...but couldn't we just find the chip on the circuit, find out which digital output pin says *you can record this*, and just patch in that signal perminantly to whatever is recieving it?
This sounds pretty darn similar to the online blockbuster rentals. I cancelled my subscription, sent my movies back 4 days before the end of my service, they didn't get there in time, i got charged $25 each for the three movies i had. Called and complained that i either wanted the movies back or the $75 back, and after about 2 weeks, i got all but a $1.50 fee for each movie back. It should have been clear that when the movies were post marked BEFORE the due date, that they were no longer in my possesion and I can't control how fast the movies get there.
my yahoo account i use to collect spam gets 1700 a month, while my "real" email account i've recieved 1566 since august of 2003, only 10 of those being spam.
If 10 people get caught, that's 33 million bucks. 100 people, 330 million bucks. That FAR exceeds the amount of money generated by movie... Who gets this money?!
Yes, but would you like to be "one of those people" who uses it? Just imagine what their marketing machine would do...you'd be assured that 50% of it's users dont use even 50% of it's functionality. They bought it because they didn't know what else to get and it was pretty.

the funny thing is, my bank website is the only site i know of where firefox automatically fills in my account login info and password when the page loads, all i have to do is click ok......
It's ok though, seeing as my dad is the only person i dont want seeing my statements...but he works for the bank, so no password is complex enough to prevent him from doing that:\
my highschool flat out denied that the computer systems were hacked. grades were changed for money, etc. And the newspaper reporting that nothing important was breached. *shrugs* oh well.
my bank makes me change my password every so often, and they keep tightening the requirements (use letter, number, symbols, AND capital letters) and you can't repeat previous passwords to a certain degree (4567yydlso is the "same" as YYdlso4567, etc.) I
have a password "scheme" that i have always use, and forever will use, on every one of my 50+ random places i need passwords...EXCEPT my bank password, because i've used every combination it will let me in my scheme. i've resorted to using such things as "13illGate$" and random shit that firefox stores, but i can NEVER remember, because it is stored.
As for double verification being the way to go, i already practically do that on my bank accountt, too. I forget my password that nobody including myself could be expected to remember, so i call the bank, verify personal information, they reset my password to something, and i put it in and am forced to change it again to something i wont remember.
Most likely i would lose the piece of paper in the 2 months between needing it:\
You'd be suprised how easy (DMM, soldering skills, and a few parts) you can make a 5mW output into near 100mW. At around 150 mW, you can melt trash bags.
We did this a number of years ago with a battery powered dremmel. Fun, but not quite as fast/dangerous. We also did it in a warehouse, so it wasn't like it was going to slam into a wall 12 inches from our face.

Sure, they tell you to save your login info, and it will works offline next time. But what if (read: when) windows crashes, that login data is lost. So basically, normal use of your PC will render your offline game unplayable. Good going Steam, relying on Windows' stability for us to be able to play an offline game.
I havn't finished my EE degree, but i'm pretty sure one cable (with 2/3 conductors in it) to power this charging pad, not a "whole bunch".
Do you charge your cell phone with something else attached to it? How about a PDA? An mp3 player you might have headphones connected to it, big deal. What all wires do you use?
I would say it's directional, being that you sit your device on top of the pad. They aren't any more dangerous than anything else you have on your desk. In fact, my 15minute battery charger has far more risk of blowing up a battery than this thing has of damage.
What would you have to cradle? Your laptop, cellphone, mp3 player, wireless mouse, GPS unit, tv remotes all just have to be touching it. What would you a need a cradle for? An electric baby?
i had a few of those together once in my hand, and i got stuck to the doorhandle when i tried to walk out of the room to show a friend how powerfull they were.
At IU one of my friends collected 52 $1 gift certificates from large fries from the McDonalds Monopoly thing, spent them online, and then spent them in the store the next day.
$104 dollars at BB just for eating fries...imagine if he really tried, or even just stole other people's gamepieces.

You could always neatly route the one cable.
I thought all digital signals are propogated in the analog spectrum.

My old phone i just bought a $10 cable, and thew all the free MIDI's onto it i wanted. Now, with IR on my phone, i didn't even have to buy a cable.

lol, i dont use that account for anything but ebay/paypal...and never have, so there's no junk there, but maybe only 10 emails a month in there total.

i thought the limited length of a rollover cable was even far shorter than the standard 100m, too?
