I have a fake that likely was made by a master craftsman (or out of heisted rolex parts). My jewler friend (I fix his PCs, he takes care of the jewlery:) said the only reason he knew it was a fake is that he knows I'm too cheap to spend over $100 for something I don't wear except when required as an accessory. I hate watches, bracelets, cufflinks (as that implies cuffs), or anything else around my wrist. Drives me nuts! -nB
"Apparently there was nothing in those books about disposing of evidence."
To be fair, it would appear that there was no direct evidence in the car. Problem is, like most ultra-super-uber-freaky_cool-keen-whazit geeks he attacked the problem programatically, and the circumstancial evidence was an unhandled exception. Talk about kernal panic! -nB

I wonder how much it would cost to outsource to India or (the irony, Nigeria) for a human spam filter. Nothing beats the human brain at pattern recognicion...

Motorola's nextel phones are noiser than hell. Even trying I can't create as much interference as they do. ratatattat tat tat tat tat just before a call comes in or whenever you switch between cells (while I'm listening to 1530 AM).

Mostly because to get the same torque as a diesel they are gorssly inefficent. The flip side is that they don't need a half hour (or more in cold areas) to warm up to operating temperature. -nB
3.4Ghz Prescott, 1Gb 533DDR2 no issue with h264 1080p decode, encode at about 20% of realtime. one up: PIII 550 512meg PC100 and a PCI Vertex FPGA, no issue with decode and encode 1080p both (just) at real time, wiggle the mouse and there may be jitter. Next up Spartan FPGA in a PCIe socket with a core2DuoEE with 4Gb ram, should be capable of 1080p encode at 4x realtime. (just need money:-) -nB
As so aptly demonstrated by Ollie North, the 5th is not even required: "I have no reccolection of those events sir". That should work in the UK to some extent as well.

Which just goes to show that I am not an intellegent enough designer:-) But really if there was enough impedimus to have the brain even better protected than the skull and dura, then I'm relatively sure that there would be some way to move the heat away...

Without hitting the ID crap. We often refer to mother nature "experimenting" with evolution. We here all know* that there is no ID in the experiment part of the statement, it is more a euphamism for some random mutation that may or may not stick. To that end the only intelligent thing about having your brain in your head is the bandwith available for visual and auditory perception and processing. I'd venture to say a brain in the chest cavity would make a hell of a lot more sense and invest in faster nerves for the ears and eyes, except that until recently if you lost your ears and eyes you were effectively dead anyway.

you are obviously not an acoustical engineer... not even an advanced amateur.
Example: Take an untrasound of a pregnant woman, pretty cool. move the transducer 1mm away from her abdomen, nothing. This cuff works basically the same way. A weapon would have to work in a predominately similar way. -nB
Oh, and even if it would work all cool like you speculate, you'd still need to aim it, else the freindly fire aspect will *suck*.
Yeah, This was one of those "can you fix this" questions from someone. My rather quick answer was: no In reality it may have been fixable, but the lifespan of everything connected with that supply would be questionable.
That current limiting part costs money, and M$ went so far as to use a non IEEE compliant PHY for the network port because it was 35 cents cheaper than a compliant part of vastly superior quality. When you're selling at a loss it's vastly more difficult to push quality over BOM price. -nB
you're both right. The spec calls for 500mA but most vendors connect the port to an *unfused* 5V line. This (IMHO) is a BadIdea (tm). sure you can draw 2A, you can try to draw 100A too but something's gonna give. Case in point: http://xbx.networkboy.net/modules/gallery/albums/a lbum18/P1000121.jpg It's a design flaw (in most cases) that you can draw that much current from a USB port. -nB
