I have 2 customers that have 100% open Wifi access points that are secure. Why? you have to be trespassing even with a dish and bi-quad antenna to connect to them. and if you are trespassing, the dogs are eating your butt. Plus we used RF control devices (copper screen) to eliminate signal from going to the direction that would even possibly allow access from outside the estate. (2100 feet is the closest point and still filled with trees, shrubbery that all suck up wifi like sponges)
My home has an Open accesspoint, you have to be inside the house or on the roof to get access. I have aluminum siding and aluminum screens that are grounded. Even my WiSpy pro cant detect the signals from inside the house when I am 5 feet from the front door.
What idiot would use a $1800 laptop in the garage to view a PDF?
Let me guess, you change your oil wearing a cashmere sweater and silk shirts as well.
Nope. I risk my $40.00 fujitsu tablet PC that views pdf's just fine but has not enough Horsepower to do much else. works awesome as a garage PC to read PDF's and read the engine codes with my RS232-ODBII scanner/logger.
This is a private company making launch vehicles and in 2004 was responsible for over 50% of all satellites that were ever put into geostationary orbit (thats way higher than the ISS)
REally... Then why is many of the EU governments FUNDING them and gave them a ton of cash.
It will, just give it time... If you think 10 or so generations is enough to remove the defective lineage. Problem is, the past 100 years have worked hard to make defective offspring that should have died before reproducing and pssing on the defective genes live and reproduce causing a major shift and change to the system. When you get a genetic defective reproducing, you get that change migrating to the next generation instead of dying off.
SR71 replacement, It's called SPY satellites, we can see things from space that the antique SR71 could not do for us in it's heyday. Shuttle Replacement, already designed. a "spaceplane was never practical. It's why the Russians abandoned their shuttle and stuck with what works. What we need is a big heavy reliable lifting platform, not a SCiFi knock off designed to look pretty. We need to get big stuff into space if we will ever make it to mars. the Mars trip vehicle will have to be assembled in orbit.
IIS? yup gonna be de-orbited like Space-lab and we will get another 25+ years without a space station.
Now the military is better funded. the GPS replacement is already being launched. and yes, your GPS constellation will eventually be de-orbited as well...
On the bright side? if you mean at the point NASA was at in the early 60's doing only suborbital flights, then yes you are right.
Call me when Virgin get's something orbiting in a stable orbit. Or better yet, can launch and get close enough to the ISS to let tourists take photos with point and shoot cameras. THEN it's practical.
ESA, USSR, NASA, and even china are nearly 50 years ahead of commercial spaceflight.
Yup because my father and grandfather did not build the education system I went through. I actually am in a trade that nither of them had existing when they were alive.
In fact 98% of all people are not "legacy" children and are sucking the teat of old money. Most of us only have a single trinket, if we are lucky, left over from our forefathers....
not really. I have several thousand PDF files I'd kill to carry around. 300 from the Crestron library on their own. I dont want to read some silly escapism story, I want a functional display to view important Docs and texts. If I could find a good one that actually did really good PDF rendering and had upgradeable storage (The sony reader FAILS with it's paltry non upgradeable storage) and I dont want to pay for a 3G connection that I will not use.
Give me a non DRM, non crappy eink reader with a 8.5X11 display. I'll be all over it as well as millions of other professionals and students.
sandboxie... Great program, will NOT work on a 64 bit OS.
IT has kept my Daughter's PC free of crap because she refuses to not click on everything and not use Internet explorer... so I sandboxed it. Click on everything, it's all sandboxed.
Nope, It's ballmers Senility kicking in. This is Microsoft 4th reintroduction of the tablet PC. Every one has been an utter failure, and this one will be as well.
If I cant get 10 hours of full performance run time from these things, I.E. On and running at full speed the ENTIRE WORKDAY on a single charge then it's a piece of crap. I have owned every Tablet pc from the Very first Dauphin DTR-1 and they all SUCK for usefulness because of the lack of run time per charge.
If the iSlate is NOT A pc but a giant version of the iPod touch and can deliver 3X the battery life of one then it will start to be a useful device. but it has to have the ability for me to use it as a virtual legal pad. Screw handwriting recognition, that's simply a dog and pony show that never works.
Now give me a camera on the face pointing at me and a software app to do videoconferencing from it.
I dont care who makes it (I prefer non apple so it will at least display and allow markup on the evil Office suite files)
an iPhone costs as much has a 42" plasma. Yes real prices. you cant count the subsidized pricing that AT&T gives out. I bought a 42" Pioneer plasma this xmas for $590.00. That is how much a iPhone costs if you buy it outright.
A new current model Panasonic Blu Ray player does not attempt to encrypt the Component output. and that is 1080i, a resolution that most people can not discern from 1080p at normal viewing distances.
P.S. Analog component video can easily support 1080p, they choose not to simply because they hate consumers.
Um yes you can. If you call up Universal or Other movie studio they will gladly sell you a movie with no DRM. The Film reels have no DRM on them. and in fact that is the ONLY way you can BUY a movie.
100% of what people do when they think they are "buying" a movie is that they are simply paying for a limited viewing license that is revoke-able at any time for any reason.
I honestly want the SEC to make the movie companies stop their false advertising when they say "Buy it today" as it is impossible for most people to actually Buy it.
It ripped fine in my mac using handbrake. also on the PC using anyDVD + Handbrake as well as DVDshrink. (I love handbrake, it's the best ripper on the planet!)
And you just proved that Piracy is NOT hurting the music industry. If it was (Zero cost product) then NOBODY would be buying music and they would be forced to drop prices to compete.
They dont, they raise prices. Therefore Piracy does not affect the music industry in any way but Increase sales by increasing demand.

I got a lot of 3 a year ago and they averaged to $40.00 each. So Sorry you are unable to find the deals I am able to on ebay.
But then I typically find most of my items to buy on ebay at far FAR less than the "average" sale price.

control your RF and you will be more secure.
www.ebay.com.... I got a Used stylistic 3500.
Are you one of those wierd people that must have everything new?

Simply set up a rig with 2 digital cameras and a plexiglass V to photograph 2 pages at a time. It's quite fast and cheap.

Works great. I built one to turn a couple of rare automotive books into PDF so I dont damage a $180.00 book in the garage.

They are not private.
It depends there were a Lot of people named John in the past 50,000 years. Also many of them could write.
That book of John could be his diary, a recipe list, or simply his personal shitlist.
Finally if I can read the title on the scroll, I'd be wary. Very few scrolls in caves are written in English.
It will, just give it time... If you think 10 or so generations is enough to remove the defective lineage.

What does Penn and Teller have to do with this?
Is Teller God? Should I worship him?

Yup, WAYYYY off the rails... she turns 18 this week. Sadly she is very much like her mother.

It wont, it will run Embedded XP or worse Embedded Vista. IT's not really a reduced instruction set. It's just not a full flavor OS install.

I though the Catholic church was king of buying your way to heaven.....
Want a papal blessing? only a few gold pieces.......

So a TV is as cheap as a throwaway cellphone.
Only because apple does not want to add it. Nokia phones have had FM radio WITH RDS forever.
Honestly, just because the iPhone does not have it does not mean that others dont have it, or have had it a long time already.

Get an apple TV. More available and far more ready to "rent"
It's a perfect companion to a netflix box. You get more new releases and in HD.
It ripped fine in my mac using handbrake. also on the PC using anyDVD + Handbrake as well as DVDshrink.
(I love handbrake, it's the best ripper on the planet!)
No problems what so ever.
