If you want to save your Yahoo! music, you can re-record it using two S/PDIF interfaces without losing any quality. There are no D/A conversions involved. You just need some decent recording software. Just tell Windows to use the S/PDIF as the default audio output device.
On Linux, I recommend Ardour for recording. www.ardour.org
Until someone proves that heat causes cancer (as in, a CAUSAL relationship, not a CORRELATIVE relationship), I'll keep yacking away on my cell phone....
Example: A suspect is found guilty of murder. The court finding is a finding of FACT, not LAW. The FACT is determined that the suspect committed murder according to the Law.
Example: A patent is found to be valid and a suspected infringer is found not to have infringed. The court finding is a finding of FACT, not LAW. The FACT is determined that the suspect did not commit an act of infringement.
"what a court rules... especially in Texas... has little to do with reality."
Your opinion is irrelevant. The Law is the Law. The finding of the court is what is fact. One may appeal to a higher court, and that court may replace the lower court's finding of fact, but in any regard, the layperson's opinion is completely irrelevant.
The court said the patent was valid and that Nintendo violated it, so that is exactly what happened.
There's always the fact that solar not only does not pay for itself economically, but it also does not pay for itself environmentally.
It takes 22 MWh to grow 1kW (peak) of PV material. It therefore takes 22,000 hours of 100%, full Sun for a PV panel to produce just the energy that was used to create it. Assuming you live in a place that has 200 sunny days per year and at a fixed installation angle you get maybe 2 hours of full sun equivalent every day, that's 400 hours per year of full sun equivalent. It would only take 55 years for the PV panel to BREAK EVEN on energy.
"Note. I've looked though the patents and there is absolutely nothing non-obvious in them. its all things any reasonably intelligent designer would have come up with."
Your assessment is incorrect. The court found that the design does indeed infringe upon the patent in question, and that the patent is valid. It's stated quite clearly. The fact that you do not agree does not make you right. The judiciary has final say on matters like this, and they have spoken.
Okay, so I have a couple of questions then. One of the one-page papers compares the relationship between the Higgs Field and the Higgs Boson to the relationship between the Electromagnetic Field and the Photon.
Particles that interact with Electromagnetic fields gain energy, but they can also lose energy in the case of natural energy decay. For example, an electron in a high energy state decays to a lower energy state, giving off a photon / emitting electromagnetic radiation. Similarly, moving charged particles emit an electromagnetic field.
Since interactions between zero-mass particles and the Higgs field gives rise to mass, isn't there also a necessary mechanism for those particles giving up that mass through decay? Also, do moving masses produce changes in the surrounding Higgs field in the form of a traveling wave?
We can detect the presence of an electromagnetic field by observing its effects on particles that we know can interact with it. The supposition here seems to be that all of the basic particles start with zero mass and subsequently gain it from interacting with the Higgs field. Since we "know" that these particles can interact with the Higgs field, how come we cannot detect the Higgs effect on them, which I suppose might be a variation in the mass?
5 times the mass means 5 times the gravity assuming the same volume.
If we assume this planet is truly "earth-like" and has similar density, then it is not a true statement that it will have 5 times the gravity of earth. If the density is similar to that of Earth, then the size of the planet will be larger. The radius will be larger by a factor of the cube root of 5 (the real one, that is), which is about 1.7, which is also almost exactly the square root of 3.
Since gravity is proportional to the inverse of the radius squared, the gravity of this planet at its surface is 1/3 the magnitude it would have if the volume were the same as Earth's.
Comparing, this means that this planet will have 5/3 the gravity of earth, or 1.67 times. 1 kg of mass would weigh about 3.68 lbs, so my meager 75kg frame would weigh 276 Earth lbs. Wouldn't be the first time...
This doesn't even come CLOSE to electronic component samples.
I ordered a sample of a surface mount inductor once from Pulse. They sent me precisely one inductor (about 1/2" square and 1/4" thick) in a plastic box, wrapped in 1" bubble wrap, inside a 6" cube box, which was then surrounded in 10" of foam on each side, styrofoam spacers, all inside a 12" cube box, which was then peanutted and placed in a 16" cube box.
All of that for an inductor. This is common practice in the electronics industry.

I had a TRS-80 Model 1 with the 600-baud cassette (I think it was 600 anyway). I still have boxes of tapes for old games and software. I'd love to pull some of those off and see if I can emulate them. Talk about fond memories of the late 70's and early 80's...
Am I the only one who is getting tired of the media drawing a line (even a really curvy and discontinuous one if necessary) between $ACTIVITY and putting money in big oil's pockets?
Don't do this because you're putting money in big oil's pockets. Don't do that.... don't do the other...
Oh my God! We must immediately divert all of our economic resources toward fighting Global Moving, which environmental scientists say is caused by the forced exerted on the ground by accelerating cars. It is imperative for the survival of the human race that cars be outlawed! We must stop the Bush Administration from allowing cars to move the continents around for the sake of big oil and big auto.
I think Verizon is too stupid for that. They finally lit up the fiber and my neighborhood and to get with them the exact same service I have with comcast now will cost $80/mo MORE than what I am paying now.

This is true, but the time-varying electromagnetic field in the transmission line still encounters the dipole moment of the materials it permeates. This causes those materials to oscillate, and there is always resistance to physical oscillation. This is why there is some AC resistance in superconductors despite their "superconductivity."

If you travel 100m at 100m/s and 100m at 50m/s, you have traveled 200m in 3s for an average speed of 66.67m/s, not 75m/s.
