I used to be somewhat active on a ROM hacking message board, and there were rules about how users could share their modifications. Users had to share a patch. Uploading or linking to prepatched or original binaries was prohibited, and moderators would routinely intervene and remove them. Having been exposed to such measures to avoid action from copyright holders in the past, I just don't understand why it is so popular to just post the code openly.

Perhaps there is a concern that the croudfunds could be considered a third party payment under subsection 4.

The only explanation that I can think of for the subsection was to prevent a defendant from claiming that a source like the decedent's own life insurance should be counted against the restitution, but that seems a bit far fetched.

This Citylab story was recently submitted to HN: https://www.citylab.com/life/2019/04/arkansas-internet-munic...

A somewhat related development in Arkansas is electric co-ops, which were started to provide electric service to rural areas, starting telecommunications subsidiaries with rather firm plans to build FTTH over their entire service area. Several of these have been started in the last few years. Arkansas could see some remote rural areas without paved roads or public water get symmetrical gigabit internet before many urban centers.

The DSP-1 was a preprogrammed microcontroller that preformed certain calculations that would have been inefficient to preform on the SNES CPU. The inputs were written to a memory mapped location, and the outputs read back. An interposed copier could simply redirect these reads and writes.

The SuperFX and SA1 used the cartridge's ROM and RAM for program and data, and therefore these enhancement chips are placed between the SNES bus and the cartridge memory. The cartridge memory is unavailable to the SNES bus while the enhancement chip is executing, as in the SuperFX, or the the enhancement chip enters wait states while the CPU is accessing the cartridge memory, as in the SA1.

EDIT: I ended up working around it by switching between the two lowest quality settings each time the stream hung. Disabling Adblock Plus on the page and adding Flashblock exceptions had no effect.

Here is a video made by someone selling one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAghB2-Ks5I

I bet many of the people here can guess the fate of it and many of my other toys.

If that is all that is left, the patent should be toast.

When a program wanted to produce a tone, the program took the input frequency of the clock divider divided by the desired frequency and programmed it into the clock divider. To control the duration of the tone, a DOS or BIOS call was available delay the program or the program could hook the timer interrupt vector. The program would then turn the speaker off or start the next tone.

Programs could also turn the output bit on and off manually. Some programs could turn the bit on and off rapidly to play arbitrary sounds. There was even a Windows driver to play sound through the PC speaker, but it disabled interrupts, causing the clock, keyboard, mouse, and network to stop while the sound was playing.
