That has got to be torture. Seems like a device an evil overlord would use to torture his enemies (and minions)
Change the pitch so that it is lower. (that way he can hear it too)
Get two ultrasonic speakers and position them so their interference patern is right at his front door. (Might take having a neighboor help.) Make it play sounds of doorbells ringing. Or wire his doorbell to a remote so you can make it ring. Often.
Or like others have suggested, disable the evil device in a manner that that is not noticible.
Wrap his house too (in TP.) Egg his car. Sue him for damages to your mental well being. Blame everything bad that you do on temporary insanity.
Just take a baseball bat to it, or get a neighborhood kid to do it. (Think "Office Space.") Those things aren't cheap. Maybe he won't replace it.
You could pettition the neighbors to have it removed. Call the police everyday. Have your neighbors call the police everyday. Have your neighbors gather around to tell the police that they hear it too.
Have your neighbors gather around his home with shovels, pitchforks, and torches etc. Tell him that he is being banashed from your neighborhood.
Write the local newspaper\radio\TV stations tell them your story. Tell them how the badguy makes babies cry. Get them to mention the badguy's name.
Send him brochures for local retirement homes. Give his phone number to a few of them so they can call him often.
Its sugar free and loaded with B Vitamins and herb things.
It even has an "American Made" Label:D
Great for road trips and working long nights!
The non-diet version makes me quezy from all the sugar:X
The Diet version seems sweet enough, not sure what sweetener it has(if any) but it tastes great (Citrus Based flavor) and doesn't have a nasty aftertaste like others.

I have to agree with some of the H20 Posts here.. a lot of people don't drink enough water
Anyone Remember ST:TNG episode "Pegasus" Where Starfleet had a Phased Cloaking device. Well the Federation(Capt. Picard) Came clean with the Romulans and acknowledged that They broke the no cloak Treaty.
I bet some higher-ups at Google watched that same episode!
$250K?!?!
I'd like to turn myself in!
Yep I did it!
I am such a bad person for writing viri.
Can they Direct Deposit the $250k?
Lock me up in a Prison for a year or two? Solitary please. Cause I'm really dangerous.
When I get out, my Mortgage would be paid, and I could have the rest invested and making some nice dividends. And best of all Surely DukeNukem Forever will be out by then!
1. Write a DDOS Virus Targeting SCO.
2. Wait for a bounty on you, turn yourself in.
3. Profit!
I love rewards for being bad!
From what I've read a while back, the 6000 Model uses an Ethernet port instead of a USB port. I used two direcPC Satellites about two years ago,
(one for my Geeky GF and one for me) we had some old model at first then got some 4000 models, but only the the receivers not the transmitters.
I was looking into Satellite internet again since some of my family lives out in the boonies...
Personally I'd go with Starband.com since they don't have the Fair Access Policy (FAP)
it has some high startup fees but many different plans...
The best one seems to be "StarBand Model 360
Standard Plan" with a 3 year contract, $699+S&H and $49.99/mo
As mentioned in the original post, latency sure does suck. I would go dial-up only when I wanted a hit of EverCrack. But with a Bidirectional Satellite Modem, you would have to pay extra for the dialup service, so as long as latency(gaming) isn't important then Satellite should do just fine. I eventually got rid of the service when mcloudteleco.com started offering Paradyne reachDSL service. Although it is not as fast as direcPC, it is cheaper, and there is no FAP Cap.
For more info on the FAP go here:
http://www.copperhead.cc/fap.html
Also, I was unable to connect through IPSec when using the satellite, I don't know if anything has changed since back then, maybe the 6000 model doesn't have the same limitations as the earlier versions.

I think I'd rather have the Brainfinger's solution. Except for the shaving your head part.. they basically have electodes that sense certain brainwaves.. you learn how to control those brainwaves using biofeedback(basically a graph on the screen, once you learn how to alter the levels of those brainwaves you can control the Brainfingers) it adds 10 different Controls that you can use...
Looks like the price has gone down too ($ 2,050.)
Although, surely with technological advances, the detection electrodes will become more sensitive.. I don't want to have surgery or shave my head...:/
now I suppose Surgery would be required if we eventually wanted some sort of Video and audio input directly to our brains.. A nice little DataJack that connects to the spine? Hmmm Video prolly needs to be connected to the visual cortex.
