the recording sample rate is mismatched. i had the same trouble with playback.
i just set up a linux comp for my dad and did not bother with the sound because i don't know modules very well, or what packages to pick for alsa. it used to be worse though, especially in the transfer phase from oss to alsa.
no copyright law also sounds like a bad idea, especially to the people who come up with copyrightable things. i can get behind what lessig is pushing for.
then you run the risk of popularizing both the media you download and the idea of having media. if you were to boycott it entirely, perhaps other people would follow the same route.
hard drives come in standard sizes, so they're halfway there.
i think a low-power laptop would be pretty neat, maybe have it run on AA batteries, embedded processor (perhaps arm or elan), and flash disk. that would solve a lot of the problems, but unfortunately not for more practical machines..
i read technical literature outside of class because it helps me do things. i like to do things more than i like to read.
i dislike writing, but i do enjoy expressing my opinions (see this post). i only write things down if it helps me or when coerced. so it follows that i generally only have bad experiences with writing. recently i wrote a paper for english and when i got it back, one of the only comments on it was to the effect that the teacher missed the basic premise of the paper. i elaborated a bit more to her in person, and she has a different viewpoint on things than i do. it was a paper about "loss and recompense", a personal loss and what you've learned from it. i wrote it on a failed project (i ended up chucking the project because i modified the design too much without proper knowledge or test equipment and didn't want to pay for new parts; it took a lot of time too). she didn't see that as "loss" because i was the one who threw it out, so essentially i learned to not write with english types as my audience.
oh, and putting petty rules on students' writing has frustrated me often in the past, even though i'll admit that it helped my writing. things like "only use this word or type of word N times per page", "don't use this word at all", "this is my pet peeve, i disproportionately downgrade for getting it wrong", and the like do not warm me up toward starting the assignment.
and perhaps finally, "general interest" topics are boring. is it possible to at least let your students pick a topic that fits them best individually? that's helping me with the assignment i'm currently doing in writing.
well, because he is british, "saw the guy's hand go across" might have meant he saw the other person move the mouse pointer (i've only done remote login with ssh/rlogin, are there applications where local and remote users can affect the mouse simultaneously?)
i've seen apache conf files that don't have access logs. i've even seen them where only critical errors and above are logged so ip addresses don't show up in 404s.
even with wpa, if you let a whole bunch of people connect, it will be hard to stop goverment type folks from also connecting. do you think that kind of technology will eventually be developed? (possibly for another app)

does it cost money to put something in the public domain?

they have funny phrases for things

it encourages more advertisements than normal by paying people to put them up.
each device only has one key vector and addition rule. why would it handshake more than once per device?
i get their way of doing things, but i also see that it lacks utility.
your point about music is a good one, but a computer is a machine...
that's how the touch screen works on palm devices, except they use a grid for the underlayer, but same concept.
the manual is amazing
the part about slackware made me chuckle
i applaud you sir
you've all gone soft.
"How sad."
reading the synopsis alone it appears he got the point across.
got anything for how this will change phishing attempts?
more like insightful. i was looking at laptops a bit back, and there was a nice cheap one, but it had a built in webcam. how dumb...
maybe for running hashes on something... a hash is usually smaller than the data you used to get it, and it does take some processing

nothing to tap because you can just intercept it.
we're the "melting pot", so we can take a bunch of things from several different cultures and call it ours. you get some mix and match this way
check out the wikipedia entry on rfid near the bottom, they have something on disabling them. i don't know anything about this stuff though
