You need to try out Miller Puckette's Pure Data. It's an open source dataflow language for audio and video processing, capable of such goodies as pitch and event detection, phase vocoding, granular synthesis, and interactive composition. Miller was the person who invented the popular Max software, which is expensive but widely recieved in academic circles. Pd is capable of anything you can imaging. See more on the Pd Wikipedia page.
"Hey, I don't remember this button. I wonder what it does? [click]...."
That's a really kind, articulate thing to say. If you actually read the article, you'd realize the intensity and horror of the event. I'm glad that your life has been so blessed that you haven't experienced anything so terrible in it, but please be sensitive to the fact that people lost their lives. Maybe next time you should think about being more courteous about tragedies such as this?
why doesn't anyone wonder about the possible freedoms that systems such as these have the potentional to decimate? 1000+ cameras = a lot of surveilance. on the other hand, why not ask the uk, who already has quite a few security cams covering most of the public square meterage?
Using high-tech materials and a low-tech concept inspired by the human body...
hmmmm, i've always thought of the human machine as one of the most awesome technological constructions to have ever existed. hell, a machine that can make its own machines!
why would a child be looking at porn in school? how is he gonna jerk off when there's a librarian in the midst? these stupid assumptions that children will use the internet connection at school for such activities are preposterous! are the faculty really so inadequate at monitoring children that they need software to help them?
perhapse we are headed toward a new era, from which our descendents will look back upon previous times and think of how backwards our ideas of privacy were. the pursuit of truth is hindered by human interference (lies, cover ups, and propaganda). maybe if the playing field were equal and all was bared for the population to observe, our society would be bettered morally and historically. if everything is documented, it can be possibly recreated in computer simulation later on, leading to accurate virtual worlds for the students of the future to explore and interact with. of course, this would never work because the people in control will want their lives to remain private, so it will end up being a one way mirror for them to keep track of the flock while their own caste is free from public scrutiny.
Going wireless would be the ultimate solution to digging up and replacing fiber optics when faced with groggy bandwidth. Instead of painstaking labor, the customer could buy a newer, more sensetive recieving/broadcasting antenna and download newer, more refined data compression algorithms that make the most of our radio spectrum.
some say that there is not enough processing power for ECHELON to monitor communications effectively. however, the combined processing power possible with today's networks have produced calculation speeds reaching the terraflop domain, and this is what is publicly known. assuming that classified computing is five to ten years ahead of declassified computing, we're getting close to having networks of computers advancing towards neural-net capabilities i.e. artificial intelligence.
remember that according to the british government of the 18th century, george washington was a "terrorist." ECHELON's potential for abuse outweighs its usefulness by about a cubic centimeter of a neutron star.
i remember reading a bit back on slashdot about a group called gpulp. it's some kind of consortium to solve p2p problems using the classic open-source method. check it out here.
so you're saying that the friction from the breaks against the tires can conserve the battery's energy? this makes sense, it would surely increase the lifespan of the battery's charge and yes, if the laws of thermodynamics were null, city driving would probably produce nearly more energy than expended...
yeah i had that idea a while back to use the force feedback to control the settings for various sex toys that would go along with dvd porn and possibly 3d rendered sex games. it sure would make a lot of money, maybe a patent is in order.

so what, will pepsico and coca-cola sue natural springs because the free water interferes with their ability to push a product?

yeah i have to agree that until the prices fall, the fish won't bite.
quite an alegation you make there. where'd you hear that, on the drudge report?

i have a cd that is scratched, will the record company please send me a free replacement for my "liscensed media?"
interesting comment, how on earth can ms prove something when proving it is illegal?!? hah!
