S ave the conversion process all together and tell motherboard makers to rectify 120 V directly on the motherboards. It worked for old TVs, it could work again. Maybe.
I was paging through a trade magazine and actually saw the product made (by a reputable electronics company) specifically to detect shoe computers and their hash. Every casino would not be able to afford not to buy it. Why they still would use this product is that they are afraid of people using 'teams' to avoid detection.
But you are right in one respect, the casinoes will never put up with a consistent winner no matter what.
Companies have sophicticated electronic detection equipment that can detect the hash from your shoe computer. Using a device to 'help' with roulette is thirty years old. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend the book The Eudaemonic Pie. One of the first shoe computers, using a 6502. This should be in the nerd's top ten books to read.
Of course, if you used an asynchronous computer there would be no hash to detect....
Hey, I am for security and all, but somebody needs to call the phone numbers on his resume. I heard that Microsoft doesn't have a "security" department.
Dr Baker watched over 700 Star Trek episodes -- more than 624 hours
Did she see the episode where Kirk says at a Trek convention;
"You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!"

Good thing we don't make Beowulf Clusters out of laptops, or then I could say...
It's a bomb big enough to blow off your Beowulf?? oh..wait..cluster
Where are they going to get all these expert scientists and researchers for this?
They have 1.3 billion people. You'd think that they have a couple of smart people there.
get quite a deal on a Rolex and other brand name items...
Not to mention that you'll be able to download Vista in two minutes.
This is the type of elitist attitude that will keep normal users from adopting Linux.
It's just that we need to get more users to learn how to compile their own OS so they can turn around and help improve it.
Nothing 'elitist' about that.

Great company. Real solid and with great integrity. I'm sure they'll put lasers to great use. Yes, x86 is horrible, but that too will pass.
User criticized x86. Laser firing on user Cyber14 in 4...3...2...
Does this mean that my chinese source for windows XP might go from $10 USD to $15 USD?
is that this might be a good idea, if the program doesn't contain a rootkit.

Water remains wet, the sky is blue, the sun is hot, and the RIAA are jerks.
Everyone knows the best thing to do with garbage is to attach a rocket to a large ball of it and fire it directly into space.
Dude, it's still garbage, but now it's in space. Everyone knows you need to fly it into the Sun where it can be burned.
Thanks, that's a great recommend. What's also nice is that it requires no software and shows up as a flash drive.
It could play ogg. Let's start with that.
Then have it boot linux next year.

Go easy on them. Maybe the blue diodes explode.
Sounds good. Developers should milk it for all its worth.
Steve would want us to pet an alligator in his memory.
would be to outlaw all pornography all together.
Hmmmm. Not a bad idea. Less porn, more National Geographics.
I have seen it, and it's called LCARS
I'm a doctor, damnit, not a Star Trek addict!
And only Bones could fix the brain-melt she must be suffering after 624 hours of Trek. It must have been like a dagger in the mind.
Crap, I'm a nerd.

Kirk said it. Not me. Don't mod me down.
I welcome our cyrstalline entity overlords. Oh, wait, they were killed off in season five.
Sadly, something many of us here have a hard time comprehending. Something like NP-complete. I dunno.
Your scheme constantly lowers the "going price" until everything is free.
As someone who primarily buys on ebay, I can say that really sucks. Kinda.
