    you cannot hear yourself if you make any noise

    I do something similar for myself, "If I can hear it, it's loud." Although some times there are loud sounds and I still don't hear them. I havn't heard cicadas in about 10 years. I nearly forgot they existed. About a week ago my (hearing) girlfriend mentioned the cicadas were "really loud", my...

    Text Messenger IR Walkee Talkees - Databank Organizer

    It's a toy. if you can't sign or speak it could be useful, I guess. The e-bay page says something like "why pay $2000 for a face to face communication device..." That brings up an interesting point, why are such systems, that are not toys, so expensive?

    Star Trek Hidden Frontier - Subtitles

    Horray! Thanks for the announcement, I've been looking forward to this for a while. I enjoyed watching the first Intrepid episode, the English subtitles were nice overall but I'd like mention two small problems I found. 1) When watching "Heavy Lies the Crown" apostrophes do not always...

    System from home

    Does it have to be a USB Voip phone? how about a USB headset and a soft phone? Both Vonage and Packet8 offer a softphone, you might want to look into that, but it will cost $25 a month. A skypeIn number would be cheaper.

    watch DVDs on laptop with captions?

    I don't know about windows Vista, but for XP I stand by my answer. The link you provide refers to TV programs recorded with windows media center, The original poster only asked about playing closed captioned DVDs. Windows media center may very well include a CC decoder, I've never used it...

    Please Help A college kid out :)

    My invention is a seat for movie theaters that would have small monitor in the back of the seats. The monitor would then provide subtitles for the deaf patrons sitting behind it. The monitor would have a touch screen for selecting between languages and such things as adjusting font size. The...

    no tdd at the second location

    you should talk to your employer AND your state's voc rehab office and find out about getting a portable TTY, There's no reason you can't take one with you. What do you mean by AOL's relay system?

    Dangers of CI !

    When he was signing he was hitting people and knocking things over, then he saw an ad for a CI, I thought the video would go a different direciton, I thought he'd start speaking and still cause trouble ( for example, he'd say hello to some one in the park and scare all the birds away, or shatter...

    Dangers of CI !

    I thought of that too, the dr pepper can is definitely aluminum, but I think the "spike" was just a big nail. probably a galvanized nail, which is why it was a zinc color and not a darker iron color.

    Brain Transplant

    I think this question was asked for the purpose of getting attention. In the hope that I'm wrong, here's my reply: It's been tried before, with a monkey. BBC News | HEALTH | Frankenstein fears after head transplant It didn't really work.

    What is wrong with some people?

    When a hearing person shouts something like "are you deaf!?" They never expect you to actually be deaf or hoh. The best response is something like "yes I am, thank you for asking." They say "are you deaf" but they're thinking "why are you a jerk!?" As other people have mentioned in this...

    Norton Ghost

    So..... you made a ghost image of your hard drive... and you used your computer's installation disk to re-install the OS? (if I'm guessing correctly, you're mounting the ghost image and trying to find your OE files and stuff?) That's not really the way Ghost is intended to work, if you...

    You're not going to believe this . . .

    You can find love on the internet. I did. I agree with what others have said: Don't limit yourself to deaf/hoh women. or deaf only dating sites. trust your gut/instinct. You'll be wrong some times but you'll learn something. I'd like to add: Figure out what you want. If you think...

    wireless router= secure?!

    I agree with you, but the vast majority of people don't even know what a MAC address is, let alone how to spoof one to get into an access point. A hacker can find the SSID even if it's not broadcast, and if a good key isn't used then the encryption can be easily cracked. No matter what we...
