On the contrary. I believe most would find the ring tone to be most annoying.
As I regularly deal with theatrical performances of all different natures I see the dismay that people have for the damn things-- Even different amounts of annoyance with different ringtones. The more bubbly and in-your-face, the more people become agitated if the phone isn't shut-up immediately.
Much as the others have commented, digital won't help you (and I havn't even seen anything like that)
But, for reference, 600-800$ is not a very expensive wireless mic:-) It's on the high end of the consumer range.
The wireless kits I use frequently are roughly in the $2500 range for the transmitter pack and receiver.
If you're stuck on wireless though, give FullCompass a call (www.fullcompass.com) They stock the higher end professional mics (Shure, AT, Senheiser) and might be able to help you with your problem.
Wired is the best way to go though. (try an area mic? And get some good Whirlwind shielded cable)
Now, we all know that the Itanium isn't everything it's cracked up to be, and I think none of us at are wrong in blaming intel for coming out with a lousy product....
But, isn't one of those situations he mentions in the interview (namely, running a large database server) what this chip is designed to be doing?
As I recall, the IA64 isn't designed for the desktop user... In fact, desktop users probably don't even need 64 processing for a number of years still....
Yet we're attacking Intel for making the chip to fit it's niche?
Perhaps we need to be more fair in the context of the usefulness of the chip, instead of considering it in all contexts and criticizing it based on that?
Failing to understand how exactly the ownership of this public server is setup, I'm wondering if the owning body will be suing over the breach of contract? Or will something along the lines of the EFF be taking up the battle?
I can't think of any reasonable circumstances prior to this that I've heard of a host cutting your connection just because of one incident without talking first...
OK, all of us here are going to die from blood clots while our arms are aching from carpal tunnel syndrome...
What I'd really like to see is some general data on roughly how many hours (per day or per week) people are spending in front of a computer to get symptoms like these, and after how many years.
Is it because it's 'too random to judge accurately' or something like that? Or have they (meaning 'people smarter than myself') just not narrowed it down yet?
There are us few engineers that have access to (or own our own) equipment and give our time for free to promising groups...
That said, I'm currently finishing up recording for a great group.... it'll bring they're total costs to about $1/cd, we figure... as they're estimating an initial purchase of 1000 CDs, professionally packaged and everything.
Now, what makes me curious is the fact that I've stood next to a Sirius (which claims also to broadcast from satellites) transmitter atop a building downtown... In fact, I've been worried going nearby their "Warning: High Energy Radio Radation" signs while working on the transmitter I'm responsible for.
So, as I'm pretty sure there is no broadcast studio in my city, what purpose are these transmitters serving for a satellite-based broadcast company?
University of Rochester appears to be using it for their starting language (Rochester, NY)
I think it's a great place to start- the results are a lot easier to see then with C++,and it's a little simpler.
It's just a friendlier language.
I see data decay becoming a problem for people out there who buy a new computer every.......10 years or so. As for the rest of us in the world, all we have to worry about is MS blue screens and hd crashes (both of which appear to like my computer...);)

Good luck.

Personally I find CDRWs annoying and USB solid state storage devices expensive.
So what do I do?
I use my network connection.
There's an awful lot of people nowadays that have broadband connections, and those connections constitute a lovely way to move files back and forth.
Since I've come to school (2 years ago, now) I don't believe I've used a single floppy.
I, for one, will not miss the Floppy Disk in future computers at all.

Ah, but do not many modern portable MP3 players utilize hard drives? (up to 20 or 40 gigs even, I believe)
Is the IBM MicroDrive still around?
That would seem to be a great way to fit a lot of data in a small place on one of these things....
Never understood why the microdrive didn't completely take over PDAs and recording devices of different varieties...

I think that's a pretty good deal =)
So, to what degree are these things programmable?
I mean, Is it possible to change the ID that it emits? or just some other random data that it can be programmed to tell you?
It sure could be interesting to build a little reprogrammer that plugs into your Palm Pilot, then go around repogramming peoples' tires =)
haha, good.
Now I can know that, while I'm dying of cancer, everybody below me in the city can receive their digital radio without a problem.
