MP3 or CD in a box, just make the thing reuseable and you could sell it at the end of your exibit and make a profit from the next guy. CD in a box with an industrial strenght Play button would be my choice, build in a mechanical or electronic delay for those DH who press play twice, or have an LED to say that the message is coming. or clock+counter+EEPROM+DAC+filter=solid state player.
Asbestos Gloves? You were lucky! Back in my day they made us inhale the asbestos to stop our lungs from failing in the heat. We wrapt the lead cans with the bodies of our dead mates and carried the molten lead to the chip factories. Unary? the only people that knew about numbering systems were the paymasters and Unary was the only method approved for working out wages......seems like very little has changed...
The USA 'dominates' because they buy in the people and the work. If people get sick of moving projects to the USA then it LOOKS like USA is loosing, but really it's more a case of people doing the work in their own country. For years business has moved low end jobs off-shore, now it has come back to bite them.
As a married man with wife and kids, my assets fall into the hands of my wife and she has access to them now, anyway. I expect that my highly prized computer collection will end up in a dumpster, My webspace is shared with my kids, the only thing that is locked up is my own computer and my email, they are of interest to only one person, me. When I die, they reformat the harddrive, my existance on this planet is only then represented by a brass plaque, and short memories, 'such is life'.
What?/. is connecting people with the real world, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
To clear out the kludge or more usually to go to a larger HD, MacOSX includeing Developer tools, QuakeIII, Urban Terror mod, Photoshop elements, X-Plane, MS Office. Mostly everything is then in-place or waiting to be used on my second HD, No extra installs needed. I only have OS and essentials on the main HD, incase of a crash.
Two US companies that I have work for, in OZ, don't pay overtime at all. They say that it is built into your 'package'. This is not a trend as it has been the situation for many higher paid public servants for 30+years in Australia.
until you prove your worth and skill, you join the line of burger flippers at the local hamburger place. Finishing with a degree is common today, in an industry that has a million people with the same qualifications. I had a fellow working for me with a degree in electrical engineering and a degree in computer science, he was opening housings and removing PCBs, he progressed to a postal worker.

you can publish hardware projects, and link to software, or suggest that software is available, without breaking any law. YOU may be breaking the law if you use a particular conbination of hardware and software illegally. Another example is projects that program smart-cards, software is not provided with the hardware.
Linux is displacing WINDOZE as a desktop, not MacOS. I look at it more like people are choosing to use LINUX instead of Windoze, mainly because the Mac market share hasn't disappeared, and most LINUX distros run on wintel hardware, which is not where MacOS is. More misdirected anti-Mac hype...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
the FTA has to be ratified by the Governments of both countries, so it's not a totally done deal. As much as I like Yanks, I hope that it fails, as the US with the FTA would have indirect control of more of our lives, and I don't need that.
with less than 10% of people using broardband, and the hi initial cost of computers and the simple GUI attached to every telephone, and telephones are VIRUS free, and similar software being available for years, it'll make no difference to the current telecom industry. G3 mobile phones are years ahead of this, with video and picture messages etc.
Australia's experience is that all cell phones have much more features than needed, it's just the evolution of the device. We now have one company offering video calls for the same price as voice between phones on the same network. Even the cheapest phones are full of goodies. A smaller market also means that we get older model dump into our market as pre-paid services.
I have seen a keyboard that was made from laptop key. very soft and quiet, nice styling, I think it had a Viewsonic logo on it and was pretty cheap (no pun)

As the user of a very old email address, spam is now running at about 95% of all incomming email. I find the 33% too low to believe.
NO, 99.9% of the world don't give a shit about running linux on windows. For them, running is just a means of getting from one place to another.
this article is 4-6 months old, I'm sure it has been on /. before, 'cause I have seen the pics before. yawn is restarted.....
unfortunately I do use my browser history to back-track through sites when researching aircraft etc. but I should be more organised.

they are asking $3000 to settle out of court or about $100 per song they will be asking if it gets to court.

It could also mean an end to XBOX mods (etc) and Multi-zone DVD players which are legal in Australia, but not legal in USA.

could have been a lot better, just another MB in a box case mod...yawn
glad I'm not in the Windows paddock
MacOSX source is available free, it's the GUI that's 'proprietry'.
