You are supposed to put the components in a case??? Of course, that makes total sense. Boy do I feel stupid, I've had them in the lower left drawer of my desk for years.
My Ham Radio friends would say that there is a grounding problem. They need to sink it below the water table to be really good. Otherwise, I suggest a strategically located outhouse.
With the complex sensor package comes the strong possibility that there can be self-awareness. The division between the self and the external becomes more apparent as the density and complexity of sensors increases.
Continue this with the thought from the article: "It will be possible in the near future to make an electronic skin that has functions that human skin lacks," the researchers write in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Consider implication of sensor functions BEYOND human when they are married to self-awareness.
Had very similar and it was issue with ISP hardware. I'm at the end of a loop and the repeater serving the loop had a slight crack - allowing moisture inside - which effectively dropped my 6Mbit to 50Kbit - every morning if dew - every rainstorm. Took me 2 1/2 months to figure it out and talk ISP into doing proper tests and finally into fixing it.
I should have indicated the second dimension in scoring responses - as I am sure someone will catch the leap (bad tendency to "leaplogic" here, apologies - oh, its not autism, not really, just "leaplogic").
I do not use Linux (yet). I have been learning about it. This kind of thoughtful description by an experienced user is really quite useful to someone like me.
I have had to change my preferences to allow sub-zero responses - because I find that I miss some really useful stuff otherwise (and have to put up with some incredible dreck as well).
I wish there was a third dimension in scoring - dreck to non-dreck - as I would like to read non-dreck even if offtopic or subject to the accusation of "flamebait" or "troll" (which often means a limited sense of humor on part of the moderator).
Yah, I know - way "offtopic", but it had to be said. So give me a little credit for "non-dreck".
Sorry this is impacting you badly, however change happens and it seems these days change is happening faster. I work with business owners who face similar changes and I have some advice:
1. recheck who your customers are and what they want - ask your customers what they buy and where
2. recheck "reality" (it changes too) - with P2P a huge amount of indy material will become available for free - not pirated - free - you could be in an impossible situation
3. review the strengths that you have - good ethical employees - established business - name recognition - place in the community - and consider how you might re-focus these strengths to serve you customers and the community better
4. ask your employees - tell them what is happening and what you wish you could do - they are in direct contact at levels different than you and may provide really valuable insight
You did say this to yourself already, "Do people prefer to watch TV, see films, read books? I don't know." It is time you found out.
Good luck.
ps Being a response to a parent modded "Offtopic" might get this modded down, which is "ok" as I am just trying to help this guy - having seen this situation dozens of times before.
Needs a rule setting and arbitration group. Could a Server Olympics Committee ("SOC") be formed? Who would you like to see on SOC? Who might have the statesmanship AND independence? Mark Cuban? Jeff Bezos?
what if you took the preloaded drive out and sold that (on eBay if they allow it - which they might - especially since you never powered it on - or maybe you have to power it on once so it is transferrable...) and put a brand new "nude" drive in? Or have I violated warranties and junk (probably)..
I guess that is why I've been building my own since '86.
Sounds like poster above had a classic experience with corporate secrecy policy run amok. I had a strong impression that the company for the longest time was convinced that secrecy was necessary to survive (and an M&A experiance I had years ago gives credence) - too bad it harmed relationship which could have grown.
"Our goal is to preserve and monetize our intellectual property, using products, services and licensing as the delivery vehicle for that intellectual property," Swift said.
So - after huge losses over many years - the board has decided to try something (anything!!) which can recover a few bucks for the hapless investors. SCO was doing that too - just in a nasty way. I think TMTA is more likely to be on the side of the angels (I hope!!) - making arrangement for 100 folks to continue in a manner that puts bread on the table and derives value from all their hard work sounds good to me.
Now, I read a bit about "CELL" technology. It sounds like it has some pretty significant potential and just might gain some real traction because of the heavyweights involved (metaphor intended). Cheap - cool - scalable - code morphing - low power - cheap to run - this kind of mix might result in some really seriously amazing stuff over the next 5-6 years. You will really know it when your refrigerator tells you that you asked it to remind you if you were snacking too often. Yah, good thing.
If this means TMTA (humbled as it is) gets reborn and all that hard work does some good in the world, I'm for it.
Would you feel this way if it were a major celeb - paid to front - supported by ghostwriters - sponsored by your least favorite political party? The "argument" can fail to be persuasive if the celebrity is big enuf - at least for some people. It might help those folks to know the the BIG NAME is a shill.
Now I am not picking on "celebrity" as most have some kind of conscience - it would only take a few - right?
Being informed is your duty as a citizen so don't be a slacker (yah, I know someone will consider this Flamebait - more your problem than mine).
Proposed rule is attempting to define where it should set the line as to what to "regulate" - and "regulate" does not mean "stiffle".
The target from my reading of the proposed rule is "expenditures for communication that have been coordinated with a candidate, a candidate's authorized committee, or a political party"(http://www.fec.gov/agenda/2005/mtgdoc05-16. pdf).
IMO that is a good thing to know about a blogger who voices strong opinions and is being PAID for them. Where it gets confusing is defining how to focus on who/what/how/where - and the FEC tried to define it based on economics (site and related costs of $250). I consider this ridiculously low, but the intent to allow individual bloggers below that amount a BLANKET EXEMPTION was IMO of good intent.
What remains is for folks to make considered comment - which they requested (respond to internet@fec.gov today!).
Do make it considered. Point out that a non-professional blogger can spend $100 @ month on his "hobby" (?hobbyhorse?). None of us wants the burden of having to determine if we need to respond as regulated, while we do want the obvious politico's and their hacks to be so required.
Flicker and degree of sensitivity to same is probably based deeply in evolution. I mean - would you want to walk across a savanah with folks who couldn't register flicker? Ever seen the dog/cat snap to on an invisible (to you) movement? High sensitivity is what makes a better hunter while the rest of us stay at home and make baskets and mats.

Why didn't they just comply? Is it possible that MS can't provide API documentation easily? Could it be in such a state that it is not "deliverable"?
Super idea! SMART for CDs - I would use that!!

A very interesting future...

Been cool for 2 years - wow, what a difference.
Darn. I had visions of massive mayhem games...
Oops, clarity failure.

Oops, back on track...
Second dimension is time.

pps Idea for a new series, Desparate Shopowners.
Dumb question probably, but does UV wipe these?
So, you win the PIA award. So what.
Great idea.

Knowing my 2 cents amounts to nothing, I think an international committee could be formed to oversee a challenge match.
Isn't it time for server Olympics?
Wish they would allow a moderation of "6".
Made me laff. Thanx.
what if you took the preloaded drive out and sold that (on eBay if they allow it - which they might - especially since you never powered it on - or maybe you have to power it on once so it is transferrable ...) and put a brand new "nude" drive in? Or have I violated warranties and junk (probably)..

and if my dear spouse is watching - right back to the Shopping Channel....
Backwards might be "OK", if it meant a high orbit - then someday someone could salvage the silly thing.
Think a bit, can you calculate what it COSTS to put this stuff up there in the first place?!? Why try to make an island in some ocean?!?

Consider the alternative...

Now, is that really flamebait?
Doesn't seem that anyone thinks my first comment is funny. Hmm, I must be getting too old for this.
What else can be said..
