No, it would be moving at the speed of light. You'd have a few milliseconds to make peace with yourself. But it would take those few milliseconds for you to perceive that you needed to make peace with yourself. and then, after those few milliseconds you would have nanoseconds of observation of pieces of yourself
Are you planning on not watching the Olympics and stepping up efforts not to buy products from China? Beyond that, there is approximately fuck all that citizens of other countries can do about it. Olympics? Maybe, not sure yet. Products from China? I do avoid, whenever possible. Especially with my kids' toys and food products. Found that there is a lot of decent convenience foods we import into the states from Canada. Those chicken dinosaurs from CA are waaaay better too (I actually like them). -nB
Proof of concept I did to show someone that they were not safe with your method: sniff, get MAC addy wait for no traffic on WAP for ~10 min automated crawler starts (could be anything though) if it detects competition for the MAC it halts the crawler, sleeps 10 min, listens for traffic. wash rinse repeat. You'd not even know someone was hijacking your connection as you'd chalk up the initial delays (while there was address contention) to re-connecting seeing as once you "connected" your speeds were normal.
Nah, But this has several things going for it. Counterfeits are not likely (I mean at 4/year it's going to be difficult to slip one into the chain) Clones are not viable: Still expensive to produce, no likely buyers (tried and true only "for teh Win!") Even if someone considered using a clone, all the world's NRCs would require destructive testing of at least one maybe two or three units before vetting them and approving for use.
The Chinese rip off all sorts of stuff, but they're not stupid. They can't compete in this arena. -nB
I have a friend that said something to the effect of it's vaguely like home. He said it with sadness. He emigrated from Russia (proper) after the wall fell. Some of the other folks I know from the Ukraine have said similar things.

Just set it up like those damned U3 drives where it maps in a phantom CD-Rom that autoruns. Except instead of helpful software it's a copy of relatively recent global news and maybe a friendly "sponsorship" message. Just no pop-up so inserting the drive doesn't automatically make someone vulnerable to "He's using American media, shoot him" or whatever.
If I wasn't in the US and honestly more scared of the Cuban Embargo than the RIAA I would buy 200 or so 512Meg drives, do this, and ship them over with maybe 450-500Meg usable space.

If you're paranoid enough (or if like me your USB key is a cheapie that doesn't have a switch), load your image, make sure it works, crack open the key, then lift the WE# pins from the TSOP flash devices (specs on-line, just look up the respective chip). That way my boot & nuke / clean-up key never gets accidentally formatted by someone. -nB
I was thinking that exactly (or rather more exact: the system Stephen Hawking uses...) I have access to the design of Dr. Hawking's system, and IIRC it's mostly open source. If Kenny recovers enough to be fruitful, I'll be calling OCZ for interface assistance. Who knows? Maybe a free unit and some support in exchange for a website extolling its usefulness and documenting the (hopeful) success...
To that end, anyone at OCZ who reads this: Have you guys thought of this for an application? -nB
You know, almost 17 hours before this was posted, my wife's uncle had a stroke. Should he survive he likely will never talk again and his motor skills will be poor enough that typing will be labor intensive for him. All I can think is WOW, this is only $300, and would have been 10 grand just 5 years ago.
I'll be buying one, but not for games. Even if Ken doesn't make it, I think there is promise in a software app to use this for limited communication (teach limited words: yes, no, hurt, cold, hot, help, hungry, thank you, love you, etc.; then grow into sentence building, ala Hawking's setup). -nB

obviously the right answer is charge a toll and subsidize bus/train transit directly with said toll money.
