19.2 kbps is pretty slow. I had Ricochet before that, and it sometimes hit 256 kbps, never below 64. I wonder if there's something more, or if this is typical government stupidity.
So why are they talking about building these receivers into the devices? Why not have replacable battery packs with these integrated? I don't know how large the effective charge field is, but since most electronic device shells are plastic, there should be no penetration issues. The only problem I could see is that it takes size from the battery, but how small can you get a coil and four diodes?
I can use wifi on my handheld just fine. HAH! I'm not lying either. Nice little CF card, and I can tap away for a couple of hours minimum (that's continuous use). External battery sleeves make it easy to stay powered yet free, or I could always plug in if I needed.
That's correct. I probably should have been more specific, but I'm an electrican engineer by schooling, and when someone says "PCB", I think board, not nasty chemical.
The biggest problem with immersion based oil cooling is that it tends to soften PCBs. I suppose that, if you never really jiggle the setup, it will pretty much remain where you leave it (especially if you keep the oil cold and viscious), but it could cause problems.
Gotta bite. Being drunk is not a habit held only by humans, even without human intervention.

I thought it was interesting, but not really related to your (very good) argument. Carry on please.
You are a probably a troll. That comment was marginally off topic (though it did, as the article, deal with math). However having cleaned the coffee off my monitor and keyboard, washed my face, gotten a clean shirt, and explained to the rest of the office that I was just laughing, not having a heart attack. I've added you to my friends list and probably blown a few karma points. Thanks.
Yes, this would be an example of what a previous posted said about hiring an incompetent administrator. The additional overhead of routine administration of 1000 nodes is not significantly more than 10. Don't give users the rights to install software. That solves 98% of your spyware, crapware, and virus problems. It's not more common because there are a lot of features regularly used that you simply don't have experience with.
MANHASSET, N.Y. -- Samsung SDI Co. has partnered with Vitex Systems Inc. to market displays based on organic light emitting diodes that the two companies claim are 50 percent lower in weight and thickness than any other commercially available display. Samsung, which has been pursuing OLEDs volume production, will provide funding for the specialized design and engineering activities of Vitex's Barrier Engineering Program. Samsung said its goal is to explore whether the technology can be produced for encapsulation of full-color, active-matrix OLEDs.
Vitex's proprietary Barix thin-film coating is designed to enable manufacturing of thinner, lighter displays for the mobile device market, said Ho-Kyoon Chung, Samsung's senior vice president. "We believe that Vitex's Barrier Engineering Program holds the potential to be the fastest, most cost-effective way for Samsung SDI to achieve a thin-film encapsulation solution for our OLED displays," he said.
Broad adoption of OLEDs has been impeded to some extent by a key manufacturing challenge: the organic matter's sensitivity to moisture and oxygen, which can quickly destroy an OLED display if unprotected.
Vitex's thin-film technology creates a moisture and oxygen barrier that is potentially as effective as a sheet of glass, without the added bulk, according to the company. Using Vitex's Barix encapsulation, display manufacturers can deposit, in situ, a thin-film coating directly on top of the OLED material on a glass substrate.
The procedure would eliminate the need for a glued-on-metal can or extra sheet of glass. The resulting thinner, lighter display is expected to deliver higher reliability at a significantly reduced manufacturing cost.
"The Barix technology developed by Vitex has significant potential to help further propel widespread industry adoption of OLEDs, which have emerged as a promising candidate in the production of zero-border, super-thin displays," said Ross Young, president of DisplaySearch (Austin, Texas). The market research firm projects that global sales of OLEDs will grow from $112 million in 2002 to $3.1 billion by 2007.
"Working closely with Samsung SDI will enable us to create a customized solution that best suits their production needs. This will in turn allow Samsung to cost-effectively provide mobile device OEMs with extremely thin, lightweight, high-quality OLED displays," said Michael Sullivan, president of Vitex (San Jose, Calif.).
Vitex, a spin-off of advanced research laboratory Battelle Memorial Institute, has been involved in the development of Barix encapsulation for the past three years. Through its Barrier Engineering Program, Vitex said it could customize the Barix coating for the specific performance requirements of an individual manufacturer's OLED displays.
"Even there, do I need more than, say 20GB on a palm pilot?" Factor in constant gps tracking on your palm (A neat new idea no ones done that I know of), Maybe throw some video/mp3 storage (recording?) on there since everyone likes integration.. 20gb sounds great.
I do. Well, it's a pocket pc, but I do it. What I really want is topo maps and surface images, with GPS tracking overlay. That would push pretty much everything.
I don't suppose there's an automatic "+5, absolute riot" mod? Everyone in the office is staring at me, and I can't stop laughing. You're going to get me in fired, but I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nukuler warfare (I love Bush, but that accent begs the joke). Yes, after thoroughly destroying your joke, I get it. Sorry 'bout that.
Yes, very constant, but not absolute. The speed of light varies with the media it travels through. For a familiar example, light travels at a different speed through air than water. That's why when you stand above a swimming pool and look at something on the bottom, it is not actually where it appears to be.
Ouch. Best way to do the USB hard drive thing that I've found is to use one of the 4200 rpm laptop drives in it. No way USB will max that out. Reinforce the case (I make them myself) and they're nearly indestructable when unpowered.

Mod this man up. If they're not geek chicks, they need to stay out of my personal space.

You could alternatively disable the themes service:Easy.
He's still concerned about their strength. And it's a PITA even making the ones in wood. But they look cool.
Can't see anything there. All it says is that it requires flash. I keep a standards compliant browser.

How lovely.
As far as I know, small claims court verdicts can't be used as precedent at all. This may just apply to cases in Texas, though.
I do. Well, it's a pocket pc, but I do it. What I really want is topo maps and surface images, with GPS tracking overlay. That would push pretty much everything.
They're making the C3 cores for low power consumption devices, like mini-itx all-in-one boards.

Okay, that's just pathetic. Thanks for sharing.
