  1. Re:And will this allow for innovation still? on Micro-USB Cellphone Charger Becomes EU Standard · · Score: 1

    It must not have been too difficult because there are some on the market. The Motorola Defy is one such smartphone. It appears from the reviews that the cool thing about it is that along with being highly water resistant, the Motorola Defy actually excels at actually being a decent smartphone. I don't own one, but it doesn't took too bad from the reviews.

    Also, in case you forgot, smartphones typically have "a couple of microphones and speakers" built into them, as well as a camera and a headphone jack. You made it sound as if having "a couple of microphones and speakers" was unique to DSLRs. I don't think a phone work work too well without at least one microphone and at least one speaker.

    It is not just the dark. I have difficulty in the light. In fact, I don't think I could do it in the dark. I thought that normal USB A was hard to figure out which way it should go in, but I have to say that even though Micro USB is at least not a perfect rectangle, I have much more trouble with it.

  3. I wrote something that might help... on Simple Virus For Teaching? · · Score: 1

    I wrote this a few years ago. It is pretty evil, but does not cause any permanent damage to a computer. All it does is add a shortcut to the remote reboot command to the startup so when a user is logged on, the computer reboots. It can be easily removed with msconfig in safe mode. The cool thing is that most Anti-Virus programs ignore it.

    You can download it here, and the removal tool here. I even made an iso that when inserted into a computer with autorun enabled, silently installs the program. The exe's were made with NSIS.