Cochlear implants already exist maybe we just need to install a mini-SPD/IF optical jack for audio input? maybe use Bluetooth for a Personal Area Network(PAN) Heart Attacks are dangerous.. I could deal with a Preventitive Pacemaker that monitors also Monitors Blood for Sugar, protien, temperature, and Heart Rate. Come to think of it my eyes aren't very good for seeing in the infrared or UV Spectrum.. or for reading newspapers a few miles away, Geordi's Visor would work, but maybe just new eyeballs would do.
Actually there is a whole list of neat bio-implants from the Shadow Run RPG that would be nice to have Adreniline Pump? super efficient kidney and liver so I can eat fish with mercury?
Lungs with a compressed O2 reserve? Anyone else have that dream where you are underwater and swimming up towards the surface, but never get there? Not to mention the ability to hold your breath when on an elevator with a bean eating fiend! Small and large intestines that are ultra effcient so you can eat less and create less waste when on your interstellar voyage.

Changing the oscillation would alter the value of a second and minute... there are certain gear ratios that could be slightly altered and a diagram the clock would still need 60seconds to be one rotation of the second and 60minutes to be one rotation of the minute hand but the gear ratio for the hour would need to be altered and the circle of hours would need to be changed too...
A Much more simple solution would be to accelerate asteroids and\or maybe a few comets and speed up the rotation of Mars by 39 minutes. that way even the people with digital watches will be happy.
Oh and for good measure NASA needs to invent a Planetary Radiation Shield since Mars doesn't have a strong magnetic field...(just like in Master of Orion 2) really just the side facing the sun needs to be shielded I think the night side can handle stray cosmic rays.. But really the planet will never be able to keep a decent atmosphere if solar wind strips the gases away from the planet...
Call me old fashioned, but I don't think that young children should go to pr0n sites.. I passively monitor the sites they go to with Linksys Log viewer
I've caught all the kids going to inappropriate sites at one point or another. Each time they get grounded from their computer for a few days or a week.
I also installed DameWare Mini Remote Control on their computers so at anytime I can take a look at what they have on their screen from the comfort of my own computer. With this setup it is kind of hard to monitor their Chat conversations.I've heard that SpectorSoft is good for Key Capture, Site Logging, Chat Logging, and Screen Shot Logging, but it costs $99. Other than that I don't actively block any sites, but when they are grounded I exclude their IP from the router. Seems I periodically remove Gator type programs from the computer that belongs to our youngest child. The Youngest is also the best at Q3A and Urban Terror! He sometimes even beats me when we go head to head.
I saw someone mention www.
thomasdistributing.com but there is also www.batteries.com and www.
onlybatteries.com.
For a really good deal go to the wholesale section.
Nothing like having 100+batteries.. Maybe find a co-worker to split the cost if you don't need so many. Mmm 100 AA NiMH 1400 mah batteries for $138.98. Sure you can get newer 2000+ mAh AA batteries, but they'll cost a lot more.
Actually I really think that the Brainfingers technology is headed in the right direction.. Sensors need more development though, I don't want to have to shave my head to use it.:/
Bio Feedback is key to learning how to control the various Brain waves that the device monitors, If I had a few extra Grand($ 2,050 + shipping)laying around I'd get the Brainfingers device! well that and a HDTV!
Back when I used to play SimCity (the original DOS game, that came with copy protection printed on red paper to prevent photocopying)I would build a city using masstransit only. Very little polution from what I recall.
I'll just have to make sure I purchase stuff from other states.. Like Texas! Directron.com is based in Houston hehe and there are pleanty of online retailers that are in NY, OH, and TX... besides shipping is usually cheaper from Texas... its just one state away from Oklahoma.
California is going to loose a lot of buisiness because of this.. if they didn't have so many socialist programs, they wouldn't have a budget defeicit.
Guess I'm just cheap!
Our Local Teleco (McLoudTeleco.com) recently implemented a nice "last mile" solution for our rural area... They installed a bunch of Paradyne "ReachDSL" DSlams... which require proprietary Paradyne DSL Modems.
Of course this would require the assistance of your Telco provider. Submit a Buisness Plan to them if they are a down to earth Teleco.. if they are a Megacorp, I doubt they'll work with you.:(
DSL is so much better for gaming than High Latency Satellite! (And Way better than Dial-up!)
