Still better than talking to a hand. Google doesnt listen to the users, they dont even have a place to post any concerns/complaints (probably because there was no way to automate it).

Actually you win lottery EVERY TIME you dont buy a ticket, but only 1 in few hundred millions if you do buy it.

Define dropout.
I signed up for >30 courses in total. I have 7 certs of accomplishment, all with 95-100% score. The rest I didnt bother doing quizzes/assignments, I downloaded all the videos and learn at my own pace for myself, I dont need any more diplomas.
I only failed in one class I was doing quizzes/assignments, by 3% (at first they send me cert and said i passed, but later revoked it after recount/quiz fixes or something).

Im sure I am destroying their stats taking all those courses and not doing any "work".

Hopefully app acl list will be USER defined instead of app defined.
How retarded is it for an app to blackmail you for Contact list/messages and phone calls just so you can play a game? How come its the app that decides and has the upper hand instead of the user? How come App can blackmail me and I cant simply REFUSE to give it data?
I want to be able to define ACLs per application. I dont give a shit what app wants, it can eat a duck for all I care. Phone status? sure, feed it fake USER DEFINED status. I dont need a game to know that I have GPS enabled. You want GPS data? Sure, let me feed N38 53.86205 W77 2.19162.
Its my phone damnit!

You had to buy specialized routers/expansion cards for decades to do certain things. Now you reconfigure those things on the fly.

He does this because malaria was killing his cheap OIL RIG labor in Africa.

It can be owned by Elon himself.

Yes, but using Mems microphones like those

20 for $12.

I dont know the math behind you algorithm, but it might be even possible to directly use PDM stream (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-density_modulation) from those microphones without converting it to PCM first. At 3MHz per micropfone you can cram 32 mics into 12MB/s stream in a small USB dongle that costs ~$40 to make (as low as $30 in bulk if you mfg in China).

Tablet is an ideal UI for something like this. If you could modify your code to visualize source of sound like in this /. article it would sell like hotcakes on kickstarter at $200.

Thats what she said.

its commonly called

Satellites have been using this technique since forever (at least the ones facing outwards from our planet).

Aperture synthesis, take 5 pictures in succession and you have your plate

Nice.

One from the article solves sync problems by building an array of cheap ($1 for Nokia ones) cellphone digital microphone modules.
This is quite brilliant and reduces cost tremendously. All you need is one USB I/O chip with 20-30 IO pins.

How fast is your algorithm? Could it run on average (2x 1GHz A8) ARM tablet? Is it expendable to more microphones?

This smells like a perfect kickstarter project - app + USB dongle you connect to android tablet/phone.

Plenty of A31 around, still If I was shopping for a cheap tabled I would look at RK3188 instead.

I admit I was misleading. GPU is faster, CPU is slower.
Rockchip on the other hand wins both cpu and gpu comparison (with crusty overclocked quad mali400) against fastest Tegra3.

My point was cheap Chinese SOCs aren't about bottom dollar_and_performance anymore. They are still bottom dollar, but performance starts to catch up.
