i'm curious, does it violate fcc regs to set up a mobile broadcaster in your car since, a) it's your car and your computer system (assuming proper setup), and b) you can buy the components for a personal fm transmitter from tandy corp. (radioshack for those who don't know who tandy is , although why i just told you is beyond me) as far as the transmitter goes, i know i have seen kits offered when tandy was starting techamerica, which was supposed to become some big chain, about 4 years ago, but i havent heard anything about them lately.
"After significant expense by the taxpayers, the scientists have reported on the same laws of physics that have always existed," deputy director Cheryl Leanza said. "These tiny radio stations are no threat to the current broadcast system. It is now time for Congress to take action based on that analysis."
anyone else notice this portion? makes you wonder who actually expected the laws of physics to bend to the whims of lawmakers and lobbyists?
while i agree with what you are saying, i don't know that all users are trained users. heck, not all programmers are good systems analysts, although we should all be before we get a job, because one skill set relies heavily on the other.
having said all that, as a fully competent programmer, i am looking to goto work for the FAA here by the end of the year as an ATC, so by the end of the year (which seems forever to most/.'ers, think next computer line release by Dell, Compaq, etc), i should be able to let everyone know exactly how the bugs affect the system.
and here's a not to most people's argument that they may not realize [hey, why not comment a week and a half after the story leaves the front page, eh?] most of these ATC's are leaving their jobs due to retirement (think gov't 20 yrs) and so this system comes along right in the face of new, well, faces coming to work for the FAA
i'm sure this has already been said, so i'll take the redundant and should prob just go it anonymous, however, i hope to live forever (i know i know, but hey, ya know " i have a dream ")
i agree with what you are saying about the other sites have it, so why not google?
cost, my friend, cost. many of these other sites run huge banner ads (which many/.ers and others hate) as well as many are owned by companies that already have a lucrative business irl.
I would much rather google maintain their pagerank system and develop it further than look for pretty new goodies that could possibly break before we even get ipv6 fully in place.
so you're not just talking about RealLife v.1? I am just looking for the RealLife expansion pack that let's you save and quit, as well as the extra features GirlFriend 2.0 and Army of One (We're serious, wipe out whole galactic clusters with one tactical pulsar).
what if you zoomed into the maxis movie theater and zoomed into the arcade could you play some of the different maxis pinball games, etc. and if you went into the arcade, would there be a console for SimCity Classic a la Day Of The Tentacle's Maniac Mansion on the upstairs computer in the big guy's room?
okay, first off, yes, you're brain does disconnect from the body (issuing commands for movement anyways) when you sleep. yes the brain does adapt to new channels of incoming information. if you would like to speak with someone knowledgeable about this and cannot find anyone locally, then let me recommend a gentleman with two doctorates, several masters and numerous bachelor's/other studies, who has worked and still occasionally does work for the FBI, and put in twenty+ years working at Bryce Hospital studying the brain, and it's functions. Okay, he's fairly busy, and he may take a while to get back to you, but here's is email addy dgunn @ ayers cc al us.
to all of slashdot that may read this: yes, it's spam guarded for a reason. if you are lowlife enough to start spamming him, then i will personally trace you down, by the recorded IP of your last contact with that webpage, and thus contacting your ISP and he will undoubtedly talk to the FBI about your prank, and yes, i do have that capability and desire. I admire this man more than any other three people i know. (it doesnt hurt that he thinks i'm cool too).
okay, now on to book references: have you read terminal man by crichton? good book, and sorta related
okay, now really bad jokes: someone with a completely healthy body would move the mouse with, say, two or three fingers, or for mac ppl, a palm and a knuckle, at the least.
You reckon Google's caching system has captured some of the old pop-under ads from the past year or so? If it's enough to get the USPTO to not grant the patent, then I say we get a bunch of/. types to bug the heck out of Google, or maybe Hemos and crew know someone over there who can help us out? All we need is a verifiable means of proving that pop-unders were in use in 2000. I know I've seen em.
I guess the question is, does anyone know if the court accepts a tape backup as proof/evidence?
