There is a problem with that ADC delay idea... You need a memory element in order to make a delay and there is a lot of data comming into it. Unless they got enough room in that monitor for buffering up entire frames or they are dropping frames it couldn't be much of a delay...
If you look at the total costs of SpaceShip One until now its not really low... And I suspect that they are counting on Virgin to come back and order increasingly more and larger spaceships.

Teletext over SCART is not a problem at all since the data is encoded in a few lines of the PAL signal. For teletext there is no difference from RF. The problem is that the digital decoders need to have a data feed to insert into these lines.
binary BCD HEX 0000 0 0 0001 1 1 0010 2 2 0011 3 3 0100 4 4 0101 5 5 0110 6 6 0111 7 7 1000 8 8 1001 9 9 1010 - A 1011 - B 1100 - C 1101 - D 1110 - E 1111 - F
You see? BCD is the same as hex, but you simply don't use all available codes. Teletext/Ceefax uses the BCD subset of the total address space to make it easier to understand and use for its users.
What you are describing is bad user interface design.... You can make a good spin dial on a digital device to, but a few push buttons are cheaper.
The big plus for digital is that once you have the initial conversion done you can do almost anything with a lot cheaper circuitry without adding extra noise. (A digital signal can be transported without adding extra noise, an analog signal by definition can't)
Eight years ago I was recommended Slackware by a friend. The only damage it did was that I got hooked. I never regretted that for a moment (did try out some other distros since then but always ran back to slackware, it just feels right). Just remember that not every windows user that wants to try linux is an icon clicking zombie.
I always found that Slackware had the best handholding.... Its just in a different place. Its not hidding the inner workings in nice GUI interfaces.. It has nicely commented config and startup files and a clear/etc/rc.d directory.
Sir, you are from LA, know that there is a world outside the US and that Tijuana is in it... You belong to such a minority I don't even know why we are spending time replying to you.
But they distributed linux binaries themselves (even after they 'found' their code in it) with this code linked against the rest of the GPL code.
The GPL doesn't allow this kind of distribution unless the whole is covered by the GPL. Therefore there is no non-GPL covered code in linux. (atleast not in the versions they distributed)
This is what IBM is kicking them for... either they accept the GPL as covering the whole binary and thereby made there own alledged code GPLed. Or they don't accept the GPL in which case IBM is probably going to demand SCO pay a few billion for copyright violation.
The eye can see brightness changes up to a very high frequency. In a CRT each pixel is hit once every frame and slowly decaying until it is hit again with an electon beam. Thus the brightness is constantly changing. That is what you can distinguish (a funny feeling that something is 'wrong') but you can't see the actual changes.
It is believed by some that this is left over from way back when it came in handy to feel scared when a predator was moving in your neighbourhood. It isn't needed to know wheter it was a tiger or not, just get out of there....
If you could also slow down the decaying off cells (which a lowered metabolism would do to some extent) you are a long way... A lot of old age problems are basicly a result of your DNA being to old/damaged to be properly copied anymore.

ISO-9660? Isn't that the CD-ROM format?
Do you mean ISO-9001 and the likes?

Both.... With BCD each digit takes up 4 bits.
binary BCD HEX
0000 0 0
0001 1 1
0010 2 2
0011 3 3
0100 4 4
0101 5 5
0110 6 6
0111 7 7
1000 8 8
1001 9 9
1010 - A
1011 - B
1100 - C
1101 - D

In that case the submitter 'and everyone else' shouldn't try to sound like an engineer.

Some other stuff:
The transmitted pages are 000-7ff but the user visible pages are 100-899
The start page is 100 and not 000, pages 000-0ff are mapped to 800-8ff.
Appearantly the general public will get confused when they have to punch in numbers starting with zero.

Large part of the 'Warm' feeling is actually a ring effect. You won't see that on a spectrum analysis execpt maybe for a longer decay.

No its not all three.

IE or Mozilla was also mentioned.
From this I think Mozilla on another platform would also be acceptable.

They got the right to redistribute their own version and collect license fees from licensees (and pay a large part of those to Novell :)

How is over twice as expensive for a little bit faster 'competitive'?

They can publish a written declaration on their own....
They don't need someone elses signature for that.
