Where the f' are tasers or mace illegal??? Neither is lethal to 99.99+% of the population. Heck a stake nife is more lethal! I bet it's the same stupid places that try to outlaw guns thinking that there is no chance the criminals will ignore the law and get them anyways. This jacket sounds like a really good idea, women joggers or those working night jobs in rough neighborhoods are sure to find it attractive, of course at the $1K pricepoint it will be very niche, it needs to come down in price about 5X
Not everyone becomes physically addicted to caffeine, I used to drink a 2Liter+ of Mt. Dew a day and for the last couple months I hadn't had any daily caffeine intake, in fact the can of redbull I had this morning was the first caffeine in quite a while and that was just because I have had 10 hours sleep this week. I don't expect any withdrawl symptons and I've never had em before.
Combine it with throw away forwarding addresses from people like the good folks at sneakmail.com and you don't even have those problems, just whitelist sneakmail. and the instant you recieve spam on the sneakmail address report whoever gave the address out to the relevant people and throw it away. That way you can be sure who is selling or giving away their contact lists, or who is dumb enough to get stupid email viruses and not lose the ability to block 99.99+% of spam. Of course I just receieve everything and let the smart software figure it out (Bayesian filtering) but I can see how that aproach would work for some people.

My false negative rate using Mozilla Bayesian filtering is way less than 1%, and the false positive rate since training is non-existant. Of course I do go back about once a month and re-train it with both positive and negative datasets but if you don't do good training how can you expect good results, it's almost like training a pet.
That would be a very bad thing. Speaking as someone who absolutly loves a fine winter wine for desert (sp?) I must say that the elimination of frost from wine would be an awful thing.
I can see something like this being usefull if it supported 802.11b. In more and more enterprise environments.11b is becoming ubiquitous, I know MS, Cisco, and many other large corporations have basically all of every building covered. But being tethered to the distance covered by a single basestation kind of makes it rather useless, if you are close enough to the PC to be in communications with it why not just use the keyboard?
Instead of using a bag the rainbow vacuum forced the sucked air through a tank of water, all of the dust and sediment was trapped by the water and the air stream escaped. Very, very good for trapping dustmite feces and other things that were not caught by traditional bag vacuum's. Like I said though they have been supersceded by HEPA bags. btw the Rainbow vacuum also kept up 100% sucktion until the water was supersaturated, normally about 1500sq feet if vacuumed twice a week. My point was that if the need is there $400 is not that outrageous, I've spent several times that on a vacuum.
I guess it depends on your needs and the specifics of the vacuum cleaner. Before HEPA filter vacuum's my folks bought a rainbow water vacuum, it filtered the water through a tank of water, catching some 99.99% of particles. It also cost over $1,000. This might seem like a lot, but compared to the agony of living with alergies it was nothing. Now of course you can get a HEPA filtered bag vacuum for under $100 and the bags are around $10 apiece.
It's really not that expensive, if you capture one large customer it's probably worth it. Cisco/Aironet has one coder who does the driver and support software for Linux and one primary tester who spends a lot of his time on testing the Linux stuff. These two together probably make somewhere in the $200K range when benifits are added in, not a whole lot when yearly sales are around $100 million. In addition there is a community developed driver made from resources that Cisco/Aironet made available to an outside developer.
Are you on crack, the 686B has one of the most f'd up PCI buses in existance, in addition the PCI->ISA bridge is bug ridden. VIA totally ignore about 1/3rd of the PCI 1.1 spec with that chip. Trust me I own a mobo with a KT133a and 686B and I can't wait to get rid of it for a SiS 746 based one once I get over this unemployment thing.
If you've never used a google ad you are missing out. Unlike 99% of sites their ads are on target and if you are looking for a product rather than information they will almost always be a good place to look. In fact in my decade+ of web surfing I believe google is the only site that has led my by ad to a place I bought something =)
Wowsers, $1300, I haven't paid that for a PC since my first one in late 92. That's one expensive toy, for that kind of money I think I would go with a wireless pad computer since it's already much too large for the pocket form factor.
