Pencils, the graphite in the pencil lead sucks up microwave something fearce. Try it, put one of those golf pencils (without the metal ferrel for the eraser) on top of your coffee cup before you nuc' it in the microwave, and compare the temp to a normaly cup! If the cops weren't using lasers, my car would be painted graphite black!
Lead lined sheetrock I don't think so, I once put up lead, it came in a roll, was 3/32 in. thick and was a heavy bitch to work with. I just cut it with heavy shears, tacked it to the studs and then put a layer of drywall over it to really hold it in place. I'd think that putting the lead in the sheetrock would make it nearly impossible to handle without it snapping or delaminating.
The missile I worked on had thin gold wires embeded into the parabolic reflector at 1/4 wavelength intervals so that it would only reflect the frequency we used, as an anti-jamming measure. They could block a WIFI frequency and very little else, I suspect a 2.4GHz cordless phone wouldn't penetrate, but a cell phone in the 900MHz range might not be affected at all.
No it's not trivial, infact it can be a real bitch to get the film to stick to the glass without bubble or wrinkels the first few times you do it. The films do come in conductive types like half aluminized to make one-way mirrors, or gold for heat reflectice. Never checked a roll with an ohm meter so I don't know if it's 100's of megohms or a couple of kOhms so it's hard to guess what the shielding efficencies would be.
I got news for you, those stainless steel chain-maille butchers gloves go for $180.00; a wallet isn't going to be less because it'll take about the same amount of chain-maille plus the leather internals, I'd guess we're talking $200-300 for one that looks halfway decent. You could do something a bit tackier by sandwiching the aluminized mylar used to shield circuit boards inside a wallet for about $60.00 retail
If you have to ask, I have just the system you need, with training included, just send me you mailing address so I can send you the NDA and non-competes and we can get started for under $50K!
I'm not sure that is a huge concern, they're storing from reciept until end of job or about several months, and the data is copied to their server so I assume that the possibility of backups from the server(s) at 21TB is out of the question actually I assume copying all the disks to the servers is out of the question; so any client that sends original data to them is bound to become dissapointed sooner or later. I'm guessing that returning the cd is more of a courtesy or tradition, than a hard requirement; things do get lost or damaged in the shipping anyways and with 30K on site the unlikely is bound to happen.
There is a difference between "not done yet" and "non-obvious". The non-obvious leap is something where even if you knew about the problem you wouldn't have likely found the solution That's certanly one definition and one that's implied by natural language and logic, but IANAL, yet I got the impression that the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals seems to be redefining the term obvious to mean obvious because the idea had been published and the document presented, now something is obvious only if it was prior art and then only if the prior art was documented at the USPTO.
even the most obvious incremental advances and add-ons can be patented unless the Patent Office or a defendant in court produces a document that shows someone else suggested it prior to the patent being filed
While documentation would be posible W/O a USPTO filing through professional journals, internal publications ect. these are not conducive to FOSS and small shop software developers. patent examiners are now prohibited from using external documentaion and even good'ol common sense when evaluating an application for obviousness.
Software developers will have increasing difficulty in being "persons having ordinary skill in the art" (PHOSITAs) that Section 103 relies upon to determine obviousness because the informal correspondance on the mailing lists and forums will not spell out many things because they are obvious to the PHOSITAs, and thereby cause them to be undocumented and officialy unobvious.
Don't use media player. Trite and simplistic, maybe too simplistic TFA Said
Microsoft revealed today that no 32-bit versions of Windows Vista will be able to play back "next generation high definition protected content" (translation - studio-released BluRay and HD-DVD movies).... "Any next-generation high definition content will not play in x32 at all," said Riley.
I'm not seeing where they are saying that winVista/x32 will even read a HD-dvd or BR at the operating system level period. I suspect heavy patent and DMCA emcumberments that will make it illegal to use the drives in anything except DRMed windows or OS X, at least at HD levels, so avoiding Media Player probably will not help.
Trading code for payment in kind or even the joy of having the code being used is about as laissez-faire as you can get! Biofuels: Jouney to forever has good basic understandable howtos and BioDieselNow has forums for colaboration with other enthusiates, people are actually establishing their own manufacturing co-ops that are also selling commercialy to the public in biodiesel. those plus the usual sites like wikipedia and google should be more than enough to get you started.
