Portable Braille and Screen Readers

I want to find a piece of free software that will voice the text on any page highlighted. I also want a device like a mouse that will interact with a blind person by raising dots on a pad in the form of braille. It could be an output device for a blind person instead of a screen. The device could also be clickable, perhaps on certain braille bunches. They could click on option word 1, 2, or 3, and feel information from a different area. This could be palm and 3 fingers, in variable size.

I would accomplish this with a matrix of small raisable plates in the device. It would probably have a resolution of 200X300 dots, some moving in bunches for size control, with their height controllable as well to form rounded bubbles. The top 50X300 would be 3 clickable segments, with that data input into the computer. This could be an endless interactive story with a blind person, which seems like an attractive option. The device could even be rollable like a mouse to add more interactivity, perhaps as analog level data.

It'd be plug & play, require no visual input into the computer, and begin with Hello! It might also make certain beeps. It could contain a RAM stick for the basic commands. I imagine all data could fit on a 256 mb flash card, and a 1gb stick would last for the life of a human.

Make it be!

Microsoft Interruption

Microsoft has some speed issues. Their software is unable to run on the average machine these days. I have listed numerous methods to quicken browsing and hardware reflection in software. Vista requires something like 700mb of RAM just to run. XP required only perhaps ~150MB on a good day.

Open the BIOS at startup and set your ram to run at 2T instead of 3T. This reduces a possible RAM bottleneck by 33% immediately.

Install WINUSCON from www.majorgeeks.com and examine your startup programs and services. Disable any services that you do not want. YPager is a common application that will never announce itself but runs at startup and doesn't do anything except use up 15-25MB of RAM, sometimes more, and slow down your startup.

You might also want to go to www.driverheaven.com and download TuneXP 1.5, if you run Windows XP. It can help you do numerous positive tasks for your system that you'd need to spend hours researching to understand that they even exist.

You could also go into System in the control panel and set your processor or RAM to run more intensively through programs or background processes, depending on how much resources you have and how much multitasking you do. You can also adjust your virtual memory to the highest allowable setting, usually in the GB range. This requires those GB of HD space.

Always download the latest drivers, do not use custom drivers. Do not try overclocking a laptop. Do not bother overclocking a system with few resources. RAM upgrades often do the trick for an old computer. Video card upgrades substantially extend the gaming life of a machine. Mozilla has an "about:config" directory, if you type it into the address line.


Note that good has authority over evil, and all good is together.

Blimps For Signal

This is a great idea for wifi. It'd be cheaper than satellites.

Airships for signal.

I'd also like to send you info about The Midairport, a blimp-based high-altitude airport/spaceport.

Mozilla Trackless Entry

You can surf freely through your mozilla.org browser by using the Trackmenot item found at the title link. Your actual searches will be obfuscated by a sea of low priority random searches. This is useful, it seems.

However, its usefulness depends both on the complexity of the random search and the speficity of your search. Yes, speficity is now a word. It means specificity, but no one wants to say nor spell that word and speficity is much better.

For example, if you search for JFK assassination, and the bot searches for all things A-Z of a string type between one and 16 characters in length, it will not shield you well. Also, the technology of the 'delayed cycle' code encrypted into new hard spyware, found in some keyboards, probably all new computers after 2006, etc, will transmit your info out into the world via imperceptible delays in signal processing. It is unencryptable.

Trackmenot would not prevent that, but I don't see how it could hurt you, unless it is a kind of software version of this hardware jig, which I highly doubt. It may also clog google and other isps.

This is decent software, but can you do something along these lines
about sending out faux pauses in code? I bet a jig for faux pauses would
really mess that surveillance style up. Random faux pauses in a code of
faux pauses will destroy that code. See if you can find the hardware
items and then crack into them using software interrupts. Even the
keylogging keyboard! It goes thru the cpu, it is hackable.
