The MC DAC supported has a sampling rate of 20MHz. Does that limit the range of possible frequencies to 20MHz ? Are there any ADCs out there that can sample upto, say, 500MHz ?
Very interesting - this sounds like the tools to create application-level firewall I've alwys wanted.
Paraphrasing from the page: "it is slow. About 10x slower than normal. Running Netscape under subterfuge is like running Netscape remotely and displaying it over a 28.8 connection".
yes I use Windows
Never mind... you won't notice the difference.
From the article: "It's almost like querying a database," says Rabaey. "If I send a request into the network saying, 'Give me the temperature in the kitchen,' it propagates through the network until it meets a node that says, 'I'm in the kitchen, and it's 70 degrees.'"
Reminds you of a P2P network, doesn't it? (just to throw in another buzzword....:-)
Microsoft in the past has argued that words like "internet" and "explorer" are generic, and can't be trademarked. All the while claiming (with a straight face) that "windows" is not generic, and demands trademark protection.
A little background. In 1994, a little-known Chicago area company called SyNet started distributing a web browser, called "internet explorer". Then, in 1995 Microsoft came out with its own "internet explorer". The Chicago company sued, and went bankrupt fighting the behemoth. Eventually, in 1998 Microsoft agreed to pay $5mil to settle the case (after SyNet had gone bankrupt, so they basically accepted anything that they could).
Try Insure++ from ParaSoft. It catches more memory leaks, memory corruption and other kinds of errors than Purify, and is available for Linux.
I've been an Insure (was Insight) user for 5-6 years now, and it is a wonderful tool. It will save you many person-hours of painful debugging, especially if you use C (like we do).
Could be. But a cracker with a serious budget would use a hermetically sealed chamber filled with nitrogen (if the sensors are oxygen sensors) or the right pressure (if the sensors are pressure sensors), thereby avoiding the sensors tripping.

Mr. Seltzer thinks that the shortcomings of Google are that it doesn't allow for more "powerful" or "expressive" queries like "link:samizdat.com" or "url:samizdat.com/isyn". The question is: how many people really use such queries? How many times have you (also not the typical user, but lets assume so) wanted to see who links to a particular site? Typically, someone who knows that site well or has already found it will look for such information.
As far as I'm concerned, Google does a tremendous job of finding informative sites for me, quickly. Usually when I search, I have a keyword or two in mind, and start with that. Within a couple of clicks (or just 1, if "I'm feeling lucky") I'm on my way.
Probably Mr. Seltzer is biased because he is ex-Digital or something, and was pleasantly surprised at the uptick in Altavista referrals to his sites.
1. I live in a flood-prone area. Since I know it'll it'll flood and the house will sustain some damage, should I just go and get money from the Insurance company (even if there is no flooding)?
2. Someone lives in a high-crime area. Should the government pay for him to live there, since the government knows that it can't enforce the laws 100% of the time and keep the area crime-free ?
Insure (was Insight) does a tremendous job of this. I've been using Insure (used to be called Insight) for many years, and it can find all sorts of runtime problems. Of course, doing all the runtime checks is slow and takes time, but the savings in development time are awesome.
I am just a satisfied customer, and have no relationship with the company.
Prof. Jon Kleinberg of Cornell did this work many years ago. IIRC, he was the first to come up with the idea (first published in 1997). Check out his list of publications for the work (and related stuff).

Why not? Last I checked, Kashmir was a part of India. The International Law recognizes the accession of Kashmir into India. Even the United Nations agreed that Kashmir would be a part of India (until the plebiscite is held). What it does not recognize is the occupation of a part of Kashmir by Pakistan.
The plebiscite has not been held because Pakistan continues to illegally occupy a third of the region. Once Pakistan withdraws, there should be no problems in holding a plebiscite.
Coming back to the topic at hand, I hope this network (or something similar) will spread to every nook and corner of the country, bringing high-speed access to the masses.
This doesn't sound like much.
Now, if you put a Wi-Fi hub in the teddy, that would be something.

You've got the story wrong, eh? It was like this, eh.
Three Scots who had just found this huge hunka land, eh, were trying to come up with a name for it, eh? They decided to draw letters from a hat, eh?

When he was an undergrad, he had wired up his undies to a humidity sensor. If the sensor detected that he was sweating, it turned up the A/C in the room.
Of course, being a geek, there can't be any other reason for him to start sweating, right?;)
Wow, you are touchy. The "dig" that you are taking offense at is in response to KTTech's statement, "licensing KT-Tech's sound codec is easy". The editor(?) just responded to that statement.
If the US can export hazardous waste to these countries, how is that any different from Colombia sending drugs to the US?
It may sound like twisted logic at first, but think about it.
Country A produces a product that it ships to country B. This product is used by the poor in country B to make some money, but in the process they end up hurting their own communities. Not only that, this product spreads, causing harm in more affluent communities living further away.
Replace "A" with Colombia and "product" with drugs and you have the current drug war.
Or, replace "A" with US, "product" with toxic waste, and you have the current toxic waste dumping scenario.
Think about it.
It depends on the "power" that the Iranian exiles wield in the US. For example, the US has been funding "TV Marti" for decades, which just pumps anti-Castro propaganda to Cuba.
One would think that it would be in the US' interests to support NITV. 1 year of support to NITV will probably cost less than 1 of those cruise missiles.....;)
I think most of us agree that the conf system is getting out of hand. With the proliferation of distros, its only going to get worse.
A solution would be to first implement a generic "configuration" library. A small, efficient library with various language bindings. It should provide the coder simple functions to manipulate the conf file, sortof like "getopts".
Once the above library is implemented, encourage people to use it in any new projects that they are starting. At the same time, volunteers (ie you) can work on "porting" the existing packages over to using this new fangled library.
Over time, this approach should work.

NudeCheerleader(part1).mpeg isn't going to be the same as NudeCheerleader(part1).mpeg on someone elses comp.
Then download both! You will have to visually inspect the contents of both to really tell if they are same or not. It's called "research".

Wrong! But thanks for playing...
