In case those pesky germans decide to kidnap american soldiers, or if the crazy gun freaks hide out on the salt lake flats.
Otherwise, I think the kidnappers in columbia would get a little suspicious if rescuers started building a really straight and flat road over the goat-trail towards the hideout.
digital radar is a product that is supposed to do exactly what you're looking for.
It was available from connectix and according to logitech's web site (logitech bought the quickcam stuff from connectix) is still available with their quickcams.
There is an older version for macos too, but I don't think it's been updated in a while.
Maybe Dvorak is *smarter* than you think...

Did it ever occur to anyone that Dvorak and Forbes approve of this type response to his rants?
One thing I've noticed over the years of Dvorak rants is that they seem to be geared towards turning people's heads.
He used to troll for Mac-heads by bashing Macs. Now most Mac users ignore him, so he has to think of a new group to target in order to garner readership/hits. AFAIR, years ago John Dvorak was one of the editors of, get this, _MacUser_.
So he's moved onto opensource, EFF, and copyleft topics to troll. Clue in boyos, it's not about what he says, but how many people read it.
Are you that naive to expect that law enforcement will walk away after repeated drops to a house? All they'll do is stake out the address, especially if the ask FedEx to flag shipments to that place.
IANAL (nor do I have any direct experience in this problem).
If you haven't already, I think you should form your own company if you haven't already. Ensure that you are not the sole owner, give your mom and dad a few percent of it, so there isn't anything that suggests that you ARE the company.
Release the product as a beta product now and suggest it to your company. If it looks good enough to them, they'll suggest you use the other company's product instead of developing in-house.
OR
Tell them you've been developing that product for another company in your off time. Watch out for those nasty clauses that suggest that they own any and all IP developed when you first signed on.
The 733 comes with the DVD Superdrive, which alone retails for $3899. So $3500 is quite a deal right now especially since iDVD is so cool. Of course, give it a few months and the drive will be a couple of hundred, but if you need to live on the bleeding edge...
Wouldn't it be less than $25k for non-human payloads? After all, you don't have to factor in the cost of a 160 pound sack of potatoes in a $50 million negligence lawsuit after the rocket explodes.
Then again, those potatoes were a family heirloom...
As a canuck with cable through shaw (@home), I'd just to put in my two canadian pennies by saying the service here rocks!
Sure it's not 100%, sometimes the network goes down between 2am and 4am, but beyond that I'm very please with the service. Here in Edmonton high speed service is basically through Telus (phone DSL), or whichever cable company provider is in the neighbourhood (a duopoly consisting of Videon and Shaw).
Prices are $40 CDN ($25 US) per month for cable and $50 CDN for DSL. Shaw has been great for me personally. All of my Shaw buddies started off with 800kB/s - 1000kB/s DL speeds about 18 months ago. Now with more people on it has come down to 50kB/s-300kB/s. Upstream connects are about 70kB/s.
The best part about my provider has been that their DHCP server allows as many computers as I want and they've never capped my UL/DL amounts (I average about 10-100GB per month), although technically it is in violation of my contract.
Anyhow, this long winded tirade is just to illustrate that we do not get substandard service up here simply because it's not a free market scenario...
...if you think about it. Supposedly legal to serve in the country of origin, yet illegal to consume in another. It's just the onus of the user to regulate themselves as a citizen of their particular nation and abide by their country's rules. iCraveTV should remain for consumption whereever it is legal.
I'd suppose you can also compare this to getting soft drugs in the Netherlands; do what you want there but don't bring it back!
The simple act of declaring this type of image manipulation illegal is warfare on a very subliminal level; it dissuades and confuses the enemy while a nation can marshal troops more effectively. The idea of codifying war in order make war civilized is foolish. War is a messy business, and once over, the winning nation must justify it's own criminal behaviour by villifying the losing one; thus the need to create reasons to punish the "neo-unjust" (losers). Funny how no one got prosecuted for annhilating all those poor civilians in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Strange how the Chinese never got to prosecute the Japanese for the Rape of Nanking. The US handily forgot about any type of code regarding civvies during the nuking of Japan or the fire bombing of Dresden. Efficacy and economy wins out every time, and winning is the whole point of war, so vid-edit away until the other guy loses!
If Microsoft is found guilty the DoJ should take no action at all; free market forces will change MS forever after that. This is because:
1. Share prices will fall upon the news. 2. Civil cases will come out of the yinyang against microsoft from class actions and the 'wronged' corporations. 3. Share prices will plumment further. 4. Some of the cases will be won with some crazy damages awarded (look at that Toshiba case). 5. Microsoft will be contained enough.
IBM OS/2? Dead, the minute they decided not to support Win32. If their marketing slogan had been "absolutely, positively 100% Windows compatible, only better!", they would have won.
Charged for SDK, no full driver support. Couldn't market/monopolize/innovate like MS because of DOJ investigation into IBM monopoly.
Apple? The true monopoly. People dumped them because they tried to hold onto too much power
I would say *all* companies operated with Microsoft-like intentions in mind. Apple was just too dumb, hiding in a glass house when other companies started throwing rocks. The last real straw though was MS withholding development of Mac Office 95. Business has a requirement of up-to-date Office compatability; Apple didn't have it so no more Macs in the workplace. Office98: too little too late. If Apple was smart right now they'd acquire Adobe, Photoshop/Illustrator being their last real bastion.
Netscape? They lost because their browser sucked. The only reason they survived as long as they did is momentum and anti-Microsoft sentiment.
I think that Microsoft totally screwed Netscape by taking away their revenue stream when the browsers became free. Think about it, this free thing totally screws the other corporation; Linux/BSD will do to Microsoft in OSes what Microsoft did to Netscape in Browsers. It's just taking longer in the OS case because Microsoft had more money (to hire full timers) to accelerate the browser war.
has such hubris that they (have) raise(d) prices in an industry where prices fall.
They should have shipped a 350MHz or 400MHz processor with that 500MHz machine that was promised, given a coupon for a 500MHz CPU upgrade and some other bonus (discount coupons or UltraSCSI card or printer, etc) for waiting so long. That way the customer would get a working machine and preserve their goodwill towards Apple and the bottom line.
Your 50 clock/30 clock example makes an erroneous assumption. Let me put it this way: chip A, clocked at 50MHz has a 50 clock latency cycle while chip B clocked at 30MHz has a 30 clock latency cycle. How long does chip C have to wait for it's request to be fulfilled from Chip A or B?
Your error is assuming that latency is measured only by clock cycle delay on the processor side, when the latency is the actual time it takes from going to the RAM instead.
If SDRAM can keep up with Rambus technology two years from now I'll be mighty impressed, but Rambus will probably be cheaper and faster at that point, with similar latencies but much more bandwidth. SDRAM just hasn't run out of steam at this point...

Sounds like a fun read. Maybe if we can't Open Source the satellites, we could write an OS book about it?

There already is a book about it, or a short sentence at least. It's called an obituary.
For that annoying no menu drop down, try hitting a keyboard shortcut (eg. Ctrl-P and cancel). This fixes it most of the time for me.
The Tick was a parody? Oh...I get it now...
