Using Saran Wrap As A Polarizing Filter
cdneng2 writes "Here's a University of Toronto research paper on how
to use ordinary Saran Wrap as a polarized filter to turn your
laptop into a stereoscope. From the paper, cellophane
(costing mere pennies) proved to be a better half-waveplate than
a commercial half-waveplate (costing hundreds of dollars for the
required size) for rotating the polarization of white light.
The same paper is cited in www.mygeekdom.com."
Cellophane wonders may never cease.
Yes, but WHAT does this have to do with STORM TROOPERS?!
Story duplicates you!
Had to reboot your ms-windows computer yet today???
.... No, I did not patch it for W32-Blaster.Worm because its behind a firewall and will not get hit. I should probably install the latest patches but why mess up the uptime.... I have to move it in a few days to a new room, so I'l have to turn it off then, guess I'l patch it then.... Amazing how someone who knows the OS can configure it and let it run nearly forever.... I guess you linux zealots just don't know how to configure a windows box correctly. Its a shame. Its fast, its stable and it works easily, you just have to take some time off the MS bashing to learn what the Fsck you are talking about
;-)
Why, No, I haven't. My laptop got turned on this morning and I have not had to reboot since then, but my 2k server has been chugging along happily for about 6 months now (not a single restart)
Have a nice day!!
