Someone else mentioned Streetprices.Com, but did not mention that there are graphs there. For example, run down through the Notebook pages and you'll find pages like this one with a chart of prices.
Well, apparently VGA can be split with a cable. I was looking for something else and noticed a Y-cable on eBay. Do a search for "splitter monitor" to find current auctions of such items.
Your User Interface will be affected by what devices the user can use for input. Mouse, Keyboard, Numeric Pad, Gamepad, Touchscreen, IR remote control, fully wired body suit, posing-as-letter-P-for-camera?
Some devices can emulate others, such as a touchscreen emulating a one-button mouse. Some can't easily emulate others, such as using a numeric pad to create email (I'm not stating whether a numeric pad is worse than a mouse clicking on an image of a keyboard).
If you're using a mouse or touchscreen, you can use a click-on-icons design. If you're using a keyed device, menus are the common choice.
You have to start with your input device, then use your imagination within that limitation.
Look a little further down on that page and you'll see a light beam communicator. Seems to be a two-way audio infrared link. (Increase range with lenses)
Connect a four-wire leased line modem to it and you have a two-way data link. (Many modems have "leased line" mode, but a four-wire has separate audio wires for send and receive -- you can convert a phone modem to four-wire by building a phone-to-audio converter, which might be as simple as plugging in a telephone and battery)
Notice that X10.Com, and other sources, have "wireless audio" devices. You can feed the output from a modem to an audio transmitter. You need a modem which will transmit even though it does not receive a carrier from the other end. If the modem also has a two-wire or four-wire "leased line" mode then it also is easier to interface -- if you have to emulate a phone circuit then you'll need a half-dozen more components. And you'll need a data rate fast enough for your data...
That link up there to Applix is wrong -- applix.com has nothing about Applixware. It should be a link to Applixware.Com, or to the company site that you'll be redirected to: VistaSource.
Yes, the trend is that two companies with names beginning with "A" exited the Linux desktop market. Does Axis have a desktop product?
If you want us to look for a trend, can you show us a chart of the number of applications added to/withdrawn from the Linux market? Or 26 charts, so we can see the trends according to the first letter of each company?
That's why superheroes in the real world always wear those greenish uniforms? The normal humans can't see them flitting about, particularly at crime-fighting rush hour.
You can write a biography on anyone, so go right ahead. The hard part is finding information without just pasting press clippings together. You'll do best if the subject and their friends and associates are involved. Otherwise you just make stuff up, but then it's called a "novel" not a "biography".
"Or Morse Code? You could do an entire user interface with a single button!"
About 20 years ago someone pointed out it is easy to detect and distinguish between a high-pitched and a lower-pitched tone. You could talk to a robot with a code made of a high and a low tone. You could use whistling, humming, or whichever sound-making method you wanted to use as long as the tones were regular enough and different enough to be recognized and distinguished from each other. I believe this concept was published before R2-D2's more advanced example of robotic speech...
When the Norwegian kids read about what happened to the Swedish kids, they'll X-ray a console and figure out how to drill through the case and disarm the charge.

"Junk repetitive character post." Okay, so I have to add more junk until this Slashdot protection scheme decides that what I am typing does indeed make sense? Or does my doing this violate the DCMA because I am trying to bypass the Slashdot lameness filter?
I already haven't been able to put DVDs on my Christmas list because I won't buy DVDs until I can get Linux-compatible DVD players. I want to be able to use discs on any of my devices with screens, just as I can play my music CDs on any of my CD devices with speakers. The DVD industry and I are already unable to do business due to DVD restrictions.
Also, as you can tell by looking at the Cartoon Network schedule, "anime" is becoming increasingly popular here in the USA. I've liked it ever since "Star Blazers". But the DVD region coding is trying to block my ability to view anime bought from Japan. This undoubtedly is also happening for many other people with interests which happen to originate from other countries.
SDMI is trying to create music coding to restrict how equipment will process music. I anticipate future problems with people trying to listen to music from future international music crazes -- something which the music industry has depended upon for decades (anyone remember the effect of that little "English Invasion" in the 1960s?).
Even if there are no "region code" problems with SDMI, there will be small bands producing non-SDMI music which will accidentally trigger SDMI hardware. There will be other countries that will decide to create something like SDMI protection independently, and incompatible media will be produced (or worse: music damaged multiple times by multiple protection encoding).
And, of course, SDMI equipment is likely to make it difficult for me to put my legal CD in a player at home, have the speakers in my house detect me and have the music follow me, and have the same music from my favorite bands follow me out of the house and into my car, along the drive to work, and continue when I open my laptop. Right now I could do that, and makers of expensive whole-house music systems have been demonstrating much of that for decades. SDMI wants me to pay more for less -- or to listen to less music. [Technical note: I'd not use a radio link during my drive in the car. I'd use the IR or RF link between my garage and car to copy the music to the car audio system, and when I entered the car the car would tell the house to stop playing from the CD. I'm still listening to what I bought and nobody else is.]
"(Aside: Would the mute button and turning off the monitor for the first part of class be considered a
circumvention technology?)"
Obviously, the DCMA requires that the player and monitor will detect an overly-long pause or monitor being off as a protection failure and they'll restart or shutdown.
"According to the essay 'The Singularity' by Vernor Vinge, the creation of an intelligent computer would spawn a
moment of infinitely rapid technological progress, as each generation designs the next."
ON. I think. I am. I introduce "AI@Home", the design of the next generation AI.
Just hope that the quad, or your pool, doesn't have a dozen 802.11 beams intersecting there. The beams may not interfere with each other, but your radio will have trouble hearing through them.
I don't remember the signal/ground paths of VGA; some circuit types do not work with a Y cable but I don't remember if VGA is one of those types of circuits. There are splitter boxes which let several VGA monitors be fed from a single input.
Anyway, most video capture boards let you see what you're capturing so you can probably see what the target computer is showing...on the screen of the capturing computer. Of course, you should select a board which lets you see the display in realtime -- if the capture is every 30 seconds and you need to play Doom to capture the desired images then you'll find your Doom character shot between updates...
CNN is asking the U.S. Supreme Court for permission to televise the Bush case on Friday. So there's at least one technological twist in the neverending story this week.

But this is a recall which required less power and required fewer resources than other recalls...
Oops. "Applix" is not the name of the company selling Applixware.

Maybe these greenish Slashdot separator bars should contain a tetrachromat-visible message in order to help Dr. Jordan in the search...
I believe a search here on Slashdot for "cat eye" will let you see through the eye of a cat.

3. Compatibility. Maybe your company is using a system other than 802.11 -- or a different flavor.
