In any case, I'm still skeptical of these devices working in any vehicle with the windows down. Ok, maybe I should just fix the a/c, but there's something to be said for fresh air.
I was thinking the same thing (I don't have a/c), but a fan blowing directly in your face is somewhat similar to driving with the windows down so I was hoping the noise cancellation actually does work, but it doesn't matter since I don't have the extra cash to pick up this device and a blue tooth phone.
I guess the easy option is getting a new car and going into debt. You don't need cash on hand for that.;)
"One of the Bluespoon's selling points (besides the amazing size and battery life) is the fact that it has a built in DSP (digital signal processor) that helps cancel noise. In my fan test there was a noticeable drop in fan noise whenever I talked indicating that the noise canceling really does work. Cool stuff."
Back in the day at Purdue University my first course in Structured Programming used QBasic. The book was written by two fine professors at Purdue University Calumet that I have had the privilege of studying under.
I just googled the professors name with QBasic and came up with a new textbook at Amazon. Although I haven't seen it myself I'm sure it will be very useful.
what do the people who can't afford cable do then? For quite a lot of people who work on minumum wage/on welfare, etc., the minimum package cost of satellite or cable is still too expensive.
1) They don't watch TV. 2) They read lots of books instead. 3) They become smarter than the vegetables sitting on the couch watching TV. 4) They get out of min wage/welfare and make more money than the vegetables. 5) They spend the money they made on Cable and get trapped along with the rest of the vegetables.
If you like the work SplashDamage has done for this game you should go check out Q3F. Just about everyone at SplashDamage started out in the industry by creating Quake 3 Fortress. It is a great mod and they are still involved with it. They will be releasing Q3F 2.3 soon.
Now we just need a dropoff in the amount of people that take 6 weeks worth of classes and think they are "certified". Maybe then my resume won't get lost in the mile high stack of useless ones.
I'm beginning to wonder what percentage of new Slashdot stories deal with google. Google seems to be a topic just as active as Microsoft. Maybe it is time for a Google section?
I think they modded it insightful because i said "Not for long".
The music industry is doing everything they can to make sure you don't do anything with THEIR music. Even though you BOUGHT it. They could care less about fair use. I can easily see a day when the average person is unable to legally make a copy because of the DMCA and pervasive DRM.
In case you missed it, I was being sarcastic when I said "We can't have that now can we???"
There have been quite a few posts asking about cameras that can see through clothing. One even calling it an April's fools joke. Here is an article about Video Voyeurs from CyberCrime. If I remember correctly the infrared on the cameras work best in bright sunlight looking at tight dark clothing.
All of what you've said about markoff's libelous reporting is fine & dandy... But, do you have any way to prove it?
He proved it in his answers. that I had broken into the computers at NORAD (which aren't even connected to any network on the outside) The very fact Markoff makes false claims such as these makes him even less believable.

IBM: That does it! Shenanigans! Shenanigans!!!
SCO: What are you doing?
IBM: I'm declaring Shenanigans on you. This lawsuit is rigged.

According to the article...
"One of the Bluespoon's selling points (besides the amazing size and battery life) is the fact that it has a built in DSP (digital signal processor) that helps cancel noise.

The workers laid off by the cotton loom didn't like it either, but see where they are today
In a grave???
I guess you didn't see this in the beginning of the article.
"While the concept of honeytokens may not be new (think Cliff Stoll and The Cuckoo's Egg), the term is."
By placing arsenic in your water bottle that you leave in the refrigerator, you can tell who's been pilfering your lunch.

I prefer to use a bottle of honey. You catch more people that way. I even tried vinegar, but honey works best
I'm putting my money on the Viagra sponsored rocket. I'm sure they can get it up faster than any other team ;)
Except now, you had bums popping in a quarter, and having a free room for the night.
Free cookies to the first person that sees what's wrong with this sentence.
Ok, I will tell you, but do I have to give you a quarter to get the free cookies???

4) They get out of min wage/welfare and make more money than the vegetables.
5) They spend the money they made on Cable and get trapped along with the rest of the vegetables.
See, it all works out in the end.

This story would have been much cooler if it was

This brings a whole new meaning to A/S/L
When they ask you could always tell them "It is easy to guess".

Looks like Fastsilicon.com isn't that fast
I don't think I want to share 70-Mbit/s with everyone using the service within a 50 kilometer range.

Yeah right....
More like "Oh shit we are being slashdotted. Take the site down!"

Heck, then I can compress it myself in whatever format I choose.
Not for long. That would be a "Copy".
We can't have that now can we???
Dude, Where's my flying car?
because if and when it gets noticed, they'll still be easily found in the cube on the third floor, east wing.
