I've thought about it more but I'm still not quite at a working solution yet. Here's what i have so far: You could use SkypeOut and make a conference call. First you'd call the relay, then you'd call the person you want to talk to. That should take care of the ringback / flash button...

You need the person you are calling to be able to hear you, (it dosn't matter if the operator can hear you but that's a bit beside the point) There is no way for the operator to bridge the aim voice chat with a telephone call. That is the number one reason why it won't work. Though now...

The benifit of the 2-line vco call is that the person your calling hears your own voice, and the conversation is full duplex. (no GAs and SKs) With your idea there is no way for the person you are calling to hear you. Hamilton relay for example, will allow you to make a VRS relay call with...

on a sony vaio it's in the top row, third from the right, says "prt sc" If it's actually not included on your laptop keyboard (who knows, ThinkPads dont have "windows logo" keys. you can always remap a key you're not using to be your print screen key.

I use purrint. when you hit the print screen key it automaticly saves the screenshot for you. bCheck's apps - It is your mama's software

that's a good question. I use 2-line vco at work but I can make a conference call before the last party picks up. However on my home phone I have to wait for the other line to pick up, I can hear well enough to hear the ringing, and I never thought much about it. What we need is a...

It has to be face to face, it uses infa-red light to communicate between the devices. This requires "line of sight" , like your TV remote.

buy a closed caption decoder and hook it up to your DVD recorder. they won't be "closed" captions any more but I doubt you'd ever want to turn the captions off :) --- I should specify, hook it up to the input of the DVD recorder.

1) don't stress out about it. 2) if you can speak, use a service like captel or 2-line VCO. 3) automated phone mazes suck, no matter what you do. If you know the extension ahead of time let the operator know before you dial. 4) Your special needs councilor might actually have a TTY, or...

I like your idea, but the people that stare when we sign are the same people that ask us if we can read braille. They're probably not interested in learning.

I started loosing my hearing at about 13, by the time I was 18, I had lost all use of my left ear. In my right ear, it's been much slower but follows a same pattern on the audiogram. I'm 27 now and still have enough hearing in my right ear to "fake it" in most situations, but since my hearing...

Your idea for a second drive is a good one, but if he boots into win2k, he might not be able to access the data , NTFS permissions are funny that way. What he should do is boot from a live Linux CD, mount the hard drive, and then copy everything in the "documents and settings" folder to either...

I hope you're right but I'm not going to hold my breath. The rear projection caption technology you're talking about has been around for a long time. Theaters that have it only have one screen with it and only show one captioned movie per week. I don't want to drive an hour or more to...

That's only true if you have digital phone over traditional copper phone lines. if you get time warner cable digital phone you get a modem, and in addition to bridging the coax cable to phone, it aparently gives an analog phone signal for your home phones,... no idea if it's voip or not, it...

I don't think it's VoIP, most digital phone services from cable TV companies is actually "phone over cable" they just use a spectrum of the cable coming into your house to serve you regular digital phone, similar to a ISDN voice line. I went to the time warner website and didn't see any mention...

There just isn't enough bandwidth with a sidekick, plus there's no way to cram a good camera into one. Plus, how will you sign while you're holding it?! :) One Improvement I'd like to see with video phones is connectabilty. Take a look at some of the message boards on Alldeaf and just see how...

Yeah it's a full duplex form of VCO, If CapTel isn't available where you are you can get the next best thing with a computer and a non-dialup internet connection. Log into the online relay of your favorite relay company, ask for a 2-line VCO call, and give the relay Operator your number, they...

I just remembered, for hearing people there are "walkie-talkies" and there are 2-way radios. most devices for children are walkie-talkies, they're on a different frequency and have very short range, they're toys. I remember when I was 8 years old (I was hearing back then) I had a set of...

The head mounted display that i'm thinking of would fit on your face like a pair of goggles or glasses. no hat or helmet or anything. the best part about my idea is that it could work in ANY theater and almost any movie. If I want to see a movie in a theater, I have to drive almost an...

Here's an idea that's been brewing in my head for a long time and it's been brought up on this message board in the past and I even saw a news report once about a comparable technology, but until I see something I can actually buy It doesn't exist to me. Here's the idea: in a nutshell...
