  1. Re:Why wireless for consoles? on Wireless Controllers for Consoles · · Score: 1

    Of course, it HAS to be Radio based.

    I had a IR system for the original PS that rocked hard, up until the point where my room-mate would send large german shepards to stand in front of the receiver on my side, thereby blocking the signal and allowing him to pull off the 40 keypress secret-kill-all-incarnations-with-one-hit-of-my-li ttle-finger-of-death attack without harm.

    One of the original Denial of Service attacks. YOU tell the 85lbs G.S.Dog to move where it doesn't want to!

  2. Re:What fuel did it use? on NASA Launches Terra Satellite · · Score: 1

    I watched the launch on NasaTV... waiting for the Shuttle to go up.

    It used two solids in conjunction with a liquid engine for liftoff, with two additional solids that lit later into the flight. They held onto the burnt solids for a while after burnout (the ground lit ones). I can only assume for balance purposes.

    Anyone know for sure?

    Again... According to Sharp...

    "Now you can purchase a Sharp Internet MiniDisc bundle or you can create your own Internet MiniDisc solution by purchasing any Sharp MiniDisc digital recorder/player and the VOQ-070201/MD package separately."

    That Really tends to indicate to me that the Voquette-Enabled part is a package that adds to a normal product.

    The VOQ-070201/MD package is bundled with the $249 player/recorder that started the post. I'd think it's safe to say it would work with the other MD players (at least other Sharps).

    As far as I can tell, they all use the same remote interface, which can be used to control pretty much everything. At least, the same remotes work with the 700-800 series..



  4. According to the homepage... on MP3/MD Combo Player · · Score: 1

    You can purchase the add-on equipment to make it compatible with ANY Sharp MD portable.

    Unfortunately, I can't find the link that allows that purchase just yet.

    That REALLY needs to happen soon. I want this on my MT831.
