People have been making PB&J sandwiches on toasted AND crimped bread for a long time...
There is a device called a jaffle iron designed to be held over a fire or stove, it creates 'flying saucers' of toasted bread with whatever filling you want. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffle_iron
Infrared covers a large range of EM frequencies. Thermal infrared, which is given off by heated objects, has a longer wavelegnth than what your camera can detect. What you can see in your camera is called near infrared, and is right below visible light.
I'm pretty sure that even with transmission losses, getting power from the grid is far more efficient than using a car engine. I don't have any numbers for you, I've just seen this discussed on Slashdot many times.
I was able to boot into DOS, and I did find several videos, but they were all short clips totaling around 6MB, and there is no mime. I don't recall ever finding (or watching) any large movies, so I can only assume that they decided to drop the movie some time between when our Packard Bells were made (mine is somewhat newer than yours). If you want a copy of theses videos just email me and I'll send them as an attachment.
Oh well, I tried my best, and even learned a bit in the process...
It would be neat if something like this is integrated into a PDA so we could read ebooks (or anything else you would use your PDA for) on a larger screen. It would also be neat to take it a step further - project the text directly onto your retina. I know there has been some experimenting with this idea before, but there was nothing small enough to fit on a cell phone or PDA.
Without anything better to do, I pull out an old HD with Navigator on it and tried to find that video. Unfortunately, I compressed that disk using the DOS "dblspace" utility, and couldn't access the video in Windows XP. Bummer. I suppose if you really want do see the video, I could boot up DOS from that disk and try to copy it...
The problem is that many of us have extra PS/2 mice and keyboards laying around, and we would much rather use those than buy some brand new ones that only work on computers that support USB.
If you purchace it from Amazon, about $8 goes to Amazon, while the rest goes to the artist (who has to pay a portion of that to manufacture and ship the CD to Amazon), so the artist will end up with
$5-7. Of course, this varies alot depending who you're talking about, my numbers come from someone who sells only a couple hundred CDs a year.
When you buy a track from a download service like iTunes, the artist can expect only 7-13 cents per track. If you buy a CD directly from the artist, all they have to pay for is to have it manufactured, which should cost between one and two dollars per CD if they buy them in groups of 1000.
When you take the costs to manufacture and ship CDs around the world, the total profit per track is about the same as it is when you buy a single track from iTunes for 99 cents.
A 14 track CD from Amazon might cost around $16, but would cost about $2 to manufacture and ship. If you bought and downloaded each song individually, you would pay... $14. The total profit would be about the same, and you wouldn't be paying those extra $2 for a physical CD. Also, many online music services sell their music for less than 99 cents a track (although you can often buy CDs for less than $16)
I think it targets the webservers that actually sell the products, rather than the email servers. It would be hard to sell your spamvertized products through zombie PCs.
What's wrong with using high beams on the road? You only turn them on when there are no other cars near enough to be bothered by them, and they greatly increse the distance you can see. Great for country roads where you need to see ahead to look for deer/dogs/people.
That is what I meant when I mentioned the vibrating coils of the flyback transformer. The flyback does not run at 50/60 Hz, but uses its own oscillator circut that varies frequency with the amount of load put on it. When the TV is on, its normal frequency is in the upper audible range. As you said, the lower frequency is probably from a mains transformer.
The very high-frequency sound is form the vibrating coils of the flyback transformer used in CRTs. My TV also emits a 60Hz buzz, I have no idea what causes it.
perhaps, just perhaps, the power harvested from windmills can provide a way to produce/refine hydrogen.
Of couse it can, anything that produces electricity can be used to create hydrogen. Someone else mentioned using coastal wind farms to turn sea water into hydrogen, however I believe salt water will give you chlorine rather than pure hydrogen.
The connection speed would be somewhat useless for many computer owners until there are speed improvements in other areas as well. It would be great to download Knoppix in one second, but it would certainly take a lot more than one second just to write the file to my hard drive, and I don't have enough RAM to hold it all...
At least some of the older phones had a seperate piezo speaker as a ringer, but now the speech speaker is used so they can play the fancier, multi-note ringtones, etc.

The story is obviously fake along with the rest today, but this one asks a good "what if" question.
Seriously, what would we do if one day we found out that the Internet had in some way been taken down or make illegal?

I assume that the turbine turns a generator, which also uses Faraday's Principle of Induction...
Possibly - Some clothes are semi-transparent to infrared, but most are opaque.
That is exactly what he was saying - a cop beating another person is a criminal.
I second that - the SJ-22 is really great for reading ebooks on.It also has a well placed jog weel that lets you flip through pages with your thumb.
I'm pretty sure neon lights can't be blue...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the CD I was using as an example had 14 tracks on it.

Probably yes, the Hubble was based off of keyhole satellites.

No, I am pretty sure the signal is audible.
