I know, I know, you read all this and you're saying, but what about the time it takes.... Yeah you're right, but you gotta deal with that. Start it and walk away, or check your email, or read/. I'm sure you can find something to do for an hour.
I remember back in the 'good old days', it used to take my computer about 5 hours to encode just one single track.
It was a 486 25dx (clocked to 33mhz.. amazing). I used to run l3enc overnight on a WAV file that took up half of the hard-drive.
Pentium 150's where out at the time, but I was a lowly student that couldn't afford such a beast of a computer. (They where so fast, they required a FAN!)
So I've had lots of practice...
The moral of this story might be that no matter how long it takes to do something, someone will do it. However the real moral is that I most likely had to much spare time as a student, and probably should have done more work...
The Obvious way of doing this is to make cards with a higher transmit power
While that will get you more range, I believe in this case it's better to stay with the lower output. Higher power transmitters will just cause more inteference to everyone.
At 30mw, you can get good coverage of a small office or home. And if you need more range, that same 30mw can get you a few miles with the proper antennas.
I have a 100mw Linksys AP, and a 30mw Orinoco card in the laptop - I can get a signal 5 houses away. Normal users don't even need that range!
I can see the uses for the processing power, for applications like VTun. A 486 just couldn't run that with encryption or compression turned on. Certainly not at the speeds a wireless link can manage.
The extra layer of encryption ontop of WEP is always helpful.
I don't know much about Cartoon Network over in the states, but here in the UK things are actually improving. We now have an extra channel 'CNX' which shows a lot of anime stuff, some live-action movies (lot of hong-kong action movies) and the more adult cartoons that they wouldn't put on the regular channels.
As far as I know, Cowboy Bebop has never been shown in the UK before this channel.
It's very annoying watching made-for-advert shows on a non-advertising TV channel.
Something dramatic would happen, then before it's concluded the screen fades to black... Then the exact same scene happens over again!
Perhaps I'm easily annoyed...
I'd love to be able to sue Sky TV in the UK for using such a low-bitrate on there digital channels. It ruins the program almost as much as adverts and those stupid brain-dead logos they put in the corner.
"It's helps identify the channel"
What do I look stupid? You think I don't know what channel I'm watching?!
I remember reading up on satellite signals some time ago, and how it said as the signals are such a high frequency (11-12Ghz) that they begin to show some of the properties of light. Most importantly that they cannot pass through as many objects. (Or something similar to that, I don't know much about the physics).
My question is, how much would a heavy rain/hail/snow shower affect a long range link at these high frequencies?
Why do they mention the OS at all? If it doesn't work on all OSes which support SCSI out of the box they must have done something horrible wrong which violates SCSI standards
hehe, like that Linksys WAP11 Access Point I just bought.. which according to all the web shops in the UK, requires Win98/XP/2k. Oh, and 100mb of hard-drive space.
I wonder how the workplace environment affects that 99.5% accuracy rating. I don't know about anyone else, but most computer mice I've seen seem to be dirt magnets.
They didn't seem to mention price.. from the description, it sounds expensive!
Those cheap NiCd batteries you mention probably would survive two nights on Mars. Remember it's a lot lot colder there, and the temperature variations are quite extreme.
I'd say a fair bit of dust settled on the solar panels aswell, causing them to be less efficent.

Announcing the announcment! It's gotta be impressive!

oggenc by default will try to write it's output into the same folder as the soure. You can change the output, at the expense of doing multiple files:
Naming:
-o, --output=fn Write file to fn (only valid in single-file mode)
Looks like Microsoft have 'switched'.
NO!!, if you use vtun than why using also WEP!! you can disable it!
Call me paranoid!
It dosen't hurt anything by having both, so we do.

With the exception of Channel Five, none of the UK terrestrial analogue broadcasters use an on-screen logo.
This never stopped anyone from tuning in the TV just fine. Besides, how often do you need to do that? Once every few years?

Carry on!
It looks like your trying to drive! Would you like some help?

Hey why's my screen all blue ...
It's a simple api, and the audio quality comes out okay for voice too. (unless you try sending music through, then it really just craps out)
It is indeed really easy to use. But one thing I've noticed is the encoder uses a *LOT* of CPU time. My P3/800 was maxed out while encoding.
Perhaps this is just something I've done. What kinda processing power did your own project need? (While encoding)

what's to say this is "unbreakable" - it's only secure so far ;)
Right,
Even photons must create some gravity. It would be possible to detect them if the detector was sensitive enougth.
Yes, it's very unlikely. The forces would be almost non-existant, and the air around it and the detector itself would probably generate more noise.
But not impossible.
w00t!
Strange sound for a rocket!
A more likely story is someone had a curry the night before

I don't know the group you mentioned, but here is a slightly related link.
Very interesting stuff.
You can also check out military, air traffic, even natural phenomenon like solar flares, lightning storms, and things.
Ohh what's the frequency of lightning? I know there is a common one but I never did find out where it is.

Anybody know when this movie is going to be shown in the UK?
you are an idiot.
:)
Yep, but at least I'm not an anonymous idiot
Be proud of your idiotness!
The international telephone prefix for the USA is 1, because we invented the telephone. Same deal here.
.. 1 is still a prefix.
Not the same deal
