Well, I think the normal solution is to have dedicated (probably analog) electronics in the headset itself. These spring to mind. It's stupid to use a general-purpose digital computer for simple realtime audio processing.
The way this is done in noise cancelling headphones is by recording background sound and right away outputting a signal such that the output destructively interferes with the background noise.
IMHO if this is just software, it's a scam. You need hardware for this, because you want the microphones to be close to the ears (i.e. on the outside of the headphones).
Check the write protect switch. I had a faulty SD card with a write protect switch so loose that inserting it into a reader almost always moved the switch to protect. It took me a while to work out what was happening and put some tape on it.
If your sure it's a software problem, then you could try writing zeros over the MBR with dd or something to make it look like completely unformatted media.
Well, yes. One is a standalone 32-bit executable, the other is a 32-bit library which is supposed to be loaded by a 64-bit binary. Your AMD64 can execute both 64-bit and 32-bit code, but 64-bit apps can't link 32-bit libraries.
It's all a bit of a mess, and the performance gains for 64-bit are not actually that great for many apps, which is why I run all 32-bit code on my EM64T-capable Intel Core 2.
I do wonder exactly who is affected by TV advertising. Is everyone aware that advertising is trying to trick them into thinking in a certain way, but are subconsciously effected by it anyway (and if so am I affected by it even though I hate seeing adverts)? Or are there people who just feel that adverts are literally intended to "advertise", i.e. helpfully inform us that a useful product is available?
I wonder why there are absolutely no adverts which are intended to give you a good idea of why you should get they thing they want you to get. If I saw an advert which briefly listed the specs of a new device without eulogising it, I might be more likely to buy it, but as it is almost all adverts advertise things I've already heard of and formed opinions about.
I've not consciously trained myself, but I too almost always notice the intended message of adverts. "It'll make you a better parent" is one of the most common on UK terrestrial TV - pictures of happy families and kids.
I'm sure it's occurs by accident in new cars. However, it is so strongly linked to buying a nice car by some people that it wouldn't surprise me if they try to fake it in old vehicles.
Hmm... what about the close button on the popup window? That could cause a warning in layman's terms about the consequences of killing the script. Closing the window is something that most users try when pressing "OK" is just causing the problem to repeat.
Well, maybe a keyboard shortcut then. And it's not just "a problem that occurs in a very small minority of web pages". It's a potential deliberate DOS. It's something that will cause you to loose the email you're writing in another tab because someone thought it would be funny to IM you a link to a looping page.
I wasn't addressing the usability issues. I was offering an answer to "All of the themes look too "plasticky" and fake" and the need for a good "expose" type feature.
I use KDE on XGL, with only a few problems. For the moment, you can't use kwin, but you can theme cgwd to look a lot like various kwin themes. For some reason, the taskbar applet for switching virtual desktops doesn't work properly. A few keyboard shortcuts are broken, mostly because compiz uses them for something else. Other than these problems, it works fine for me. The Gentoo Wiki has some good instructions, some of which will apply to other OSs too.
I was going to suggest the JS fix! A good model to follow IMHO is Konqueror's: JS dialogs have "Yes", "No", and "Stop Script" buttons. They also have the originating domain name in the window title, to solve the problem, inherent in tabbed browsing, of wondering where a dialog came from.
Re: the hotkeys: They really need to make the key for switching to the next tab configurable, because several Linux desktop environments like to use ctrl-tab for switching virtual desktops.
They flew them all the time, taking shifts, just circling. Yes, it was really expensive. I guess they didn't want a situation where they were bombed or sabotaged on the ground, or even delayed a few minutes by having to take off.
AFAICT, it's just because he's her husband. They have arrested him because they have suddenly decided she's been missing long enough to decide she's dead, and in the case of a murdered wife, the husband is an obvious suspect. They aren't saying he murdered her, they're just holding him while they decide, so (if he's guilty) he doesn't run away. Either they find no evidence against him and release him, or they decide to try him for murder.
How long can one be held before being charged in the US, if there is no excuse to use antiterror laws?

What If Microsoft Made A Media Player And No One Cared?
Hmm, seems CF doesn't have a write-protect switch. Try the second suggestion though.
Well, I don't know what a CF card looks like or whether it's possible for the switch to get flicked like that.

I know it's modal. That's the problem.
I meant the close button of the Javascript dialog.

I'm sure I read an article a few years ago about him changing his voice to a less American one.

I don't get it... Can someone explain?

Am I expected to put my email address on Slashdot, of all places? ;-)
Use your journal. Or something.

Other than these problems, it works fine for me. The Gentoo Wiki has some good instructions, some of which will apply to other OSs too.
So, basically you want KDE to be more like MacOS X? You could try using the Baghira theme and running KDE in XGL.

WTF is the "Button Room" about? I doubt they actually have special hardware for software testing...
