"which can achieve higher speeds than linear induction motors (superconducting magnets)"
Yeah, we've all seen those "super conducting" rollercoasters. Nice fact checking for the article, guys.

This is a phone that demonstrated Motorola's iTunes codebase. This codebase will be available on many Moto phones including some current hardware designs.
The phone they *specifically* worked with Apple on will be shown by Apple. You really think Apple would be happy with Motorola showing it first? That's most definitely *not* the Apple way.
Am I right in thinking that these units are also legal in Canada as we tend to "fall in line" with the FCC rules to avoid issues where border communities are very close together?
Nobody is forcing him to use iTunes Music Store, iTunes, a Mac, or an iPod. They're all choices, and your are responsible *yourself* for making sure you make an informed choice based on the information Apple provide (and they do provide reasonable information).
I'd probably buy two! One as a Mythtv frontend in the living room (it seems it'd probably fit in the media cabinet, and the Mythtv frontend port to OSX is coming along), and one as a general web/email station for my home office. And that's coming from someone who's primary computer is already a TiBook.
But if you're going to recreate early computer technology such as core memory, it's better to recreate those as standalone projects that demonstrate the particular function.
He wanted to recreate a logical *hardware* representation of the AGC. He'd already done a software representation.
Doing it all in the original technology only allows you represent the original *inadequencies*. He wanted to capture the essense.
I still think it's pretty amazing. I sure wouldn't have the lust and patience (contradiction?) to do a project like this.
"heavy-duty calculations". Actually, you could do most of them with a slide-rule. Infact, slide-rules were invaluable on a lot of those missions. It was often the engineers unique understanding rather than canned software that made this stuff happen.

The CRTC has no jurisdication in this area. The best bet would be an injunction against Telus.

Good reference material!
But, as I said, the coster definitely isn't super-conducting and so-called "super-conducting materials" are moot unless they are super-cooled.

I'll show you how to build a PC (Linux/Windows/Mac) temperature sensor for less than $20 in parts.

As previously mentioned, Pound is a wicked, lean load balancer/HA arbitrator that runs well on Linux.

It's a Boeing *satellite* service. Boeing don't just make planes, f00l! ;-)

'cept this is $324 bare bones (still needs memory, hard drive, etc.) and is bigger and uglier and still not as quiet. ;-)

In Japan, the pricing is nearly *double* that of the Shuffle US$ pricing!

You're 100% missing the point. It's not about doing the jigsaw, but using glyphs to identify realworld objects and placing those in perspective.

You know that most F1 team budges are in the hundreds of millions, and sometimes a billion, dollars a year, right?
They spend big money on that telemetry system!

I guess HP didn't really license iPods, then? Apple has historically worked with partners where it makes sense.

This crud about open standards is ludicrous, too.

Well, "back in the day" companies like NetApp demonstrated that networked storage was very viable (NAS)....so there's good hope for iSCSI.

Amen to that!

True, dat.
