Of course, just because it is wireless doesn't necessarily mean it would travel outside the body. Perhaps there's some way to contain the "chatter" within, and not give off the interfering signals.
Yup. Bullet proof glass that scratches if you so much as look at it funny.
So don't you look at it funny, or else!
Actually, I don't own an IPOD.. heck, I have a minidisc player lying in my bedroom that gets used less frequently than I would like, so I probably won't be in the market for one until I see prices in my range. But, I have a good friend who swears by his IPOD. But, with normal use (probably as much care as I give my MD player), his has all sorts of surface scratches, front and back.
I would not want to have a scratched up IPOD, for the price I would have to pay for one. Guess I'll probably keep old reliable MD player for a few more years.....
"When an institution trenches MILES Of fiber, they don't just pull a single strand through and then call it a day. That would be like building a 4 car garage to house your bicycle."
Wouldn't that be more like building a one car garage, knowing that at some point you may buy an additional car, but say "ahhh, I'll build it when I buy it..."?? Or am I understanding you backwards 'cause I'm tired?
At that point, at least on a car with ABS, it could rely on sensors from each wheel to tell how fast the car is going.
Since a lot of cars these days are front wheel drive, just make sure you're getting readings from the back 2 wheels as well, and weigh the data you get. There will be a lot of instances that would require different schools of thought... if you slammed sideways into a telephone pole, it's possible your wheels weren't moving much to begin with (if you were in a full sideways slide), but then forensics of the tread left on the road would be a good indication of how fast you were going.
In addition to the ABS sensors, if you have a rwd car nowadays, traction control is pretty much standard (cars... don't think so on trucks...) and unless you hit the little "traction off" button (mine happens to be in the glovebox for not-so-easy-access) you can't spin the tires too much...
Besides, I don't think there's ever been too much issue with "how fast" someone is going. The guys who do the work on this stuff know their stuff, and could probably take a five second look at the accident scene and recreate 95% of it. The other 5% are the specific details.
Just have to ask -- do you know where they put the intake on these things?
Must be pretty low if they don't want you driving through water. When I owned a 95 z28, I purchased an aftermarket K&N air filter + piping, and it sat right in front of my driver's side tire, in a vented box type enclosure. Since it was a conical filter though, I'd probably have to have the car about 3-4 feet underwater for it to suck water into the engine directly... which again, leads me to believe the Mini's have their cold air intake right on the ground, facing forward to where it could scoop all sorts of water up.
No biggie. I do the same thing all the time.... makes me feel like dirt when I look like I don't have a clue, which I have this habit of doing often on Slashdot.
What part of his line "7Mbit" didn't you understand?
Also, DVD's are limited on the top end at 10Mbit/sec - I believe for both video and audio streams, but I could be incorrect. So in a perfect world, you could fit 10 DVD streams on 100Mbit/s ethernet.
And your right to use the cell phone can stop at the door of the establishment, at management's request.
They wouldn't necessarily have to jam your signal, but a sign and 2 thugs at the front door would make you reach in your pocket really quickly.
Besides, on private property (as a theatre would be), wouldn't it be legal to jam specific frequencies, as long (and this is the big thing) as you're not interfering with anything outside the building?
But, if you are in my airspace (mr anonymous coward... top it exec... right) and I own the place... Let's say it's a fancy restaurant. Or better yet, an opera house.
If I put forth the expectation that all guests are treated equally, then I should have a right to have your cell phone not work. Why? Because people all around you paid for a show. They did not pay to hear you scream in to your cell phone at Dell about how they missed their latest shipment of PC's to your company.
I may be stopping your right to receive a call, but if your phone is licensed in the US under our FCC laws, your phone must accept any interference, which may cause undesired operation.
And that's what a lot of us are worried about. Either looking more geeky than we already are, or looking like we need to ride our bikes to the nearest uptown shopping plaza to get more clothing accessories... cause, darnit they're just so CUUUUTE!
Keep in mind, though, that the fluke nettool is a physical layer device -- it's meant to tell you that you've got a decent link to the switch, whether there are any broken pairs (receive or transmit), how good your link pulse is, and with recent firmware, can attempt to grab an IP via DHCP.
Fluke also has other meters that can certify a cable (which is what we have contractors do on-site) for a given rating. This stuff is invaluable to the physical infrastructure, and not necessarily used for the same things that ethereal would be.
I agree. Have one here at work and 2 at home, with mice plugged in as well.
What really cheeses me off lately is that I'd like to buy a laptop. I've got an IBM Thinkpad that I love, but it's getting long in the tooth. IBM and Dell are the only 2 that I've found so far that still have a trackpoint in their laptops.... IBM's too pricey, and I'm using a Dell laptop here at work and while it's nice, I don't like it that much...

Wasn't the SNES considered a 16-bit console?
Now, NES and Master System - them were some good times.
Yup. Bullet proof glass that scratches if you so much as look at it funny.

Or handicapped kids training for the special olympics, and a steroid pusher talking Jimmy into buying steroids?
"Gotta keep the vice off of my back."
HILARIOUS.

Not a good idea.

Do you work in finance?
No biggie. I do the same thing all the time.... makes me feel like dirt when I look like I don't have a clue, which I have this habit of doing often on Slashdot.

Hah.
Yup. Cause we all know the car won't know it's in "Park" or that the key is turned off :)
And that's what a lot of us are worried about. Either looking more geeky than we already are, or looking like we need to ride our bikes to the nearest uptown shopping plaza to get more clothing accessories... cause, darnit they're just so CUUUUTE!
Should have hooked up a sprayer to the parallel port to get the cat wet when it jumps up on the couch.
:)
Of course, if you just want to see your cat crap on your couch, then fine

No, Winux Is Not Unlike Xerox.

I'm right handed, and my index and middle fingers won't cross that way!
And adding one more T is going to make us realize that it's not pronounced "fat"?
heh. You're too kind.
Dude, licenses don't taste that good. May I suggest a waffle, or a pancake?
But not all 180W is dissapated into heat. A good majority of that power would be put into storage inside the battery.
