It'll take a lot of research and effort to figure out how to make a better LED with only (up to) $20m in rewards. umm... I think they retain their IP, so the market would also help compensate.
maybe you should shop for a MAC over the weekend Riiighhtt... Because you can't just boot into single user mode and do any damn thing you want to a Mac(default configuration at least).
This requires a Linux live CD and physical access. OSX requires only physical access.
I therefore conclude that it has one of two undocumented features: either there is a ultra-high speed gyro concealed behind the wearer ( which I regard as very unlikely ), or the frame bends so as to lean the rider forward thus lengthening the wheelbase and moving the center of gravity forward. I wonder what the two linear actuators are for.
So, it's OK to download a file illegally, but not to have other download it from you illegally? legally, pretty much. You'll note, the *AA hasn't actually sued anyone for downloading stuff. They only sue for making stuff available for download.
Skeptoid did a podcast about them a little while back. It's not bad depending on your tolerance for hubris and pretension. It makes a good case for the whole thing being hogwash.
Probably not RFID. I haven't seen much of anything that offers a signal strength measurement with enough granularity. In addition, signal strength is dependent on what direction the antenna(on the tag) is facing.
I don't know of anything out there commercially available with a precise enough clock to manage it time based.
You can get up to about 10 feet with certain UHF tags and receivers, but that is really pushing FCC limitation on signal power. RFID tags really just aren't locators, regardless of how much we want them to be.
Russia has closed its gulags and the US has opened its own... They didn't close. They were privatized and sold off to mobsters, like the rest of their economy.
The grass really isn't all that green over there either.
I believe you may have that backwards. I run andLinux, cause it is useful for certain stuff and I can't just run linux, and it is KDE. There is another xcf or something version.
KDE in windows is going to be the better bet down the road for a lot of stuff, because you have to leap through fewer hoops with the filesystem, at least as far as most applications are concerned.
It's kinda amazing being able to get an awful lot of stuff just running apt-get from a terminal, while inside XP. A real VM is far secure of course. Security decent hardware firewalls and no small amount of obscurity doesn't bother me too horible.
More seriously, the majority of desalination plants are found in areas that are not known for their ecological sensitivities. (They are more known for totalitarian governments that supreess dissidents rather harshly) The aussies have been getting into it pretty heavily, haven't they? They tend to care about ecology and such. Methods may be somewhat different than those used in the middle east, but should be good for some numbers about how/if it can be done responsibly.
I'm not so much thinking about mass electrolysis as great idea, as noting that Spain is currently importing shipments of drinking water, and water shortages(many of which could be mitigated by conservation) and droughts are starting to look like a common problem.
1> Salt water is only mostly water. Where are you going to dump all the waste (something like 25Kg of salt per 1000 liters) I'd assume unless the was an economically viable alternative(a massive increase in demand for sea salt) it would just get dumped back into the ocean.
Isn't this what is done with desalinization plants? I haven't heard ecological horror stories about the ravages of increased local salinity, and there are some pretty large operations out there.
Meh, there is a massive amount of after market support for Volkswagens, and I can use the same one for decades and only change out that bits that need it. I can do what I want to it, and Volkswagen doesn't do too much to prevent that.
You're totally right. Because there is no way to pole the configuration of an FPGA, it is impossible to generate a hash from it's configuration--which could easily be used to create a secure hash that ensures it only works when the FPGA is set up properly.
If you don't have site security, and people are going to have access to stuff in the field, they can break your hardware regardless of what it is. With FPGAs there just no way of telling if they reprogrammed it rather than breaking it.
Wouldn't this be a bit of a burden on not for profit open source projects?
$100 isn't really a lot of money, but how would it apply to different versions of a give application? How would it apply to different modules of a program?
There are all sorts of amateur artists who deserve to have the creations protected but could not afford to protect each individual work.
But they still expend more effort on a owerty keyboard than on a dvorak one -- simply put, their fingers travel farther. They have fewer typos with the word Qwerty though.
Translation for a fellow non-American living in first world nations:
the Republicans are generally right of center and Dems are generally left of the Republicans, but still right of center We're pretty progressive compared to the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa(excluding South Africa on social issues like Gay Rights).
There is pretty much no browser support for it, but it is part of the standard, and when SVG was new and shiny it looked like a real possibility. Because of the XML format, it looked very promising for dynamic content.
It seems as if those proprietary products would be mainly used by enterprises to administer Ubuntu desktops. There is an awful lot of enterprise money for software licensees and services. The wider the adoption of Ubuntu, the more money they can make, without Ubuntu directly generating revenue.
"This puts another nail in the coffin for using SVG with scripting in web pages, as a real alternative to Flash or Silverlight."
Dead is an exaggeration, but the chance of it living up to the potential a lot of people saw in it are rapidly approaching 0.
You're right, it has a lot of utility for UI design and such, but as an actual document format seen by end users, it seems doomed(outside of very limited adoption in, say, FLOSS only Pre-Press work).

Dumb question:
Can linux mount a bitlockered/encrypted partition? with or without a password?
This requires a Linux live CD and physical access. OSX requires only physical access.
Ask Richard Pryor.

Yeah seriously. I don't need privacy. I don't have anything to hide. I'm a healthy, white, male, heterosexual, non-terrorist, US citizen.
People that worry about privacy are either stupid or hiding something.
iRex isn't slightly cheaper than anything, and does not have anything helpful in large friendly letters on it's cover.
If I had opted for the n800, rather than the n810, I'd have both those things resolved.

post is regarding passive tags, active tags do have more range for obvious reasons.
The reply above mine looks like it would have serious issues with mm resolution, but I could be mistaken.

You're confusing sex and gender.
Worker ants don't reproduce or exhibit female behavior, so they are genderless(they don't gender identify).
Gender is independent of plumbing in a lot of circles these days.
