How do you transmit morse code by banging a pipe? Dit's and Dah's are distinguished from each other by the length of the pulse right? By banging on something you can only affect the time between pulses, not the length.
I've had a palm for quite a while now and I just got a keyboard for it. I want to take notes in class with it. When I had my HP200LX years ago it had excellent applications, everything that's on the palm now, plus a nice DB application, and the coolest was a worrd processor that allowed you to take structured notes. You know, headings, and subheadings, etc. with automatic indenting and labeling I. II, A. B, etc.
Yeah, now you are correct. Statistics is fascinating to me. And obviously most people don't understand it, like whoever modded down Mark3's comment. But I guess he was kind of wrong because with each key tried, all the others are more likely to be the solution. Hmmm
And the court did say that this applies to any new technology.
They said it does not apply to new technology. They overturned an appeal court that basically said what you are saying. In other words, I don't have to put up heat shielding in my house in order to have a reasonable expectation of privacy. In still other words, citizens do not have to counter each new advance in technology to have that expectation of privacy.
If you don't want to know where you are, turn it off! If you want to make a waypoint at an area you want to return, turn it back on. If you get lost use it, otherwise ramble like usual! I think the capability to return to the exact same spot you marked years earlier adds a new dimension to the outdoors.
geocaching.com -can- easily remove the problem site
themselves, and the data will just be gone.
They did this, after the first legal threat, geocaching.com would return random coordinates to Buxley's site. Deep linking is not the issue, it was just Jeremy Irish didn't want anyone using "his" data, period.
I've been geocaching sonce the first/. story and have been following these disputes for quite awhile. Here's the story
Geocaching(which is now trademarked by geocaching.com), or gps stashing, or whatever you want to call it was born on a newsgroup, sites started springing up listing stash information. Geocaching.com came into the scene and became THE geocaching site for a few reasons, first and foremost it was much slicker than any other cache site, second because there was quite a media blitz. Now I don't want to tarnish the excellent work Jeremy Irish on geocaching.com, but some of the things he has done really make me (and a few others, though not a majority) really angry. He formed a business to own the site, which should have raised a few eyebrows, but people were too busy mutually masturbating at what a great site geocaching.com was.
Orignally most geocaching discussion happened on an egroup mailing list called gpsstash. Every month or two someone would ask for a downloadable list of waypoints. The request would get ignored most of the time, other times they would get brushed off by Jeremy saying that it would allow people to maintain their own copy of the info and it might go stale. In response, someone wrote a perl script to slurp info off of the site (but did not distribute it) and Jeremy responded that any attempt to slurp data off of the site would be met with legal action. Well, people continued to ask for the feature but nothing happened.
Jeremy also declared the original mailing list dead, and started hosting his own list (with alot less features, I might add.) Once again, nobody cared. Another revealing incident happened when somebody (not Buxley) made a graphic map of his state locations of stashes on it. Immediately Jeremy unveiled HIS maps.
Buxley was evidently the first to create a fully functional wold-wide map site, and then one day Jeremy decides to threaten legal action against it. FINALLY people realize that Jeremy's absolute control is a Bad ThingTM, and come out of the woodwork to complain about it. After much discussion between all parties involved Jeremy has said that he will make info available on certain caches on an opt-in basis. His excuse for not doing it before was that people may end up with stale data if there isn't a central distribution point. I have suggested that he release it under the Open Directory License, which maintains a central distribution site, and prohibits commercial use, but my post has been ignored.
To summarize, geocaching.com is a great site, but its administrator doesn't play well with others and want's to run the whole show.
Reperations? Umm, I hate to burst your fantasy bubble but it will never happen (where would we start?). Aside from the fact that we already have given reperations in the form of affirmative action (which really only hurts white males, the ONLY non-minority group.), Todays generation of white europeans will not be held responsible for the actions of their ancestors.
But if you want to feel cheated and hateful and hold on to your "Us vs. Them" mentality be my guest. People whose only sense of identity comes from their race frustrate me.
Oh yeah Mr. Hispanic Heritage, Why doesn't Mexico repay the mexican indians for all that has been done to them.
You can stop any crime by legalizing it. I honestly believe that the best way to tackle the war on homicide would be to legalize it..
Put strict taxes on all murder-for-hire operations and sell services at gun shops.
One little difference, drug use doen't have a non-consenting victim.
It doesn't matter whether that gang member is car-jacking me for money to buy dope from the street dealer or for money to buy
dope from the neighborhood pharmacy--people under the influence of drugs are dangerous and stupid.
So are people under the influence of alcohol. People get addicted to that stuff too. Have you ever been carjacked for money to buy alcohol or tobacco? No. It's so cheap and widely available that it would make more sense to simply beg/buy some at the store.
The three primary colors are not red, blue, and yellow, and in no way can they be.
Well why not? A quick look at my textbook shows that humans have receptors sensitve to blue, green(very close to yellow BTW), and red wavelengths of light. The distribution of these receptors is not uniform across the spectrum. In other words we just happen to percieve colors based on the three "primary" colors. You could just as easily define a color using three different points on the spectrum.
isn't the statement that "humans evolved from
monkeys who evolved from lesser creatures" just an extrapolation of the statement "all creatures evolved together from more primitive versions of themselves?
Reading the post again, is darwin saying that there is no branching in evolution?
So, where did the bacteria come from? So, until your ilk can explain the evolution of the bacteria from the big bang, you
don't get your cookie.
By your logic, once that is explained, It won't mean anything because people will say that we don't know what happened before the big bang, and before that, etc. Hell, right now we don't know what actually makes gravity, does that mean our theory of flight is incomplete?
I'm glad that we have some wilsonites on board. I was afraid that no-one got my joke a while back about Gold & Appel buying the Kursk after the Mir deal fell through (literally).

Ever heard of a program like this for the palm?
Yeah, now you are correct. Statistics is fascinating to me. And obviously most people don't understand it, like whoever modded down Mark3's comment. But I guess he was kind of wrong because with each key tried, all the others are more likely to be the solution. Hmmm
Exactly, that is what I was saying. If you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, a warrant is required.
They said it does not apply to new technology. They overturned an appeal court that basically said what you are saying.

It would be legal for someone to buy it and then put it up for download right?
Anyone know where to get iso CD images? As I write this it doesn't seem to be on their ftp server.
Yes, but are you more human than the human! Heh, sorry :)

Someone needs to smack CNN for not including a picture when one obviously exists.
