This is not the kind of cheating the closed source was supposed to prevent. SETI@home doesn't want people to mingle with the results af the analysis and or the packet data, and indicate signs of life when there is none. That kind of cheating would be catastrophic...
Well never tried to change the chip in my modem, but i guess if you didn't notice any change when putting a P3 in, then it is probably not worth the money! Get fiber and a flashlight, THAT will be quicker!
Isn't it difficult to keep track of your ceasium atom? Doesn't it get lost when you put it in your pocket, and how do you adjust this one for daylight savings time?
And you can take your CD's to work, and play them as loud as you want, provided that you play it on a stereo YOU OWN. Thats perfectly legal, but play it on the company stereo, and you have to pay a couple thousand kr/year as compensation. (1000kr is app. 125$) Also sharing your mp3's via p2p (or other measures) is still illegal. So just because we have som rights here in DK it doesn't mean everything is legal!
You cannot simply take the MP count, and convert into resolution that way. A nice article about how digital cameras work can be found at How Stuff Works which explains the basics in an easy way. (Great site by the way)
For example a 2.1MP camera only produces pictures @ 1600x1200 which contains 1,920,000 pixels. This is a ratio of about 10:11. This means that the 13.8MP camera gives pictures with approx. 12.5 Mpixels You do the math of figuring out the res.

We can put a man on the moon and yet still can't...
Anybody else out there tired of hearing this phrase? Putting a man on the moon is NOT comparable to stuff like making easy/secure on-line transactions secure or geting windows users to switch or cooking without messing up the entire kitchen!
This is not Rocket Science, putting a man on the moon is!!!
At least for aircrafts it would not be very efficient. Planes still show up on radar/IR scans... Vision is in many situations not the integral part of fighting planes.
But then I was right, the decoder I already have is still free.
The per-decode fee could never be enforced, and that is probably why that is still free. But then again it is not a strike against end-users (yet)
And you are certainly right about Ogg, as soon as the guys at FrontierLabs makes a firmware upgrade for the NexII, to support Ogg, i'm buying. Unfortunately this will probably not be in the near future. Here is a bite from my recent communications with nex-zone.com
When I last spoke to Frontier Labs they mentioned that currently their programmers have no time to implement Ogg Vorbis as they have many other firmware issues at their hands and also for upcoming models. However, a German partner of theirs just purchased this JTAG hardware and may consider implementing it. FL does indicate that eventually they want to support Ogg Vorbis but it's just not a priority at the moment according to them.
Dammit! Well its just the same, cause I fired from my job as of next month, so there is no money for playing around!
They can charge someone else for something I downloaded when it was still free? That would seem pretty unreasonable. I didn't see this as a charge for end users, but end users could help out by reusing their old (free??) decoder, and thus enabling the developers/distributors of free players to continue without having to pay a large amount of $ for the decoder license.
I guess Thompson can't charge me for the decode engine I already have, right? Guess MP3 decoders are (about) as fast/good as they will ever get, am I wrong? Why don't we just keep using the MP3 module from the decoders we already have, and only download new versions of decoders for other formats (and of course the new and pretty GUI's). This way we would not have to pay for another download of a decoder, and still be able to use our xmms or whatever free software we like!
In Wargames The computer was playing against itself, and came to the insight that it would never be able to win. Therefore it eventually stopped playing. It didn't shortcirciut or anything. But an important point in this was that it was an AI as opposed to a dumb Chess program, which would just be playing the exact same game everytime!

MacGyver vs Walker Texas Ranger!
That would be one hell of a fight! GoooOOOO MacGyveeeeer!
you'll have to remember to compensate for the time spent updating the count!!!
I also used to have a PC with a turbo switch, but I never knew exactly what it did, can someone enlighten me please?

Department of Defense should use this? .K
Why?
And BTW I did read the article, but the streaming server is /.ed, therefore I need the webcam!
...so I can be sure that my message gets through?

Well I would recommend going to a doctor instead of releasing a gecko, on my Little Guy... And look what happened when you did this...
I would wake up at night turn the lights on and see my little guy on a wall somewhere
Guess the love for my little guy is a different kind of love...

I, like other posters before me, does not really believe the story, but I guess you do, and therefore doesn't quite get my original post! .K
Sure, but what happens when those 200+pounds of excess fat is converted into muscle, and muscle spasms occur...
You can put whatever characters or bits you want in a filename as long no byte equals ASCII \0 or
Wow
So /. has finally become a religion, and the front page is for confessions.
