After the government takes 40% in taxes + the lawyer takes his 50% in fees, he will have about $2.4M in cash. Buy an aparment in Tokyo for $1M, and that will leave $1.4M.. Enough for a few lavish vacations and then its back to work.
One thing that bugs me about voip is the latency. It deadens the conversation and often leads to collisions between 2 people speaking. QOS in routers can probably solve this problem in the future, but for now there is not much one can.
I set up an asterisk box about 2 weeks ago, configured it to peer with about 10 different voip providers, and have been testing/logging one way and round trip latency.
A typical land line can experience between 60-90ms of latency. I found that latency on voip lines range from 90-250m (IAX2,ulaw codec, optonline cable modem service). We also did a test using 2 Skype clients (both on optonline's network). The latency was about 280ms.
I will be posting results on the voip-info.org wiki soon.
It's not about how smart you are, it's what you do with your smarts. INTP's think well "outside of the box", but in order to deal effectively with people, you also how to know how everyone else thinks "inside the box." My suggestion would be to go to college, meet some friends, have fun, increase your social skills, improve your good intuition and most importantly your common sense. You will end up a more "well rounded" person with excelelnt technical/analytical skills as a bonus.
That will put you a cut above the thousands of technical geniuses out there.
I can see tons of personal injury lawsuits resulting from someone wacking the next person in the head while reading their SMS's, or even worse, stabbing someone in the eye with the antenna.
A long time ago, I tried this with a 12" lens and some fiber optics bought from Radio Shack (yes, they did have a fiber optic kit... 15+ yrs ago!) There was no significant heat felt at the other end of the strand. The fiber optic was made of plastic though... That medium may not have been optimal for transfer of light/heat in the IR range.
My other idea (keep in mind, I was only 14 at the time) was to build a system of mirrors and lenses utilizing the fresnel lens to concentrate sunlight to a point, then bounce it off a mirror into another set of lenses which would project the light at a distant focus... thus resulting in a DEATH RAY.
Be careful what you are asking for. It's going to be a lot harder for spamassassin and antivirus programs to detect incoming spam and email worms when they are encrypted with your gpg key.
It doesn't have to be spelled the same. They can make an argument that it is confusingly similar.
A few years ago Altavista's lawyers snatched away our domain (altavisa.com) in a WIPO dispute. I believe their lawyers went around filing suits in bulk against every possible misspelling of altavista.com. Even though we had a big disclaimer on the top of my web page claiming that "THIS IS NOT ALTAVISTA. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO TO ALTAVISTA.COM CLICK HERE" the arbitrators felt that it was not sufficient to distinguish the site from Altavista... that users who misspelled altavista.com would be "misdirected" to the site.. at which point the "damage" would have already been done. Well, the reverse domain hijacking sort of put a small dent on our plans to offer co-branded VISA credit cards.
Today, if you try and access altavisa.com, you are misdirected to altavista.com

I have read, on avsforum, about people who are using a specific sheet plastic (bathroom shower) material bought from the Home Depot for HT screens. They rave about how much better it is than commercial Draper or Dalite screens.
You might want to try that before dropping some dough on a commercial roll-up screen that is either too reflective/not enough or rolls down unevenly.
I went the homebrew route with my motorized drop-down screen ( http://techfreakz.org/~rolan/ht ) because it had to be wife-friendly.
If I could leave the screen down all the time, or find a way to hide when not in use, I'd probably go with the plastic shower material.
There is actually a green sand beach on the big island of Hawaii. It is little known, and difficult to get to, but a long drive down an unpaved road, and two or so mile hike will get you to it.
I once met an minerologist gathering samples there. He told me the beach was green because of a large olivine vein which was eroded over the years by the ocean waves.

I quickly snapped some pics of Mars tonight before the storm clouds rolled back in. This is probably what you can expect to see through a pair of binoculars or telescope throughout the middle of August.

Oh, and you don't have to live in a dark area to see it. The pics were taken 15 miles outside of NYC.
Ferric Chloride is pretty corrosive. I've started using a Cupric Chloride solution to do etching. The stuff is reusable, and due to the chemical reaction, the resulting etched copper sludge can combine with the free H+ in the solution to form... more Copper Chloride! It doesn't seem to be as corrosive as FeCl, and because it's reusable, you don't have to pour it down the toilet when you're done.

Wouldn't the remote also turn on all the televisions which were originally off?
Heh, I guess it's back to Star Trek after priceline kicked him out. Is Spock coming back as well?
So, when can I buy a 24pk of Vostok?

At $20 for a 4x8 sheet, it's worth a try.

Nice toy.
The only thing missing on it is a GPS and bottle opener.
I just tried and the answer is YES and NO.
They are still readable in my PC's CDROM
but not in the DVD player (which was able to
successfully play them before).
I left my CDR's out for about 3 weeks and
check out the results:

These are name brand CDR's exposed to the
sun for only an hour or two each day.
(mod this up guys, people need to be warned).
I did an aquarium monitor roughly a year ago.

Microsofties should stay away from usenet and stick with yahoo groups or something.
I believe to successfully handshake you need to also import the connecting party's public key.
So, just posting your key+ip isn't going to cut it.
Does anyone know the name of the song & band that does the song in the trailer?
It's also used in the "Time & Tide" trailer - a pretty good Hong Kong action movie by Tsui Hark. Check it out.
