I doubt such a fan would not induce enough currents in the PCB traces to cause data errors, but for audio equipment (at least in the broadcast industry where they seem to need 120dB SNR to enjoy german country music) it can be a nuisance. brushless motors work by rotating the magnetic field of the inner stator, and the permanent magnetic rotor then rotates to match fields. This is a lot worse for inducing currents than a normal motor where the permanent magnetic stator is on the outside, sitting still. The field variance seen on the outside of the brushless motor is way bigger...
Maybe you could _theoretically_ disrupt the reading if you managed to focus the magnetic field on the head, where the signal is still unamplified. Hmm, have to test that in the lab next week:-P
So you're saying you have your browser set to block popups but then you open the popups manually out of curiosity? Right. That obviously saves a bit of time.
Well, if it logs all changes to the "I've flown this long" counter, supposedly to make sure not to overstep an FAA restriction, I can imagine that many changes would happen, yes.:-P
Of course, you only paid $20 _in_addition_to_the_cost_of_the_Orinoco_.
Orinoco + coaxial cable + antenna, or USB WIFI dongle + USB cable + antenna. If you already had the Orinoco, then that's your legacy problem, not mine. You still had to pay for it at some point, though:-)
Here in Norway the latter seems to come out at less than half the cost. I find no WIFI thingies cheaper than the USB ones, and USB cable costs about 1/10 of coaxial cable. And everything has USB these days.
For what it's worth, I have actually seen Clerks numerous times, so I understood what that scene is about.
Here's a tip: In Clerks, the same scene happens, but instead of discussing the movie Mallrats, they're discussing Star Wars, specifically the destruction of the second, not-yet-supposed-to-be-operational (big clue on that one) Death Star. (The thing one of the clerks has been wondering about is of course that if it's being constructed you would have all these innocent construction workers getting killed when the Rebels blow it up)
In this scene, two guys from the Star Wars universe discuss Clerks and Mallrats. I for one thought that was hilarious, so will check out more of this movie.
At my company we transport gigabit ethernet and HDTV over fibre (up to 20 GBE/100MB ethernet/RS422 or 40HDTV/SDI/SDH/SONET/whatnots per single mode fibre. Mix and match what you need). Longest link I've tested is 120km of fibre (in my office).:-)
Why this burning desire to stop other people from using alternative systems? I would think a crowd like slashdot would appreciate the burning need some of us geeks in this world have for toying with things like computers, and just so you know, I DO NOT CONSIDER WINDOWS TOY-WORTHY!;-)
My mother used to say that if you don't have anything nice to say you should shut up, and while I think this is a bit extreme I am inclined to agree. If you would rather play with your Windows XP machine (or whatever) than have a go at AmigaOS4 PPC (which I presume you haven't read ANYTHING about, because we can't ruin a good argument with facts, can we?) then that's your call. I'm not going to even HINT at what I think about that decision (;-) ), all I'm asking is that YOU don't try to force ME to make the same decision.
You not understanding why geeks like to play with geeky toys would be ok if this was the NY Times or something, but it's frelling slashdot, for crying out loud. You know, "News for Nerds."? Why is mainstreaming so important to slashdotters? Are we just a teensy bit afraid of standing out in a crowd?

Remember the dinosaurs?
No, that must have bit a few years before my time.

All in all I think this is a really cool idea.
