an MP3 on my player that consists of only my voice yelling at the listener to "WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU".
A good idea, but people will catch on that one
pretty quickly. You need to take a 5.1 channel
encoded
song and add random car honks and sirens coming
from different directions.
I know when I hear anything remotely like that
in the radio I start looking around and I only
have stereo.
53 keys isn't anywhere near enough...I get the shakes if I don't have a number pad at least.
As much as I use the number pad I would rather just
whack it off and move the mouse 3 1/2 inches closer
to where I type. That's one case where being
a lefty would have been nice. A mouse to the
left requires something like six inches of movement
where a mouse to the right takes closer to twelve.
The only real solution: copy-protect the actual audio output from the speakers, say by adding a high-energy ultrasonic screech which instantly obliterates all recording devices within hearing range.
That would be a great device for the next spy
thriller movie. Of course I won't be able to see
it because I haven't watched any live TV in ages
and I haven't been to the movie theater for even
longr than that.
This is like saying we must ban scanners and
copiers because they can be used to duplicate
copyrighted material. Especially scanners that
are hooked up to computers with Optical Character
Recognition technology. Those could put a book
on the internet for all to see (with a whole
lot smaller file size).
Giving those who have, more, and keeping those who
don't from competing isn't the way to run this
country. Make sure this piece of legislation
dies and those who sponsored it get recalled or
at least don't get re-elected.
Maybe they fixed the problems that killed them earlier,
but they sure didn't get the first glass cocpit
verson of their Soyuz right. It went ballistic
on re-entry, (and that's a bad thing).
I haven't been to the movies since, well the
last two Matrix movies came out. For a while
I thought it might be the price, but then I
have $20 of gift certificates sitting on my
desk for a few months and I still haven't gone.
There was some science fiction outer space
movie (Star something), on a few months back that
I intended to
see, but never got around to it. There is another
one out Stealth and sinse I'm into military
aircraft I thought it would be interesting, but
never made it to that one either.
I just don't have time to go out to he movies
anymore.
This new data will prove invaluable not only for the remaining shuttle flights, but also for the replacement vehicle.
I hope that invaluable information comes in the form
of, "Do NOT use briddle tiles on the
Crew Exploration Vehicle. (And don't even think about
Reinforced Carbon Carbon panels)"
I myself have a grandfathered HDTV tuner car,
so I should not care either.
I have a pcHDTV card, but it's only PCI and I
expect PCI will go the way of ISA and I know
even solid state electronics occationally go
bad. I care and I don't hardly watch tv*.
* I'm told Star Trek Enterprise was canceled,
but I still have a stack of VCR tapes to get
through before I get to the last one to find
out for sure.
I once bought a 15" CRT and didn't use it very
long before I noticed something on the screen
so I took it back, the second one had a similar
problem, the third one which I had them open and
hook up in the store was fine. I could only
describe it as the CRT equivalent of the LCD
dead pixel only it a black spot in the screen
instead of a LCD pixel which had one or more
colors all the way on.
What was it? I don't know. It looked to me
like a solder ball or part of the pigment was
missing. All I saw was a dark spot that I
couldn't stand once I spotted it.
You know about the greenhouse effect... It should
be pretty easy to built another layer of glass
over top of the glass tubes. It can't block the
light too bad or there wouldn't be as many greenhouses.
Matrox really needs to document their recover
program better. I 'think' their newer recover
program actually made things worse, I finally
used strace a few weeks of scratching my head,
and finally putting everything together. What
I needed to give the program was
recover -p 798 -o
-p 798 and 798-02 REV_A is what is printed on the
video card board (which when I pulled the board
and looked at everything I finally realized what
all those three digit files must be).
-o says to flash the bios even if the BIOS
checksum matches. Combine -o and -p and it will
load both a bios and the pin, or what I assume
may stand for pin assignment for this board?
Now I can put the TV tuner back in and watch
those 8 weeks of video tapes that have been
piling up. Hopefully I got the entire season
ending of Star Trek Enterprise!
