  1. Duh ! on Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd rather consider that as common sense rather than "hack", something that works with 12V (dc) supplied by a car battery can be fed with any 12V (dc) source. even a no-brainer can figure out how to shrtcut the ground with a screwdriver and pop the cd out.Hell, most in-car cd players when they are connected for the first time pop the cd tray/mechanism out to take out the protective piece of carton they have for shipment protection. Duh !

  4. Product overview on MATRIX - A Dossier for Every Person in Utah · · Score: 1

    Quoting from http://www1.seisint.com/products.html

    : Accurint is Seisint's family of information products sold commercially to organizations with legitimate business uses throughout the United States. Accurint has the most in-depth information on U.S. individuals and businesses. The associative links, historical residential information, and other information, such as an individual's possible relatives and associates, are deeper and more comprehensive than other commercially available database systems presently on the market.

    Using proprietary algorithms, compilation techniques, and retrieval technology to access data stores containing billions of records, Accurint's ability to deliver high-quality matches and find rates is unparalleled. Given a few pieces of information (e.g. a phonetically spelled name, the city of a previous address), Accurint can rapidly retrieve a complete and accurate picture of an individual or business.

    Although IANAUSCitizen i'm terrified of companies like this one can gather/file and use as fit personal info about all kinds of people...If this is the future, i'm definately gonna quit whatever i do and run to the Hills..... LOL

  5. the layers are like a centimeter thick on Mars Landers - Opportunity, Bedrock, Aerosmith? · · Score: 1

    Quoting from the aarticle : One of the wonderful things about this though is when you look at this and you realize the scale of it you get a sense of how thin those layers are. I mean the layers are like a centimeter thick. These are very, very small layers and that really puts some constraints on what it could be. These aren't lava flows. These are something we've never seen on Mars before.

    This sounds to me like polarised particles composing thin layers of crust_like soil...ive seen something similar back in a ferrous (up on a mountain) village in greece...

  10. Mars Exploration Project Soundtrack on Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Safely · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    If anyone is interested in art in combination with science should go and buy the DVD version of "Mythodea" By Vangelis (Papathanasiou), the world known Greek composer/performer/musician. The Dvd is filmed Live in Athens (Greece), at the temple of Zeus in the heart of athens, a July mooned night. The whole theme "Mythodea" is composed as a theme to the Mars Exploration Held by NASA and the concert is a-b-s-0-l-u-t-e-l-y B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T-!-!-!-! I strongly recommend this as an nour and a half of pure entertainment, especially when seeing live or at least enjoy on a home cinema set up.

  17. Re:I DON'T CARE -- I BUY MUSIC LATELY on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Well, i just came back from an Iron Maiden concert which was awsome! There are plenty of ways to support your favourite band/music and that is contributing by buying official merchandise, buy gig tickets,etc. I personaly spent nearly 100 on tshirts and tour programme and stuff, not including their new released album. On the other hand as much as like Metallica i'd never buy anything since they screwed their hard core fans and aimed to the money,though, i'd buy a ticket for a concert. My point is, if you download music from p2p/ftp/bittorrent/whatever, do it to sample/search for new artists/music styles and support them accordingly. that way you don't have the RIAA as a pimp for music,and you got both your artists and fans satisfied.

  19. My experience so far..... on Need... More... Power... · · Score: 1

    Well, its my third and last year in a "halls of residence" of the many types there are available for students here in the Uk..All three accomodation agencies prior to renting the room promised plenty of "features" while they all had basic or crippled facilities. For example, one had a contract with a telco to provide phones operated by "pay as you go" top up cards, and no internet alternative...So i was stuck for a year with 56k over pay as you go.... fsking expensive for a student. Now, in another accom. agency, i have no broadband availability (thanx to the terms&conditions that don't allow 3rd party installations), and every time my flatmates turn on the oven my room goes pitch black...Topping that, i have to pay a fsking tv licence, although i don't own a tv(hate tv - not interactive), but there is one pre-installed in the flat...how stupid is that...Well at least i found out how useful an AOL cd can be when it comes to saving money on internet access...

  21. ok, what if.... on Replace Your Music....Again · · Score: 1

    ok, what if the progress of technology at some point will allow us to have such fancy storage (music or not)/m^3, will it be accessible (price/features) by Joe Six-pack in a way CDs/DVDs are today? I doubt that the 5 years time is enough to seize CD/DVD production, as it would lead to massive profit losses in the whole industry, and new tech will be surely DRM'd. Providing that people realises the drawbacks of DRM, CDs will continue to be burned all over the world as is the cheapest and more spread medium.
