I reckon this would work very well. It should also work for cleaning up audio tape recordings.
Two things to consider though:
1. You'll need to synchronise the two (or more).wav files before you try and merge them. This should be quite easy since you can just slide one set of samples past the other until you get a peak in the correlation.
2. You'll need to keep the two.wav files locked to each other as you process the thing. This is because the two recordings you make are very unlikely to be exactly the same speed. A few samples (~ hundreds of microseconds) off and the thing would be knackered. You would need to perform short range correlation on the section of audio you are processing and then skip or insert samples to keep the things in sync. Not easy but doable.
but you could read the source code, understand it (theoretically), and then re-write it as your own source code, so long as you didn't copy any of the original source.
Hey! I used to do this when I was a kid too. I had a luvvly 24V AC power supply that would fry them a treat.
EPROMS were the best because you can see the die light up through the window, and small tantalum capacitors are very good also. Got to watch out for the small glob of molten 'stuff' that comes out though! Pooohey, what a smell!
What on earth does the choice of CPU have to do with real-time performance? Surely it's the operating system that determines the response time of a system?
Heck, if you had the source code to a woman, there would be contradictory comments in it, redundant code (map reading functions), bugs in the modem (sorry, phone) handling functions causing excessive use of this resource, etc, etc.
People keep on about superconducting magnets. As I remember it, a superconductor tries to exclude all magnetic fields from it's interior, hence they levitate above a magnet. They cannot be a magnet themselves.
How about hoax virus warnings that come in plain-text emails? People don't get the point with these. They say "ignore it, it's a hoax", not realising that the message itself is the virus, it just 'executes' inside your brain rather than on the CPU. (i.e. you blindly forward it on to all your friends, allowing the virus to reproduce).
Actually, maybe linux users are wise enough not to fall for this.
A compiler can't optimise a code 'path' that crosses from one object file to another (e.g. a call to a function in a different object file).
Even if you wrote optimisation code into your linker (which does see all the object files at once), it still couldn't optimise the way dynamo does, because any particular function can be called from many different places in the code.
I did some work on an ICO handset in my previous job. The antenna on these things is 12mm diameter by about 10cm long. Nice! Oh, and the handset will use about 20 watts of power. Just see how long those batteries last.
Betcha that ICO will suffer the same fate as Iridium. Just too darn expensive for the minuscule number of people who need it.
A gui on a server? What use is that if you have to sit in front of the damn machine to use it? It kinda makes the whole idea of a network useless for administration purposes. A CLI will always be far more flexible than any GUI. Give me xterms any day. Jeez! NT doesn't even come with a telnet server. Jeff

Yeah, maybe true, but he was referring to the see through perspex case mentioned earlier
Terms such as gas, solid, liquid and plasma relate to the arrangement of atoms and molecules. In this new state, atoms, or even protons and neutrons don't even exist. They are broken down into their constituent parts, i.e. quarks and gluons. Jeff
Assume that 0 is a number. How do you define even? I would say that if a number is divisible by two without leaving a remainder, then it is even. Since 0/2 = 0, I would say that 0 is even.

If your 'normal' users can still get to your web server, then so can the DDOS'ers. Messing with DNS servers, and 'stub' networks is a waste of time.
The only way would be to filter the packets, but identifying them would not be easy.

Just play the fsckers on your PC, and use a cheap TV out card to record them to video.
Why anyone would want to do this is beyond me.

Snip from the article:
The platform's flexible, modular architecture makes it easy to build optical cross connects (OXCs)
Seems that you can build router with these.

big difference.
There is no such operating system called 'FREE Bsd', unless I am very much pisstaken.

Here in the UK, it's about 80p/litre for super unleaded (97 RON). That makes it 0.8*4.54=£3.62 per gallon (UK not US gallon).
Converting to US gallons (div by 1.2) gives:
3 quid per US gallon.
Convert to dollars @ $1.6 / GBP gives
$4.80 per gallon
You think you have it bad
And there I was thinking that the thing used radio waves to communicate with earth.

6 microns across eh? What about 0.18 micron (and upcoming 0.12u) wafer fab technology? What's the big deal?

I always thought WINE just stood for WINdows Emulator. Far too simple...
