What this looks like it does is throw off the error correction used by cd-rom drives but not mess up the error correction used by a regular cd player. So couldn't you just get a digital dump of hte raw data, then doapasover it using whatever error correction a cd player would have used?
Well, solar cells work a bit differently, though I forget the specifics right now. Something about the light bumping electrons off of metal alloys (I could be getting mixed up with chlorophyl). Either way, if a material could be created that could convert heat directly into electricity (like a solar cell does with light) then the efficiency of any reactor would go up. Note that I am not saying that the heat -> electricity conversion would have to be 100% efficient so it shouldn't violate the laws of thermodynamics.
You really shouldn't be posting good stuff like that at AC:) One question, how hard is it to separate out the different types of hydrogen? Eventually that should be considered when discussing the break even point.
Plus in order to use a stack scanner on a book, wouldnt you need to cut out each individual page, or slice all the pages at once at the binding? So in order to copy the book you must destroy it. If you're selling copied books on a large scale that would work, but the average person would never copy books under those conditions.
Screw that, I read constantly and I'll only buy paperbacks. Besides been too expensive, hardcovers are just harder to read. Its impossible to get confortable in any position besides sitting strait up with a hardcover, forget laying in bed or in a hammock and reading.
The problem is that 60hz is the exact freqency needed to cause an involuntary clenching in your muscles (especially your hand), if we changes the frequency it would probably be safer.
The thing I always liked about OSC is that his novels and stories have very strong morality (or sometimes a strong lack of morality) without forcing religion down your throat. Actually his novels have been critical of organized religion before.
Terra server runs just fine on SQL and Windows. Bash Microsoft in areas they deserve it, these immature comments about MS products are incorect and counterproductive. There are plenty of true things about MS you could pick on them for without having to make shit up.
More like text editor for people who have better things to do than learn cryptic editor commands, if I wanted to do that shit, I'd still be using edlin.
He did say IT though, not Comp Sci or programming. In my comp sci education I learned nothign about IT other than what I did on my own. I would assume U of U would be similar.
Yes every individual has th eright to say what they want, free speech etc.... But no one has a right to FORCE me to listen or a right to make me use my resources to pay attention. I have a right not to listen and installing spam filters on my e-mail account is one way of saying "I'm not listening". By your argument its immoral when I don't pickup the phone when the caller ID is blocked/unavailable b/c its a telemarketer. I am obviously violating their right to free speech by not listening to whatever ad they are pushing on me. Or when I throw away my daily dozen credit card offers unopened, I should open them and read them carefully so as not to violate Citibank's free speech.

Censorship is good (or at least acceptable) when it is an individual censoring what he himself sees, or censoring what others can see with their consent. Its bad when that individual is censoring what others can see and those other people have no say in the matter. So an ISP that advertised itself as spam free because it was going to block relays is being on the up and up about what its doing. If it just goes ahead and does it without consulting its customers than that could be a problem. Yes, I know I have abused the normal definition of censorship.

Actually in order to be a Rush reference it would have to say "The words of the PROFITS", which is what it actually was in "Spirit of the Radio". "The words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls" was from a 60s song, Simon and Garfunkle I think.
Why shouldn't the company help out a little? If you worked in a machine shop and a new machine came it it would be the company's responsibility to train you. So in a programming environment where new languages/environments etc are coming out constantly why shouldn't the company invest the money to get the most out of its workers. Its easier to pay to train people then to fire the ones who don't learn on ther own and get new people. So even from a costs/benefits viewpoint its good business sense not just a handout.
You could use the same argument against a kid watching Indiana Jones. Actually, I watched it when I was young and I think I knew enough to understand that Nazis were bad, and I did play Wolf3d when I was young too.
Thats funny, my company's site gets a few hundred thousand hits per day (10 to 20 thousand unique users) and runs fine off a $500 gateway server with 256MB of ram running IIS/ASP and SQL 2000.
Some backwards states (PA comes to mind, and I live there) have been pretty slow about putting the magnetic sensors on, so there are thousands of lights still on timers. I never go through them at night, I am too paranoid about cops, but it is very frustrating, especially since DE next door has replaced nearly all of their timer lights.

Just so you know I got a Mac Cube for $1100. You seem to be inflating the price to make your point
How can they expect 100% compliance from Napster when video tape/cd-r and mini disc manufacturers have never had a burden like that placed on them.

How about sticking it in a 1 pixel IMG SRC on a page?

Don't forget the weather balloons that go off course and end up hovering over the lock at low altitudes.
The only other games in that era I remember with speech were "Impossible Mission" (or was it "Mission Impossible" and Beach Head II for the C64.

Except accordong to a lot of other comments here it ISN'T theft if you are a citizen of Canada. So Blame Canada.

I live in Delaware County. Its about as backwards as Philly :) The roads suck in many respects here, not just for the sensors.
