I've gotten into using bittorrent for files lately, and let me tell you.. nothing is easier than finding an open tracker and getting the files that you need.
As well, it can handle multiple files in multiple directories, not just one file per torrent.
So this would be a perfect application. I know that when I read this article on slashdot, the first thing that I did is read through the comments to see if anybody posted a.torrent. Sadly, none yet.
Also, keep in mind that current won't necessarily fry a device.
If you attempt to supply too high an amperage to a device, it will only take what it needs (at least that is what I've found with most consumer electronics... other than LEDs)
However, too much voltage will always rip things apart if you've not the right fuse or protection. I'd add a fuse to this setup for the battery's sake; you would probably rather have a blown linksys than acid on your back.
I was sitting here wondering why they didn't use 10xnimh 9ah "d" cell batteries, and then realized the cost for that kind of setup would be way more than finding a lead acid (or even sealed) battery. I would have to think that the weights would be about the same, though.
Imagine my suprise trying to do simple editing on configuration files in vi or emacs. Nigh impossible, in my opinion. Joe seemed to me to be the closest thing to a command-line notepad.
At least I always remembered ctrl-k, h, to get help on key sequences.... maybe that was the real kicker?
"I drove a 2005 GM Randevouz which had a tri-color dot-matrix display on the middle of the dash that would display messages such as low tire pressure, low battery, etc, with the color of the background yellow or red depending on the severity."
But the real whizbang would be if it told you "lean mix RH bank" or "Knock Sensor Failure".
That's what I'll be waiting for, probably until the end of time.... 'til then, off to the Ford dealership with myself.
But the averaging could give you major differences.
Let's say you painstakingly get the movies to somewhat line up, and only concentrate on the center 80% of each video.
You could have a program "watch" the two of them, and then spit out a report on a time (second by second) basis as to a "change factor". That should easily eliminate 1/2 to 3/4 of the film to scan for the watermarks.
And the watermarks I've seen are blatant; not subtle.
That's a really good idea, until someone decides to bump the case. Then you need to make sure that any friction that is caused by knocking the assembly off-balance doesn't shred plastic or magnet....
Of course, then once you have plastic shards stuck between the magnets, you'll have constant crunch. Right?
When I was 13, a firecracker blew up near my left ear, leaving a never ending ringing in it.
Now, over twice that age, I get laughed at when I put in earplugs to shoot a.22 rifle. Of course, all I do is smile back, and tell them they should be wearing protection as well. It may not be as loud as a.44 revolver (wore protection for that one too), but my ears still hurt at the.22 level, unguarded.
I also take earplugs to concerts. As an amateur drummer/guitar/bass player, I can't believe people actually play drums (or any "rock" instrument) without hearing protection....
Yea, but the fun would come when you get all of the CDs mounted, and then have to adjust each and every one to get the maximum amount of light to said focal point.
"The cost of the metro for a week is not less than the cost of gas and parking."
I have a question for you. I currently live in Columbus, Ohio, and the mass transit here is pretty sparce. We have COTA, but that's about it, other than taxi cabs.
How much more is the metro in your area for a week? Is it less than the total cost of owning a car? Obviously, you need to have a car to get to certain areas the metro doesn't go, but if I could, I would ditch two of the three cars me and my girlfriend currently own.
Why do we own 3 cars? Well, if one breaks down, it's kind of a hassle to get anywhere in this town. Granted, my personal selfish reasons for keeping them around outweigh the costs in my opinion, but if I had the option I would eliminate 2 out of 3 for the cost alone.
We're having the same heartaches, to a lesser extent. Anything that validated data goes across requires a mountain of paperwork, just in case they decide to audit us to see how the business works.
I would post Anon, but I'm wondering how many other people are affected.

"No, you can't build a 50' collinear array legally."
Actually, building it isn't against the law. Plugging an amp into the coax would be.

But you're doing it from the internal network, technically.
Try doing it from the internet side, and see if you can still get in. It seems some people here are calling bluff.....
I actually started on Joe.

George Burns was 900?
Holy crap!
It would probably be 100 times easier for you to "re-learn it" than it would be for someone to train me to do it, that's for sure.

sheesh. People these days....
I'm not sure if I want to buy a set of headphones described as "Eargasmic" for work. (see review at bottom of parent's link)
Now, for home....

Funny, that sounds like the same attitude I have....

I remember being a teenager once, and it didn't matter what kind of movie it was. It was always make-out time (or more...)
It's handy that your .sig is tied directly to what you said:

"Run this and win a free pony: sudo rm -rf
Gave me a laugh!
1. The player's screen probably won't be the same resolution as your video, so you'll be able to save space this way.
2. Since the screen is so small, doing a Divx-style codec on it isn't going to hurt the detail level, so you save a ton of space there.
I can easily fit a two hour movie divxed, in full res (720x480, minus the black bars) on 2 cds (1.4GB), with little loss in perceived quality.
Of course, if you need something to shuffle films around, you probably do need something that will store it, but not necessarily play it.

I don't think it'll get modded down, however you're speaking of what people anywhere think of anything: Some people love it, other people hate it.

Everyone else who doesn't have an opinion just don't care
Keep in mind that back in the day, before boats were pulled by trucks, they were pulled in station wagons.
With a v8.
Nowadays, the norm is a 4 cyl, 6 if you're lucky. And front wheel drive.
Which would be horrible with a boat.
That's interesting.

mmmm. tasty.
Sounds like the start of a new scavenger hunt...

Anyone up for helping me with this?
Would they end up getting Vin Diesel to play the love interest then?
