five batteries from the same batch, run them through a few charge/discharge cycles (do not have to have phones, you -can- just test the batteries)
then, slap these stickers on two of the batteries, duct tape them up so you don't know which is which. drop in a box, shake, number jumbled batteries then run through more cycles.
note which two appear to have better performance, then take tape off and publish results.
course, I don't have the money or equipment to test and cycle the batteries, anyone with disposeable income and too much free time care to try this out?
why is nobody assuming that by the time valve goes under there are going to be a -lot- of ways to get around the authentication, considering there are already preliminary ways around both the authentication and the securom 5 stuff.
In my opinion, by the time valve goes under your gonna be doing the same for HL2 that you do with every ancient game you want to play again. grab it off the underdogs. along with the tools to get around the authentication and need for a CD in the drive.
i've worked with digital tape camcorders, and all you do is plug it into the computer, tell it where the different shots start and end, then batch record them to the harddrive. it really isn't time consuming as usually you have to review the shots anyway to see which ones you keep.
and yes, the tapes degrade, but if it's recorded as digital you can record over them a stupid amount of times before you start to see any digital artefacts.
the real time consuming part is the editing, which doesn't need the camera at all. the only time i can see the tape being hugely more time consuming then the purely digital is if you were to plug it into a vcr and hit the record button to tape the shots you want in sequence, as with the purely digital camcorder you would fast forward/rewind shots instantly, so you'd save time fast forwarding the tape...

yes, and done. theres been stuff like LCD clock keychains that are just a small peice of black plastic and a transparent LCD screen for about a decade.
there are public toilets in melbourne that have that 'insta-frost' glass that's clear when the stalls are vacant, and LCD turns them frosted when occupied.
however, the frosted glass isn't ordered, the crystals don't have to be aligned in any particular way. fabricating an LCD that goes from clear to black that's large enough for a window has prooven something of a challenge, but i'm pretty sure it's been done.
hmm, 100 to 1000 times more efficiently eh? you know, as in sucks less batteries as opposed to "100 to 1000 times better" or "more accurate."
they're basically saying they can do what a desktop does only with less power, and last time i checked, a desktop wasn't very accurate when it came to voice recognition.
They seem to have forgotten that you can recognise a lot of words wtih the letters out of order as long as the first and last letters are in the right spot. in fact there was a slashdot article on it a while ago.
"our DSL was down for most of the day......so it was impossible to even attempt to get a free month out of them."
so your entitled to a free month why? your DSL died because of a goddamn storm, theres not much tech support can really freaking do. do you call up and bitch at the power companies and demand free electricity when a storm nocks down powerlines and plunges you into darkness for a few minutes to a few hours?
or you could, you know, play the game and discover that *gasp* it's nothing like that and people at large there are friendly and willing to help.
besides, it's beta, we're not even sure the mines pollute this time 'round. it's on the list of things to check, but we're too busy trying to figure out the new mining system x.x
i was under the impression that.au did the first scramjet test that wasn't bolted to a table.
was built mostly off the shelf, although, the only way they could get it to go fast enough to fire the engine was to point it straight down and accelerate. but it did work for a few short moments before cratering.
however, i'm pretty sure the USA got the first scramjet going that moved horizontally and not straight down. but it cost a hell of a lot more and blew up on launch the first try.
i'd look up some links, but it's 2am and i really can't be stuffed.
in fact it was one of the big things about ultra wideband radio back when the first whispers about it were being heard. but yeah, technology being years old never stopped it from being posted on slashdot as 'new' before.
Slashdot Mirror
And mirroring only the first page in a multi-page article is usefull how, exactly?
I'd like to see a test.

ker-Dupe.
Flamebait my ass, he states the truth.
Karma be damned.
not just a dupe, but -two- dupes on the front page, a possible three, and a four even if you enclude yesterday.
Timothy, dude, read the goddamn site.
so now i need six more pringles cans for my end alone?
well it's about time we got one right...

what's the difference between the ipod scroll wheel and the clickable one on my mouse? or the clickable one on my ancient diamond Rio500?
just using newer more expensive technology where existing technology would to the exact same job?

my copy likes it just fine, version 7.11 in case your wondering.
dudes, if your gonna mod me down as a troll, please, make sure i'm not right first?
my point being the simple fact you can read words with jumbled letters blows rather big holes in every method except parallel letter recognition.
