Get a handheld GPS with a map display. I can know where I am without letting everyone else know. If I need help, I can tell them where I am. Many of the pocket size Etrex units have this feature. I have the Magellan Map 330 and love it. It has paid for itself in gas saved several times. It has gotten me out of traffic tie ups. Road blocked by an accident? just cut into a neighborhood, check map for current location and locate alternate route on the spot. It saves time and gas. This alone made mine better than free. No need to re-fold and store the map when done.;-)
Just maybe I can finaly get a player that comes up with a play button instead of running all the force fed flash advertisements by default.
The lack of basic end user controls to shut the junk off is the only reason I removed Macromedia from my system. It's the only way to make it "off" by default and in many cases the only to stop flash from playing.
The noise to signal ratio by advertisers and the disabling of player controls (unstoppable) blew my fuse. I won't drive a car without brakes, my media player should have the same level of control. No stop and go buttons killed Macromedia for my system.
MS may claim 80% of systems shipped with the player installed, but how many systems have it ripped out afterwards?
Do you have something against the ability to trace the original source in the case of wide spread distribution? No, really. I'm curious
Um, I'm against having to try to change the format into something I can play in my DVD, Rio, Car, etc in a compressed format. I hate jockeying a box of CD's in the car while driving, carying a box of CD's while out hiking, etc. I want the small portable format of MP3's. Liquid Audio is incompatible with my hardware and 8-10 songs per CD is too bulky to carry everywhere. Lugging enough batteries for a weekend hike is bad enough without also lugging along a case of CD's that have to spin 100% of the time to play (battery eater). I prefer a MP3 CD player for hikes as they start once or twice per song vastly extending battery life.
Regarding the brushes in the electric motor... In the Toyota Prius, it's an induction motor/generator. Regarding the brakes and wear regarding the increased weight from the batteries. In the Toyota Prius, it's 110 lbs. The 1.5 Liter engine with the generator/starter and motor/generator and battery is about the same weight as the V6 engine it replaces. So same weight, but most of the braking is done regeneratively, so brakes are saved from wear. Since the gas engine is shut down much of the time, and does not waste fuel idling, the recommended service interval (oil changes) is 7500 miles, not 3000 miles most cars get. Think of the oil saved, not just the gas saved. Even with the savings, it has the get up a go of a typical V6 of the same weight.
Deep cycling batteries is hard on them. Laptops and cell phones are usualy run low when used, or are left on to charge most of the time, also bad. The Toyota Prius has an 8 year warranty on the battery. It's a Nickel Metal Hydride battery. It is designed not to be deep cycled. Running out of gas and going electric only is very hard on the battery. The electric provides short bursts of high torque for merging on freeways, climbing hills, stop and go city traffic, etc. Regenerative braking and the gas engine keeps the batteries up. Gently pulling away from a stop sign leaves the gas engine off until you reach about 10 MPH, then it starts using the generator. No gear grinding cranking noise from this one. The best thing about the Prius is the almost silent engine. It's totaly quiet at stoplights and you don't notice the engine when it starts because the small amount of road noise masks it. In short, I also like the car because I can enjoy my music in it. (Get the CD changer option!)
I'm guessing by "their own way" you mean illegal or illicit way. Sometimes some agreements and intended uses cross paths. For instance after having a copy of MS Office shred itself in a 52X CD on instalation, (legal install BTW), I finished the install from a burned copy of the same software from another machine. By the agreement installing from a backup for another machine is a big No-No as I haven't uninstalled it from the other machine. I have the original scratched (unreturnable) original which I tried to install from to prove one copy per machine, but the install by defination is illegal. I also have a few copies of software picked up at the local Goodwill. These are marked For distribution with a new machine only. I also picked up a USED laptop without the books and disks. I have found original copies with Certificate of Authenticity of OEM Windows 95 and Office 97 Small business edition. Buying all the pieces to assemble the complete system including the software should not be illegal, but it is. Buying the software media seprately should not have been illegal. So by who's deffinetion do you decide whether I have pirated the software. I feel I bought it legaly. It is on original media. I have a sales receipt and Certificate. I feel I have done nothing wrong. I found the missing parts of my laptop and bought them, not stolen them. The BSA and EULA state otherwise. So AM I A THIEF? I do use Right of First Sale software. I assume it has no support and use it with the understanding as Used Part is sold As Is. I should post as AC as the BSA may read/. and think easy target. Just to reduce exposure to Legal action, I am migrating to open source.
