oh that is such a fraudlent scheme to make a quick profit. It's one thing to realize some small company on the other side of the country is using a rare technology that you invented and patented but it's another to live in the US, have studied and made breakthroughs in the technology, and then not know for years that cell phones used blinking lights for bluetooth. You'd have to have never watched TV, never seen anyone use a cell phone for that, never own a cell phone yourself, never go to a place where the sell cell phones, and never used a lot of the internet. So as soon as being in a coma and desert islands are ruled out, the person ignored it on purpose until now.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS?! They wait until the company is huge and has tons of money THEN sue them because they can make the most money off it, aka scamming. DUH, dozens of people have tried to get away with that. Remember Ebay's buy it now option? Oh yeah, I'm sure they just realized Ebay was using it like 4 years later. More like they waited and waited saying "they're not quite rich enough yet" then sued them. It's only a matter of time before someone jumps up and says "Hey, I patented a technique for waiting until an infringing company is rich then suing them" and gets all the scammers' money.
I helped design a setup that has an insane security system that's unheard of. It's trap based, as it everything I do. For instance, there's a keyboard sitting on top the desk and a keyboard and if any key is pressed on it, an alarm goes off. The real keyboard is on a pullout tray beneath that and all employees allowed to use the system are told that. If anyone sits down and doesn't know that, they don't get to use the computer. Simple yet effective. There's also some other absolutely 100% hacker proof crazy things in the setup that haven't been used anywhere else before because I invented them but I obviously can't reveal exactly how they work because that's part of why they work. But trust me, it's probably the most secure setup in the world and any hacker or person that broke in intending to do any sort of digital harm would end up confused and arrested no matter how skilled they were.

I think there should be a certain time limit set on patent infringement cases called "the dumbass period" where after that time has passed, you're a complete dumbass for just realizing the patent infringement then and your case is automatically thrown out. Unless he was stuck in a desert island for the last couple years and just got rescued, he or the group or whatever should stop this pathetic attempt at scamming some money from companies.
most people (me included) can hear the annoying high pitched hum of most flourescent lights plus the UV light that's excessively emitted makes people's skin look uglier. I prefer computer monitor light:) And for rooms without computers, there's just no beating LED lights. They take WAAAAAAAY less power and are just plain cooler. But I suppose Walmart isn't cool or wise enough to know that.
did they even test the cameras in real world circumstance?! Geeze, you'd think they'd see it and be like "wow, that's useless in court." Probably just there as a scare tactic or something and they just went with the cheapest technology they could find from Bubba's Ghetto CCD Chip and Burger Outlet. They'd be better off with remote control taser/beanbag guns with scopes and remote aimers and paid watchers assisted by aggressive tone detectors. Or give everyone an emergency button to press:-) Or the lady could have just carried some sort of mace, taser, or knife (dunno if they're legal there). I would at night if I wasn't this strong and a guy. Anyway, britain's totally small so it only takes a couple people bitching about em before they improve em so get picketing!
a prime example of a "UFO" on the news we owned

My dad used to work at a radio station and one night someone came and cut a biiiig like 20 foot balloon thingy with their logo on it that they got for a special event. It was really thick like a blimp so it was definitely floating for a while. And a couple days later it was spotted many hundreds of miles away and filmed and was being shown on the news as "the best footage of a UFO recorded recently" Of course, the tiny, blurry red in one frame made it pretty obvious that it was our logo on our balloon, especially consider how it was downwind of us and would have traveled about that far in about that time. They even had experts come on and say what they thought. What a joke! It just makes a good story and they can bring in whoever they want and call it whatever they want but this is a great example of why not to listen to it.
P.S. we never called the news people and told them because we knew they'd refuse to look stupid by retracting all the UFO stuff they said about it
what you should really watch for, at the same time even, are robot or other AI rebellions and alien invasions (and asteroids I suppose too but that's not technology but yes aliens are cuz it's...alien technology lol) Your homework for 2007 is to go watch the movie Signs and i Robot back to back, alright?
Disruptive technologies to watch for, huh? I'm surprised they didn't mention even more advanced british cameras watching their citizens. People better watch for em cuz they'll sure be watching for people. With the latest loudspeaker and aggressive tone upgrades in 06, I bet some "disruptive" stuff is on the way this year. I'd bet any buck Britian will lead the way in AI camera technology in no time in the next year.
I heard those discs can hold about 50GB so back them up all you want, you sure can't save more than a very few images. I'm not a big fan of disc to disc backups cuz the point is to back it up to a medium that isn't easily destroyed or scratched so maybe the best DRM is making the movie too big to save. Combine that with super-protection against players playing burned discs (or don't make a 'civilian' burner for the disc format at all) and movie pirating is over.
awwwww my game didn't make it. It's called click the button! You mouseover the button and it moves around randomly but it is possible to click it lol. Sounds stupid but everyone that's played it hasn't been able to pull themselves away hehehe. Btw that Halo RTS game would have owned if it hadn't been shut down GRRRRRR!!!!!!!
okay 1, don't let just anyone read your source code! It's not that hard! And 2, use ascii value tests cuz they don't stand out as much. This also protects DLLs from ASCII ripping programs. Like instead of testing a stored password of fish, you'd test for the ascii values....iunno, I'm too lazy to look em up but like 131,97,28,43 or whatever the letters translate to. If you split the test up into multiple subs that helps even more, ESPECIALLY if you put in fake comments and a fake name on the sub like "load program" when it really tests the password with comments that say it tests for keystrokes while the program loads. That would throw someone way, way, way off.
I think these are the most likely to happen:
Finalcut Pro will come out with a Windows version and Apple will lose a ton of the market share until...
