In the 80's, TI had a number of speech synth chips that were of amazing quality. The one used with the add-in modules for the TI-994A was amazing. I still have not heard a better quality speech synth since then. I wonder what happened to that TI technology.

A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers
Status of this Memo
This memo describes an experimental method for the encapsulation of IP datagrams in avian carriers. This specification is primarily useful in Metropolitan Area Networks. This is an experimental, not recommended standard. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Overview and Rational
Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low altitude service. The connection topology is limited to a single point-to-point path for each carrier, used with standard carriers, but many carriers can be used without significant interference with each other, outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D ether space available to the carriers, in contrast to the 1D ether used by IEEE802.3. The carriers have an intrinsic collision avoidance system, which increases availability. Unlike some network technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to line-of-sight distance. Connection oriented service is available in some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology.
I hate to sound like a guy with a tin-foil hat...but until the conspiricy of Prez George Bush(s)+big oil+detroit is broken, look for bigger SUVs.
But when it is broken...we first of all should look to hybrid cars to bridge us out of the oil economy for transportation...and then into either a fuelcell or high-effiency battery technology (or maybe both). And we have to look at transitioning over a period of 30 or so years to give the fuel cell and battery people time to *really* do research and create the technology we will need for these types of machines and infrastructure.
Actually, the Peoples of the North are of different groups, with Inu, Inuit and Cree just being three that I know of offhand. I am sure the Native Affairs Canada website would have more info.
SCO/Caldera sells Linux, this lawsuit is may have a chilling effect on Linux sales...why is SCO shooting itself in the foot?
If they had an idea about things, they would donate said IP to Linux/GNU, and reap many billions of Dollars of good will and karma, and I would go out and buy their distro to support them if that is what they had did.
When companies litigate instead of innovate, you know they are probably not long for this world.
Virtually all CD-ROM Burns will take make a CD from a file, as long as you have the right software. All the Burner software under Linux does, so does EasyCD Creator, and Nero under Windows.

Sounds like an old Apple ][+ ad they used to run

Apple had a magazine ad for the Apple ][+ where a customer's office had a fire, and they brought the system back to Apple, and after exchanging the case/keyboard it worked fine!
This person should contact Apple...this would be a great "retro" ad!
Too many screenwriters only know SF as film & TV...you need a good SF writer to create a story, and help on the script.Too may cycles of recycling has made the ST universe boring...
Maybe now, the Government will give NASA the money to build a new earth to orbit reusable spacecraft. Why do people have to die to convince the American Government to do something?!?!?!?!
They are/were brave people who have created and flown in the Shuttle, but it is time to replace and retire the bird. Please presure your elected representatives to fund a new spacecraft so that we can have a safer vehicle to take us into space.
About a month ago, I had to help my on-site person hack into one of those Zyxel modems since they had a fixed IP, and the modem came NAT pre-enabled. Why does the world want NAT enabled?!?!
Forth has always been both OS and Programming Language...and with some Processors, is the microcode too!
Forth is hard, very hard, but like assembly can be very, very fast. And is excellent for embedded systems....I mean, it was originally designed to control radio telescopes!
It may be BSD License, but if SCO considers TCP/IP to be part of their intellectual property...and the way various other companies have claimed to have IP Rights over fundamental parts of Internet protcols, it wouldn't suprise me.
From what I have heard, Win2K's Internet Protocol stack is taken from one of the BSD flavours of Unix...maybe SCO feels that they can use whatever IP ownership they have to go after MS? Maybe they are going to charge $95 for every use of their IP, but waive it if you are using an open source OS...which would either force MS to open source Windows XXX, or "tax" MS $95 every copy of Windows they have sold.
I was tremendously impressed by the approach they took with the book, with code examples, and explaing why things work, and how/why they approached the problems with the solutions they did....rather than just saying "Do this not to get cracked". I also picked up the 3rd edition of _Essential System Administration_, another ongoing classic.
These two books are must-have tomes for any serious SysAdmin!
What do you mean, are you actually using felines for networking? What do you do, duct tape a floppy or CD (For higher bandwith) to the cat, then throw catnip on the destination station?!?!?!
G-Force, AKA Battle of the Planets, was a bad english dub/re-edit of Gatchaman (sp?). It was very, ah...adult Anime. Things like the two villians, one male, one female...well, they were the same person, I guess they figured that the US public couldn't take a "transexual"...and various charactors were having relationships with others...and the one that talked in beeps and chirps...well, in the original Anime, he had the foulest mouth on air. And that stupid robot was created to fill in places where things that were not suitable to senstative NA audiences...like the leader in a physical fight with the princess, etc.
I started out with the orignal Macross...had a girlfriend who was obscessed with Captain Harlock...still love the art & music from the opening and closing sequences in Cats Eye.
Lupin is a very funny series...sort of a James Bond taken to the extremes that you can only do with animation. I still wouldn't mind a Veritech VF-1A to commute with...
