"They just want to find persons in California that has payed to his account so they can say that he got connections to California so the case can be tried there."
I wish there were a way for the people in California that are connected to this to sue the crap out of Sony and the US Gov't.
You're joking me, right? I beat the FUCK out of EA in California. EULA utterly smashed and forced to be re-written (and recently I heard EA may have voided part of that agreement, too, so I might get a chance to shash them again in the courtroom for breach of contract.)
EULAs have more often than not been ruled null in favor of a consumer in California. That alone is going to do CONSIDERABLE damage to Sony's case.
They're actually better off in NJ, which has more corporate-led corruption.
"The best polyphonic pitch detection in the world isn't anywhere near good enough to confidently say which notes we're playing."
WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Celemony Melodyne.
Been out for a year or so, now. I use it for editing polyphonic recordings, such as chord-heavy guitar. It works very well, and I can adjust individual notes to re-shape a chord or change it.
"The camera zooms dynamically to highlight where on the fret board you should be looking at, in much the same way that a musician’s eyes would scan up and down the neck of the instrument during a performance."
Any second-year guitarist would have already learned various modes, chords, and scales and can play them WITHOUT needing to look at the fretboard at ALL.
They're grounded enough externally. There's enough surface area to absorb and dissipate massive electrical charges. It's the crappy internal grounding that concerns me.
Photocells are climbing towards and passing 30% efficiency, and that's when exposed to the full visible EM spectrum.
"Please provide supporting evidence for your claim. I am working in a defense industry and would love to transfer a significant amount of power over fiber"
I work in optoelectronics. What fuzzy states is absolutely TRIVIAL to accomplish, and given the (typical) monochromatic nature of a laser, it's quite simple (well not really,) to build a PV that reacts to that range with higher efficiencies than a panel meant to absorb as many wavelengths as possible.
"The only way to make extremely RF tolerant electronics is to use analog vacuum tube based designs"
What? Really?? Please tell that to my properly-grounded solid state guitar amplifiers. I used to pick up radio stations before redoing the grounding, now it's dead quiet.
Learn to ground things out properly and RF is NEVER an issue.
Doesn't surprise me Boeing would discover this, the grounding on their planes is atrocious. I've shocked myself multiple times just boarding the damned things.
Except I can tell the movements are fake. However, The realism in the expressions once frozen is quite believable. They need to get some better PWM for controlling the eyelid movement and smoothing it out.

Go pick up .kkreiger and get back to me when you're done with it :)
Your glasses should come with a multi-year delaminating damage warranty if they come with specialized coatings.
"It's not possible to transact electronic currency outside the normal banking system"
Your database is outdated by about 8 years. I suggest you go find the nearest update repository and get current.

Pay attention to the music software industry.
No but TuxGuitar, with plugins, can EASILY be made to do exactly what you propose.

Cocaine doesn't stay in your system very long. 3-7 days and you'll piss clean on a UA (depends on how regular your habit is.)
My credit union refunds all ATM transaction fees, and I get a dividend payout at the end of the year.
Being in a credit union is like being a bank stockholder to a degree. It is much preferable to being part of a bank.
Find a good one and you will have very little to worry about financially if you're responsible.
We have much finer lasers now than we had back then, and we can control the pulses much better.
This means much finer channel creation, which means more channels, and thus more area for photon capture.
It may not be new but it has reached a new step.
"The advantage of lossless compression is not only the small audio quality improvement"
If anything gets added to the ORIGINAL via compression it's not an improvement it's a fucking artifact or distortion.
You cannot magically put in quality that was never there in the first place.
IR laser + scope. Just use it pulsed as a sighting/spotting mechanism. You can adjust for bullet drop once you've got your target clearly painted.
Airplanes have easily taken lightning strikes.
They're grounded enough externally. There's enough surface area to absorb and dissipate massive electrical charges. It's the crappy internal grounding that concerns me.
"This laser is too powerful to be used as a gun sight"
Only if you're a close-combat person. A sniper would enjoy this quite a bit.
"Aren't lasers almost completely unregulated?"
Not once you hit class IV IIRC, and many countries regulate anyways.
You assume those capacitors are electrolytic instead of solid.
1MW for 100ns it wouldn't go very far at all after the first target or do much more damage.
"Also, common sense might help... 1MW wouldn't should through just the razor..."
Depends on the length of the pulse, focus of the beam, and distance from target.
"because no communication system uses pure, unmodulated frequencies."
Quantum radio, using spooky effect of entangled particles to act as bits.
I guess you're not a physics major. I am an EE in the optoelectronics industry.

The memory on a GPU card is typically MUCH faster than the system memory.
