Memory prices have always be dropping... Has something to do with a statement called 'Moore's Law'..
I remember waiting for prices on 2102's to drop so we could afford to populate the other half of an 8K S100 memory card... They were $5 each, 1024 bits/chip.
Not really.. what BPL means is that people in the 1st world wont be able to recieve a weak signal from the other side of the world.
Radio waves in the bands the BPL interferes with dont propagate uniformly in all directions. At certain times of the day and with seasonal variations there are preferred propagation paths. Sometimes those paths are to the US, sometimes to Europe. Widespread usage of BPL would drown out those faint faraway signals with a local interference noise.
Why bother following the law.. It didnt seem to bother His holiness Ronald Reagan when he sold aircraft and missile parts to Iran to finance an illegal war in Nicaragua. Sure the Democrats squeaked a little, but in the end they did nothing about it.
"on EAGLE i can modify a schematic on the capture program and have the changes reflected automatically on the PCB design, and viceversa."
I wish I could get that to work with Orcad and PADS.. But iterating schematics while doing layout is a bad idea. It's a lot better to have the schematic finished before starting actual routing. You dont wast nearly as much time fixing things in the layout that got tweaked because you changed a part or package size.
They make money on fraud and refuse to identify the perpetrators. So they are party to it.
If you get ripped of and use Paypal they will not give you the identity of the person who ripped you off, but yet they do know since you can not get a paypal account without providing some sort of traceable ID. They make money on the transaction so they are profitting from criminal activity and are fully aware of it.
Decay? You mean all those extra neutrons flying about dont have anything to do with it? Those neutrons traveling at carefully determined energies intended to impact the nucleus of the U238 atoms and cause it to become unstable and break apart into two smaller ones that are usually highly radioactive? As opposed to the normal decay which merely sheds a single alpha, beta or gamma ray, leaving the original nucleus largely intact. This results in less radioactivity, not more.

Perhaps it had something to do with Reagan's State of the Union address to take place the next day. The 'Teacher in Space' joyride was a centerpiece of that speech and it would have sounded pretty silly if the Challenger was still sitting on the launchpad while Reagan was talking about how great things were.
Sitting in public with a glass tube and a lighter is going to attract some unwelcome attention, no?
Pulling on a battery powered heating coil unit that is the same size and coloration as a conventional cigarette is not going to stand out.
How it works.. You dont really burn crack, you vaporize it. This heating unit is perfect for that. Just replace the nicotine in the unit with whatever you're interested in vaporizing and inhaling. Pretty simple really.
And by that time Apple will use it's buying power to make a device that competes with it on price but still add about $50 because they like thier margin and iTunes adds some value in the market.
When you ship 2 million units a quarter, you get really low component prices, something a new competitor cant match.
The only iPod killers will be Apple themselves when they decide to quite making the things or encumber them with DRM so that they are un-usable.
What I'd like to see is the real source code for Altair BASIC. Bill's promised it would be released several times, but it seems to have been 'lost' Wonder why? Could the MS empire be built on stolen software?
Only $4000 a year, that's a deal.. I pay $500 a month for insurance that has a $2500/yr deductable. Why, because I'm self employed and dont have my employer paying part of the bill. Dont forget, in hte US, for the most part, you employer does pick up part of the bill. The reason for keeping it, if I ever have to go in for anything, having insurance keeps the bill down. If I went in for anything and had no insurance, I'd have to about 3-5X more. That's the way it works..
Whew... That roll was pretty scary on the ascent. For a few moments it really looked like he was going to lose it, then the rate slowed and we could exhale..
Heh, my first computer came with 256 Bytes of RAM.. and to add the next 768 bytes, you had to solder in the sockets. For that matter you had to solder in everything.
It played a pretty good Startrek game on the VDM-1 Altair 8800 S/N 220406

Just wait till next week when they have to repaint the Fab building, and the parking lot need re-striping too..
Hundreds of thousands...

General, Advanced and Extra licensees have HF

That's just in the US.
There are several million Amateur Radio operators world wide.

Eek.. what the hell were you doing stalls for at 100AGL?
I always climbed up to at least 1500AGL before trying any departure stalls, 7000 for a spin.
It seems like the disruption caused by turning off GPS would be greater than the incident created by using it for a guided attack.

How boring, it only uses the USB for power...
Not to mention the fun that can be had with wearing a button with a glass lens on it.
That system sounds easily spoofable.
I think he meant VC's as in Venture Capitalists,
they dont have the same rules as the employees.
Any why was there such pressure?

Probably not popular for nicotine addicts,
but I'll bet it'll be a real hit with crack and ice smokers.
Nice and stealthy, smoke your drugs right out in public without the stigma of that nasty old crackpipe.

Sure about that?

You do pay rent, dont you?
Your landlord puts the water bill in as part of your rent.
They're sneaky that way...

But you dont want to live downwind of the idiot who burns them in their garbage, or eat food grown in the fields where the smoke settles.
Or drink from the aquifer overwhich these have been dumped like so many car batteries.
