-And then this technology will become really useful. Maybe some day we will be able to recharge electric toothbrushes without plugging them in.
Check out the Panasonic Sonic Max ES 8023SC eclectic shaver, Braun Oral B and Sonicare electric toothbrush and many more products with induction charging pads.
Just put the shaver or toothbrush on the pad and it'll recharge without being in touch with any electric contact.
If they want to instead build a Faraday cage around the entire campus, this would be the "legal" - though prohibitively expensive - way of getting around the issue.
Faraday cage... kids... chewing gum...
The instant solution for no phones during class is to suffocate them?
As DJ I used to store all my vinyl on CD as backup. I've once used my cd's for over a year in hard-dj-labor and most of them did survive although I might add:
In Belgium we got the CD tax, preventing "good" cd's from being imported to Belgium; yup; we officially only got crap!
The recording industry sure likes this degration in material, preventing "good" long term copies being made of their products.
I've noticed a few differences the last years; most specifically: in quality!
BASF Ceram Guards; used to be the best with ceramic protection and perfect dye: production stopped. No degration at all.
Hi-Space Carbon Sound; black PS2 compatible cd's, work perfect and scratch free: not available anymore. No degration at all.
Verbatim CD-2 52x; They are good, just don't use them too often; very fingerprint sensitive! Degrades after a short time!
Maxell CD-R80XL colour; These seem to be scratch friendly, quite good but degrades after some time...
Verbatim Super AZO Crystal DL+; These fail more than ever! I do not know why they sell these!
MMore CD-R80; As long they are stored well, they will store data for longer times, not expensive either!
Sony CD-R Supremas; those cd's fail by the dozen; I'll be glad I will be through this stock.
These cd's get used on Plextor, Sony and Masterlink ML-9600 cd writers.
Raw editing of your hard drive can be done with any simple bootdisk with the flavor you like: Linux, DOS or Windows.
This is a pure OS limitation because of buffering etc..
Windows changed a lot because it used to be multi-threading instead of multi-tasking; which needed some buffers to keep the speed up. A single tasking OS like DOS doesn't need such heavy buffering because it's not doing any multi-tasking. Newer drives also have buffers on its print for the same sake.. pure speed..
I've got to be honest, I kindof miss the "old" Norton tools, when they were worthy of being called "REAL TOOLS!" before they got boulimic with their software...
There used to be different shareware BBS's around; connected through Fidonet and alike; as well BBS's with a sh*tload of electronic schematics ready to be used towards real world applications. There were shared filelists inbetween BBS's, multinodes, chats and gatewaying to other systems...
We used to know which BBS to call to get which information. Sysops were almost 24/7 ready to chat with their users. There used to be RIP, Ansi, Ascii ready to entertain the user. Internet e-mail was not a problem and was delivered 8 times a day through a mail gateway (through polling).
We got this now with live nets, forums, msn and other systems; it's more centralized; but do mind the world of BBS is a heavy pioneer when the Internet wasn't ready available for others. There are millions of sites out there, maybe a few thousand really interesting to read. It's not because everything is easier to find (centralized), it must be of more quality...
Trying not to forget an age which had great potential is not always that bad... and, if you rather look well, lots of sites act like a BBS now-a-days.
Just a tip: we speak HTML here. We don't look kindly on outsiders coming in here and speaking BBCode.
Sounds rather hostile there.. I didn't see a sign BBCODE gets frowned upon.. We did understand him/her, let's just hope he/she will find out html tags soon...
Else [F][i][d][o], the new pup around the block would already have eaten them up! The user*euh*BBcodes I mean.. you know?
on another note: I wish [F][i][d][o] could sniff out these slashdot bugs buggering my firefox all over...
It seems to be Slashdot is having one nasty bug. When the header of replies is green, it will show up as white background, with white text.
With this article for example, everything is peachy because it's a red background. With anything else I'd need to use CTRL-A to SEE the text before I can even do something useful with this...
A serious annoying problem for the/. dev's to look at ? Anyone else has this problem? It sure diminished the quality of easy reading on slashdot.

Plug in the kitten to the power outlet, it might react ;)

What are the drawbacks?
He's dead Jim! But not as we know it!
Necrophilia ... it's just such a bad way of living ...
I couldn't find the kinkyness factor in "I can't hear your heartbeat" ...
Or Super Mario Bros ... wasted ...
We called another damaged brain ;)
or .. Get your credit cards ready ? ...
Simple .. To recharge ourselves, to put our body functions in a deeper relaxed state to heal and be strong after ... Just like a battery needs ...
did I just saw a cat ? or was that a glitch ... ?
Faraday cage ... kids ... chewing gum ...

As long they are not raid controlled and off-shore, this plan won't go nowhere!

in other news: nbauman gets bit by squirrel; blames mcgrew, slashdot user.
mcgrew .. known as the user who had an accident forgetting his disclaimer ...
squirrels are wmd's after all...
These might get popular for suicide bombers in any starbucks now...
I don't know which area you live, but stabbings, shootings and drug overdoses is not in my daily repertoire ...
Maybe you should think of moving instead of getting your vaccinations done, less lethal!

They'll fix it with free software!
Sounds good ... Only ... How will you move while I'm standing on your "reflector" ?
Guess he was a SMOOTH CRIMINAL slashdotting all those servers!
One magic word: bug fixes.
More than a million people are accepting PC bugs, daily from Microsoft, why wouldn't this machine get the chance to get it's bugs fixed?

Why paint the plane gray like a shark?
The birds won't have enough time to notice the color or design before being hit anyways!
To avoid any hostility, do not greet them with:
Not very readable for most of us!
Or do we need to hack every browser in order to read Slashdot?... ;)
Thank you for your understanding
