Case in point, actually. You take the world's fastest open multiuser network (Internet2) with speeds approaching Ridiculous and Ludicrous, and the stuff still doesn't work right.
Yes it does work right. We do it everyday, several conference rooms, several hours a day. I'd hesitate to say that we're at 5 nines, but it works 99% of the time. And we don't do anything less than 768k, usually 1.5Mb.
It's when we start to connect to folks not on Abilene (Internet2's backbone) that some problems arise, but usually they are firewall config problems.
It's not quite what you describe, but www.sonance.com has a in-wall docking station called the iPort. It's not cheap at $598 (list) but for the geek who has everything.....
Nice. Although having something that didn't require me to install a PC in my car would be great.
(I expect to lose karma by *not* already having a PC installed in my car)
And what I really want is a Tivo like device where my radio currently sits. Being able to listen to "Talk of the Nation: Science Friday" at 3pm is not possible for me, but having it record it so that I could listen on the way home would be great.
I'm getting to used to the PVR features I have at home and really want them for the audio in my car.
Of course I expect the RIAA goons to come down HARD on anyone who tries to make a commercial product like this.
While I would love to have some less advanced features that would allow me to fix it myself, a lot of these advances are in the area of safety. I guess I'm happy to have the advanced features and materials that make me, my wife, and my kids safer.
There are a lot of things wrong with cars, but I'd never trade the safety advances for simplicity.
While I love this idea, or the idea to make the licence plate digits the "phone number" to contact the driver in front of you, I can easily see it degenerating into a bunch of CB radio noise.
For some..ahem...blue entertainment, listen to CB channel 19 on a highway trip. This is what I think your proposed system would become in short order.
> Air to ground doesn't have anything to block the radio waves. You get really good range.
Most people don't put APs on their roofs, so I'd say that there is a lot to block those waves. Wood, shingles, metal, clay, etc. The antenna and a card with good sensitivity helped this a great deal.
Now suppose you wanted to record a whole symphone with a 50 mike setup, and you wanted to do it in 192khz. You want 60 minutes of music and take each song a minimum of 2 times. That's 192GB of data, and you still need space to process that to a final form.
I totally get your point, but even in the most sophisticated symphonic recording setups you would never have 40 some spot mics (okay, someone probably does it, but it would be insane). However, in pop recording these days, it's not out of the question to have 50+ tracks, although all 50 would probably not be all going all the time for 3.5 minutes.
As a person using a DAW to do albums, this whole storage thing is on the forefront of my mind.

More bonus points to the person who buys it and reloads it with ElectroVoice Force series speakers....
Long term anything in the stock market is a fools game.
Hmmm...Buffett may have something contrary to say about that. He seems to have done pretty well sticking to the long term plan.
Which paper? Link?

Yeah, here's a link of a collegue who used the VRVS videoconferencing application on one of his flights. http://www.vrvs.org/Announcements/Plane/VRVS_in_th e_air.html

Almost all of those products you pointed to from Total Media are backordered....sources are dwindling...
You remember this from your American youth? You had a much cooler upbringing than me... Go India! Beat Bangladesh!

Well, here's a pretty good thesis on the topic:
Amateur Radio and Innovation in Telecommunications Technology The summary is "a hell of a lot", and if you want a comprehensive list, read the thesis.

Anyone have a link to his software? I use and like TotalRecorder, but I'd love to have a look at what he did.

This one is from the NTIA (who puts out that chart)

I started to organize my pr0n with a database, but i found that I was easily distracted by the content.
Plus 'leafing' through it is half the fun.

Yeah, that pissed me right off. When I had ... - ..- ..-. ..-. in the Subject it told me it looked too much like ASCII art.....feh
I also could not say things like:
UR 599 OM, RIG HERE IS AMD, QSL?
without it bitching about yelling....
dah dadadah dit didah dadidadit didididit dah didididit dit didit didadit dadadah didadah dadit
This seems like a sleazier version of a 'dead pool'....
The update on my win2k machine was 948k.

They do? I'm not disagreeing, but I've never heard of this.