I wonder if a TDR or leakage sweep would find the unburied and ripped cable feed in my garden Yes, that's how they find cables cut by sprinkler, installs, new fence posts, etc. They find the bad segment of cable (between amplifiers) and measure the distance to the fault from where they are. For underground cable, a map is useful. The TDR does not have a clue about curves. The cable may go around the shed that isn't there anymore in the yard. Assuming a straight line is a common mistake.
Digital TV is an interactive (handshake required) transmission between components. (tuner-monitor/display) A perfect copy of the data stream will be refused by the digital monitor due to the lack of a handshake when the encrypted stream is fed back to a digital display from a non-lisenced playback device. This is not the analog NTSC or SVGA stuff you are used to. Any recorders will be required (by DMCA etc) to take the Copyrighted copy bit and change it to I am a copy bit when recorded. That copy will not be able to be recorded (2nd generation) to a device (DMCA playback hardware) that will handshake with the monitor. Your encrypted (received by e-mail) film will not play from your hard drive. A burner (DMCA hardware) will not burn it on a DVD for playback. That's the way they have been trying to set up Serial Content Copy Control specification for digital TV. It's to be encrypted with challenge/response communications all the way to the monitor with protection against making a playable copy of a copy. (protected by the DMCA and prevented by the hardware) It will be the same as the SONY Music Minidisk with it's serial copy protection. It's nice, has nice quality, but limited in usefullness and wide spread adoption. MP3's and WAV's on CDR's open format has vastly overtaken SONY's portable music market. Hardware manufactures know the power of the votes of the public dollars and don't want to make hardware that is voted down by the consumers.
Hackers have responded in large numbers to an appeal from the director of a culture center and literary museum on the west coast of Norway.
The password to one of their library archive systems is missing.
The museum built in honour of the famous Norwegian linguist Ivar Aasen received a gift of more than 1600 books and documents which had been catalogued and registered in a national data bank, which researchers and interested people may access.
Only trouble was that the expert who had helped the donor with the archiving work had died, and had failed to pass on the password.
In order to get access to the data base, Director Ottar Grepstad appealed on nationwide radio for help to solve the problem. The response was above expectations, and the director is now busy chosing the expert most likely to solve the problem.

If you do not agree with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are not authorized to use the ReplayTV Service They are selling the service with the restriction, not the box. Use what is in the above quote to not agree to the service, then modify the hardware to suit your needs. Remember to not use their service, that would be theft of service since you did not agree to the terms.
Some people purchase hardware with the intent on using it "their own way". Having your VCR (digital) under a third party's thumb is very scarey. I'll stick with a PC based solution to avoid the big brother problems. The option of subscribing to the program guide, etc. is one thing. Having the ability of a EULA enforced open back door, that can kill your hardware investment remotely, is another!
A proper drop with RG-6 cable going straight into a high-quality TV amp with integrated splitter with the pirate drop hanging off of that (again, with high quality cable and professinoal connections) could eliminate methods one and two, or not? Um, yes, however it also destroys your uplink for your cable modem.;-)
What ever you do, don't use one of the cheap amplifiers in a plastic box. That is a great way to increase the leakage. Use an inline amp in an all metal sealed case. Don't use a 2 way amplifier, they return harmonics of the step signal back to the TDR past the amp.
(I love to tinker with hardware. I dropped cable and have not picked up a dish because the temptation is high to tinker with it. The legal risk dictates I shouldn't have a connection.)
RE, How they found out
on
What Free Cable?