a National Geographic photograph has, what, 10+ megapixels of information, and even cheap cameras have 2+ megapixels... But a 720p frame has 1 megapixel of information Motion pictures are generally shot on film and the film is then scanned to be worked on. When working on the scanned film it's important to keep the quality as high as possible durring intermediate steps; 2K resolution (2048x1080, 2.1 megapixels) is very common and being moved away from as "too grainy" B movie style image, 4K (4096x2160 8.4 Megapixels) resolution is common, and a lot of newer stuff is done in 8K (8,192x4320, 33.75Megapixels) and the other thing to remember is the colorspace is different. A common digital image is called 24bit color, which sounds like a lot when you listen to the digital-cinema guys talking about 8, 10, 16 and even 32 bit color, but the difference is that 8 bit color is 8 bits x 3 channels or what the digital-image guys is calling 24bit color and 8 bit color is too narrow for film work and "clips" color information (16.5 million colors) from the film; 16 or even 32 bits is considered necessary and yes that means that an 8K 32 bit file being edited in cinepaint is a huge 101.5 Mb per frame and 30 minutes of video is about 52,000 frames! After all the work on individual frames, cropped, scaled, everything is put together and encoded.
Maybe a what-is button that actually told you what a program is,who wrote it, checked is signature, who the program was trying to talk to, and why the programs developer thought it important for the program to open a connection would help. Microsoft is a lot like Linux in one thing, they get blamed for a lot of stupid shit they have no control over right now and it's probably time for that to stop; there needs to be a signature program that's reasonably fair to big-time commercial, small-time commercial, and amature software developers writing for the windows platform. If it ain't signed and registered, it don't run period.
I didn't install the McAfee personal firewall, because of how much of a pain in the ass the McAfee AV has been since I installed it. What happened is the wife got a Dell pre-loaded with WinXP and of course there is one account with Admin privs. I finally talk her into letting me install an user account for me, and later the stepson. Well the step son gets into the habit of picking up viruses so we take decide to away his admin privs, and everbody's admin privs so he didn't feel picked on. Well that was the start, it seems that when you have an account with admin privileges, windows in it's weirding ways, locks it so only that user can access the files, this kinda sort of makes sense when the user has admin privs, because there may not be an actual admin account or there maybe multiple admin accounts( how stupid is that). When you create an admin account and down-grade the user accounts to non-admin privs, admin can't access the user account's files, which doesn't seem so bad until you run across a site that says you need to update flash. Naturaly you download to a conveintient place, like your desktop, right click, run as admin then get a permission denied! The only way you can install is to change users to admin (which still can't get to user's files) re-download and install, which means that you have to wait 15 minutes to start because of all the pre-loaded, ET-phone home crapware that never should start in admin's account anyways! ( I did have an epipany, putting the download into a shared folder, and then try the run as) Why is McAfee a pain in the ass you ask, because in my situation McAfee can't install the updates it insists on downloading everytime I log on to the computer. To keep McAffe updated, I have to boot, login as admin, logout, login as user to actually go from boot to useable, safe desktop take 20 - 30 minutes!
Blocking outbound connection from a computer is pretty silly initiative in any case What's trying to get out is usualy more important to me than what's trying to get in because it gives clues as to what has gotten in and what's not programs aren't behaving like they work for me instead of somebody else.
Digital IR seems to me to be the oposite of film IR, because with digital there is the screen that shows what the CCD "sees" so you know before you record. There is a large degree of instant gratifcation with digital. With film, a good portion of what's recorded is invisible so you really don't have a clue about what's on the film and stay excited until it's develope back in the darkroom. I think film also forces more discipline because there is no instant, "I gotta retake that one", so film photographers that go digital tend to be better that straight digital. Digital also doesn't let you get crazy either, ever take t-max and hydrogen presensitise it, shoot at EI 64,000 hydrogen peroxide post sensitise it and get reasonably grainy prints; can't do that with digital.
About the same as a common laser pointer 5mW is a lot of laser light at least in red, not sure how much more you'd need for a decent green or blue laser so let's guestimate 25mW total for indoor usage, a 1/2 W would probably handle outdoors in almost direct daylight I'd guess. These figures are very reason considering what a plasma display or a LCD projector would consume.
My wife has Lupis, when she took zyban the clearing of her skin was spectaular; and to be honest I anticipated developing a strong psycological dependency to it and dreaded the prescription running out. I was quite surprised went it turned out to be a non-event.
So lets get this straight, we name the booster after the God of War, we name the crew vehicle after the Hunter, that also shared its name with a "OMG it's Nuclear(tm)" project, and NASA is going to convince all of the SUV driving Soccer Moms the the project's real purpose isn't to recon baby harp seals for slaughter from outer space; yeah right.
I noticed than take Zyban for smoking cessation, I became more verbal, thinking was more effectively, emotions became more intense and I developed the ability to wake up in the morning. These changes lasted about 2 years, now I've slowly slipped back into the old style me. A second course of Welbutrin XL didn't seem to have the same effect on me.

just tack some good old chicken wire to the studs before you put up the drywall, bond it to the conduit if your really paranoid.

The implication is that the government owned telecom company is under charging and making up the difference from general tax revenues.

I used to do a lot in IR with film, had to develope my own slides in the E4 process, which was fun.
It was worded badly, just adding "new speed record" and "previous speed record" would have made things clear as mud.
