The LED was my first thought and then i realized that the bug could use the "voice recorder" in the phone and only transmit the data in parallel to your normal phone calls. The phone has memory; voice data can be recorded at much lower bit rates than music, reducing the file size dramatically. Battery removal coupled with the LED would seem to be the only option... But... There is the posibility that a very small battery/cap can power the recorder for some time after the main battery is removed. Since you would remove the main battery RIGHT BEFORE a sensitive conversation, the alternate battery would not need to last long. You have my condolences regarding your civil liberties and human rights. The only reason these violations can continue is because we are far to dependent on the electrical grid and such that we cannot stage a proper revolution. We are a victim of our own fear of the elements. Excuse me, I have to go hide under my roof with my warm heating blanket.

>>>best volume sellers, primarily because they were the cheapest... most customers were buying the boxes to install Windows on them.
1) It is sad that "Linux means cheaper" to these people. Linux is for powerful workstations, It happens to be shared freely and openly because that is desirable to those who need/want it. So what if it scales down to your POS PC.
2) Linux users upgrade the stuff that matters. (not the outside box)
If I bought a new box everytime I wanted all the electronics upgraded in my PC I would need my own personal land fill.
3) Why the hell would anyone install windows on anything? morans!
I could understand ditching Linspire for Ubuntu or Fedora Core, but windows??:)
>>in Iraq or elsewhere and plunk down $1000 and say "run this", most will bite.
He is right, you can't just plunk down $1000 bucks an say run this. That is beneath the high morals in the US. You need to plunk down $150,000 from your official military top secret account.
>>>they can do it all themselves with a few thou's worth of recording gear and a friendly web host.
Sadly, the RIAA thinks they will be able to limit the supply of microphones, analog to digital converters and Digital to analog converters and perhaps speakers.
Microphones are just air pressure sensors that produce a relative voltage. ADCs are used amost anywhere any sensor would get used to convert voltages to numbers. DACs are used for controlling various mechanical devices and optical systems by converting numbers to voltages. Speakers are just voltage controlled solenoids with a cone attached.
Everything between the ADC and DAC are just data points. (voltage levels that change at a moderate frequency.)
If you look at a stock chart, you are just looking at data points over time. Recorded digital music is the same thing, Just data points over time. (usually 44.1 thousand data points per second)
Not only will this be technically imposible for the RIAA to enforce, But it will never go though because it would allow the RIAA to be the ONLY Recording Industry Association in America. As much as our Government and lobbiest would like that, they wouldn't be so bold.
This would also be pointless unless the RIAA could become the Recording Industry Association of Earth. Currently we can get our MP3s and OGGs from France.:)

The whole purpose was to legitimize the patent in order to slow down competitor number 3, 4 and 5.
...Of course that ALL look alike though.
CHOICE 1: Get the patent squashed, anyone can copy.
CHOICE 2: Settle in order to legitmize the patent, share the toll booth.
This is most likely a move to keep sandisk at bay with that new look alike.

For once in my life I agree with MS.

You obviously did not read back far enough to see who did and didn't have an idea.
I have another idea too. Go back ad do your homework.
