"allow pilots to track some controls using their hearing, freeing up their eyes for other tasks."
Glider pilots have been doing this for years - The electronic variometers (indication of going up or down / lift vs sink) have a short audio tone indicating relative rates of sink or lift. (higher lift is indicated by an increase of the pitch as well as a decrease of the period between beeps.)
It is very useful for keeping track of lift (allowing us to stay in thermals or atmospheric "wave") whilst still keeping a good lookout for other aircraft or special formations such as "Cumuli Granatus" - (clouds with a mountain embedded in them - for people currently with puzzled expressions.)
Where the hell have you been looking for ADSL? I pay AU$80/month for 512/128 with 6Gig peak download and unlimited non-peak download. There are a number of others who offer similar services.
"The cheapest ADSL service that doesn't charge you extra for traffic (but slows you down past a particular quota) is A$199/month"
Is this in reference limited to telstra services? If so, this is why I dont even bother looking at telstra's services as an option.
Yes, provided you were one of the (unfortunately many) dolts who chose teltra for their service.
I have at least 4 other ISPs here in WA (Western Australia) who offer unlimited downloads. The east should have even more options.
when Telstra charges 40+% more than everyone else and has unacceptable clauses, vote with your feet/wallet and dont use them.
the problem here lies in the fact that most ISPs have to use Telstras infrastructure in some form. Until this changes, telstra can essentially continue to charge what they want.
As far as I'm aware, there are no passive IR devices avialable. Secondary to that is the issue of practicality. How do you propose to produce a flat (ie credit card size), passive IR computational and storage and device.
At work we use very similar smartcards in our transit ticketing systems we develop. Our security is pretty heavy (key exchange and the like - not really my area) but Visa have a LOT more to loose if it is an unsecure system. I'm sure they will provide a decent system - because if not, they will have to foot the bill.

NO. It isnt due to genius politicians...
The FSM just wanted to make it so - and used his noodly appendages to assist in this process.
Unfair!! - This guy probably gets a yacht AND $4!!!
When you have a Mac, think of all the money you'll save on not buying all the games because they aren't available on a Mac. :)
Mmmmm... chewy :)
It's worth it... thats a lot less than most Hotmail accounts receive! :)

No, closer to Uranus!
Abort, Retry and Fail are the only possible outcomes after using the only possible inputs of Ctrl, Alt, Del.
So where does the profit come into it?
C'mon! This guy admits he worked for M$!!!
CAN WE BURN HIM????!!!!!
Where can I buy the necessary accessories?
A lot of spam I get seems risky to my fifth "limb". - Does that count?
...you can now get better resoution than real life!
We each ring one of the combination of numbers and pretend to be called wendy.
Who's up for it?
Yeah, thats a job for managers.
Not that I think they're much different from a lot of politicians around the world. :)

A network connects 128 of the supercomputer's nodes to provide high speed communications for parallel processing...
just incase you were too lazy to RTFA!
But I suppose it's hard surviving with only 1/258 of any interest in doing anything except skimming /. summaries, and providing uninformed comments.

I dont know if the parent poster is tring to be funny or what, but consider the effect of induction.
Depending on how far you are going to cable these in parallel you could induce quite a voltage down your line.
Network harware probably wont take too kindly to >50v spikes pumped down it.
You are obviously not a DNRC member! ;)
Careful - you don't want to be left as an In-Duh-vidual do you?
Its amazing no-one has imagined a beowulf cluster of AGP cards yet :)
How do you get the Embedded BSOD?
Most of my embedded work (if it has a screen) uses a standard LCD. I'm still trying to work out how to get a BSOD on a yello(ish) LCD.incase you hadn't noticed, the ? is next to the > (Or cant you be bothered to try and work out what happened>!) Dont post again until you have a login.
