Here's a simple (thought) experiment for you. Go outside (or use any single fixture) and hold a mirror right in between the light source and a coin. Now try to shine/aim a beam of light at the coin at from your mirror. What is your conclusion?
Now do the same, but allow the mirror to move a little slightly. Now compare the strength of this beam of light one if the target was between the mirror and the light source, but off to the side a little.
From this (thought) experiment we have come to the conclusion that the maximum brightness of the beam of light is when the target is between the mirror and the source of light (assuming the target doesn't cast a shadow on the mirror), anywhere else and there would be a decrease in the brightness of the light from the mirror.
To address your "concern" about the profitability of this product, this is a very obvious niche market targeted at the wallets of parents in attempts to improve their child's handwriting and spelling between the Christmas/birthday delivery of the newest iPads, iPhones and laptops take over their brains with auto correct.
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I was supposed to research all viable producers of digital pens for you. My mistake, here you go: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=digital+pen . Many of the options here are pens for tablets, but as you can see, there are many actual digital pens being sold here as well. Please do purchase and write at least 250 words review on the various implementations of the techniques to capture your handwriting. Also, create and build a post production prototype of your laughably inelegant glove contraption to monitor user's writing and compare this to the already established non-restrictive methods in capturing user's writing. Personally, I can attest that the accuracy of these devices to be very high.
Which brings us to the fact that the perpetuation of smart devices throughout society today and a laptop in every student's bag has seen the decline in this market from a lack of interest. This doesn't mean the technology has gotten more expensive or harder to manufacture. Just that it would mean that the profit margin and feature sets for each pen would need to be balanced to make this a viable competitor to capture sales from the market. Before you comment on this, please do enlighten us exactly how much each costs in materials and production before any markups or profits.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_penhttp://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/digital-pen I used one of these in my undergrad when it was cheaper and easier for me than lugging a laptop and books around everywhere on my motorcycle. Just because you haven't seen the tech doesn't mean it isn't there. Read the wiki article for various implementations on how they work.
...in this summary at the end there that we are provoked a response for people to discuss. Congrats/. your puppet master wins again. If I were a conspiracy theories nut, I would of thought that/. was in league with the anti-pirating organizations and would dox all the people who are speak up for piracy.
Most people I knew during undergrad tried to get a gig via the college career fair, but mostly no call backs. Internships were even more rare at the career fairs. I did go to get experience and practice talking to the people though.
"not a single Californian on the I-15 had their headlights turned on"
I call BS. There's an effective law which requires everyone to have their lights on whenever it rains. But the 15 *is* socal so when it rains there, no one knows knows what to do. Are you sure it wasn't just a little drizzle? If it was, then you need to get your windshield cleaned and wipers replaced.
When all you want to do is make a few bucks off a few thousand dollar thing, copying the specs to the letter isn't your top priority. The fakes usually only care about getting the logo in.
Because of the design of the bag. All they have to do is look through their entire catalog of bags they have made in the past, see that it doesn't match any designs and viola. If you have access to the actual specs, it's pretty trivial to go through and filter the search by size, color and design. Similar thing happened to some A-lister, and VL sent her a real bag to replace her fake one, I don't remember who that was. And a quick google news search for "louis vuitton" back to 2007 came up empty.
For the record, they spotted the bag in the Hangover 2 movie.
It has been my personal experience that using mac os x as a print server makes print jobs CONSIDERABLY slower. However, it was one of the first versions of the server package, and might have improved since then. Also might of just been because of the drivers and the older HP printer we had.
NO ONE is indispensable. It'll take time to learn and retrain etc... but you would be required to pass the keys (the logins for everything) when you leave.
Farsi is the official language of Iran, and this is made in Iran, so where's the problem? It's like saying "...named Mao (Mandarin for cat)" which is also Cantonese, and then saying "it's called Chinese. You don't go around saying 'in Mandarin it's called...' do you?". The Chinese examples are simplified ignoring tone, yes I speak Cantonese.
Persian is an ethnicity. Just like you'd have Mandarin which is the language of China, but are Asian. Speaking as a person who's had roommates who are Persian who migrated from Iran and are citizens of the United States. They say they speak Farsi and choose not to identify themselves as Iranians, but as Persians. They do not identify themselves as Iranians speaking Persian. Point I'm making: made in Iran, use Iran's locales.
Someone's beat you to this idea... Fatburger. http://www.fatburger.com/home/Default.aspx Too bad you can't smoke inside in California, but some places have a patio and may be able to smoke there.
I can tell you with Mac OS X Server 10.3 (the actual 10.3 server edition) and 10.4 client, the spotlight would be going through the files on the network drive themselves and thus would be SLOW. Which is why I would ssh or vnc into the server and manually initiate a search. I have no idea if it still searches slow with 10.4 or 10.5 server.
LOL... In my opinion, as a fairly aggressive rider, it is normally safer between two cars than anything. This is because they have to be aware there's another car right beside them if they never spotted you at all. This is why I speed way up to pass when most cars are side by side together.
Well, to get around the problem you're suggesting, all they would need to do is to use the "generalized key" that is out there for the whole public, run it through a key generator scheme like the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol and you've got a brand new key that uses a public and private key to be secure. I didn't read the article, so I've no idea how Vanish addresses this problem, but it is a very easy one to solve. Anyone in cryptography knows about the Diffie-Hellman algorithm and how well it works against Eve, however if Oscar were involved, that's another story. (Eve just listens, Oscar intercepts and modifies the packets).
You wouldn't want to use RSA if you were truly serious about being secure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_cryptography is much much better, however there has been research that states that you can use ElGamal with ECC to make a homomorphic encryption algorithm. But all that says is that if you want to, it still won't make other means ECC with different means to be homomorphic by nature (or any real way to force them to be homomorphic). Then again, i could be wrong because it has been a while since I've even looked at encryption.
Umm... Math. What's the probability you are going to find a woman? Anyways, one of the pioneers in encryption, Alan Turing, was a complete 'mo. Thus not completely surprising if you were right.
Am I correct in assuming that you are talking about trying to run an identity function through the encrypted data set and thus outputting the original data? I find this to be a moot point because I'd assume that the person doing this would not be smart enough to figure out the identity function, and if it is trivial, then a filter can be programmed in to disallow the use of it.
Also, I'd hope that the individual that is working with the information is cleared and trusted by the organization to access the raw data anyways. And how are we doing this now anyways? We have individuals who manually analyze the data and produce output, so it is kinda a like saying, "I've just invented a new foolproof/crash proof car, but you can only drive it if you get a new driver's license." You don't need to re-trust the current people who are working with the data since they are already working with it raw. It isn't like they'll be giving away the private key to someone to encrypt the function to create the outputs themselves.
As a rider, I dread going over concrete freeways at speed, hurts my manly bits from the thumping it does. the grooves aren't *that* bad to deal with, it's going mostly straight and can just avoid them most of the time.
Wow... Seriously? No way in hell would I want to get in and out of a car if "things are that bad". If I am in a pretty bad condition, just sitting in a car might make the injury worse. And you'll be moving, how are you going to coordinate with the ambulance where you are and will be? Yes, alot of ambulances are stationed at a hospital, but quite a few are just out there randomly at one location or another, so you may think one is far, but he might just be at the starbucks down the street waiting for a call.
