This does work, I have had a wired one for about 6 years now.
It's useless in the car for anything else though... every time the car moves, it screams across the screen. on the highway quake spins un-controllably.
Yes! I needed a new logo for my windows boot screen!
The first thing I did when I bought a TV card for my computer, was to capture the FBI warning for a boot screen. It does nothing to prevent copying except to give the cracker something else to write 'owned' on.
as for your intrest in adventure gaming and the constant migration to new genres, well, it has alot to do with the lack of good titles.
I love the lucasarts/sierra games, and the only time I ever find a game worth playing is in the bargin bin.
I download demo after demo and nothing is of intrest... not because i've grown out of it, no. The industry has seemed to have grown out of good gaming.
My only solace is my horrible long term memory so every few years I can go through the Monkey island series again (okay the early ones at that).
Intrest in new genres tends to be for quality construction nowadays... not quality gaming.
Card readers are really sensitive, I once confused a card reader from 2 feet away with my cell phone. called someone at the checkout and it asked me to enter my pin at wallmart. with some tweaking and a little magnetic stripe recording, I bet one can rig up a wireless device to do all this.
Heck bring your library card (no magnetic stripe) to wallmart and swipe it then transmit at the same time from your pocket... oh joy, RIFD simplified.
If I had selected VISA before calling, it makes me wonder if it would have processed!
I know many self made millionaires that download mp3's... it's easier to manage the files, and it's easy to obtain. besides you dont get all the 'fluff' songs that people like metallica can't sell otherwise.
You'll see millionaires sued. you'll probably see alot of them pardoned when they offer to pay for all thier songs too.
thats what tactile feedback gloves are for... a small set of piezo actuators located at the tips of the fingers that fire when you make 'contact' with the surface. heck you can add a light to those circuts to make the recognition level higher for chording. hmm, I saw this once... oh ya, minority report.
that was supposed to be 50 years off... gotta love technology
the "*" could be an indication... he saw it a few minutes before the mindless FP war.
although I do admit, for a FP it works... BTW that trick works quite nicely on a microtron monitor. although I still would rather get better glasses than lose screen real-estate.
Don't be afraid to screw with the extend settings of ClearText either, on a trinitron/microtron/lcd it makes things nice and smooth, especially higher than 96dpi text. Personally I drive any display at it's peak and tweak the fonts to match.
I can see all us slashdotters with Vaios trying this right now....
I can see all us slashdotters trying to get it to work with VOIP and a cablemodem. and then writing a patch to instantly commit this set of requirements as a joke when a linux user types 'kill user'
I'm with the trolls... we are curious what he was actually charged with. this is a free country and rules tend to be violated before someone is "busted".
Was he simply amping up some off the shelf hardware, flooding the other 802.11 networks in the area off the dial? or was it broadcasting above the legal power outputs?
Last time I checked, if the signal is below the FCC regulated limits one could technically get away with it by directing the signal with something like the pringles can project. it's not an amp, but a reflector.
if the hardware was un-modified, I can see him 'getting busted' for exceeding the transmit range, but more likely it's for a unidirectional amped system. This was my project for 3 weeks from now, so any details on not 'getting busted' would be helpful.
I dont mean to be annoying, but we just need more info.

Get a Roll up keyboard (no clicking), and a touchpad mouse (or one like on a laptop).
No sounds at all.
Ah, but did you try shrink wrapping the entire player?
Sure you can only use one DVD EVER, but cmon, who can resist those dwarves?
Maybe this means we can use badgers to predict avalanches! =) ... ahhh... snakes!
or even
sorry, had to.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Pigeons should solve the reliability problems.
Ya but they are a bugger to get formatted.

considering a good 90% of slashdotters goto work under those conditions, I doubt this is a concern :)
Here's a link to some MP3 format copies.
Kimi no uwasa / Male lead vocal (Japanese song)
Sarasara yukigeshiki / Chorus (Japanese)
Amazing Grace / English example
Dangit, and I was trying to keep is secret. now all my plans of world domination are over! NOOOOOOOOooooo......
Actually I don't generally try and hide it.
wow, sounds like my mother-in-law.

oh ya forgot this one too: Oragami Underground
I'm a guy, I have NO idea how to give the fine ladies an oragami.
C'mon man, you've got the net don't ya?!
Pornigami!
I would be suprised if it didn't 'ice' us. Humans ARE inefficent, slow, irrational, to chose a word, Obsolete.
lets just hope they like pets.
lets see... strange mutant viruses ravaging the world, Department of defence "thinking" machines.... does anyone else see a pattern here?
I wish fiction WAS stranger than fact.
return authentiation verification protocol... duh.
watch movies in the palms of our hands on a flexible OLED screen.
heh ya right, OLED's won't be out in palms by then!

a $3999 DRM-crippled cell phone
great, so I have to purchase a license for every mosquito I want to repel. just my luck I'll get a bootleg mosquito and it'll kill me.
