There was a virus that spread through emails that included various probably trigger words in the email that would cause them to be submitted for further analysis, in the hope that each email would get flagged by the automated-listening-in devices, bringing it down (or at least making it struggle a lil)
Not that we'd know if it was affective, but I liked the idea very much:-)
hehe, I actually -like- throwing in probably trigger words into my phone conversations, although i guess for real effect, maybe play some recordings of bin laden down the phone, cause some computers and some general somewhere to start overheating:-D
"Any sensors that need to see around the shield could retract back quickly upon detecting a really freaking bright light source"
Or as I joked in my earlier post, sit behind one-way glass... or a material that only lets light through at 90degrees (whatever it's looking at at the time), other light would be reflected. Of caues I'd feel sorry for whatever random innocent was sitting wherever the reflectected beam ends up!
You would also have to be able to compensate for the force pushing the sattalite out of orbit (yes, a powerful laser will deliver a small force, not sure how negligible tho)
Well my understanding is that RFID's don't have their own power source, they use power from the transmitter. This, as we know, means the amount of power it can use follows the inverse square of the distance rule... and of cause, the signal it sends back out will also be effected by this, so you're looking at over twice the inverse square rule.
So yes, if an RFID scanner picks you up, it knows where you are... you're standing right next to it.
But if you program your own chip to use on your own house/car/whatever, then it'll do nothin, as you don't have to connect your house to this big bad government database to help track you, and any other scanners will just see the code you put in, which doesn't have to identify you in any way.
is that they don't just build a big laser, but just call it a laser, not say it's anything to do with satallites... and should the need ever arise, fire it at some bad guy satallite. Could call it a prototype for deliverying energy to those teather climbing robots maybe.
"Pedophiles will be caught, murderers can be tracked down, rapists will no longer get off"
Huh?! "Hold still for a sec while you're raping me, I'm just gonna scan your RFID chip so police can catch you"... you do know there's a different between RFID chips and GPS transmitters right? And, if you're worried about your wife, *call her*.
Noo, there's plenty of ways you can charge it, such as magnetically, which is how middle ear implants are charged (if people had to cut inside their middle ear each time they wanted those charged, I doubt anyone would have 'em).
You're on slashdot, of cause I do. I expect to see Windows Vista released before I see a comment about MS on here that says anything new. Yes I have my issues with MS and Windows too, but the amount people winge about everything on here is a little on the pathetic side.
oh i getchya, you're recording the compression artifacts before compression, so will end up with double the artifacts... guess i've not listened to any of the files from napster so didn't know/think about artifacts in the stream.
Yeah guess you'd have to do it at a high enough quality then, which i guess would make them bigger (unless they're already at a high enough bitrate for the samplerate they're playing at, eg, 64k at 22khz will have fewer artifacts than 64k at 44hkz etc)...
I think I'd have to bin the idea anyway if they're that bad, there's not much point recording something like that.
If you want to illegally copy music, I'm sure there are easier ways which results in higher quality recordings. Or does it just make yer feel all manly being able to get round napsters "new thing"?
He didn't say this is unlimited, legal access to music. He said this is to *turn people on* to unlimited, legal access to music. This isn't it, this is the free bit to hook you in.

wow, somebody on slashdot with actual blood running through their veins, reading the other posts on this thread, I was starting to worry!
You're nothing new, and neither was your post. Jeez you people can be boring.

Satalites that sit behind one-way glass! Haha, I bounce your weapon back upon thee!

open arms, nice pun

err, I think it was a actually a South Park joke.

or Internet Magic Streaming, they'll definitely give you a patent if you call it that! I don't believe there's any prior art for magic...
Where does it say only five songs?

just make sure you don't use the word 'radio' and you'll be fine ;-)
Their "native form" is where you can listen to it 5 times.
If you record from your wave-out, it doesn't leave the soundcard, and in many cases isn't even converted to analog, it's fine.
