No Sony:
I can say that I only have one Sony product left in my house. I have not bought Sony in years because of DRM, rootkits etc... When I am ready to update the camcorder I'll be free of Sony for good. I've been browsing for devices that support open codecs and will buy something soon.
No Microsoft:
I run linux on home built PCs. My Mother, Mother In law and Wife also run linux and haven't been 'infested' ever since the switch (10 years now?) and maintenance is nil. To Me, Microsoft Windows is a rootkit for everyone else to log into your PC.
Oracle:
They are on my blacklist but I would never have bought anything from them anyway.
I stepped into a Walmart once. Knowing that they hire part time in order to avoid health benefits for the citizens, I have not been there in many years.
Funny, two days ago I sent Google a suggestion regarding datasheets. If someone types in 74HC[anyhing] etc... We want the.pdf, not a link to bogusdatasheets.com. Hell, just make it easier to select filetype:pdf in a checkbox, on the search or results page.
My credit card ends in the digits 9090. I pronouce it "ninety ninety". My wife says it is "nine oh nine oh", (...as in the Mork greeting) and gives the hand guesture.
Maybe this tells us more about what the air is doing than what the sand is doing. Chaotic particles spiraling down end up it in each others draft and stay there. (think nascar drafting)
>>>Note: >>> In dsl, launch a terminal and type something like "ssh -p 443 -X "

1. Have a pc "at home" (your parents house?) running linux with openSSH on port 443 (https). The school (or work) will always allow outbound traffic to a secure website. You could be talking to your bank for all they know.
2. On a Windows machine (with bigbrother trojan installed), run the QEMU VM by downloading DSL embedded. It is DamnSmallLinux running in a VM. the qemu.exe, support files and your DSL install can fit on a pendrive. Alternately, you could install a full linux system into a 10gig img file for qemu use. etc...
Note:
In dsl, launch a terminal and type something like "ssh -p 443 -X "
This will SSH to port 443 at home with X11 support to run graphical apps. once logged in type "firefox" or whatever.
Also, you parents router will have to DMZ the linux box or forward the port(443)
You will be running the software of the home PC, your school computer will just be remote controlling the home PC over and encrytped connection.
I have also done a simular setup using NoMachine.
There is a lot of learning here if you are not familiar qemu or linux.
With the Olympic committee censoring the athletes and their families, dis-allowing blogging regarding the events, only allowing certain networks to cover the event, etc...
The Olympics and China are a perfect match.
Furthermore, NBC Universal(having exclusive rights) are teaming up Microsoft(a convicted monopoly) to bring you internet coverage using Silverlight(closed, proprietary, no Mac or Linux) technology for the coverage of events in (the censored country of) China.
Forrest M Mims -Getting Started In Electronics...is a fun and informative starting point for the basics. It is kinda high school level in its presentation but covers most topics. It was my main source of 'basics/teach yourself' as a mechie. I eventually found my way to wiring PLCs, creating sensors, etc. In my role as a Mechanical Technician, I now perform power usage studies on products and fully automate our prototypes.(PLC wiring and Programming)
...and then he could VNC to his 'Laptop w/USB Storage Device' which is safe and sound at home.
The plus side being that he could keep an eye on his porn... i mean P2P traffic while leaving no trace at work (assuming there is room left on the USB device).
Or perhaps Microsoft wants to persuade Linux users to report an MS user agent in order to skew all OS usage studies. If all websites think there are no Linux users, why code for Linux users. Why write drivers for Linux users. It's about managing perception.:)
I think it is worse than that. Microsoft needs to stop FOSS from running on windows. Anyone who has used Firefox, OpenOffice, Gimp and many other applications may realize that no one needs windows anymore. If you don't need windows, you don't need AV software. If microsoft convinces AV providers to go "white list" on everything, Microsoft can disable/hobble the FOSS/Linux enabler and the AV firms get to live. They are scratching each others back as usual. Microsoft of course needs to stay in the background on this in order to stay out of the monopoly spot light. The leaches are colluding. Now that the whole SCO thing is about to implode, Microsoft is putting the next road block in place.

Why develop it for a phone that nobody uses (or wants)?
I say Forbid the companies from banning each others products and let the numbers decide the winner.
Best ever Apple comment, thank you.
I'm gonna go have a snack now, I'm feeling hungry for some reason.
Very well put. ...and besides, where the f are all you people going?
Stay home. Stay local. Stop wasting resources.

>>Funny as Apple/Jobs pushed music labels to release their music DRM free
Apple only did this because they couldn't compete with MP3's / vorbis etc....
They designed, and wanted to keep the walled garden but could not compete with openness.

I edited hello.c to display "Fuck Yeah!!!" and compiled it with tcc. It ran as expected. :)

I couldn't agree more. I was going to post a similar response.

I sure hope shit is figurative even if garbage isn't.

I like this one, but what I have done is: (IIRC)

The reason I recommended the ESI480A is because it has nearly all the features of a $400 DMM (The Fluke89 was expensive 6 years ago) for $40.
I glad you agree with the Forrest Mims book. I enjoyed it very much and have even looked back at it recently.

METER EXAMPLE: ESI480A
http://www.toolsusa.com/asp/item_detail.asp?T1=PBE%209WT%20ESI480A&trackcode=YahooShopping&WT.srch=1
Features you will immediately / eventually want in a meter:
(aside from standard features like ac/dc volts, resistance)
-Autoranging
-DC AMPS = 10.0
-Diode Test ->|-
-Capacitance -|(-
-Relative Reading(ability to zero the meter)
-Freq(Hz) / Duty cycle(%) / ms (to measure pulse trains/PWM)
I use that meter at home.
I use a Fluke 89IV at work because I didn't have to pay for it. (Fluke is gold standard in DMMs)

Wow, It's Steak, bj AND Pi day? This couldn't get any better!
For the un-initiated:
Feb 14 is Valentines day.
Mar 14 is Steak and bj day. (men need a holiday too, One that we actually want.)
Agreed.

1) The second word in the patent abstract does not describe, even remotely, the person playing guitar hero.
2) They didn't bother to mention karaoke in the 'References Cited', which comes closer to the patent than a video game does.
3) Watch South Park's 'Guitar Queer-o' episode!
