to log that, is for the logger to screen capture anythings that it thinks might look like a log in, and then on every mouse click.
Idiot remarks about Java are actually rare these days. Most understand the power of Java these days, but some like yourself stay in the dark ages for unknown reasons. Practically everything you've just barfed up is incorrect. No need for me to elaborate, you've got your @ss kicked by all the other responses already.
Some of it the fault of un-intuitive developers. Some of it the fault of hardware companies not sharing technical information with linux developers.
I'm still extremely thankful to the people that have made a contribution. It absolutely totally rocks that we have what we have.
It *has* to be possible to break the sound-barrier and iron out all those pesky wrinkles. Maybe the answer lies into creating a movement with enough political attachment, where hardware companies will be more compelled to share information in a format that's useful and more pro-active.
I'm not even going to click through to that article. Trivial stuff. I'd shine a light from an angle, spin the disk, scan the groove, write a computer algorithm that looks for the shadow boundaries. Should be possible to complete the task in 1 to 4 weeks.
Creative lawyers (you know, that deceptive dream team), first tobacco, then anti environment during election time, and who knows what else. Have *they* ever giving this EU patent thing a whirl?
Problem is that when governments (US and Canada anyway) want to know the toxicity of a substance, they end up asking the industry that makes it for a report. A report like that will claim that as long as the exposure is below a certain level, it's "considered" safe. D24, is controversial for instance. People are using it on their lawns left and right. Some cities banned it though. For instance, the city of Toronto in Canada banned it. More bans are happening. It's found to be carcinogenic, depending on who you ask. The industry or people that stand to benefit from it, claim it's harmless or the toxicity is below "acceptable" levels. This is where we get conned into these things. I don't trust the industry with a ten feet pole. A lot of damage to people and land has already happened. But did you see the industry warn us about it? I fear a ton more damage to our land around the world, and damage to people in various forms as a result.
Scam companies like Monsanto will have a field day with us. Not only will they own all the worlds' food, they'll also own the worlds' energy production.
More roundup -and other- resistant crops, more pesticides, more newer experimental chemicals, more ground water pollution, more cancer, more agricultural destruction.