The G200 has died two times so far, 7 more
lives to go!
Are you somehow implying that by me not having
a TV to watch I somehow contributed to the
end of Enterprise?
Or do you think computer TV Tuners count? But
then again I guess that doesn't matter much either
since it is currently sitting on the table next
to the computer because my Matrox G200 died and
now I can't even watch tv on my computer!
Look back a couple centuries and see how many
people would say that the average person was
too dumb to learn how to read or write. I don't
know about you, but I don't know anyone who
can't read or write.
They'll just have to become telemarketers for
all the projects and services that the robots
do. Hum, I'm on the
Missouri No Call list.
So now they've just obselected all those nify
device that can set the Daylight Savings time
automatically and made them wrose than stupid.
Now I'll have to remember to change them twice
a year. Once on the old Daylight Savings Time
and again on the new Daylight Savings Time change.
Who was the bright one that came up with this?
Here is a past propsed solution, Renewable Energy From Algae. We just need to make it cheap enough that every one can have their own biodiesel garden in their back yard and produce
at least a fraction of what they need to drive with. We could have commercial operations to produce the rest.
My brother said he was going to call
the other day. So I started up kphone and and
was playing around with it while I waited for
the call. I
thought I brought up a dialog that I didn't
want so I closed it. About the same time I
got the beeping that someone was calling (I've
never had anyone call me with kphone before).
I was instant messanging him saying that it was
ringing, but I couldn't figure out how to answer!
He thought it was funny too. It turns out that I did close the dialog that
had the answer button on it, and once closed
there wasn't anything I could do to answer it.
I use kphone with
http://www.freeworlddialup.com to call my
parent's VoIP phone (at least until this weekend
when it didn't ring there and I only got the
voice mail).
My solution is to just not run
kphone unless I'm going to make a phone call.
No one can possibly telemarket to me when I'm not
running my SIP phone.
That's the way I go, tv tuner. No actual TV in
the house. I record Star Trek Enterprise and
watch it when I want, or lately when I get
around to it. I'm only two weeks behind now.
Between that and skimming through the Voyager
re-runs, that is the only TV I watch.
That was my first suggestion when I saw it.
I thought it was pretty cool and I showed it to
one of my cousins that is in middle school,
or was it elementary at the time?
For some first steps it is pretty darn easy,
you can get buy without even using variables
to start with and run a hard coded loop. The
event based system allows it to fire when
another robot shows up in it's radar. Definately
a first suggestion for anyone starting with
computers.
If he is patenting the process of adding weights
to a watch I could care less (and I didn't want
to work woth lead anyway). I just hope
he isn't trying to patent the idea of 39 extra
minutes in a day.
I've just never hard of anyone giving something
away and saying 'you must use it on average
an hour a day', and then follow it up by saying
'we'll be watching.'
USB is also "hot swappable," which means
users no longer need to reboot their
computers when they want to plug or
unplug their USB-enabled devices.
Give the author a computer dictionary, hot plugging. Hot swappable means you won't
fry your computer when the power
is on and you plug a device in or remove it. I expect
there are many devices out there that you still
have to reboot after you plug them in (for
windows at least), heck, just installing some
software does that.

Now that would be pretty silly right? Well someone came up with a little 'c'. Copyright © 2005 I know, let's let people copy stuff as long as it doesn't have the little 'c' on it? Anyone who owns the material could have the approved list of devices that can ignore the little 'c' and print it, everyone else, well can't put a little 'c' on their work or they just can't distribute it.
Giving those who have, more, and keeping those who don't from competing isn't the way to run this country. Make sure this piece of legislation dies and those who sponsored it get recalled or at least don't get re-elected.
The way you make it sound I would be worried that they would go back to congress and get yet another copyright extension.
Maybe they fixed the problems that killed them earlier, but they sure didn't get the first glass cocpit verson of their Soyuz right. It went ballistic on re-entry, (and that's a bad thing).
