A little help...
 
I have to write a paper for one of my curses of here at the RMA. It's about telecommunications on low level. Somebody knows some interesting subject to fill about 6 A4 pages with something turning around wireless communications or radios?

SteveDallas 02-23-2004 03:27 PM

It's not exactly "communications" in the the way you usually think about it (mostly because it's unintentional on the part of the victim), but Van Eck Phreaking is a fascinating topic, and it certainly uses radio waves.

Razorfish 02-23-2004 08:37 PM

If your looking for anything related to the future of wireless internet:

Hope its of some help.

Location based gaming, such as a game of Tron where you have to run around on the lawn yourself:

It should be on blanu.net, but it can be found here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/blanunet/6165.html.

This has me baffled. I can see a machine that will store and reference numbers, but comparing fingerprints? I didn't think that was possible until much later than 1935. :confused: I vaguely remember the PA State Police installing a computer system to do that, maybe 25 years ago, which could search state fingerprint files in 8 minutes. Up till then it took weeks to hand search files in all the state's locations

If anyone cursed with Firefox knows how to get rid of this goddamn thing

Attachment 59303

and can tell me how to send it to hell, I will love you forever.

I don't know what it is, or what it does, and I don't give a fuck what it is or what it does, I want it not on my screen.

Undertoad 02-02-2017 06:41 PM

That doesn't look like standard Firefox, that looks like an Add-On. If it's an Add-On, it can be Disabled. (Hamburger menu, Add-Ons, Disable anything you don't recognize or with an icon that looks like that)

Gravdigr 02-03-2017 01:10 PM

So far, it only appears on when I'm on the Wikipedia site. It's not something I've ever put there, showed up when I updated Firefox. Can't drag it away, can't right-click and Remove From Toolbar either. Customize Toolbar gives no love.

Flint 02-03-2017 02:19 PM

Put electrical tape over it.

Gravdigr 02-03-2017 02:22 PM

I thought about using a BMFH.

Well just click it man. It's "Reader View", a way to format articles so they are easy to read.

they are trying to help you and you hate them that is not very nice

sexobon 02-04-2017 09:15 AM

You can find the procedure for disabling it here: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disab...ew-in-firefox/

The same info is on the Mozilla support site, just not spelled out step by step quite so well.

fargon 02-04-2017 09:50 AM

I used to use Firefox, but it got cumbersome. So we went to google chrome and haven't looked back. I've got it on my macbook and Keryx has it on her PC and we have been pleased with it for years.

Thanks.

I already done clicked it. I just don't like it. I use that drop down list frequently, as well as the refresh thingy, and the Reader View button just makes things more difficult than they need to be.

They are making browsing more difficult for me, and that is not nice either, well, not as not as they could be.

"not as not as they could be"?! What the whatthe?

That second not should not be a not. Should be a nice. But, it's not.

It'll read the page aloud to you, too.

Well, part of the page.

I'm not sure it works like they intended.

Still don't like it, and it hasn't appeared on any site but Wiki.

Also, if you open it, and close it with the little 'x' on the right pane that opens, the icon goes away from the address bar. Til you open the page again, or refresh.

Griff 02-07-2017 06:11 AM

That does not exist on my firefox screen...

classicman 02-07-2017 04:14 PM

nor mine. What are they putting in that water down there, Grav?

Undertoad 02-07-2017 04:29 PM

what if you go to wikipedia?

Gravdigr 02-09-2017 03:35 PM

Occasionally it appears on news articles.

I'll have to admit, it's kinda cool on pages that load a lot of ads, and/or never seem to stop 'loading'. Just click the thing and it loads only words, no ads. Like the man said, makes reading some pages easier.

I'd sure like to put it somewhere else though. Don't like it there.

Gravdigr 02-21-2017 04:17 PM

Some different help. Please.

Can someone explain to me what a "PGA Tour mandarin" is? Because I got absolutely NFC what the author of this article is trying to convey.

Attachment 59461

I thought about this til my head hurt.

sexobon 02-21-2017 04:49 PM

From the Chinese - "A powerful official or senior bureaucrat, especially one perceived as reactionary and secretive."

Its use refers to the people who are running the PGA Tour behind the scenes.

Probably used more in the UK than here.

Wow. National Football Conference defines scandal in sports. How did that happen? Too many opiated linemen have bad knees?

Essential is to research all the latest acronyms.

Ask Trump. He will certainly have THE answer.

I learned this word in 1973 when I played this record until it was smoooooth.

This clip, I'll start it midway through the meal, is from the scene called The Last Supper (yeah, *that* one), and Jesus is disillusioned, angry, and disgusted with the foreknowledge of his imminent betrayal. First Peter gets called out, then Judas gets it with both barrels. At 5:18, Judas accuses Jesus with the epithet "a jaded mandarin", and man, is he hot about it.

My God, can these guys sing!

xoxoxoBruce 02-21-2017 10:44 PM

Sure, pin it on the black guy.
I saw this performed live in Philly, and was surprised how many Nuns were in the audience. Didn't see any of them toking though. :headshake

Gravdigr 02-22-2017 01:44 PM

I thank you for my edification.
