Nope! Won't work! Only "1"s and "0"s are binary. Don't believe me? Ask any machine language programmer to write down a binary number. You ain't gonna see no green eggs.
If you were on AOL you would not build up so many! Perhaps 650 MHz and 64 megs limits to a smaller number, or maybe there was just one dataminer using dynamite instead of a shovel.
Seriously, does anyone know how to move a person's email and favorites (or whatever AOL call them) to Mozilla?
I installed AOL once so I would have some experience for the class I was teaching. It took so much control of my computer, I could do nothing without having to kill some AOL popup or wizard. Such a pain! However, no matter how much we may despise it, a lot of people use and depend on it, and if we don't know anything about it, as I don't, it is really hard to work with it. Must reformat! sounds so good sometimes.
Three days ago I helped a friend who could not get connect her modem to connect to AOL. I tried everything including uninstalling AOL and deleting registry entries until my eyes got blurrry. Re-installed to find that AOL still pulled up her ID and Password from somewhere. I even called AOL support to get a new password - still no connection. I used
Hyperterminal to call the AOL number and connected so I knew the system should connect.
Finally, I ran a copy of AD-AWARE and SPYBOT-S&D from a CD I had with me. After removing nearly 200 data miners and some files, the system connected on the first try. I have not yet notified AOL of the problem, but I expect others have had the same problem.
A TV, Satellite, Radio all broadcast or transmit "programs" to the public. These programs can be music, news, movies, conversations, commercials/advertisements or any other information.
This conglomerate of information is known as "the programming" that is being transmitted to the final user.
The "programmers" are the people who decide which and what programs will be transmitted or broadcast to the final user.
If you are the writer or producer of a "program" you want to sell your product to the "programmers" who, in turn, want to solicit money from the advertisers to help pay for the satellite used to broadcast or transmit the program to all end users.
Let's see now. I log in to Yahoo (www.yahoo.com) or some other website, and after I connect to the web site, I can download my email to my personal computer. But Bzzt, I am not really downloading from the web, I am downloading from the internet. So the data is not on Yahoo, it's floating around on the internet, bouncing back and fourth between servers, none of which want to store it, so they just relay it round and round until I download it from..... (Wait a minute! The internet is connected to the web so... Or is the web connected to the internet? Who did you say I am?) Now since the data on the internet is only that data that is on the wires or in the air between wireless points, and since the data speed between points is approaching the speed of light, and there are some 230 terabytes of this data....Hey, I've stumbled onto something. Now I can calculate the total length of the wires connecting the web to the internet. Or was that the internet to the web?
Where do you find such a company? I worked Texas Instruments back in the late '60s when the division had a standard 45 hour week. And you were expected to be there "at least" that many hours. 30 minutes for lunch and work till 5:30. That's 8-5:30, not 9-5! Many people worked longer, but no-one ever was allowed a 10am start time. In fact every company I have worked for (Collins/Rockwell, TI, Honeywell, NCR, and 5 smaller ones, have all had 9 hours with one hour lunch.
I would like to have one of those short day jobs sometime.

"So if someone knows what "clicking a link" is you consider them computer literate?"
In the class I'm teaching, knowing what "clicking a link" means, will put one at the top of the class. Actually, of the 12 people in the class, I don't think anyone would know how to do that. After 4 weeks, (one hour per) I still have one person that has trouble with how you "left click" with your right hand.
Mod it funny if you like, 'cause "Pathetic" is not an option.
"I was intrigued to find out how the tags (which are generally battery-free) can absorb enough energy from RFID readers to then power up and transmit their own signal back to the reader."
The passive devices that power up and send back data have nothing on the crystal radios that were used during the 1930's and 1940's. With nothing but an antenna a few feet or yards long,a semiconductor(crystal) and earphones, it was possible to receive enough power to hear radio stations. The so called "Fox Hole Radio" of World War II used a pin made of tin and to contact a "Blue Blade" razor to make the crystal. This simple setup received enough power from the antenna to give audible power to the earphones. I duplicated this years later but used a 1N34 germanium crystal. (And no, you don't need a tuning circuit if you have one strong signal and the others are weak.) The blue blade razors were out of production before I knew that they could be used.
For those interested in the design at a more in-depth level, you might want to take a look at the RFID HANDBOOK by Klaus Finkenzeller, published by Wiley, 1999 and reprinted in 2001. Also, ATMEL and Microchip(? I'm not in the lab.) have evaluation kits for a few hundred dollars.
Yep, folks, that's it in a nutshell. Mostek purchased a few million ceramic boats for their new chip that will be used in some sort of RF transponder. They are packaged in the traditional white ceramic package for flatpacks licensed from Radiation Incorporated. They have been sent to a polishing tumbler and are very bright and shiney. If anyone knows of a potential use for these, they are available at a very low cost.
How do you make it fit? First you convert the analog to digital "1"s and "o"s. Then you take the "1"s and lay them parallel starting from the inside of the disk. Then you put the "o"s down nearer the outside of the disk where there is more room. Any more questions?
Last year I worked on designing a longer range RFID for a custom project at a University. Here is some info on RFID.
The simplest RFID is the magnetic foil in the "don't steal me" package in stores. It has no information, but just notes that "I'm here" by absorbing some power from the transmitter.
The "smart" RFID with information to send back, receives power from the external interrogator transmitter, turns on, decodes up to 128 bits (privacy) from the incoming signal to determine if it should respond, reads some or all of its memory, and responds as requested. The amount of memory is not limited, so fairly detailed pictures could be there. Units that turn on like a radio receiving signals need a battery. They can potentially transmit longer distances since they contain their own transmitter.
Circuits on the device must protect from too much received power and turn off until the power decreases.
The range is based on the frequency and the size of the receiving and/transmitting coil along with the method of operation. Passive types modulate the received signal by drawing power from it. Larger antennas are needed for longer distances, and that is the reason for the big antennas you walk through next to doors in stores. Units with their own battery can transmit further, but are limited by battery life.
There is obviously a lot more to this, but I just wanted to give a little more information.

Now you've gone and done it! "your dictionaly.com" is slashdotted.
As a "single-again" for a few years now, I can use that!
Thanks
That is known as unplanned abstinence!

That's really good. I could not have said that thats better.

You said "that that"
Don't care where you live. The Firebird will find you!
FYI You can't change the 1's and 0's to dots and commas because it would not be binary anymore.
Your Obsenity should have been at the end of the line.
