I will make you one cheap(about $100) And as a side benefit you can control an Etch-A-Sketch with it. But seriously the Rabbit semiconductor core modules are very cool. For $40 you get an ethernet port with a free (beer not speech) TCP/IP stack, 4 serial ports and 8 general purpose I/O's
The FCC has mandated that all cell phone operatores be able to locate an emergency caller by the end of '06. So far Sprint and Nextel have put GPS chipsets in their phones, but only Nextel gives the JVM running on the phone access to the location data. If you have a Motorola i88s or i58s you can download a midlet that will track your cell phone and update a web page with your location
The US federal government also wants us to own a house. If you can come up with a 10% down payment, rent is usually about equal to mortgage on an equivilant property. Interest on your mortgage is deductable from your income, rent isn't. For the first couple of years your payment is almost all interest, very little is princaple. At tax time you get 28% of your mortgage payment back. It is a scam, renters with an equal income will pay more in taxes and hve nothing to show for it.
It is Canton. No I don't worry about people knowing where I am, do you think I should? Would you worry about someone knowing where you are? Are people out to get you;)
Funny you mention real estate, if you want to impress me figure out the value of my house. I'll give you a clue the tax assesment is available on-line
If you have a Motorola i88s and download a midlet I wrote you can track your cell phone and have it's position update a web page in real time. You can also mark an interesting location to see where it is on a map or aerial photo later. This is possible thanks to Nextel's always on internet connection for $9.99 for 1 Meg per month. Of course if the enemy has web access this wouldn't be too good
Recently the company I work for changed from the ILEC to a CLEC that only provided service within our LATA, of course we wanted to keep our existing number. Certain other people were not able to call in, we could call out but they couldn't call us, it turns out companies that used MCI as their IXC were the ones who couldn't call us. MCI had a problem with their LIDB. You are going to need to know this stuff to diagnose these problems. And you think service is bad now
You are right. Everyone believes when they are told "don't let anyone else know, but you are getting paid above average" When word get around who is payed what it only causes problems for PHB's. I absolutly would (and actually have done exactly) pass around salary info that my boss accidently left on the copier,
Get one while it is still optional. Only a terrorist would not want his position constantly updated on a web site for all to see.

"Let me see your drivers license, registration, and traking device to confirm it is working." "I see that last Thursday you were traveling at 72.3 to 73.6 MPH for 3.6 miles in a 65 MPH zone" "I'll just deduct the $75 fine from your PayPal account" I can hardly wait! Just think how safe we will be!

Motorola bought Metrowerks and for a limited time you can download a full version of Code Warrior wireless studio for free. All you have to do is sign up at Motocoders This is a full featured IDE that is all set-up for J2ME development
The size of our own galaxy is measured in hundreds of light years and the farthest we have gone off this little rock is the far side of the Moon, just a little over 2 light seconds away. It is embarrasing
For a real useless internet embedded device check out my internet enabled Etch-A-Sketch. But seriously, how do these people plan to get coneected to the internet? If you want to use Ethernet to connect something to the internet the RCM 2200 is a great starting point
It must be extracted from substances that contain it, like fossil fuels and water. The problem is that the extraction itself requires power. Currently, the least expensive method is a process known as steam reforming, in which natural gas reacts chemically with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
Why not skip the middle man and run our cars on natural gas? It is easier to convert to, safer, and many vehicles already do this. The US is the Saudia Arabia of natural gas
A key design feature of Timeline's own products is the use of a logical database (target) separate from the transaction system (source). Examples of claims are:
A number of claims cover using a driver to interrogate a source (e.g. transaction systems), use the information from the source to determine its structure, and in turn use the structural information in a middleware layer to design, without coding, the structure of a target data mart or data warehouse which is different than the source. While this could take many forms, Timeline believes that Analyst Services Manager allows relational data base information (source) to be used to design star schemas in cubes (target). This is a simple example. The courts, in the course of litigation, have confirmed human interfacing with drag and drop, mapping, selecting criteria, etc. does not defeat the patent as long as it does not require professional programming skills (see Claim 1 of '511 for 'pull' or query model; Claim 23 of '694 for mapping of source metadata to target metadata on a new data mart; Claim 1 of '392 for application to an existing data mart; Claim 10 of '392 for 'push' model versus query model).

I am not saying which is harder sports or science; I ask which one should we shoving down kids throats? Sports: benefits the person who participates but generates no collateral benefit for society at large, and there is no chance of making a living doing it. Science: benefits the individual and has the side benefit that every now and then, Cures are found, technologies that save labor and lift our standard of living are found, otherwise a person can make a nice living. Sports should be on a par with video games; OK in moderation but you should not devote your life to them and schools should not have after school programs to encourage them. To get back to the topic they should have after school programs in model rocketry.
Kids are indoctrinated with sports from the time they are born. They watch it on TV, they play little league, before JV, before varsity in High School. If a kid isn't a master of a sport before he leaves High School there is no chance of him playing at the College level. And after that there is essentaily no chance of playing in the pros. Compare the above model to how we train Scientists. Senior year in high school, students decide maybe I would like to be a biologist, no maybe chemist, I will just start out undecided. As a culture we celebrate the wrong things. Who has done more to save lives, increase the well being of everyone and increase our standard of living: Micheal Jorden or the inventor of the MRI can you name the inventor of the MRI without google?
Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb shows clearly and ironically that Hitler drove many Jewish physicists out of Germany in the '30s including Einstein. If he would have let them keep there posts he almost certainly would have had the bomb before the US.
If you are talking about burning bandwidth with a web cam...for no additional hardware you could stream any radio station in the world over the internet connection with a Java midlet.
You mis-understood my sentiment. I agree with you 100% Actually wood has a price determined on the Chicago board of trade, so it is riduculous when the US starts talking about negotiwting a fair market value, that is pure double-speek
The federal (Canadian) government, through Technology Partnerships Canada, is investing $29.5 million in the project.
Ottawa describes the government money as a risk-sharing investment.
It says it is "conditionally repayable, usually in the form of royalties based on company sales."
Right now there is a 29% tariff on lumber from Canada. The US has found them guilty of "dumping" lumber on us. What would we do if they started dumping gold or diamonds on us? Guess what, Canada has a lot more trees than the US does and they are willing to sell them to the US cheap. What ever happened to NAFTA?

Check out the java midlet I wrote that allows anyone to track where my Nextel phone is
