I saw a product that was basically final scratch for audio at last years macworld SF. But instead working with sound into the computer, it had a small camera tpye device mounted at the end of the sytlus, and a special record with black and white squares on it. The software they were showing with it had it acting as a controller for quicktime. Unfortunatly i can't remember the name of the company.
No, it doesnt require a kernel patch at all, in fact, there are already implementations of a trash can for linux(though i dont remember the url off hand). they work using ld.preload to replace the unlink call, thereby causing all aps to use the trash can.
what exactly do you mean by "reduce the enviromental load"? The seeds in question are ones which monsanto calls "roundUp ready," which means they have had a gene inserted to make them immune to the pesticide roundup, which is made by monsanto's former chemical division(which has since been spun off as a seperate company). These plants do not fufil any of the pormises that monsanto and other make about GMO crops, they dont have higher yields, they aren't drought resistant, and they arent healthier. All they do is allow moroe of a chemical that has bee nshown to be harmfull to humans to be sprayed onto our food.
It's a quote from a paper linked to from a slashdot article about free software use in india. It was the authors way of saying "free as in speech, not as in beer."(expcet witht he key words in hindi).
if you think thats small, try reading at 1024x768 on a 6.2" screen. Thats what sony's vaio u1 has, and i dont find it to hard at all, but i do frequently end up zooming the screen to 640x480.
i tried to install it on my palm Vx even though it supposedly wouldnt run, and guess what, it didn't. Not only does it need a color display, but it needs special sony libraries.
well, most(all?) modern disk schedulers do use an elevator algorithm, but you wouldnt want you elevator algorithm to absolutely strict, because then if you had three write opperations going, a big, a small one located near the big one, and a small one far away from the big one, and they were all made at the same times, it could start on the big one, write some of the small one, write more of the big one, finish the small one, work one the big one, and all that time the other small block hasnt been written out to disk and is causing your mail server to block on an fsync. So elevator algorithms are use, they just arent absolute elevators, they make some account for order of writes.
all the telezapper does is send out eh same tone that a switch sends out to signal that "this number is not in service", so the computer will detect it and hang out, i cant imagine it could be anything more than trivial to program the computer to simply not hangup when it receives that tone.
ok, it might look fakes, but the authorative server for isonews.com is now listed as ns22.usdoj.gov, and that server has an A record for www.isonews.com which points to 149.101.1.91, which is in a USDOJ netblock, so it seems to be pretty real.
I see several things in their specification doc that i consider problems, well maybe not problems, but at least short commings.
call sign is only 6 bytes, therefore 6 ascii chars, my call sign is 6 ascii chars, so if i have more than 1 station i can not put a suffix on them to differentiate between them, also i think in some foreign countries the lowest class liscense may get assigned more than 6 char calls.
altitute is an unsigned 24 bit value, in my opinion it should be 32 bit signed, because sometimes people opperate from death valley, and some satelites and space stations will want to have stations if this catches on(there are sattelites more than 167 km up, right?).
speed should proably be velocity, not speed, because sometimes people drive backwards(this is already noted in the spec)
I think having fields for both grid square and absolute locate(lattitude and longitude) is a littl eredundant, unless only one of them is used, because grid square can be determined by the receiver from the absolute position
the maximum freq that can be sent is 42ghz, arent there people doing 40ghz work now?(ok, this is proably irrelavent)
But really, it looks like a great spec, good work guys.
check out furthurnet, http://furthurnet.org it is a p2p network meant just for legal live recordings of taper friendly artists. And they main format traded is shn, so single show can easily be 1 gigabyte.
nope, because by that time nitrate film was no longer used, "saftey film" had been introduced. Thats not to say that color film from the 60s didnt degrade over time(it did), but in a different way than nitrate negative do. THe only color film from that era with any thing like a long lifespan is kodachrome, i have seen k25 slides from the 60s and 70s that look as good now as they did then.
You're totally right on this, and theoretically it would work. A technique similar to this was used in some place(im thinking it was the UK) to detect unliscensed shortwave receivers. Basically how it worked was they went around with RDF(radio direction finding gear) tuned to common IFs(intermediate frequencies, if you dont know what this means, read a tutorial on heterodyne). Im not sure what kind of demodulating technique is used in 802.11b cards, so that technique may or may not work. I think im going to have to investigate this.
THere was an article on slashdot a few months ago about an application called fakeAP, which used the host_ap mode driver to send out essid broadcast packets to just fill up logs in wireless scanners. ALso you could just do things like send out one fake dhcp offer per second, this would not severely degrade network traffic, but would confuse kismet. Or even one fake udp packet per second would do the trick, or a few fake llc broadcast.
The key point of this paper is that you cant detect passive monitoring(RFMON mode), so tools like kismet which usse it are not detectable. The only way to mess with these types of tools is to send out falsified data to confuse that scanner, but this will still not let you detect them.
THe whole point of the camera that this is based on, the F5, is that it is auto, if they didnt want it to be fancy auto everything they would have based it on an f3, not an f5. Paying $6000 for a manual 35mm style dslr, just seems a little rediculous.
How many people who buy a d1 do you think want to carry a seperate light meter? Not many. If they wanted to take good photos with accurate metering they wouldnt be using a 35 mm camera.
kodak already tmakes a 35mm film that it would take more than a 30mp ccd to match, it's called tech pan, and when souped in technidol is so beautiful, and so grain free, I have done a 15x enlargement from techpan, cropped down to 8x8, and it was copletely grain free. Then on the other hand they make a film with as much resolution as proably an 8mp ccd or less, it is called tmz.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but your not going to take a 30 year old lens and put it on a d1x, at least not if you want the camera to be usefull. a 30 year old lens would be pre ai(IIRC), so it would be useless on anything made in the last 15, unless you had it converted, which is neither difficult nor expensive. But the real problem is that many new nikon bodies don't meter with non-af lenses, which makes them basically usless.

try the edditor 'ed', i've heard good things about it.

Please show me an omni directional antenna with high gain(> 20Db). I would like to purchase one.

nice calculations, to bad your logic was wrong, because you would be an idiot to do that in php, you would do it with mod_rewrite.
This is a new revision that was anounced a few weeks ago, i think this is the third or fourth rev of the picturebook.
THe whole point of the camera that this is based on, the F5, is that it is auto, if they didnt want it to be fancy auto everything they would have based it on an f3, not an f5. Paying $6000 for a manual 35mm style dslr, just seems a little rediculous.

They say it is a nikon lens mount, and from the picture i saw it looks fairly simmilar to an f5.
