Maybe you can use a microphone to see if it can capture the 20khz waveform from the speakers... which will show you either you speaker cannot generate 20khz or your microphone cannot capture 20khz, or, you can for both...
Most AC97 chips have multiple output pins and windows 7 has good control of the audio system now... can output ultrasonic on laptop speakers while still putting the user audio on the headphones.
I'd think that depends on the weight of the solar panels... they'd have to be more efficient then the cost to carry them. And I'm sure light panels would not make this $500,000 plane any cheaper.
I can see this running dandy on stripped down nt kernel with minimal userland... but QNX, RToS, FreeBSD, Linux, Plan9, VxWorks, Hurd all have much better geek factor. I think I would do Plan9.
Except what the overclocker considers a flaw in the chip or process is not necessarily so... it could be an easy way to save costs while staying in the design parameters. This heat issue sounds to me like the issue is caused by removing some over-engineering in thermal conductivity to save money - maybe at the expense of some overclockers - but has nothing to do with the main user base. AMD doing or not doing the same does not mean they are doing/not doing something more right then Intel. Intel may be able to ramp up the clock speed by again changing the thermal interface material or heat spreader to a more exotic material for the higher end chips. They may also be able to simply change the layout on the die and spread out the hot spots.
I think you are trying to find importance where there is not. I mean do you not think Intel's R&D department has limited access to the engineering skills or materials that a lowly hobbiest does? This same mentality should also be applied to performance auto parts purchases...
You do realize every wifi radio recieves every bit on the same frequency of every in range device regardless of if it is encrypted or on the same SSID. The fact that it's not presented to YOU is because some engineer decided it was irrelivant is a symantec. If you send it, every device on the same frequency recieves it. If it does anything with your pattern of bits is up to the device. This is physics.
The fact that the bits you transmitted form a discernable pattern using known standard which has personal importance to you is no reason that you should expect such data to be private... I mean it's not like they tuned their recievers to a frequency you are of some expectation to have rights over. Their recievers (however they are programmed to recieve) have equal right to the band your wifi is transmitting on.
The analogy of a peeping tom is more like a couple in a glass house made of one way mirrors and people looking, some taking pictures or videos, and some taking pictures or videos of an attraction next door. It is not like using a zoom lens or x-ray. Maybe the users did know they were in plain sight, maybe they didn't... but lets face it.. you have to be pretty ignorant with every device you use warning you insecure networks are insecure...
It is not illegal to listen to a radio scanner or even record... at least not that I am aware.
Making sniffing of wifi illegal is a complete lack of understanding on how the technology works. It is unlicensed spectrum and any bit pattern your wireless device emits will be recieved by every reciever on the same band. At what level is "sniffing" sniffing?!
I suspect that this case will follow the same path as using a scanner to tape and record radio conversations... an act in itself which is not illegal.
I know for sure there is manufacturing in Waterloo, Ontario. I know a few people who worked in manufacturing for RIM. Also, my former neighbour was in support. There is a large community in Waterloo dependant on RIM. They not only employ thousands, they also own much of the real-estate and lease to many businesses which make up a sizable number My current torch is also made in Mexico - which is North American-ish.
If you ask me wall outlets were a very good idea. GPU's are the number 1 reason we have to upgrade our power supplies. And the necessity for power requirements to be correct means that bringing your own power supply can be the source if a plethora of bugs and crash's. Consistent power and precise currents with power hungry 3.5 billion transistor microchip's is a necessity. Pairing the power supply with the board means resolving a very real problem most end customers don't know exists.
I disagree and think it's quite valid to need a new internal power supply when the hardware requirement consumes more power... a seperate power supply means another point of failure and a pain in the ass for nothing really. I wouldn't however buy a new power supply because it doesn't have enough leads or the right type of leads (that do the same thing, but with just a different plug)
On a side note anonymous coward postings deserve score-ability (without which most people never see these posts. However valid they might be.)
How this got modded up is the same reason RIM is failing. They sold a platform that runs only signed code and supports full encryption to users/investors who would rather have a bubble leveling application then trusted applications.
Nobody develops for RIM because it is extremely difficult to do things like change UI elements, send SMS, place calls, use the wifi, bluetooth or camera and make the device cool... the same reasons it's not a target for malware and that many carriers love blackberries.
If RIM ran Android, many Blackberry users would not upgrade and bin their phone.
By turning their service into an app, it too will be vunerable to misuse - I mean how can you control an app that runs on top of a layer that you can completely poke and prod at?
IMHO what RIM needs to do to win the consumer market is fracture their product - have their locked down secure OS or Android option... do not port the existing Blackberry services, but have a competing service for Android that has the same ideas behind it that made RIM sucessful in the first place (like whats app and mobile optimization) but NO CODE REUSE BETWEEN BOTH PLATFORMS! This will never happen as it has no short term gains for the MBAs or stockholders.
Sure, passwords/keys can be changed - but I don't suspect many companies that release closed source software (that they release/make available to partners) are too concerned about their security being completely compromised to the point of needing to rewrite everything due to a source code leak. After all, source code can be patched and re-built... just like passwords and keys changed... and if you don't have the support to get the code changes completed and implimented, you'll still be affected by security related bugs weather the software is open or closed source. There is lots of out of dat open source software with major holes floating around in the wild...
My UAE bank (who's terms of service explicitly say they are not liable for any misuse of their online or telephone banking) automatically enrolled me for their telephone banking.
I am pretty confident that if you never conduct any banking transactions online the courts would find the bank liable if someone hacked into your account and took your money
But yet when you send money that they can not get back to a place you never do, you are responsible?! I use online banking all the time to pay my bills, but not transfer money out of the country.

Suppose that doesn't say much.

Earlobe cancer, that's a thing?? You mean my freakishly large ear lobes can actually be cancer?!
Clearly somebody though May first was April 1st... nothing to see here move along.
Or better yet... how about a cargo ship... they at least don't need to stay in the air.
I'd think that depends on the weight of the solar panels... they'd have to be more efficient then the cost to carry them. And I'm sure light panels would not make this $500,000 plane any cheaper.
Sounds FAN tastic

I am sad to see this thread did not end up with an Obama ate a Kidney comment...
they are on the port-side.
Is it still overclocking if it's running in it's predefined default clocks?!
I mean, you can call it:
overclocking when cool and busy
- or -
underclocking when idle or hot
To me its still just enhanced speed step and good marketing...

But what if you crash the plane?! Just a little bit!?
Sounds like a cool topic for mythbusters!

There are cheap solutions that aren't pretty...
Like this is example you could use to hook it up to a laptop...
