Cool stuff. Love Tar pits in general, this is the first ASTP (Application Specific Tar Pit) I have seen outside some work I started a while back. with a business partner before getting snapped up into the seamy corporate world of senior research scientist-dom for a not-quite-a-dot-com company...

In fact in the original discussions of CD-ROMs as CD- was brought up, it was considered something that would be part of the various competing recordable formats. It just never caught on. Nothing in the format prevents it though, and one could stamp a CD-R with a prerecorded session or sessions if one wanted to. Of course burner software would have to be updated, but thats not that big a deal. Ideally the drives would have special accomadations, but they need not. This conceptually dates back to the early 1980s. I have some original Toshiba documents that came with my SCSI CD-ROM in 1983 or 1984 along with an NCR SCSI interface (8-bit!) that was not much more than a glorified parallel port with all the SCSI protocol dealt with through software.
I received iDVD 1.0 with my machine. I had to pay $19.95 to upgrade to 2.0 (which was then bundled with the next purchased (10.2) os release.
Charging nominal amounts for the software allows them to have some additional revenue streams from early adopters. I liked the features so I paid the money! Nothing evil or nasty, and most important, nothing new (unless you count that they'll bundle them all into one package). And, just becasue it has an "i" in front of it doesn't make it special. I paid $$$ for updates to Homepage, and Appleworks over the years too. Often those are bundled with new hardware by Apple (well, Homepage is in the definate _was_ category).

