We are in a financial crisis, and the government wants to see if there is ice on the moon? There's plenty on this planet. I can make some for you in my freezer and you can save 20 billion dollars.
But once the sync is done, it's like CDMA, right? It's just REALLLLLY spread spectrum. It won't suffer the problems of going through walls as much as Bluetooth from what I have read. I have been waiting for this technology since I first read about it about 5 years ago. It's really cool.
Then we'll just have some other country in South America or India make our crap for us. Personally I'm really tired of hearing of all the crap they make that's being recalled because of melamine, lead, etc... I would rather pay more money and know that what I'm buying is safe.
Light does not work so well when it's being blocked. Light does not do well when in the presence of brighter light. Light DOES provide better security NOW. But that's just a matter of time. It just does not sound practical.
Hell no. Oh shit, I just said a bad word. Damn that was 2. Fuck, just made it 3. Crap, I'm in debt up to my damn eyeballs now will all the swearing I just did now. I better stop typing now before I'm homeless.
How hot is this thing going to get? The 4500 has a monster heatsink/fan combo and it has no where near that kind of power. This is graphics turned up to 11
I think what he meant to say was that FM radio as we think of it, since it is in the 88-108mhz range has a shorter range than the AM band which is between 530khz and 1700khz roughly. One problem with digital is that if you had a marginal signal before, you will have basically NO digital picture or if you do, it will be very "blocky"
They want the switchover to occur simply to sell the bandwith to cell phone and other companies. The FCC made BILLIONS off this conversion deal, while it would have eventually happened with people wanting DTV sets, there's way too many who do not have them yet. Now since the FCC screwed up with their estimate of how many people would apply, there's going to be some poor people on a fixed income that can't afford the extra $50.00 to get a converter box. Imagine your grandparents with no cable or satellite on their TV and not having the cash to buy a converter box....

They should also learn Latin and Sanscrit
Is this like "visualizing whirled peas"?
Maybe because it was FIBER???
The fact that he has lived this long with this disease when almost everyone else would have passed a long time ago is a miracle in itself.
This is proof of the oxymoron "Military Intelligence". We encrypt our cell phones, but not military communications?? Yeah, that makes sense.
This is one of the very few occasions that I am serious here on /. I really hope the best for him. The world needs more people like him.
So it will prevent you from running with scissors, or shooting your eye out like Ralphie with a Red Rider bb gun?
What if I bought them and combined Sun Microsystems and a Taqueria? I could cash out my 401k and borrow a couple of hundred dollars from a friend.
He's just got that smile that makes you feel that it's ok.
And they taste just like rattlesnakes.
Oh, UNIX... Wow, good thing it's not commercial eunuchs. Those guys can really mess up a good party.
I would have wrote them a check for that, PLUS thrown in my old TRS-80 and VIC-20 to sweeten the deal.
How about we send up a bunch of WALL-E's to clean it up?
Now if I were a terrorist, this would make my job easier. All I have to do is look for blurred images for my targets.

There was at one time a LOT of cows on Mars.

Boy, this makes me want to sign up right now to go on a long-term mission. No sex, eating silkworms, yeah this sounds like fun to me.
