"Nokia invented Tic-Tac-Toe? I have all sorts of overdue kudos to give them!"
Just wait until they send you a bill for all those games you played in the sand as a kid. You can't just use other people's IP without paying and think you can get away with it.
I think that's a great idea, as long as they tell you up front "Hey, You're behind a firewall, if you want full access, sign this."
As long as I had a way to opt-out. I like to run my own firewall. I even do it like a business. I have a production box that doesn't get touched. If I want to impliment a major change , upgrade, or a new OS, I test it on another box first. Even have three matching machines to work with. One production and two test.
When you're trying to tune it to a specific frequency, 10% is a BIG difference. It's also the difference between a smooth landing and burying the lander into the surface of Mars.
I think that is his point. That by just waving his arm, he is sending electromagnetic waves through the air that are being picked up by the machine and that some psychics could also pick up and somehow use. Not that the brain was picking up the waves and transfering them to the machine. (although the brain could have been acting as a sort of passive antenna)
I think it's the other way around. People reporting these phenomena were already dismissed as crackpots, but since scientists found a possible explanation for one of their reports, it means their pots aren't as cracked as previously thought. (or at least there is one less crack in their pots)
The internet and cell phones depend on towers or routers/servers somewhere else. HAM is true P2P and often battery powered, so it works under any condition. Morse code works through HAM under even worse conditions.
Yes, morse code has been around for a long time and isn't used much any more. But, then reason it was invented in the first place was that it could be used under bad conditions when voice can't and could still be usefull. There is still a good network of HAM users that can communicate even if all other communications networks go down (ie: terrorist attack). But that number is shrinking and on top of that, there might be other problems getting a good enough signal through for voice communications. The basic HAM license doesn't require MC and the HF license only requires 5WPM which isn't hard. You learn a few basics, pass the test, and promptly forget it afterwords. The point is, that you did learn it at one time and if you ever HAD to use it, you could pick up a manual and figure out enough to get you by. It's like all those advanced trig problems you did in HS/college, or all that stuff on the MCSE exam. You don't remember it anymore, but you know enough that if you needed it, you could look it up and know what you were looking at.
So, you think that by charging the current going rate for a CD you can live off the profits of only 1000 CDs?
Let's say you charged $15/CD and were still able to sell/distribute 1000 of them. After giving out all the freebies, you would only need to sell 180 to break even. Then on the remaining 670, if you made 100% profit (which you don't) from them, you would gross $10,050. Which isn't bad for a side gig, but not nearly enough to live off of in any decent city where you would be able to sell 1000 CDs.
We're talking about a few more CDs here. If a big record label exec dropped 1000 CDs on the ground, it wouldn't even be worth his time to tell someone to pick them up.
You could stick two of them together (ethernet side) and make a phone bridge. You could dial into one (voice or data) and dial out on the other, or have it auto forward.
If there is enough room in the rom, you could install a DTMF decoder and be able to dial into it and punch in a code that would be sent down your ethernet for home automation or anything else.
DONT use a radio without headphones. Background noise is what it will come off as to others, no matter how low it is it will probably annoy others. Some people don't like it. ASK FIRST!
Someone started playing music a couple cubes away from me the other day. I just kept emailing them making fun of the lyrics of the songs they were listening to. It made for a good laugh between us, but they also got the hint and stopped.
Agree to what? I just turned on the computer when my cat decided to walk across my keyboard. After I grabbed him and put him on the floor, windows was booting up.
those nights when a singer physically can't execute the more extreme notes
Then they obviously aren't good enough at what they are doing. Performing means lots of practice and training and taking care of yourself so you can perform.
Just like any job, if you were out drinking and partying all night then showed up to work and couldn't do your job, you couldn't just pull out a machine that does it for you.
If I go to a concert, I want to hear the performers. If they are going to use machines like that then they might as well just pull a drunk off the street, prop him up on stage and plug in a CD.
Um, I'm sorry to tell you, but 3DFX went out of business and no longer writes drivers for its hardware. Therefore, Voodoo cards don't work with any new games.

I wonder if they submitted a change control for approval first. If so, they probably needed to keep the bug incase of an audit later.
we should be collecting money to buy him a therapist, some cool clothes, and a personal trainer.
Or like any self-respecting mistreated American kid, he just needs some FPS games , a trenchcoat, and some guns.
They just don't know how to cope in the great white north.
Maybe they were, and that's why the UPS was DOA.

So, Al Gore worked for Chile's revolutionary government in the early 70s?

It's so user friendly it only has one button, and we push that before it leaves the factory!!

Just get one of these.

Software like that for a very specific market is almost impossible to find.

They have personality. Personality goes a long way.
There is a sign in the women's bathroom (I'm told) in the bar I go to that says "Employees must wash genitalia."
So, how is this different from all the other ideas Microsoft stole from Mac/Apple?
