You have to start somewhere. In two years we may see something thinner, with a bigger (folding?) screen in higher res and color. Every since my kids used to beg to draw on my old palmpilot personal I knew this market had potential.
Sure, he wore a red and silver rubber suit, fought other guys in rubber monster suits. He said memorable phrases like "Hao Ki Ta". He was like a pro wrassler, always got his butt kicked until the end of the show.
Actually, the U.S. public school system is based on the Prussian model, which was designed to produce nice, docile peasants and conscripts to act as cannon fodder.
And yes, peasants used for factory work do need a little education. Not much, but a little.
What I read was they use psycics(sp) to predict crimes. The majority have to agree someone will do the deed. Cruise (a cop that chases future criminals) is accused of killing someone in the future. The "Minority Report" says he won't. The rest of the movie is a big chase.
I would really consider the Tiqit eightythree to be an all-in-one handheld. It's an 300mhz x86 PC the size of a paperback book. If anyones interested, the have new pictures here. Oh, you can order it with a choice of OS.
Every time I deal with that A-hole corporation I fell like I need a shower.
I mad the mistake recently of buying a sony satellite system. The LNB (electronic end of the dish) died. I called the people I bought it from and they told me I had to get the part direct from sony. I thought something was weird when he told me "If they give you any crap about honoring their warranty, get the supervisor's name and call us back". Sure enough, the tech basically told me to go out and BUY a replacement part! I had to get REALLY hostile before he would send me the g** damn part!
Hey, what's up? Nobody is flaming Katz. Could it be *GASP*, he is becomming acceptable?
He IS getting more readable. Shorter articles, he gets to the point and every other word isn't "Geek".
Anyway, Wired was always entertaining, and that is why you read it, right?
Nice for embedded systems, but...

doesn't another company put out credit card size systems with at least pentium class power? I seem to recall it having all the bells and whistles (VGA, serial and parallel IO, HD controller, etc.) on board. I think they start at about $600, though. I would want one of those for a useful wearable.
This little jewel is very nice though. I can see MANY uses for it. It would be perfect for high school wearable/control projects since the price is so low.
That's to keep the NSA from reading your e-mail, right? I read a book a while back about how British Intelligence listened in to Russian teletype traffic. They put a bug on the main ground rod at the Soviet embassy. The Russians, following good engineering practice (say what you want, they are damn good enginners) had tied all their grounds together to prevent ground loops. The Brits could get the encrypted copy and the clear copy, because their encryption gear was tied to the ground rod.....:)

Yeah, look at cases in offices especially. The FCC type 15 rules are MUCH tighter for stuff in the office (more stuff to interfere with) than in the home. Work places don't always follow the stronger rules (the better shielded cases cost a lot more) but big companies tend to.
You can buy snap-on chokes (basically coils) at Radio Shack to snap over all the cables leaving the case. These cut EM WAY back. You can test this with a cordles phone (old 49mhz type). Hold it (turned on) next to the cables at the back of your PC. You can hear the signals (sounds like new age music).
Last night I was working on my sons remote control truck. I set it next to my keyboard and it took off! It was picking up signals radiating from the keyboard, or more likely the keyboard cable. It acts like an antenna.
>If only those with something to hide use strong (>2048 bit) encryption, it is massively easier to determine who has something to hide. And knowing who has something to hide can be almost as useful as knowing what they are hiding.

That is the same as saying:
"If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind us police comming into your house a few times a week and looking around, just to be sure"
The WHOLE government opposition to strong encryption is just total BULLSHIT! The suppossed reasons for weak encryption, terrorists and criminals (if they are smart enough to cover their tracks, most aren't) don't use ANY encryption other than one time pads, which are UNBREAKABLE. They want to read your mail, plain and simple.
DirecTV for standard cable fare, plus PPV and about 30 commercial free, digital music channels (GREAT for ripping MP3's). Hit a lot of sites and check out clearance and returned items. I saw a new SONY system for $15 + s&h recently (www.satellite4home.com).
TVRO (big dish) for feeds (Voyager), some network stuff, NASA channel and porn (you can get these free if you look around, lots of people quit using them when the small dishes came out).
An outside antenna for local channels, plus your scanner antennas, shortwave antennas, etc.
Remember, there is no such thing as too many channels!

I wonder how cheaply the VR3 could be produced in volume? At ~$50 they could sell them as toys and clean up at Christmas.
Add an mp3 player and a CF slot and I want one.

At ~$30, it is cheaper than any PDA too.
I got one for my four year old at Christmas. It's fun to doodle on.
Someone should buy Ozzie one.
Feinstein is *SUPER* anti 2nd Amendment. She *HATES* the idea of anybody other than her bodguards having guns (they pack MP5s, IIRC).
In politics, dough matters more than guns. 7 million x $35 a year = $245000000. Talk about heads on stakes...(though I prefer pikes).

Then the RIAA uses the money to fund copy protecting CDs...
SMS bites. It does a fine job of crashing systems, especially laptops. Hell, it's almost as good as Win95 at bringing down boxen.

I'm lazy and the time change has bit me hard.
What's the current status with mozilla? Is it as usable as Netscape 4.x (I hate 6.x)? Does it do any nasty or weird stuff on some sites?
Is it worth my time to try or should I hold out for 1.x?
Here's how to remove the "Brilliant" code.
IIRC, it was more like "Get that child off my bridge!".

There, I feel better now.
You are so right, music companies HAVE to have 14 billion a year.
What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong. The law very often has nothing to do with right and wrong.

Read "The Puzzle Palace". It will answer your questions.
BTW - I THINK THE NSA IS GREAT AND CONGRESS SHOULD JUST LEAVE THOSE HARD WORKING PEOPLE ALONE.
really.
