I use multiply monitors as well and for a very similar reason as yours, I just can't play MMORPGs any more.

A while back, I played a lot of Anarchy Online and got used to playing with 3 PC/monitors, 2 active characters with side-by-side monitors and stacked keyboards/mice and another PC/monitor off to the side with a character standing around in town as a shop. Ever since then, anything less that 2 characters at once feels slow paced. Admittedly, I am more of a RTS player than RPGer or FPSer.

Similar here, 106" Projection and a 17" monitor for my main PC in my living room, and I have another PC in the same room with a 19" CRT connected to my music sound system and that I also use for my VOIP phone and general network storage accessed via VPN.

That's all besides the 8-12 functional 16" - 17" CRTs in my basement and 5 - 6 functional towers all over my house.

2 Towers and 3 displays should be enough for anyone....

Who says you have to man a transmitter?

1. It would depend on whether they can discriminate between that and any other frequencies being used.

2. They would need to know what method of modulation being used, AM, FM, Single sideband, dual sideband, etc.

3. When audibly scanning frequencies, most encrypted traffic is indistinguishable from static.

Let's say you had a spectrum analyzer and hooked it to an antenna and you had an antenna that you could electronically adjust the length (antenna length is a factor in broadcast and receiving frequencies) and you specifically focused on the frequency ranges used by the military, under ideal conditions you may be able to determine signal strength indications showing you a range in which you may be able to potentially jam. Functionally, you are looking at having to use a computer program to do it fast enough and is able to discriminate between other background freqs in that area. It would be time consuming with a large number of false positives.

All of that would be if they were using low frequencies, now if they are using Higher freq. Line of Sight or Satellite bouncing communications you would have to get right in the path of the transmission to even tell it was going on. And even then, those methods work well because you do not have to put as much power into it.

Makes no difference when the enemy is radio jamming. It would be much easier to build/modify a radio transmitter to jam signals and make the UAV unable to be remotely controlled for an area than it would be to actually intercept and take control of the UAV. I would suggest that the primary concern is that the UAVs transceiver can be reverse engineered for the frequency range/channelization and then create a device that would allow for easy end-user jamming.

When I worked on radio systems in the Navy we had some radio modules that would also allow for frequency hopping to avoid potential frequency jamming, combined with usage of encryption and daily keys made for a pretty effective system.

How else are you going to get that damn snickering dog?

I have mod points and was interested in your comment. Having looked over all the comments and UIDs, I must say you are factually incorrect. At the time of the writing of this post, I only found 1 registered commenter with 3 comments with a UID greater than 2 million.

I am no right wing apologist and believe my comment history will speak for itself.

I'd be more likely to say that 48% of CBS online ghost poll respondents are morons.

I took my own poll and have determined that over 99% of online poll respondents have internet access.

As Mike from techdirt points out:

From comments of original article:

Agreed, I think this quick charge application would be best saved for recharge stations and not for home use.

The best usage of this technology would be for solving the long distance traveling problem of purely electric cars.

Trickle charge for home use and fast charge at refueling recharge stations for long trips.

I read it that way at first and was expecting some sort of video when the heat from a laptop totally destroys a table.

*Sigh*

It really would depend on where exactly PJ decides to pad out the side questing of Gandolf and any cut scenes to Sauramon and possibly Gollum (it would surprise me if extra Gollum scenes were not added to this one.) I would suggest right after the spiders just as they encounter wood elves or possibly when they meet with Beorn . The trolls are just way too early, they are the first baddie encounter in the book, 2nd chapter.

Recruitment - Trolls - Rivendell - Mountain Goblins - Gollum/Ring - Wargs/Goblins (treed) - Eagles - Beorn the Bear - Spiders - Wood Elves/Barrels - Lake Town - Lonely Mountain Back Door - Bilbo Burgles Smaug - Smaug Dies - Battle of Five Armies - Bilbo Returns to Shire
