This is about computers that make sounds in response to some events. For instance, you have some keyboard activity going on, and it makes "klcktyclck". Or, if there's a disk activity, you hear "vzzhhhshhhhhhrrrrrr". In case you have a modem, you may hear something like "brr-lpghr-wayrddtthzhiieeuuaoeiou". This thing is set up so you know what's going on with your computer without having to monitor the logs all the time. --
"Our" solar system? Who the heck are you
to call it "ours"?
We can call it "ours", because it's ours.
Why? Oh, indeed. We've got the NUKES!
We will colonize the Solar System, we will mine the asteroids, we will build the space stations. We will discover origins of the solar system, the universe, and the life, or just dump garbage there, as we see fit. And you will be permitted to watch from distance. Maybe. --
Ah, I see. Pet rats. I tend to classify everything that can be found in a pet shop as a "hamster". If it's furry, that is. If it's not furry, it's either a goldfish or a canard, depending on whether it swims or flies. If neither, it's a "rock". --
You didn't see a real rat, then. Maybe those that you know are, but those that I know are definitely not. They are scary. One of them nearly killed a member of my family. Two of them would certainly kill him.
IF I EVER SEE YOU I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!

Bacteria are not cute. Abuse of animals which are not cute doesn't count. For instance, you can abuse a rat and it's ok. Rats are not cute. OTOH hamsters are cute, so don't even dream about abusing one without PETA (that other PETA) screaming bloody murder. Hope it helps. --
Don't you worry! They're only allowed to hunt people (at least 180 cm/5'10'', 75kg/165 lb, no pregnant or breast-feeding females) who make bad puns about other people's less-than-perfect English. --
There are two poles. The North pole and the South pole. You can apply this technique
to either one. You only need the pole and two nearby stars lying on the same straight line (or rather on the same big circle of the celestial sphere). --

Great. You buy the ultimate creativity toy, and then ask for somebody else's plans. Let me tell you something. You don't need no fucking plans. You have your right ear, and your left ear, and (hopefully) some grey matter in between. So lift your ass from that sofa and start building, or else donate your set to somebody who really needs it.
A method and apparatus that utilises speech recognition in order to terminate computer programs.
What is claimed is:
A device, comprising of a computer, a microphone, a sound card, and a computer program that controls the operation of said sound card, which upon receiving an audio signal of predetermined quality, terminates other program running on said computer.
A device, comprising of a computer, a microphone, a sound card, and a computer program that controls the operation of said sound card, which upon receiving an audio signal of predetermined characteristic, performs a hard reboot of said computer
A device of claim 1, where said computer program can recognize a plurality of audio signals and terminate any of a plurality of predetermined set of computer programs according to the signal given
A device of claim 1, where said computer program can recognize a plurality of audio signals and present a menu of choices on the screen of said computer, together with means of navigating said menu by issuing voice commands, whereas the plurality of items of said menu represent the plurality of processes running on said computer
Preferred embodiment: a user runs one of a plurality of "trojan horse" programs that offer the user to show a pornographic image after the user presses ten keys simultaneously, and then warns the user that the hard disk of the computer will be reformatted after one of the keys is released. The user then invokes one of the termination functions which are offered by the presented device.

This type of system would require an existing Satelite system, such as "Galaxy."
More precisely, this type of system would require a defunct Satelite system, such as "Galaxy". Or a hardware hacker willing to show you how to make a 2.4GHz antenna. --
This IS protected by fair use.
Um, no, it isn't. The trademark law basically says "don't use other people's trademarks if such use leads to confusion between you and these other people". Now, if you're creating a parody of the logo, you are using the logo. The confusion part should make TFC safe, because nobody's going to confuse TFC with idealab!, or TFC's products with idealab!'s ("heck, can you ever form a possessive of something that ends in exclamation point?"'s a gratuitous joke inserted in the middle of a sentence to make you laugh) products.

My French is next to non-existant, but it seems that sales of imported DVD movies are out, not import for personal use. Is it true?
