Maybe I'm wrong but I was always of the understanding that the frequency of a signal was not necessarily related to the power of that signal. I think we're confusing frequency (Hz) with wattage (W). Now in practice it might be that in order to traverse a usable distance these transmitters would have to have a very high power output, but I don't see how we can say that just because it's a large jump we should be scared.
Radio stations are in the MHz range, going from 100 MHz to 2.4 GHz is a 24 fold jump, going from 2.4 GHz to 60 GHz is about the same (25 fold)
Vista Ultimate can be had for much less than $400 if you know where to look. I see full copies of Ultimate going for $150 to $175 on eBay all the time.
Has anyone tried to pair some of these eye tracking softwares with contacts? I know it might be a bit more niche since not all us geeks wear Glasses/Contacts, but if you can get over the touching your eyes part I'm sure "blank" contacts could be made. Would be interesting to have a pair of glasses with small cameras that just tracked the marks on the contacts. I know my current contacts have marks on the outer edge of the contact with the makers name, perhaps this could even be made with some sort of non-visible spectrum reflective material. Then there's the problem of what light wouldn't cause eye damage being shone into the eye at that range.
From what I recall from another article they are planning on releasing the schematics open source. So the thought of other companies getting in on the action is much more probable than you might think.
It's in reference to the line in the movie where Hudson makes fun of the Actress Jenette Goldstein playing the Marine Pvt. Vasquez.
Right, right. Somebody said "alien" she thought they said "illegal alien" and signed up!
When Jenette Goldstein showed up to read for the movie she only knew the title "Aliens" and thought it was a movie about illegal border crossers. She showed up in costume as an illegal border crosser. The line that made it into the movie was an ad-lib that was in reference to this slip-up.
Either paying a whole lot more (than the currently subsized price of the Kindle) or not having the option to buy it at all, since Amazon would have realized up front that developing it wasn't going to be profitable.
For some reason I didn't think that $299.00 was much more than $359.00, but I'm no economist.
Now, if you're including the lifetime service to Sprint then yeah, I can see some bit of a savings, but if they're charging you for the book download in the first place...
Great, we skipped over the shortened form of the trit, and went straight on to quits. Killing the time spent making bad jokes about the shortened trit and keeping our development on pace. Yay!
I have no problem as a parent if another parent goes out an buys any game they desire for their child. I also don't have any problem with a parent getting their child alcohol or cigarettes. As far as I'm concerned it is the responsibility of the parent to determine what is OK for their child. Whether or not people parent "properly" is an argument that no one comes away satisfied from.
But what regulation I would like to see is keeping more hardcore games and movies from being sold to minors. I don't see how this infringes on the rights of a parent, and the protections it provides to minors are the same as those provided for other substances, Tobacco, Firearms, Alcohol, and R rated movies (if the theater wishes to enforce this one).
Again, if a parent wants to go out and buy the latest "blow up everything, kill everyone, and laugh about it" game then it's their choice, but I think that it should be something that is up to the parent, not the retailer.
the Sony 11 inch diagonal OLED TV can result in reduced power consumption of up to 40% per panel square inch compared to conventional 20-inch LCD panels.No backlight is used with the organic materials.
Can we at least try to compare apples with apples. A 20inch is 55% larger than a 11inch tv, so does this even save power?
Note that the power consumption is based per panel square inch. They are comparing apples to apples, but in one case they are averaging out 49 apples versus 196 apples.
Actually some argue that they are called French fries due to the term Frenched. This is the most recent attribution that I had heard of. Yes they were apparently invented in Belgium but the reason they are called French Fries has to do with their being julienned rather than their nation of origin.
As someone that works where computer security is a concern, and user of a few programs that hang upon shut down occasionally, I have to sit there while my computer shuts down to be sure that it actually makes it back to the login screen.
After waiting for this for what seemed like the millionth time I just started locking my PC and walking out the door. I've got the power management set up to turn off the monitor instead of a screen-saver and to sleep after an hour, but shutting down completely is a waste of my time.
I think the big thing to keep in mind with regard to the ten minute number is the "setting up the work environment."
On average I have 7-10 different programs up at any given time with searches populated in several of them. In order to get my three biggest use programs back to the same state would take me at least 2 minutes each. When I close them down I lose that time.
This doesn't argue against suspend or hibernation as faster alternatives, but going cold to full on working is more for me than simply pressing the power button in the morning.
I've worked on Software with DO-178B compliance, that's what the 178B in the Integrity-178B stands for. If EAL verification is based on Documentation and Testing then I'd say that tacking EAL onto something that complies with DO-178B is just a short jump with a price tag tacked on. Moreover, the fact that it runs on the B1B is independent of their trying to be DO-178B compliant. Compliance with 178B is more in line with getting an OS/Software package certified for commercial aviation.
Sounds to me that Green Hills was aiming at this from the get go and is just picking up the EAL-6+ rating as another stamp on the box, and another advertising point. Not that I'm against software reuse, but once you know what goes into designing Aviation software, this sounds a lot less impressive.
Whereas I agree that some sort of relevance in advertising would be nice, as to how up to date their latest improvements are, I do think it's a good selling point to state that you can handle previous viruses as well. If an anti-virus software can't handle a virus from 10 years ago then it's like a parent that doesn't get their kid vaccinated for measles because they haven't had a big outbreak recently. It just takes one instance of the virus to totally wreck your day.
What does the existence of Dinosaurs have to do with Evolution or Intelligent Design? I don't know anyone that believes in Intelligent Design that also disbelieves the existence of Dinosaurs.
I was wondering how this would compare to professional drag racing. I knew some drag racers were seeing physical side effects. I guess at 2.5 G's this isn't quite the acceleration that we're used to seeing in the NHRA.
A Top Fuel dragster accelerates from 0 to 100 mph (160 km/h) in as little as.8 seconds, subjecting the driver to a force about 5.7 times their weight.

Yeah, but you can call in sick both of those days.

Great, you appear to have slashdotted that fine article. I keep on getting a DNS error when I try to go read it.
You know you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Just my two cents.
That may work for vi-vs-emacs and Apple-vs-MS wars on /.
It is just clarity to see evil in someone who will bring suffering to millions of people.
So, at the end there, you're talking about Apple-vs-MS?

I probably should have used the word "instance" rather than time to denote that it wasn't a deadline issue, but a certain occasion.
Or perhaps those countries are in a rather more, er, delicate state because of the effect their faith has had on their country.
When it is acceptable for a man to kill a female family member for being raped, that's turmoil.
And Sharia Law permits this.
Sharia Law is Muslim law for those at home.
Also,
Oh, wait, you're just a typical American bigot.
I don't see where the GP shows intolerance at all. This word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Off topic I know, but something interestingly different between the quotes from one scripture to the other.
The Muslim scripture has blanket instructions to kill all of a select set of groups, from now 'till the end of time.
The Judeo-Christian scripture has specific instructions against a given people for a specific time.
In all reality reading any scripture independent of context is not the best way to compare religions.