IANAL, so I must await a lawyer's answer, or maybe just a judge.
and since i won't try to beat the lameness filter in 30 seconds of code, i just align them vertically as opposed to the "normal" horizontal method
and is the screen a light muave color?
no seriously, my friend was buggin 'cos her comp acts frizzy "all the time", so i tol her to bring it to me, and i hooked it up, and, swear to god, when she heard the speakers play the annoying ass windows startup, she freaked, (especially since the sound was all the way up, and i didnt think that they were complete dumbasses to turn it all the way up because the sound didnt work) and asked me how did i do that (completely forgetting the screen issues) and i showed her the back of the boxen, and she was a loon for like five minutes
back to the point of the story, after i had the comp up and running, i didnt notice any glitchy screen happenings, ran all the scans on the sys i could think, and nothing ever caused it to do anything unexpected. i had her sit down and do stuph like she would normally do, and, guess what, no probs.
she still tells me her screen is fritzy. i don't get it.
(actually, i told her to go by a new f-ing monitor recently)
newayz, xix, thought that was a hilarious post, and i guess i just needed to vent.
lessee, a portable cd player [15+], and a soundblaster live audio card[60, but no-more-distro], and a simple stereo hookup cable [10] from anywhere (radio shack, walmart, where ever) (it's the one with the 3.5mm plugs with the stripe across the end of the plug, hint two channels == stereo) and any media recorder that can pull off the audio_in channel and voila. at the very least, you are gauranteed 64kbps or better, and that is assuming that you use really cheesy hardware.
now, with some excellent hardware, ummm, lessee, like a soundblaster live platinum [200] or better, a "nice" cdplayer, (i use my professional cdplayer system [dj]), and a set of gold RCA-stereo cables [25+], and you are gauranteed whatever the cdplayer plays at, which should be well over the 300kbps limit.
Or did I miss something here? and aren't these cd's supposed to be playable at least on portables? so problem solved.
anyone think RIAA/MPAA thought of this?

Just out of curiousity, have you ever heard of the PC-99 standard? which states that a PC must be able to play MPEG layered media? So what that microsoft tries to make it easier on the user's behalf of playing and organizing this stuff. If you don't want it, take it out of the system. If you can't, quit whining until you learn how. Can I? yes. Have i taken IE out of windows? yes. does life suck without it becuase MS has extremely gifted design experts and programmers that came from our midst who sold out for the paycheck? yes. would i sell out and help them? yes. does that make me a luser? no, because i could put ninety percent of the required linux boot informatin in the correct place to make the system boot. I have put in the time, now you shut yer yap about why MS making the compuer easier for the user to use is a bad thing. </rant> and for the uninitiated, PC-99 is just a standard to make sure that a computer distributor is not building crappy systems and selling them as "useful machines"
does anyone have a better piece of code for a spastic {colon|cursor|whatever} than this routine which is the best i have been able to hack together on my own?
yes i know it is clunky, and really dependent on my machine, since i didn't post the dynamic cursor, which changes based on system speed, but it's CowboyNeal's fault, or CmdrTaco, or somebody, 'cos they got a lousy lame filter which prevents me from posting my really fun code.
anyways. looking for a better spastic {colon|cursor|whatever}, and this is the place to find such an item (aside from possibly ebay)
void spastic(long m) {
int i;
for (i=0;im;i++)
{
cout"\\\b|\b/\b-\b";
} }
or at least have them release the code that allows them to have this. someone please tell me that i am not the first person to discover this? this screenshot at http://drachenstern.tripod.com/images/isnt_this_im possible_question.png (it looks like tripod is going to be very difficult about this) which has not been edited in anyway, except to actually put it in png format, shows a 1.82 GB cdrom.
if the open source movement could squeeze this much information onto one cdrom, think of all the many more things we could probably due that microsoft isn't allowing us.
can someone else duplicate this? MSVS 6.0 pro, the service pack 3 cdrom. and yes, this is absolutely serious and no, i dont like ms that much, but what does your local small college / vo tech use for their CIS program? i believe that the bulk of UNIX devel programs are more UNI, correct? (i guess this is what happens when the prof asks you to bring in your home boxen to burn cds for him while the rest of the class labors through an assignment. I guess it helps that i have shown him my ability to do the advanced level courses, and have to have this class for my sheepskin, which he knows.) browny points, why thank you. no. you're too kind. really.
My thoughts on why you would need both a cell and a pager is that you would have the pager be a part of the phone and be built into your Rolex wristwatch (or some even nicer, but most assoc. rolex with expens.), so that you can turn your phone off for meetings (even the vibrate), and not disturb anyone, yet have the watch [vibrate/shock/flash/beep softly/glow] when you have a new message || when someone calls. obviously this feature would be turnoffable, however, it would work on the same freq as the cell component.
i think that what the high level poster is referring to is the phone out of The Saint (Val Kilmer), which takes has the kb built in. only, ya gotta build in the pocketknife first.:]
