    No, it's not low-fi like some noobs may think, many early CD's were actually recorded using this exact hardware and later "digitized" and burned to CDs

    Alot of CD's used to spell it out for you with ADD , AAD and DDD on the back cover and on the CD. These initials refer to the track recording, mix-down and transfer to CD respectively.

    Of course this is our point of view, they see it differently because they write the laws for us. There is no more We.

    Yes, it's called Television Programming for a reason. It's job is to prepare you for your role in the social/economic system, Inspire you to be the super productive slave/bitch that we are and make us feel that over achieving in the norm. The bad guy always falls in the end even though he is glorified during most of the program. Thats what you are to beleive.
    P.S. You are feeling very sleepy. You can't even feel your government(/the rich folk) lifting your wallet out of your pocket.

    Also, don't forget that you will have to put the beam through a plane of glass that will reflect a lot of the beam away.

    Yes, reflected and refracted rays need to be accounted for along with beam divergence. This can easily be worked out. Note the divergence of the beam over the intended distance, compensate by adding more laser pointers.
    Two things happen as your imperfect beam diverges. First, your beam covers more area so you don't need to aim as well. Second, you loose wattage and need to add beams. If your 1 square mm beam of a given power becomes 2 square mm at your intended distance, you would need to quadruple your number of beams and have them converge on the same "point" in order to have the same power per square mm. now picture a huge array of laser pointers.

    About that beam reflcting of the windows. given the location of the beam (end of the runway?), angle of the plane descending and the angle of the window mounted relative to the planes body, you could compensate for the wattage of rays that reflect off the outer surface of the glass and the rays that have Total Internal Reflection off the cockpit side of the glass which means you might double the number of lasers for the given job.

    Lastly, You need to do so, near an airport, WITHOUT GETTING NOTICED!! have fun.

  12. Useless Technology on Animal Cloning Comes to Hollywood · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should be spending their money on promoting the idea of saving sheltered and stray animals. We don't need more puppy mills. We need to save the ones that are going to get killed tomorrow because they shopped at the puppy mill today. Pure breeds with papers should be down played while saving the sheltered should be turned into a status symbol. Hollywood could fuel this change if they wern't such pompus assholes.
    I have an idea, Lets clone Britney so we can put Madonna "down".

    So, You're saying that slashdot should scratch that "Stuff that matters" from its logo just because some people post angry replies full of "You suck, Thats screwed and Take a course!!!"???? If slashdot is a waste of time it is your fault. If slashdot is useful it is your fault. Slashdot is what "you" make it. Someone should take your semi-informative post and reword it so it's appealing.

    aka the tyranny of the majority.

    Just don't lump all the minorities into one pile because they would then become the majority. That's a dirty little secret that they don't want you to find out. For instance, if you add up the number of folks who voted anti-bush with the folks who are so fed up with the system that they didn't bother voting for either of the bastards, you would arive at the number/percentage of the US that hates george bush. Anyone care to do the math?

  16. Re:some people on Poland Blocks European Software Patent Vote, For Now · · Score: 1

    Luckily some people still live in the free world. Too bad you can't see it from New York. The illusion of patents giving the little guy a fighting chance, to compete with those with the cash to bring products to market quicker, is an out right lie. The little guy can't afford a few patents on his invention. We sign our thoughts over to our master, Who benifits even after they make us "redundant". We'll just sit here and act like that wasn't in the plan from the get go.
