I assume you are talking about such things as censoring cusswords and things like women's breasts? If that is the case, then you have to remember that the United States is a Christian Nation (tm) and as such, is extremely immature when it comes to things like sex in particular. It's not really the fault of christianity (tm) per se, just the peculiar American implementation thereof. Like the old joke goes, "Why did Australia get all the convicts and America get all the religious nuts? Australia got first choice."
They are all frauds and should be put in jail for it. I seriously doubt that any of them represents any religion other than thier own prejudices. I would have called the website "The Foul Well". I think that would be a little harder to knock down.
Assuming that thing is real and can be made, how long do you think it would take some/.er to jerry rig one of his own in his garage? Looks like cool new way to make a withdrawal from your local "stop and rob".
One simple question: What is to prevent a terrorist from using some other radiofrequency than that of a cell phone? Here's a paranoid fantasy for you: Take two terrorists. One caiies a bomb controlled by a radio tuned to a local broadcast station and programmed to listen for some specific signal. The other has already infiltrated the radio station and on prearrangement sends out the trigger signal.
So basically, you either have to build a faraday cage to completely enclose the are you want to protect or simply add cellphones and radios to the already long list of things being confiscated.
You are confusing chromatography with either fractional distillation or molecular sieve technology.
Chromatography relies on the fact that substances of different molecular weights take different amounts of time to work thier way through a long skinny column which is often coated with various materials to enhance the separation effect. It is almost purely an analytical technique, although there are instances of it being used to separate out very small amounts of material as a purification technique.
Oxygen, nitrogen, argom (and I think) krypton are made from the air. The air is compressed and liquefied, then led to a fractional distillation tower like that found in oil refineries. At various levels, liquid nitrogen, oxygen, etc are drawn off and stored. Sometime, the process is repeated on the products of the first distillation in order to further enhance the purity of the finished product.
Molecular sieve technology is most useful when you want to (say) enrich the oxygen content of the air passing through it; and finds use in the medical field. This is also the process used in reverse osmosis to purify drinking water.
I live out in the boonies where most people use propane for fuel. When my R-22 air conditioner spring a leak, I was able to patch up the leak but the local refrigeration shop wouldn't sell me any R-22 because I don't have a certification. So after a day or two, I hit on the idea of recharging the system with propane which I already had on hand. And it works great. The only downside is [1] propane is inflammable, and [2] I've been told it's illegal. Probably because of [1].
Funny thing is, propane is already used in large industrial chillers, typically in refineries and chemical plants, but elsewhere as well.
The magnets are held between two pieces of iron which completes a magnetic circuit. So the magnetic field is most intense between the two magnets (where the positioning coil swings) and is very weak elsewhere.
So fucking what. Lots of societies that are not christian at all have adopted the use of the gregorian calendar because [1] COMMON use elsewhere, and [2] it is simpler than the other systems out there (You practically have to have a degree in astronomy to work out dates in the Jewish or Islamic systems since they are lunar rather than solar calendars.)
So if you want to wank to the fact that the common calendar started when you favourite superhero was born, go for it. Whoop-tee-doo.
Precisely. And what you have seen (I too, I work in embedded) are very small amounts of memory attached to otherwise competent (for thier indended purpose) CPUs. Although Atmel is starting to come out with thier "ATMega" series of parts which have humongous amounts of flash on them.
I'm just suggesting that nanomemories are a way of scaling up an existing concept (embedded) to large systems (our desktops).
Uhhh, since we're blue-skying it here today, has anybody thought of putting a chunk of this RAM/inside/ the CPU? Consider: A Pentium-class or better CPU with a couple of GB of/nonvolatile/ RAM on chip. You turn on the CPU and the OS of your choice instantly goes into action and whatever app(s) you were running the last time shut off the system come up right away.
Let's put it this way: Some laws were just made to be broken and this is one of them. Sounds to me like you're on a guilt trip or something. Besides which, most MP3s are so inferior to the original that I have always wondered what the fuss is all about anyway. So rip away and enjoy yourself.
Why shouldn't they? After all, both Monopoly money and thier "Linux licence" are equally phoney. Also a great way of expressing contempt for them. If a bunch of slashdotters and other concerened persons all send off for licences but send play money in an envelope as payment, they might catch a clue as to what the rest of the world thinks of them.
Why don't you take the tinfoil off your heads and line your wallet with it then? The tinfoil would make a good RF shield.

The Trouble with RFID
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Has anybody ever thought of making a RFID tag detector? Something that simply emits whatever RF it takes to trigger the tag and listen for a response. (It is not necessary to decode the response, only to note that it is present.)
With such a device you could scan your things and locate and remove the tags.
It shouldn't be too hard for the hardware hackers out there to come up with something like this.
You have it backwards. The V1 was the small unmanned jet airplane (called a "buzzbomb" from the noise its engine made), the V2 was an actual rocket. Both had crude guidance systems.

Blame it on the christians. The self-righteous holier-than-thou jeezuz bleating fundroid hypocrite assholes to be exact. Those folks are downright mental when it comes to sex.

Well, if you're lazy enough to keep your beer fridge next to the la-z-boy, why not keep a piss jug nearby too. Saves even more steps.

Wouldn't fly. Our president couldn't understand any of it; he'd be lost three seconds into the show.
One slight problem. Most CD players are controlled by a programmable microcontroller. The software in the controller times the button press.
So Microsoft loses on both counts.

All you need then is removable storage.
Not to worry, the cancellation -can be- that complete. In practice, there will be some residual noise, but it will be very quiet.

Oh really? I thought that SCO's behaviour is why they made the stuff illegal in the first tplace.
