the main reason that i was thinking about RF was that some ultra sonic areas affect wildlife near by (i live in a heavily wooded area and have lots of animals come near my yard all the time)
i was talking about position guidence not the cutting, that would be kickass to cut your grass with a microwave though i don't think it'd be any safer on peoples ankles like that
one of the things I always wondered about is why couldn't this be done over RF, i know you couldn't do it with timing like you'd expect but you could easily do it by measuring the power your recieving which is relativly easy to do, a couple resistors and caps+ a voltmeter and boom you have a simple way to measure the distance and with 100mw it'd be enough to go to the end of your yard, and you could place 3 small beacons (assuming your yard isn't hilly) in reference locations then make a map of the yard using some small device to measure the distance and then program in the nodes of map, use something like a bsp splitting alg and divide the area up into sections to mow
put one drop of bleach in there (on a side note, if you ever have to sanitize water, one drop of bleach per gallon should kill most harmful bacteria and other living organisms)
i can understand why i some people might not want them, they never use them, but i wouldn't get a computer without one still, i've got too many computers with old cd roms that wont read cd-r's well and don't have usb, floppy is about the only thing i can use, luckily though they aren't that hard to get a hold of either way
That article talks about Magnetic and Solid-State Memory something which RAM is not, what they are talking about is Flash Cards and hard drives, not volatile memory that can be erased simply by removing power because the semiconductors don't keep the charge on their own, hence volatile memory.
so the problem is that because they use linux that they leave plain text passwords in the firmware? along with that that people can find the backdoors easily meaning that its not just the 1337 hax0rs who know about it, which means that you as a consumer can stay safe about it by researching the products you buy?
sheilding isn't really a problem we've been doing that since the 40's with Trinity and the Manhattan project, (which is one of the reasons that those anti-lunar people are nuts, we had the technology to sheild against radiation in the 40's and 50's in nuclear testing, but we couldn't do it in the 60's?)

research != patent, true but research ~= prior art, which follows patent requires !priorart.
that isn't a pop access to yahoo mail, its to import a pop account into yahoo
Also there's the fact that the Ranma 1/2 anime is missing quite a bit of the ending of the manga
if something is hard then it isn't worth doing

i'd go with the darwin awards, he has effectively taken himself out of the human gene pool by posting to /. like that

well i guess the reason to join 2 drives to double the effective size is just stupid isn't it?
or you are proven not guilty of any crime.
shouldn't that be "not proven guilty"?
Thats U U D D L R L R A B you insensitive clod!

the problem with this is that each time after the second you keep adding the say thing
haiku->aikuhay->aikuhayway->aikuhaywayway->a d infinitum
that is with proper piglatin anyway
i'm not sure how well i'd trust that password script, it told me that
p455W0rD was a pretty strong password
actually i thought it was 48v DC so that it didn't interfear with the transmissions of the phone?
if you use a 56k modem thats exactly whats going on
yes you do! ^G^G^G
(time here to get paste 20 secs)

Simcopter is where my nick comes from!
i figured you'd be loosing more quarters than that.
anyone know how many quarters it takes to have 2 pounds of them?
and the algea release lots and lots of O2 and reduce the CO2 Levels, that O2 is poisonous you know? (well it used to be to some life forms)
it wouldn't happen to be jrockway @imsa.edu would it?
