So now rouge undersea vessels will simply release large amounts of bloody meat periodically to distract sharks that may be pursuing them? These implants may provide stimulus sufficient to alter the course of a roaming shark but I seriously doubt they will have sufficient influence to deter them from an easy meal.
I've taken apart several hard drives, usually to visually inspect them as a post mordem after they crash. Given the amount of work involved it seems pretty lame to bother putting a 3GB drive back together again. The resonably strong permanent magnets inside the drive are probably more usefull than another tiny drive lying around gathering dust./still working on my RAUD (redundant array of USD disks)
Okay so we all (hopefully) know the dangers of lead paint chips eaten by children. How long before some child eats aluminum or copper paint chips, kicking off massive regulatory uproar?
When I bought my home it had to be certified as having lead free paint. How many kids have to suffer with unforeseen side effects before copper/aluminum paints are certified as harzardous, seriously impacting the value of any home painted with them.
Do yourself a favor and steer clear of these products. They will likely be deemed toxic eventually.
So this means the good ol' CDDA data we've been rippin' for year *is* included on the disc, right? Thus, a simple hack will be to use a scriptable sector editor to copy the raw CDDA from the disk to your HD and viola! no need to decrypt, just encode as usual! The only tricky bit may be to find where on the disk the CDDA data is located...
...Add an an audio synthesizer + loudspeaker component so we play christmas tunes for your neighbors (actually so we can play the 5-tone sequence from close encounters over and over and over...).
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity & disillusionment and despite the changing fortunes of time, there will always be a big future in computer maintenance.

...because alot of oldsters would pay good money to install them in their basements to drive their 40 year old never-left-home kids away!
Finally, all the coders at EA Games who work 16 hour days and sleep in their cubes can get that perfect tan they have always wanted!
Hmm...an EA Games coder with no tan lines *shudder*

The MDCT in itself is actually lossless. Any distortion you notice is most likely introduced by the quantization applied post MDCT during compression.