Apple makes themselves compatible with AMD processors too and increases their market share until...
China demands repayment for all the invested/borrowed money we owe them and we try to pay it off by sueing thousands of Chinese companies for making inadaquite, bad quality products and they start world war 3 over it and we all nuke each other and have to live in caves and the Apple market share dips a little until they put in solar panels outside the caves for power so ppl can run their Macs again:P
I'll give 10:1 if that doesn't all happen! Any takers?
you must have missed that CNN report a couple months ago where they said over 1000 cows died from the heat and they were running out of places to put the dead bodies and there was a massive dairy shortage and the governer declared a state of emergency...yeaaaaaaah, hard to miss but I guess if you're not from Wisconsin, it might have slipped past ya lol.
I think they mean at a pressure of one atmosphere, or however they rate a gas' "normal" density but good catch lol. Oh and they forgot one: Happy cows don't really come from California as the commercial states, overheated, dead cows come from California. Good thing we learned that last summer though so they can stop running that stupid ad (I'm from Wisconsin by the way)
Well then I guess I'll have to use another fancy and accidentally DRM breaking technology called optical out to hook up to my top quality optical input video capture card (that I don't actually have but wish I did lol) If you get both the sound and video in digital format being sent through optical cable and being re-received in through a really good quality card, you barely lose anything cuz if I understand optical correctly, it sends totally uncompressed video that's basically pixel 1x1 is color 34A6D3, etc so all you have to worry about is capturing it fast enough and encoding it well after it's captured in an uncompressed format. Yaaaaay digital! Seriously, how could the DRM people not realize that sending any signal digitally out of a player means it's uncompressed. They better not start encrypting it and having the TV decrypt it.
lol I've been to over 300 DJ jobs and heard hundreds of thousands of songs played in multiple environments with multiple technologies so I know what good sound sounds like too. The loss of quality from going down a path on the circuitboard of the soundcard between the output and input processors is the same as the loss in quality when going through a circuit on the soundcard to the speaker output, and that's not even considering the cord that goes to the speaker. And since top quality music sounds fine coming out my speakers, then logically you aren't going to hear the loss in quality when you re-record it internally because it's usually less than half of a quality loss that you'd get from just playing the music out your speakers in the first place. And like the nice person who replied said, "Good thing my ears aren't an oscilloscope, otherwise I might actually be able to hear a difference!" And I didn't even mention doing it in full digital with the digital outputs and inputs, which loses even less quality!
This was just the beginning, like an earthquake and the tsunami is still on its way. I feel sorry for the people at retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City who work the customer service area in a few weeks cuz about half those iPods are going to break:P How did such a fragile, unstable player get so popular?! And in case you think I'm exagerating or just hatin, I know some people who work at those places and they said last Christmas was hell on earth with about a third of the overall problems people had being related to broken iPods. Apple should stop worrying about their inadaquite servers and worry about those people who are going after Nintendo for breaking Wiimote straps cuz the iPod sure has enough problems to get sued over.
eventually a software program has to convert whatever garbled crap they put on any disc to a valid video and audio stream so it's always only a matter of time before someone writes a player that (sort of) dumps the buffer of what goes onto the screen and to the sound card into a file.
lmao! oh I forgot, some people get easily confused by long sentences no matter how grammatically correct they are. Oops, was that one too long for you? OH NO! And as for the asshat above this post, IT'S ALL INTERNAL. It's the same type of circuit from the sound processing unit to the speakers as it is from the output to the input. It's a full quality internal circuit! I'm not talking about putting a crossover cable outside the computer, I SAID INTERNAL. My dad's a DJ and I've re-recorded some songs this way to cut off blank endings or whatever and they sound perfect even in a side by side quality comparison test at super loud volumes and trust me, I'M PICKY! I've worked with music through that and other things for longer than you've been bitching at people online needlessly. Why the hell do people like you losers even post pretending they know what they are talking about? You're not fooling anyone!
Did you know that no DRM technology in existence can stop me from re-recording something to a DRM-less file by looping the Stereo Mixer back through the input internally on my sound card and re-recording it in realtime with full quality and so can like 95% of the computers out there with like 3 clicks of the mouse. But here's the kicker: a lot of newer Intel boards have disabled that ability because people are using it to un-DRM files and record stuff from streaming online radio stations. And guess what new processor Apple can run on? Yup, and I don't think they'll resist disabling that technique on their boards too. So, will Apple follow Microsoft's lead and implement a DRM loving policy? The correct answer is who cares because ILuvRamen has an AMD Windows system, lol.
end result of a chain reaction set in motion by a single driver who was in too much of a hurry
ummmmm from my experience, it's actually someone in too much of a not-hurry...and they're usually old...and thus driving a Buick. One single person miles up can and does slow down an entire lane or two on the highway by me and when I finally pass them it's either some Illinois driver with their head up their ass and pinned to a cell phone or an old person who didn't get the memo 10 years ago that it changed from 55 to 65.
considering the last laptop I tried to help set up did not have a valid driver in existence for its built in wireless receiver, I feel sorry for anyone trying to get an even less common one. Driver writing is just a whole bucket of fun too with most companies' cards, lol.
Visitors to Google's sites rose 9.1 percent to 475.7 million in November
even if they meant unique visitors, that's REALLY low. If half of americans vistited google once in november and we're not nearly the most connected country, it'd only take about double that number in addition to come up with that. With like 6.5 billion other people in the world (something like that), I think they could come up with more than just an additional 300 million, geeze. It's probably more like close to 3/4 billion unique visitors.
I hope they ran all kinds of multi-phasic scans to check for invisible aliens cuz we don't want them sneaking back to earth on them.......what?!....well what are you thinking of between Stargate Seasons?
