You realise Apple patented these things in the 2000s, a few hundred years before DS9?

Another vote for the Marantz. I have just arranged a boardroom's AV installation, and this was the only bullet-proof (idiot-proof) system. It's rack-mounted (i.e. invisible), controllable from the AMX touch panel and integrated into the whole system. The secretary can hit 'record' at the start and 'stop' at the end without leaving her seat and it all happens magically. The AV fitout is about $90 000 installed so the Marantz - while not cheap - is just a tiny part of it.
Like the other guy said, if they can't afford it, they don't really want it.
Now if Lumpy could recommend something idiot-proof and AMX-controllable for me to record the visuals from the matrix switcher I'd be happy...
Photoshop on a 10" screen with that's nowhere near pro level and anaemic graphics acceleration. Why in God's name would you subject yourself to that?
>>My take on it is that the outside was ready, not the inside.
That's almost certainly true. MS shouldn't have had a product launch until they had a product to launch.
We've had DUI roadbloacks in Australia for years - since the 80s IIRC. It's so easy that no-one (except the drunk drivers) bats an eyelid. You stop, roll down the window, blow in the bag (they might even have one you just speak into these days) and you're on your way. I wish they'd put them outside pubs. The biggest hassle for me is if I'm on my bike because I have to take my helmet off.
As for those "sobriety tests" I see all the time on 'Cops', no-one else in the world understands them and why you don't just have a roadside breathalyser test.
Bands of Rubber? What a silly name. Who'd ever... oh, wait...

Ohhhhhh, THAT Dikstar's algorithm. Yeah. I know THAT one. I thought you meant the OTHER one which, like, no-one cares about.
I don't like the gannet. They wet their nests.
I'm an Apple-tragic but I don't have an iPhone. I'm using a gen 2 Nano because it's tiny (well it was when it was released), fits in my motorbike jacket nicely and has great battery life. I've had it for over 5 years and I use it 5 days a week. For a phone, I'm using some old Nokia thing that's missing two buttons but is otherwise unkillable and much more pocketable than an iPhone or similar.
This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob_GX50Za6c) shows Steve Jobs describing how powerful computers can be for the human race ('a bicycle for our minds') so it makes sense to teach kids how to get on that bike and ride.
The ALP acknowledges it. The Libs have a similar database. This is like the filing cabinet for correspondence in the local member's office, but electronic.
The Age is friendly to the government*. Maybe they aren't friendly to the police.
(The Age and other Fairfax papers are generally considered to be friendly to the ALP and the Greens. The ALP is currently in power federally. At the time The Age published the story, the ALP was also in power in Victoria, though they were recently replaced there by the Liberals. The story was about the state ALP database, though it is widely acknowledged that the Libs also use a database system to collate information they gather from correspondence and surveys.)
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
