They tried that. My DC260 ran a programmable Os, DigitaOS. I can run MAME on my camera. There were supposed to be SDKs that were never released, but save for the few of us who actively tried to develop for the camera (I was actually Kodak's first developer. I've got a t-shirt for it.) nobody really cared. There were three cameras that ran the thing (DC260, DC265 and some Minolta thing) and a the default MAME port, but that was about it. Nothing that really extended the functionality of the camera. I'da loved something that turned it into a webcam, but the SDKs weren't there to access the USB port or the CCD. I'd love to use my iPod as a storage device, but again, can't access the USB port.
If there is any difference between the two cameras, it's probably because the guy shooting the 300D had shit for lens strapped to the front of the camera (i.e. the lens that came with it. [note: I'm not saying that the lens that comes with the 300D kit is bad, in fact, it's really pretty good glass, it's just not the best money can buy]). When you buy the 10D, you've got to buy your own lens, and you probably aren't going to buy a $100 lens for your $1500 camera.

The 3Com Saga
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
The home network was really made practical by the invention of the home router. It used to be that I wouldn't buy anything but a 3COM NIC. They were simply the best. They just worked, every time. You'd buy 3com switches whenever Cisco was too much. Then came DSL and cable, and with it, the Linksys Cable/DSL router. People could share their internet connections very, very easily, and now there was a market for home users to have some pretty serious network equipment. I trust that little Linksys box now, and will buy their NICs, and their switches, and whatever else they make, because that little box does the same thing as an expensive 3com router and switch, just on a smaller scale.
If 3com made something easier and cheaper than Linksys's device, they'd still be in the game. However, Linksys and others have proven themselves worthy in the home, and this causes network administrators to buy their equipment for work.
Keyless entry systems on many cars work by unlocking when the proper sequence is entered on a keypad. They have to be in order, but they do not have to be isolated. i.e. if the code is 1234, then entering 314512341241 would unlock the car. Many pushbutton unlock systems work this way. You keep track of current progress through a code and on button press, check to see if you match current digit, if so, advance through code, if not, reset to position zero.
The RF leakage out of the system would be different depending on if you matched or not at the point in the code where current digit is checked. This would allow a TEMPEST like attack to determine if you got the digit correct, even if determining the actual sequence directly from unintended emissions was impractical. You could then proceed through the code, one digit at a time.
Nah. My computer is tiny. I carry it around all the time. It's the second fastest computer I've owned. It's got a 300MHz ARM chip on it, and a pretty good display. It's my HP iPaq 4155. My PDA is as powerful as my old computer. So, we're at that point already, to where computers are tiny, but I have a bigger computer because you can make a computer faster if you make it bigger.
Yes, you can use the LJ servers, but what I did was actually be the LJ servers. My weblog runs the same software as they do, but I'm not tied to them in any way. Yes, it's total overkill, but I'm crazy like that.
The code that runs LiveJournal is open source. It's not that much of a pain to deploy, and when it's working, it's the most powerful I've seen. Many stand alone clients for posting, all kinds of things. Set one up, use it as your own weblog, host your friends' weblogs.
Patent law cannot be circumvented with a clean-room designed algorithm. A lack of knowledge of the original source will not get you out of a patent suit, just copyright issues. So, if you are trying to make a web bug, you'd best read this and do something completely different, because no matter what, you can't use the above described technique without being in violation of IBM's patent. Not even if you came up with it all by yourself.
Yes, and you've been able to play those files without a problem in Winamp for a long time. I too have about 10GB of.m4a files which I can play with whatever I want, because it's a standard file format. This lets you play the DRMed stuff.
I use my computer to decompress a complex audio compression format at pretty high bit rates while browsing the web, downloading files and having an IM conversation all the time. That's quite a bit of math to do. Guess what, it's still sluggish for some tasks. If I'm using photoshop, filters run slower if I'm playing music. I want music playing. I also want a fast computer.
That's what SMP gives you. A single CPU can easily do anything I want, but by partitioning it, my Vorbis player doesn't slow my AutoCAD session. Better than a single CPU twice as fast, actually, because one CPU can service the interrupts for stuff like mouse, keyboard, network traffic for people accessing files on my computer, and iTunes, leaving my other CPU to do just the heavy lifting. Then, when I am doing something that really uses the CPU, I can still use the computer without it being sluggish. Even if my single CPU is twice as fast, that only means that my computer is unusable for 45 seconds instead of 90.

All binaries come with "source code", machine code. It's a language that most of us don't use, but it's still a language. My CPU uses this "source code" to create a different set of instructions that are executed by the core of the CPU. You can read the machine code and see what the app is doing. DNA and RNA are pretty much just machine code for cells.
Eh? Perhaps you're trolling, but seeing as these home routers usually use tiny little ARM cpus with embedded operating systems, they couldn't use IIS even if they wanted to. IIS is certainly not a "small" web server, nothing I'd want to put on a router. They probably hand code their own web server, or use whatever came with their embedded os.
I had to find empty spaces in the environment, and that was the one I found tricky. It was easy to do, but what functions could I use other than things in the environment class?
The first page of the appendex book was an excellent idea. It was a cheat sheet of the various functions needed in the rest of the test, things you'd have if you were actually writing code.
The other problem I had was that you had to reuse implemented features in the case study, they'd count off if you didn't use the things they gave you. However, for one part I couldn't find any way to reuse code. I wrote an elegant algorithm that would work, but they're gonna count off because I didn't do it like they wanted it done.
Can anybody tell me how they did it? (post anonymously, though)
...no matter how much gas you put in it, it'll never go anywhere...
Well, seeing as it doesn't run on gas, this would be correct. When it's wound down, I can pour gas on and into it all day, and it won't go any farther than the burning embers can fly.
Scaled has a huge reputation in the industry. They're sort of the outsource Skunk Works. Companies like Boeing and Lockheed go to Scaled when they need something bizarre built and tested. Scaled isn't ever going to have a spot next to Boeing and Lockheed because Boeing and Lockheed are their customers.
No, signal jammer equipment are transmitters, hence, they are regulated by the FCC. If they don't properly use the frequency space allocated (they don't), if they aren't licensed (the FCC would never license a device that doesn't even try to properly operate on their frequencies), or if they cause harmful interference to properly licensed devices, they are illegal transmitters.
Your building does not elecronically generate and amplify electromagnetic radiation in frequency ranges that fall within the ITU's control, therefore, your building is perfectly legal.
A mainframe is designed for IO, a supercomputer is designed for number crunching. A mainframe doesn't have much more CPU power than a good fast worstation, but the CPU isn't the main part of a mainframe. In fact, data goes in and out of a mainframe and it doesn't ever go through the CPU a lot of the time. The IO devices have incredible bandwidth to each other, and deal with data without the help of the CPU. A supercomputer just processes a data set.
Looking at the minimun bid of $1 mil, that means that there have, so far, been 7 people willing to fork over $1,000,000 for something. Now, looking at the feedback for these people, I can't possibly see how some of them could pay for this. wtmahan has bought repair manuals for a 1995 Nissan Protege. Anybody who drives one of those, and wants to fix it him/herself probably cannot afford an F/A-18. The current high bidder has bought a bunch of shirts and a $15,000 Porche, not cheap, but not a car for a person who can spend $1mil on an airplane kit.
You do realize that running a system open-cased actually reduces cooling performance, right? Coses work through airflow, pulling air in one side of the case, flowing through the case and pushing out out the other. Put your case back on. Your CPU (and ears) will thank you.
