And almost pure profit to the patent holder, with the exception being any costs related to buying a set of darts and paying a summer intern to write the names of every possibly target company on the wall, at which the aforementioned darts can be thrown, to pick the target-du-jour.
If they make it work fast enough that you can jog on it, then all you need is virtual naked women so that us geeks can virtually chase virtually naked virtual women and lose weight - Porn and Weight Loss appear to be two HUGE markets based on the spam I receive....
Now if you guys could just invent a muffler that didn't make it sound like a jet engine on takeoff, you just might find that other people like motorcycles, too.
It's been a few years since I took the CPR class, but I don't remember a step that said anything about "rip the victims shirt/blouse/bra off and closely examine their chest to see if they should be saved before proceeding."
I'm the same way, except I use a WinCE device instead. In my case, it's a Compaq iPaq 3765 to which I've added a PCMCIA sleeve and a 5 GB PCMCIA hard drive which allows me to carry around a butt-load of ebooks and still have plenty of room left for games, music, movies, etc.
Microsoft Reader, which is usable on the desktop or on WinCE devices is a pretty decent ebook reader app that remembers what the last book I was reading and what page I was on so it's almost as fast as flipping to real life bookmark or creased page corner.
Before leaving on any trip, I load it up with fresh ebooks (including the MS Encarta Dictionary which allows me to lookup any word in any ebook I read by just clicking on the word) and make sure to have at least one form of charging cable with me (USB, AC or car adapter) and I'm good to go. The PCMCIA sleeve has an extra battery in it, and if I copy the ebook to local RAM and read it from there, the hard drive spins down and I can use the extra battery to keep the main system alive for several hours at a time.
Inside it's leather case, even with the sleeve attached it's still smaller than most pocket novels, supports full color images (most.LIT ebooks include full color cover art) and conveniently clips to my belt so I can keep it with me at all times.
Using the Advanced Search feature on ebay you can search for Closed Items so you can see the recent past history of what a particular item usually sells for.
They should go to Half Price Books where you can literally buy books 'by the yard'. You can fill up your shelves with all sorts of fancy books for pennies on the dollar.
Tell me how to get WinXP to install and run on a Pentium I - 166 MHz PC with 32 MB of RAM without spending any money and I'll go download a pirated copy right away...
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the new IE changes are part of WinXP SP2 which means that only people using WinXP will block pop-ups by default?
Most of the problematic friends/relatives/co-workers/etc. who bug me with computer questions are still using Windows 98/ME/2000... heck I know people still using Windows 95 because they're too cheap to upgrade...
I seriously doubt that this is the end of the pop-up ad as we know it...
You don't need to save the entire dish, but if you remove the LNB (Low Noise Block) from the dish, you should be able to sell those for a pretty penny on eBay, especially the dual-LNBs that allow you to have multiple receivers per dish.
Those seem to be the single-most expensive/valuable part of the whole system.
wouldn't you get better signal for being "closer" to the sats?
Sure, because instead of being an distant 23,000 miles from a geostationary satellite, up in the tallest of inhabitable mountains you might be a mere 22,999 miles away...;-)

Part of your response must have been cut off on my screen, I'm sure you meant to say "but all the patent law(yers) too."...
The software is still available in stores, although I don't know if it will still work without being able to connect to their servers...
Actually, flight sims on a big screen are very cool, too.
Until power drills are ruled illegal under the DMCA for being an illegal circumvention tool...

$700 and it won't work with an obscure, ultrasonically controlled turntable from 27 years ago?
What a rip off!
I've seen soccer tournaments before... I'm guessing they don't have to send too many SMS messages...
I'm sure if you're willing to store it in your backyard, they'll bring you all you want. You can have my share.
Better check with your Home Owners Association to see if they have restrictions on the amount of highly-toxic radioactive waste you're allowed.
Check your anatomy again.. the retina is located at the *back* of the eye, the flap is cut in the cornea in the *front* of the eye.
How much shit can a dipshit shit, if a dipshit can dip shit?
But if we block their military frequencies, how can they coordinate their total surrender?

I believe you meant to say "All your moon ARE belong to us", but I give you a C+ for effort.

And the ones least likely to be able to afford a software re-write... :-(
I'll try it some time, but I remember that Windows ME wouldn't even install on anything less than a 300 MHz processor - at least the beta wouldn't.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
