You must have aversion for sound quality. Minidisc is already heavily compressed to fit 70 minutes of music, what do you get when you fit 3 hours worth of it? Something just a bit worse than 64kbps mp3?
Maybe you could invest into a 64 or 128 MB Samsung Yepp with USB. That sould not be more than $100. Or get the Rio Karma 1.5GB (that houses X times more music) for $70. See slickdeals.net.
Connecting outputs of two power supplies directly is a sure way of blowing up one or the other. Think about it this way: one is outputting 5.00V, the other one is 5.02V. You connect them together and the 0.02V difference will have to be resolved. The wires have negligable resistance (let's say 0.01 Ohm), so you will have (I=U/R) current that is 0.02 V / 0.01 Ohm = 2 A ! Doing nothing than disspicating from both PSUs. In real life 5V +/- 5% will give you 0.5 V max difference, and the wires are not much, so it will actually be likely to dissipate much more than my example.
You can connect diodes from both PSUs, pointing towards the CD, but the diodes have a 0.7V drop...
Or you can just buy that MSI barebones system, that already has the functionality that you crave...
I had one of those, and it was 100x more fun to program than C++ or VB (or anything else). Some of those demos were just awe inspiring and stay that way even nowadays.
Well here at Hughes Center in LA county we have the $20 movie tickets for similarly appointed theater. It seems everything is 50-60% premium in SoCal...
BTW, I don't partonize the place, it is festered with teenagers on dates...
Ok, we reach the LCD for the light email user. One of the guys go on a two-week vacation to Europe. Suddenly his usage is 50% of the prev. month. Everyone's cap will be cut. Eventually someone might even be gone for the whole month. Further reducing caps... etc...
Let's say 90% quantile is 500MB/mo. This action will cap the heavy downloaders, thereby reducing the 90% quantile for the next month. This lower cap will cap more people. Repeat, rinse, and there you are with 0 byte/mo cap for a low-low price of $50/mo.
The compression is still lossy. Your method kinda reminds me to filters for JPEGs that specialized in removing compression artifacts. Of course if your original image has features that are mistakenly percieved as artifacts...
Because english words are made up of some common components. 'i' always comes before 'e' in 'ie' pairs, for example.
My neighbor weighed your argument. He used a beige scale, and decided it was probably the heinous act of a foreigner to make such a statement. And you're weird. So rein in yourself, and remove the veil of ignorance, ye feisty cad!
Thou should forfeit karma, but that is neither here nor there.

Yes, but it brings up interesting lossy text compression, where you can rearrange the middle of the words to reduce the compressed file size. Kinda like MP3 or JPG for your reading.
This is illegal. All firms (beyond a certain size, about 10 ot more, depends on your state) need to observe federal non-discriminatory laws. Tata Consulting broke the law, and therefore prime suspects for a large legal case...

You are probably right, however I do, regretfully, recall that the dump inext to the highway in north Palm Beach County, FL, where the average depth of the landfill was about 200-300 yards. I however seriously doubt that iron spread on top of that landfill would reach to bottom of it in the sunnier side of a thousand years. Maybe they meant to say for each layer (that should be about 2-3 yards). So it is still cheap if $5 takes care of 2-3 m^3...
That is not my domain. A.us is no more homo that writing stupid comments on slashdot.
G5 is slower than Dell if Dell is benchmarking them, just like G5 is faster if Apple is doing the measurements. At least Dell does not announce that they are coming out with the *fastest* desktop computer ever every single time.
You mean the G5 is quiter than the G4 that Apple fanboys were petitioning for a return because it was so freaking loud. Wow 3x times quiter. What an accomplishment, what is that like 1.2 dB?
My recent Dell 400SC purchase has a total of 2 fans, 80mm + 92mm. You can hear the hard drive seeking over the fans. My fridge is louder from the next room over. see FAQ about it.
Logo is Turtle Graphics programming language. There are quite a collection of Freeware nad/or GNU Logo products out there for x86 machines (Win/Linux).
I would highly recommend some Logo demonstration. Drawing is fun and drwing with computers is even more fun. Plus they will like the turtle.
I was thinking about some simple game (to catch their attention) and then show them how it is written. Again something simpler (like Logo) might do better than VB...
Yes, that is why you should use Netscape 7+ / Mozilla 1+ / Thunderbird 0.2 for your emails. Both Mozailla nad Thunderbird allows you to disable remote loading of images and or sending/receiving cookies from your email, on top they use the more-standard-complaint Gecko engine to display your HTML emails (and also have HTML to text transcoder extensions for both of them). I am not so sure about Netscape (I don't use that), but AOL might have made them disavle above features. At anyrate no ActiveX crap can make it through any of these.
Give them a try and you'll get the excellent spam filtering as a bonus!
Flat out fantastic stuff that you won't hear anywhere else on the airwaves in Seattle.
Except of course on KCRW (NPR in Santa Monica) which has such a programs as Morning Becomes Eclectic, Metropolis, Cafe LA, Weekend Becomes Eclectic, Nocturna, etc. They also stream and sell CDs, check them out...

Palm is pretty well supported by Linux folks. It uses smartmedia, and is quite cheap...
I can compress anything to a single bit. The decompression algrithm, however, depends on what you have compressed earlier ;-)

That assimptotically reaches 0 byte cap.

You at least have an option of turning off this "helpful" page in IE. No such feature from NSI.

That comes out to $INF per m^3. Too bad...
What kind of whacky measurement is this? Waste is (last time I checked) three (!!!) dimensional.