No offense, but the most successful British regiment in the Revolutionary War used breech loaded rifles. And, automatic weapons had already been concieved as early as the 1600s. Not to mention that many of the cannon and mortars used during the Revelutionary war were privately owned. And, you obviously don't have a good knowledge of the intents of the founding fathers of the United States. They intended that we all have access to the means to protect against a tyranical government. They did not want a large standing army and felt that would lead to a repressive government. If you ever get a chance to tour General Washintons Headquarters in Morriston, NJ check out the firarms collection in the museum. The majority of long guns were rifles not smoothbore pieces. If you want a fairly unbiased look from a biased source check out Ted Kennedy's report on the second amendment given to the Senate of the US Federal government in the seventies (maybe late sixties). In that report, the 2nd amendments rights are clearly found to be individual rights. (Ted Kennedy himself is almost apologetic when commenting on the reports findings.) Also, here is a good historical perspective. And, since you seem to have quoted the same source, I find it difficult to understand your conclusions. You'll find Madison in particular in the Federalist papers contrasted European governments afraid to allow their citizens free access to arms in fear of being overthrown, as opposed to a free states allowance of access to arms to provide for that continued freedom.
In Washington, DC, which for all intents has a ban on civilian handgun ownership, a significant percentage of handguns are used in "gun related" crimes. The largest single source of hand guns used in the crimes are stolen from the police. Statistics on this can be looked up, but it has been _years_ since I actively researched all this. As for accidental deaths, guns rate the lowest of the catagories. See pages 30-31 of the CDC report found here. You'll want the National Vital Statistics report. 776 deaths of 97,900 accidental deaths. Lets have society concentrate on saving more lives by working in areas that will have more impact.
No objections whatsoever if any requirements for reporting, etc. are uniformly enforced. I'd like to also see stricter enforcement of DUI/DWI laws and stricter penalties for them. You'll save significantly more lives if you can keep intoxicated individuals from driving than from elimination (by magic or other means) all firearms from the US civilian population.
"We are a poor country. We cannot develop operating systems and platforms on our own."
Well that's reassuring. For a moment I thought India was the country that was providing a significant lowering of jobs in the US for programmers due to outsourcing to "Team India" programmers who work for considerably reduced pay in comparison. Thank goodness I work in OS programming and "Platforms".
She solicited you for work. You performed the work. Bill the company for your work. List here as the authorizing entity.
You are a professional. Your work has worth. Charge for it. This is common practice in many professions. Just ask a lawyer for advice sometime. Casual or not, whatever the social setting, expect to be billed. An old joke along those lines is: While commuting to work a man asked his friend, a lawyer, "Hey, I was talking to a CPA at a party and asked him some questions about retirement plans. Then I got a bill for $50 in the mail, what should I do? Pay it or ignore it?" The friend replies, "He rendered a service to you at your request, just pay him." A few days later he received a bill from his lawyer friend for $250 with the line, "Rendered legal consultation while traveling for business purposes."
The moral of the story is, if you feel your work has value, charge for it.
I just want an iSync replacement server instead of.Mac. I find it odd that if I buy a third party handheld, I can sync to it just fine, but I need a.Mac account to sync to my Apple hardware (Powerbook). Doesn't this just discourage Powerbook and iBook sales in favor of PDAs for those people who are borderline (well, that would mostly be iBook sales, but still). Seems an odd approach to marketing to lose some $1000 sales to make a few $100 sales. As my dad was fond of saying, "If it doesn't help make a sale, don't do it!" I'll be waiting for the bean-counters to settle it out with the actuaries.
The calculation of the race conditions is what you use to get the performance. You eliminate the handshaking and in some cases add extra buffers in to get the timing correct. Handshaking is what makes synchronous logic synchronous. Asynchronous runs constantly at race conditions and if done correctly delivers the expected output in a calculated window (of time) from the presentation of the inputs. The only way you generate the handshaking signals you refer to is to have them generated in response to the presentation of data taking into account the skew of the various signals involved. Most folks in logic design would call those handshaking signals clocks and thus the generation of "many handshaking signals" defies the definition of asychronous logic and actually makes the design syncronous. It is a "wheel of incarnation" thing. In the early seventies quite a few designs had an overload of one-shots for timing (an asyncronous logic concept, but a bad one), late seventies syncronous logic eliminated them and improved reliability, then in the eighties asyncronous logic was refined by the big players. Then syncronous logic overcame some of its problems (like the skew of all those clock signals) and it became predominate in both research and implementation. Now as the chips grow larger and the systems get more complex, the skew of the clock signals is again a really nasty problem. So we turn again to asyncronous logic to solve the problems.
As a Russian friend of mine is fond of saying, the only thing new is history that has been forgotten.
Is the earliest example I can think of. Roughly 50 ECL 10000 Gate Arrays. It was only syncronous at the "edges" like buss interfaces. Circa 1983. I was on the simulation tool design team. Loads of fun on the skew analysis portion of the simulation. You have to account for all the "local" varieties of skew (within a cell, within a quadrant of the chip, and within the chip overall, and more), and the lead and trace generated skew as well.
There are a host of problems with ad-hoc networking schemes such as this. I have a few solutions to them, but mostly they would be overpriced in the consumer market. One such beast that will start to bite you on the * really hard is hidden transmitter syndrome. This is where your controlling nodes overlap, and say node A is visible to base B and base C but base B and Base C are out of each others range. If B and C don't "hear" each other they can't work in unison without a third party. So when Node A (mobile presumably) hunts for a connection, both B and C try to talk at the same time to A, thus hampering the usable bandwidth. Lots more lessons can be learned by just searcjing for the syndrome and reading the other problems mentioned around it.
Plug in a Lucent / Orinco / Wavelan / this months brand name... PCMCIA card and the Apple drivers work with it. And they all have little rubber plugs over the external antenna jacks... No instability, no problems... And, the cards are cheaper than the suggested cards if you look around for them. Alas Apple won't give you firmware updates for them (or the ones in the "hack") so you'll need virtual PC (or a real one) in some cases to update to the latest and greatest firmware. Sheessh... Hack it not was. ohhhh.
The NEC Peti Scan is a discontinued product (sadly I bought one in Spring 2000). And, while it uses a common scanner chipset, it is very difficult to get drivers for it. The Mac OS 9.x and lower work fine with the last available drivers, but it does not work in OS X or Classic. If anyone has gottent it to work in OS X I'd love to know. The Windows driver is fairly flakly in the latest OS and gives a ton of warnings (and you have to have had it already installed to work at all (i.e., upgrade from a known working system). Now if only IOExperts would tackle the orphaned scanner problem they'd get more shareware fees from me!

... is worth what you pay for it. So here goes:-). File the provisional patent on the concept. This establishes the date. The clock starts and you have a year to file the utility patent. In that year research the heck out of the method and crypto in general. Consult with a good to great crypto authority under NDA. If the concept proves sound proceed with a utility application. While pending (the utility patent) publish the method and get comments. Make the application have claims broad enough to cover "tune-ups" to the method, but not so broad as to be unreasonable. License for non-commercial use for free if that is what you want, and charge a fee for commercial use, but remember that 1000 sales at $0.10 is better than 50 sales at $1.00 (generally). The easier you make it to use, the more widespreaad it will become.

It is a divide by zero problem. Async chips would have an infinite clock frequency.
