Anyone even RTFA... They had a previous with ethernet ports. This thing is a (FORWARD-thinking) change from this to reduce physical size. For a large percentage of the real world, having drivers that allow it to work on Windows only is sufficient.
Depends on the state. I am from Canuckistan (Canada), but I recall a news broadcast about someone who video taped a cop on their front porch but it was not admissible in court because in that state (New England??) both parties must consent.
What about an easy, convient way for the masses to share files. Lots of people don't have access to or don't know how to upload something to an FTP site. This will resolve that issue for when someone wants to give you a file >10MB (which causes email headaches)
We've seen this too, but only with specific chip sets, and only ever on the "extra" USB ports. The ones on the back that are directly attached to the motherboard have all been fine, however the ones on top and front of case have the problems. I believe it is some sort of grounding problem. As such we have blanked out / disconnected those other ports and have yet to have any fail.
Re: The summary makes it sound like prosthetics fused to the bone and controlled by the nervous impulses are here, but they certainly are not yet.
That part is already available (at least experimentally). I work in the P&O (Prosthetics & Orthotics) field and have met a person with an ABOVE KNEE amputation who has had a prosthetic limb attached to teh bone for at least a couple years. Here however, the bigger issue is that the there are concerns about long term effects of fusing to the bone.
When using the traditional socket, if there is a problem you get early notice. If you fuse to the bone, and there is a problem, you run the risk of damaging the bone and having to amputate a little higher. It is available, but I would put it up there with breast implants... seems like a good idea, but perhaps all the risks are not yet known.
How many times have we heard htis, yet having used both cable and ADSL (in Vancouver, Canada) there is NO noticeable difference to the end user. If anything my service from teh Cable company has been marginally better.
Also an engineer... In that case, why not marry the concepts. Build walls of concrete, and roof structures from fibre glass. Could also put fibreglass sections inside the concrete, since concrete is quite bad in tension... the fibreglass portions could re-inforce the concrete sections where they may be subject to bending (tension and compression depending on what side you look at).
RTFA... they didn't just sit on it. In fact at some point Microsoft was in negotiations to buy SAID technology. They must have been out actively marketing it, then got hamstringed by one potential buyer.
This can be very annoying. Like lots of/.ers out there, I have a work laptop. I have it configured to use my companies ASMTP so that when I travel I don't have to reconfigure everywhere I go. This didn't work at home with my previous provider when then decided to cut off external Port 25 access without warning and without a grandfather clause to get mine opened... since it required a static DSL account.
I know you are kidding, but the programming software for the C-Leg runs on Windoze and uses serial communication to program it to the individual user's gait (the way that they walk).
Don't know what kinda of embedded OS is onboard though.
I've met many civilians with this leg, it is arleady out... and has been for many years. There are already similar devices from other companies. IIRC the US is one of the largest markets for the C-Leg due to teh medical insurance being better than in many other places.
The C-Leg is made by Ottobock (a German company), the largest supplier in the P&O (Prosthetic and Orthotic) market. Another company (Proteor, of France) makes many knee joints as well.

I bought it twice ... for PC and for my Wii.
Totally worth it.
Fun little game and my 3 and 4 year old girls enjoy it and don't even realize they are learning too ... hehehe
You must be new around here.

I've been using multi monitor set-up for a while, but found that the rotation seems nice, but for text sucks, because then ClearType cannot work.
Cleartype makes text SOOO much nicer to read. To throw that away is impossible for me.

Rockbox info is cool, but I really hope you didn't convert from MP3 to OGG.
You will lose sound quality. You should go back to the original.
Don't you mean last post?

Hmmm ... some people take more than one flight. WiFi is great for the potential hour or three waiting for the conecting flight.
Be reasonable. There are people with travel habits different then your own. I am one, there are thousands of others everyday.

For people in the industry this is OLD news ... the CLeg has been around for ages.

Many alternatives from different companies exist for the CLeg.
The myoelectric stuff is at least cool, but the CLeg?