·
· Score: 5, Informative
OK, since you asked, I used to work overseas and we shared a building with the cable folks. I got to know the techs. There is three very popular ways to detect theft of service. The most common is when checking the system for integrety, they find leakage of the signal. Some cable channels share the commercial airline communications frequencies. Picking up cable channels here is interference in violation of FCC rules (USA). Cable companies usualy use 100% shielded RG-6 cable drops to the house. A pirate drop added to a cable system is typicaly done with braided RG-59 which is only 95% shielded. The leakage usualy isn't enought to get a picture outside the home. The cable company does not even try to receive a picture. They use a sensitive narrow band receiver with a yagi antenna and look for leakage of the video, sound or cable FM radio carrier. Video carriers in the aircraft band is the most common leakage detection as they are picked up as part of FCC compliance checks. Midband cable channels A-I are typicaly channels 14-22 and are just above the FM radio band in the aircraft band. 121.5 MHZ is the aircraft emergency frequency. Leakage on that frequency is a big no-no. The second method used are using a TDR and measuring the distance to the end of the cable. A splitter tries to keep the impedance to the source to 75 ohm, but it isn't perfect and show up well on a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry a type of in cable radar checking distance to splitters connections, ends, breaks etc.) A teltale sign of theft of service is the presence of a splitter in the TDR return and two or more diffrent distances to the terminations (6ft to cable modem and 35 foot to TV for instance). The Third method used is the least reliable. At the head end they run one of the channels through a time base corrector with a set drift (slightly off spec horizontal frequency). During a popular program (superbowl, HBO) the van sniffs for TV's exactly matching this offset sweep speed. The catch here a TV with a noisy sweep circuit from a subscriber can swamp a bootleg reciever's signature as it gets buried in the background noise level. Getting a match in sweep frequency from a TV in a house not subscribing to ESPN or HBO in suburbia can result in enough evedince for a search warrant for the illegal decoder. This is very hard to do in apartments, but not too difficult in surburban areas. They only catch those who happen to be tuned in at the time of the sweep. Those who time shift tape are not detected. The head end stuff is very expensive for this so this is a tool of larger cable companies and cable companies that hire the survey from a 3rd party. Leakage tests are the most common theft detection when done in conjunction with tap sweeps. TDR's are used in apartments because the temptation to run a wire to the next apartment is high. With the high density, the time to do a TDR audit has high payback results. Changes in cable response can be tied to duration of a tenant stay to make good cases of theft. The arguement of that was the way it was when I moved in doesn't work if they get two recorded TDR records that show the change after you moved in. As you can see, two of the 3 common detection methods do use an antenna on a van pointed at your house. They look for leakage of the raw cable signal and check the sweep frequency of your TV. TDR sweeps require a tempory outage of the signal and are not done with an antenna on a van.

Ummm. Do research on a fiber optic cable from the South Pacific that comes ashore in Oregon. It is terminated in Hillsboro OR. A major router to tie it into Qwest is here. A streaming media center was built here by Intel. Yes my office proxy machine is connected to it. If Slashdot could post photos, I'd do a screen capture of my speed to DSL reports. The DSL bar on the graph looks like a dialup blip. I typicaly get DSL reports of 60 MEG, not 1.5 MEG of typical DSL connection speeds at my desk. It's fun to be in R&D. I just tried TRACERT and PING to slashdotorg (64.28.67.150) and dslreports.com (209.123.109.175) to give some times. They have disabled ping and tracert at the border so I just get timeouts.:-( I just did a speed test at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/ My up speed is 5253 kbps and my DL speed is 4790 kbps. (OK I only got 5 meg tonight. It's a shared pipe.) What size pipe do you have?
I agree. I'm tied into an OC38. No bandwidth problems on this end. I don't even get thumbnails from that slashdoted site. It's 5:30 AM Pacific time. What will they do after the rest of the contry wakes up and goes to work?