Snippet from an Informative PDF:
"offering a minimum rate guarantee of 256K at a
distance of 18,000 feet (5.5 km), with typical performance

I live a little east of Moore(Stella, Newalla, Little Axe area) and we barely got any rain, if it wasn't for my trusty Midland Model 74-210 Weather Radio I would have been totally oblivous to the whole storm. I really think it is something all Okies should have! You can program your County in and you get a siren followed by an anouncement about the weather.(Even wakes me up at 2:00 in the morning sometimes! Something the Local Siren does not do) I live in a Mobile home on 5 acres of Wilderness, but a relative down the street has a Storm Shelter that a lot of the "Neighborhood" goes to. Since the Radio has battery backup, I just pluck it from the wall and throw it in the car with a few essentials(and the kids:)
Dang Tornados! This is why I want to build an Earthship!
Not only can it Power a small village, but also provide food in the form of small fried birds falling from the sky!
Won't rain water interfere with it?
I have had especially good luck with Rebates from Best Buy... they print a separate reciept for you and print a rebate form on the reciept.
CompUSA sometimes has Mail-In-Rebates, but they seem to have more Instant Rebates *mmmm Instant Gratification!
There have been rebates in the past(about 5 years ago) that I had sent but never got anything back, but all of the rebates I've sent since then I have recieved. Some times its a nice way to get things on the cheap... like Keyboards and CDs.. when the rebate is for the amount paid, the only things that you don't get refunded are the sales tax, Envelope cost, and Stamp cost... to name a few products, the Memorex Keyboard I'm typing on and the one for my wife, the pretty Blue TDK CD-Burner I got for my Wife, Blank CDs, LinkSys NICs, LinkSys Router, Lexar 64MB Compact Flash with USB reader(cause dang my Parallel one was slow). Many rebates stipulate 1 rebate per household, for those, I use my brother's or mother's, or friendly neighbor's address:) It never hurts(much) to take advantage of a good deal, but most of my purchases are made through Pricewatch.com, but Dang that shipping can kill ya when you just need a keyboard, or CDs or a NIC, and who likes waiting? At first glance it may seem silly that, there are products that are free after rebate.. but like any promotion, it attracts people to the store and those people will be exposed to other products, and those people with extra money might just be able to buy the STNG Series DVD Box set or the Robotech Anime collection, or a new video game, or a book, or a CD of a favorite band that you have all of the MP3s of, or a new optical mouse with faster response time so you can get a few more frags.::sigh:: I need to get a job so I can buy stuff!
What about Left-Handed Materials?http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2000/s plit/pnu476-1.htm
Perhaps they would be capable of focusing the beam a little tighter?... and once the "Rocket" is high enough, why not use more than one transmitter... have the transmitters arranged in consecutive circles. As long as the rocket is high enough then there will be more vectors for the microwaves to approach.
For that matter maybe they could setup a microwave interferometer, have multiple larger frequencies converge into a single tighter frequency.. Aim the beams so that the interferance pattern occurs right under the Rocket.
Riding on something that is being blasted with high energy could be just as dangerous as riding on something stuffed with explosives(Traditional rocket) Gee Space is dangerous!
Just read some posts.. I only caught the last few min. of Farscape tonight. Mostly because this article reminded me of SciFi Friday(I was so involved watching hour after hour of News coverage. Breaking only to check/.) Metamodders feel free to Mod my post out of existance just like Farscape! I can Agree that Trackers Sucks! No Comment on Tremors... I'll still be tuning into Stargate SG-1.. And in a related story I heard somewhere that a new show is being made that will be called Young MacGuyver! 20 something person will play the previous MacGuyver's Nephew. I only mention this because I was raised with MacGuyver as my only Father Figure.. Perhaps thats why I like Stargate SG-1 so much?::shrugs::
You could get a Deep Cycle gell cell battery(Doesn't release fumes)and get a DC/AC inverter..
Most inverters loose about 15%-20% of their energy when converting DC to AC, so instead of using an inverter, you can search Google to find a DC ATX Power Supply for the computer... and maybe you can find an LCD monitor that runs from DC Power.. With all DC Components you can nix the inverter and have longer battery useage.
For charging you could get a battery charger that has a charge indicator.. just mount it on the cart with a retractable cord.
