I'm on top of my grades in a joint computer/biomedical engineering major (graduate in 2 months), presented a paper of mine at an IEEE conference during my undergrad (which is pretty impressive for someone who's only been out of high school for a few years), yet I ran the mixed martial arts/UFC club at my university, for 3 years, was heavily involved in dance clubs, soccer, karate, and still spar on a weekly basis to this day. Top it off with being triligual. The notion of being simultaneously athletic, educated, intelligent, and cultured, seems (to my disappointment) to many, non-existent or impossible to achieve. A shame.
Hmmm, to my knowledge this is available strictly in the US of A. International customers should care because............. Include some means of using a proxy without modding the damned console and we're talking.
People have been creating plugins for $10 a pop to do this for nearly a decade now. How about instead of opening a broken format, they open up some Exchange connectivity so that we can use a proper mail client (ie: NOT Outlook) with Exchange? TBird comes to mind. I know that there are workarounds, but why should one mail server be married to one mail client?
Hmmm, false dichotomy, good times. Since "candy" is street slang for smack in some parts, it really doesn't surprise me that being fed it since age 5 leads to psychotic behavior.
Anyone who falls for these scams really, really, shouldn't be using a computer for online banking. Heck, on one occasion I'm almost certain I got a fake call from the bank as well, considering the bizarre questions that were being asked to "verify my identity" prior to offering me some insurance package. Fortunately, being Link of Hyrule didn't seem to stop my interviewer from proceeding to sign me up for some awesome house insurance. Wonder how he got my alias on file...
I'm wondering if anyone else has considered this: A legal agency let's this thing get installed on an isolated PC. They then pay for this trojan (ie: the extortionist fee for temporarily disabling the fake antivirus for a year), and, making good use of the powers they have, simply have the bank account receiving these funds or credit card payments frozen, the owner jailed, etc etc. Even if it's an off-shore account, surely the US could apply some pressure or invade.
What relevance does this have to anything? So two people have different hypotheses on how the application of a theory may prove or disprove "design" (I'm assuming you're referring to "intelligent design"). Religion was never addressed in the original topic, no need for it here. One pitiful, poorly-chosen example does not justify dismissing science altogether, as you just have. That's about as mature as dismissing the entire field of biology because there are multiple arguing factions debating whether or not a low-carb diet is healthy. Furthermore, nobody cares. Is godd some sort of underlying principle that is taught in the classroom as a fundamental law, like thermodynamics or chemistry? (Hopefully not).
Finally, the fact that "god" can neither be proved or disproved, now or ever (thus, a useless theory) is not something that is testable, repeatable, and based on solid principles, so again, why bother bringing it up here? (MOD-1, flamebait)

As a kid I usually only got in 7 per night, since I was usually up at 5 to watch early morning cartoons, plus it was the only time the Megaman and Darkstalkers cartoons played. Ever since starting university, I'm fine on 4-5 hours per night for months on end. The only thing that hampers that is, of course, hangovers.:)
You have a few routes, but, be prepared:
1) NDA - allows for consultation, etc, while disallowing your consultants to leak info
-Flaws: could be expensive, as you'll likely need a lawer to draw it all out; The external parties must agree to it (obviously); Nothing's really there to stop people from violating it; If people break the NDA, what are the terms involving breach of contract? Lawsuit? Damages?
2) Build your genius invention, apply for patent protection, and enjoy 20 years of income for your device gradually erode as knockoffs and patent violators line up
As with one of the above posters, build it, and let the world judge if it really is genius. I've made a few small-time inventions that have pulled in a few grand for me which I though were pretty clever, but to declare one's own self as "genius" is nothing short of arrogant, even if it's worded politely. Take it from a biomedical engineer who's done some pretty nifty independent projects, if you are posting to/. for advice on this, it's not genius, probably just high-risk/high-gain. Keep rolling those dice. In the meantime, if anyone wants to earn the title of "genius", try solving on of Hilbert's problems:

Well, our lead engineer immediately shot down our CEO's plan for free engery, and mysteriously wound up dead the next day.
So, we took his body, wrapped it in coil, and replaced his tombstone with a large magnet.
With our CEO's business practises continuing, it should make our former lead engineer roll in his grave, and produce free energy:)
^I second.
Same here. 6 years to do electrical and biomedical engineering joint major. Had to do 4 coops/internships to pay the bills, plus rent, tuition, transportation, food, books, you name it, all while writing conference papers and doing side work to boost the resume.
To everyone out there that thinks that university is for a bunch of elitists that know nothing of the real world, between my coops and the business I ran on my own *while attending university*, you're just trying to justify why you're always at the bottom of the callback list for job interviews. The fact of that matter is, for those of us graduating with a REAL degree, we have the hands-on and theory aspects to the job, and will always come out on top.
For those of you don't like the fact that others get ahead of you "because of some damn useless degree", try busting you butt for over half a decade on 20 hours of sleep a week and total stress around the clock for your engineering/science/math degree, rather than doing a 2 year environmental studies diploma "program" while baked and tanked out of your mind.
Sadly, the masses constitute a tribe known as, idiots:
IDIOT, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
The materials needed to become a biomedical engineer are all available online in cheap ebook form as it is. Now just go buy some power supplies, oscilloscopes, electron microscopes, fumehoods, chem labs, and study solo for 10 years, and you're all set.
Yeah, I seriously doubt that the hands-on part of a formal education is going to be done in mom's basement. In the case of my degrees (engineering, electrical + biomedical) they had a LOT of hands-on work which were essential to understanding the concepts.
Also, in the case of engineering degrees, at least in Canada, you have to complete capstone projects at an accredited institution to be allowed to call yourself an engineer and apply for P.Eng status, which takes another 4 years. Would you really be comfortable with a mom's basement degree graduate desiging your bridges, building your IT infrastructure, or creating an MRI machine to scan for tumors? Not likely.
So basically, you need an electrical and/or computer engineer at the very minimum so that the device can even be built. I've done this kind of work before, and it never gets old when someone is stunned that the price tag is in the thousands rather than $300 or so.
There is a rather misguided notion that PCB design, component selection, PIC programming, failsafe testing, etc, is the same as photoshopping a zit out of a picture at the London Drugs photo booth. To get this kind of work done, you're going to be paying for people who've spent something like a minimum of 5 years in university, 5 years in industry, and something like $150 000 to pay for all the training to boot.
I remember as one of my "artsy" electives when studying biomedical engineering, I took the one psychology course that all psych students felt didn't qualify as a true "psych" course, "Critical Thinking". Basically, it covered the argument above, but even went into scenarios such as stars, being VEEEERY far away from earth, requiring more than thousands of years for the light they produce to reach the earth, being visible from the earth). I think the religious counter-argument was that god put each and every photon in place, at the same time he created that star.
Ignorance knows no bounds.

Yep, MATLAB! Why declare AND define variables when you can simply create a new variable for each and EVERY typo? lol
But WILL IT BLEND?
I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