It will work, it will just reduce throughput. Overlapping channels are a non-issue in bridge mode. Basically the bridges are acting as clients to main AP with the omni, there is no problem with multiple clients talking on one channel or 802.11 anything wouldn't work. Personally I would use 802.11a for the backfeed because you would get more bandwidth, less rain fade, and would not risk interference with the site AP's. In reality I doubt it matters all that much because their uplink will probably not be faster than 2 T1's which is the minimum you should get even on a shared.11b backfeed like this.
Making a PDA wireless makes it infinitly more usable. You can receive your email on it, browse the web, connect to VNC servers (not for apps but for emergency maintenance), do VoIP with it, etc. And then there are things like data aquisition that are more vertical market but which can often be accomplished with a wireless PDA rather than an expensive purpose specific device.
What you are looking for is a heated NEMA enclusure. Many places sell them for a variety of applications including wireless. Here is one specifically designed for wireless and with the failover heaters it can operate down to -45C.
There are two reasons for not going for lower voltage, number one is loss, over 100m of cabling you get a lot of power loss at lower voltages. The second is that +44 is a common telco rack voltage so a lot of telecom equipment is already setup to use it.
Firewire does it over 10m, POE does it over 100m with Cat5 cabling (well at 10W maybe even over Cat3). I know when I was working with the Cisco/Aironet guys that they had a customer who was having some problems with POE, turns out they were trying to use 100m drops of ancient barely Cat3 cable to power their AP's in some location, problem was that this was there wasn't enough power for the boot cycle, if we attached a power module and booted it then removed the power then it would use the POE just fine but the bootup sequence used more than the average power and the Cat3 was just too lossy.
For the 386 the SX line was differentiated by having a 16bit bus instead of a 32bit external bus. This allowed it to be used as an upgrade to 286 systems because little redesign was needed. Both the 386DX and 386SX have companions coprocessors that sat on a dedicated bus, they were the 387DX and 387SX respectivly. For the 486 Intel re-used the designations, the SX chip was essentially a DX processor where the FPU had failed validation or where it was never tested and simply disabled for marketing reasons. The naming convention was brought over again for marketing reasons, the SX was the lower performing processor and the DX was the higher performing and more costly version.
Yes, but unlike vector processors of old these ones are at or ahead of general purpose chips for technology. They are also extremely cheap which is exactly opposite of traditional vector processors. A parallel array of GPU's might be interesting though I doubt that would end up as cheap because all of the glue logic would be one off, it might be better just to combine dual cpu 1u units with AGP cards and use the cluster for multiple types of problems, some running on the cpu's and some running on the GPU's.
We are legally bound NOT TO report anything even if discovered on a routine call, not our job.
No, you are contractually bound not to. Legally it depends on the state, but in most states not reporting a felony is itself a crime. Some states have specific statutes that provide for more severe criminal charges for computer professionals who fail to report kiddie porn. What you were told in orientation and the letter of the law are aparantly different things. This isn't morality, it is part of being a member of society, reporting felonious acts is a duty of every citizen.
Yes and here in Cleveland a woman had a restraining order taken out against her contacting the police involving child abuse aligations against a neighbor. Not 6 months later the police arrested the neighbor for placing 5 children in her care in a closet for MONTHS including a 12 year old that weighed only 45 pounds. Although I dislike child welfare services and think that they have too little oversight I think that a couple of false allegations are a small price to pay to save even one child from such horrors.
Well unless some sucessor to COPA is not struck down by the supreme court due to the fact that artistic renderings and computer generated images are NOT child porn then it's not a felony. The issue is that children are irreperably harmed during the production of child porn and so the mere possesion of it is contributing to the problem. This is the law as it stands. Several states have already passed laws that make it a crime to NOT report the discovery of kiddie porn, I don't care what my employer were to say about proper channels or embarasment, I am not going to take on the liability of potentially being charged for not reporting it.
No HR is NOT the proper channel, a FELONY was commited, the only proper channel is the police. Why is that so hard for people to understand. If a murder occours in the lobby do you call HR? No, you call the police. HR is for minor squables or at the most sexual harasment claims, not for serious felonies.

Better yet use a decent sized magnet attached to the drills chuck and just keep the dust and shavings attached to the drillbit.
