If you get ripped, just follow the signal or keep track of where it last vanished (perhaps it went into a basement where it couldn't be tracked any further). Meet the crook at his/her door with a.45.
How many times do I have to tell you people?
The first rule of GPS-based loss recovery retribution fight club is:
You don't talk about GPS-based loss recovery retribution fight club!
How about *not* trying to force a format on the end user?
Taking your suggestion to the extreme, why don't we just have NBC broadcast the dialogue of Friends in XML so we are free to enact it any way we choose?
Sorry, there is something to be said for presentation.
I had a nightmarish experience this past March with Wells Fargo.
Some brainiac had gotten a hold of a cancelled check of mine and used it to write "electronic checks" (i.e. EFT debits) for various porn services as well as their cell phone bill.
As soon as I realized what was going on, I had my account number changed, but the porn charges continued. After two visits to the local WF branch and several phone calls to various levels of tele-clerks, I discovered that by default, Wells Fargo issues a "forwarding order" for all EFT debits following an account number change. The effect of this forwarding order is? You guessed it, the debits to the old checking account number go straight through to the new one. I am not sure if this is standard practice in the banking industry, but if you are unfortunate enough to be a victim of EFT fraud, make sure they put a "stop" on the old account number (seems obvious, but I guess not) when you get a new one.
As a tinnitus sufferer (brought on by noise trauma, like you), I take comfort in knowing there are celebrities such as yourself who have overcome this intrusive malady to live a happy life and accomplish great things.
What techniques/treatments have been successful for you in dealing with this disease?
What's happened is that our buddy MS has, like most large companies over the past few years, has been tucking away a few too many losses under the rug and artificially jacked up reported profits.
What's artificial or jacked up about the profits they are making on Windows and Office?
Why should the average investor care? At the end of the day they are raking in the cash hand over first, and with government sanction to do so.
I'm studying to be a bioinformatics guy with the university of melbourne and have just had the misfortune of looking into the enzymatic reactions that control oxygen based metabolism in the human body.
I tried to do a worst case complexity analysis and gave up about half way through the krebs cycle
You see, sometimes it's better to analyze the source code rather than the binary or network traffic.
Open source becomes strong through evolution, which necessarily means that the first users experience a lot of minor bugs that eventually get ironed out. Highly reliable bullet-proof systems need to be designed from the ground up.
I don't follow. Why does open source preclude the system being designed from the ground up? And what magic are closed source projects infused with, that they are born strong and without minor bugs?
I think we should adopt a monarchic system where the only performers are jesters, bards, and minstrels, who play at the behest of the king or are summarily beheaded.
I took 6.312 also and yeah, my jaw dropped the first time I saw the cannon in Tosci's, etc.
I wasn't questioning Bose's mathematical acumen, his ability to make drivers with great midrange, or criticizing him as a person. I was simply stating that his speakers are nothing special which is ironic given the MIT cachet. Before you dismiss me as a niggling audiophile, let me tell you that my ears are far from golden, mostly owing to too many sessions with speakers without precipitous drop-off above 8kHz.
Target criticism elsewhere pls.
What are heroes if they can't be questioned? I guess a second irony would be that an accomplished MIT professor and consumer electronics designer needs a fanboy undergraduate to stand up for his products and reputation?
Consider the economies of scale in manufacturing that one could achieve through worldwide standards. If companies didn't have to maintain and develop 3 different versions of all their digital/AV goodies, you'd probably be paying a bit less for the latest DVI camcorder, or at least, the same camcorder would be packing more features at that price point.
The whole point of granting some esteemed organization a vote and membership on a committee is that they use their judgement and weigh greater interests in the ballance, not whore themselves to the highest bidder.
This is exactly what MIT did. They realized that if they had backed their own standard, they might have become the "spoiler" that got Phillips' inferior standard chosen. They wanted to ensure that one of the two superior standards won, so they voted for Dolby.
Last time I listened, DTS sounded better, at least in my home theater.
I am working with previous generation equipment (and thus, standards) but I believe Dolby Digital 5.1 is something like a 448kbps (per channel) stream whereas DTS 5.1 can be full bandwidth.
Although these days many DVD's come with both DD and DTS soundtracks which leads me to believe the DTS folks started compromsing on that full bandwidth potential in order to fit on discs.

Fry's is like a box of chocolates.
It does matter because the dimensions of bandwidth are not bits but rather bits per unit time.
You don't "consume" megabits, you "consume" megabits per second.

From Psalm 23:
"Thy rod and thy staph shall come for thee."
Clearly, the rod is the bacillus bacterium responsible for Anthrax, and the staph is the aureus.
I fear the crime will stay unsolved unless it is acted upon by an outside force.

That the founder of Bose works for MIT is a self-irony, if you have actually listened to his speakers next to any other mid-fi brand's.
Does Ralph Nader ring a bell?