Wow, It's flash! I thought it didn't work because it was slashdoted. I removed Macromedia software when all the flash control vanished due to some over ambitious advertisers. When a right click on an ad produced nothing but "About Macromedia" and ads started covering up content and moving over the pages, was the straw that convinced me the player was totaly out of control. That was the day Macromedia software was uninstalled. Does anybody know of a flash player that has controls that can't be disabled by the advertiser? A player that came up like Winamp Media player with a full set of controls would be nice. Required, the X button in the corner of the player must not be overridden. Un-stoppable software need not apply.
there is a very definite finite number of joules that fall on the earth at any given time I wonder how long will it be before we have to decide if to plant corn or solar in the field this year? How much will that change the cost of food?
Why ask the law makers? It's simple. They want the next step for all players to refuse to play anything without an ID. It's got to be pirated, right? For them to accuse non-ID stuff from being pirate stuff and force indi artists to contract with a big shop, they need to make sure all material is released with a registered ID. (registered ID's are sold to cover administration costs of course)
Personaly, I think the lawmakers should give the major labels the permission to use the ID's for their own stuff. However requiring other businesses to use it should be left to the decision of the other businesses.
In other words (in geek terms) It's up to Intel to use a CPUID if they want. They should not be required to have AMD use a CPUID. MS may use a Global User ID for their software, but they should not require Red Hat have one as well. Network cards have a MAC address. It's the spec for the protocol. RIAA do not own the CD protocol. Philips does. It should be Philips decision, not some government pushed by special intrest groups.

A proper drop with RG-6 cable going straight into a high-quality TV amp with integrated splitter with the pirate drop hanging off of that (again, with high quality cable and professinoal connections) could eliminate methods one and two, or not? ;-)
Um, yes, however it also destroys your uplink for your cable modem.
What ever you do, don't use one of the cheap amplifiers in a plastic box. That is a great way to increase the leakage. Use an inline amp in an all metal sealed case. Don't use a 2 way amplifier, they return harmonics of the step signal back to the TDR past the amp.
(I love to tinker with hardware. I dropped cable and have not picked up a dish because the temptation is high to tinker with it. The legal risk dictates I shouldn't have a connection.)

As you can see, two of the 3 common detection methods do use an antenna on a van pointed at your house. They look for leakage of the raw cable signal and check the sweep frequency of your TV. TDR sweeps require a tempory outage of the signal and are not done with an antenna on a van.

I just did a speed test at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/
My up speed is 5253 kbps and my DL speed is 4790 kbps. (OK I only got 5 meg tonight. It's a shared pipe.)
What size pipe do you have?
I agree. I'm tied into an OC38. No bandwidth problems on this end. I don't even get thumbnails from that slashdoted site. It's 5:30 AM Pacific time. What will they do after the rest of the contry wakes up and goes to work?
Wow, It's flash! I thought it didn't work because it was slashdoted.
I removed Macromedia software when all the flash control vanished due to some over ambitious advertisers. When a right click on an ad produced nothing but "About Macromedia" and ads started covering up content and moving over the pages, was the straw that convinced me the player was totaly out of control.
That was the day Macromedia software was uninstalled. Does anybody know of a flash player that has controls that can't be disabled by the advertiser?
A player that came up like Winamp Media player with a full set of controls would be nice.
Required, the X button in the corner of the player must not be overridden. Un-stoppable software need not apply.
there is a very definite finite number of joules that fall on the earth at any given time
I wonder how long will it be before we have to decide if to plant corn or solar in the field this year? How much will that change the cost of food?
Why ask the law makers?
It's simple. They want the next step for all players to refuse to play anything without an ID. It's got to be pirated, right?
For them to accuse non-ID stuff from being pirate stuff and force indi artists to contract with a big shop, they need to make sure all material is released with a registered ID. (registered ID's are sold to cover administration costs of course)
Personaly, I think the lawmakers should give the major labels the permission to use the ID's for their own stuff. However requiring other businesses to use it should be left to the decision of the other businesses.
In other words (in geek terms) It's up to Intel to use a CPUID if they want. They should not be required to have AMD use a CPUID. MS may use a Global User ID for their software, but they should not require Red Hat have one as well.
Network cards have a MAC address. It's the spec for the protocol. RIAA do not own the CD protocol. Philips does. It should be Philips decision, not some government pushed by special intrest groups.
