I'm sorry, I can't understand how this can be considered the world's smallest Full HD display when LCD projectors have 1920x1080 LCD panels that are about 1" diagonal. They simply use lenses to enlarge the picture but you can still view the panel directly and see a picture.
True that you can store whatever resolution of holographic data (the diffraction pattern) you want. True that higher resolution leads to higher quality. But you conveniently omit the fact that resolution of 1000x1000 is barely sufficient to get a hologram of two dots. Gigapixel resolution is needed to store holographic equivalent of a thumbnail image in quality that allows one to recognize the content. The rule of thumb is resolution roughly 1000 times higher than respective 2D image for similar quality.
An AC below spoke of Zebra Imaging. I used to work there making holograms and can assure you that you really have no idea what you are talking about. First, you are trying to compare the resolution of a hologram to the resolution of a monitor. In the holography Zebra does, 1024x1024 resolution is accomplished in 0.7mm. You can do the math for a 3ftx2ft hologram as to the amount of data in the full size hologram.
Why still no holographic data storage, which is hmuch easier than holographic display
Holography IS data storage. The reason it is not commercially viable as say media for your pc is because the machines that create these holograms are not anywhere near consumer grade. Also, the physical media is not as durable as most current storage solutions.
Yep, the residents of the state of Florida are now going to have to pay over $300,000 for this guy to not get killed on the street by the family of a person he murdered. I say let him out and let the situation take care of itself.
As for my personal opinion, I would never approve of abortion unless the mothers life were in danger, but unless my sperm are involved it's simply none of my damn business, nor is it the governments.
Is murder fine as long as nobody in your immediate family is killed? Why should your tax money pay to put that guy away? He didn't kill your family...
As soon as the law defines abortion as murder and a fetus as a person, you might have a point. Until then you are simply trying to impose your select moral values on a society by wanting to have the government enforce them for you.
If society were run by an individuals morals, I would be able to kill you if I felt you wronged me in an egregious fashion, because those are my morals.
Laws are not in place to determine moral write and wrong they are there for societal stability.
As far as drugs go, you should be able to do whatever you want to yourself, I agree. However, the selling of drugs should be regulated and taxed just like alcohol and cigarettes. Not only would this greatly reduce drug related crime but it would be a huge boon to our national economy.
As far as abortion goes, your argument is that the government has a duty to protect all of its citizens including unborn children. The problem is that babies are not people. They are indeed humans, at which stage is debatable, but as far as the government is concerned unborn babies are not citizens of this country yet and therefore outside the governments purview. The mothers life takes precedence as she is an actual citizen of this country. Be aware that many times abortions are to save mothers who may not otherwise survive childbirth.
As for my personal opinion, I would never approve of abortion unless the mothers life were in danger, but unless my sperm are involved it's simply none of my damn business, nor is it the governments.
Funny, I've found that to be the exact same thing most hypocritical about Democrats. You can scoop a fetus out because it's your body, but by god if you try to put salt on your food we'll throw you in the fucking slammer.
Actually, I don't think that's hypocritical at all. Democrats want big government. They want the federal government to intervene in all avenues of life, and to adhere to that position must accept the laws the fed makes whether good or bad overall. They also happen to want the federal government to make abortions specifically legal.
Republicans on the other hand, want the government completely out of their lives, which is why it is hypocritical to then want the federal government to interfere with issues they believe are morally correct. You can't have it both ways, it's all or nothing.
BTW, this is why I will never consider myself affiliated with ANY political party. Issues need to be dealt with logically, not ideologically.
The answer to your question: The Berne Convention [wikipedia.org], which affixes copyright on anything written down anywhere. Really. This comment is copywritten by yours truly thanks to that rule and that fun text at the bottom of the page, and as such if I were wealthy and a complete jerk I could sue someone for infringement if someone decided to plagiarize me.
As is noted, this was posted on facebook for all the world to see. If it were truly a threat it would either be in a much more personal venue or you would likely be able to see a pattern of other such public statements.
FTA you linked: "Detailed Horrific Slay Plot on Web Diary"
I believe a detailed description of how someone was going to horrifically slay a person/persons is a slight bit different from an ad-hoc remark venting frustration.
Here's the main problem, yours and the university in question:
People are so afraid of their own damn shadows that they refuse to apply critical thinking to even the most simple of circumstances.
Seriously, try actually processing information before reacting with reckless abandon.
Even small statements made online are not devoid of context. If there is a rash of this behavior and a reoccurring pattern of such statements then yes, they should be taken seriously. However, if a student who has no history of violence or even anti-social behavior* makes an off-the-cuff statement such as this it should be taken in the appropriate context of an upset person venting frustration.

This is my favorite thing you've said. I don't mean to belittle an entire swath of people who have the same career as you, just people like you who think 'Web Developer' is some how an elevated position in the realm of programming. You are not a Software Engineer nor a Computer Scientist, and based on the way you talk about the work you do you are not even really a programmer. Don't get me wrong, there are many actual programmers that work on web related projects, but you are a scripter at best.
Seriously, if you had even the slightest idea of the problems faced by real software folk, you would realize that your arrogance and self righteous attitude are completely unfounded.
before I sue you for copyright infringement because you copied what I said without using 'quote' tags.
So you ONLY program for work now. You NEVER program a small project on your own time, for yourself. Then I would say you have lost the passion. Sure, we can all brag about other stuff we have to do in our lives, if you think that makes you special you are a moron. But somehow I still find time to program, even now.
Well, you assume that you can't be passionate about the programming you do at work. I love my job and I give it 100% of myself for 40hrs a week, and I am very productive in those 40hrs, but when I go home I just want to relax and let something different happen so that I may have a new experience.
That's fine that after 10-15 years your craft is no longer your highest interest or priority
I guess you missed this part of my post:
Don't get me wrong, I still have a great passion for programming
You can call it balance, call it experience, and it probably is, but however you parse it, if your productive output is less than that of someone else, you can't fault an employer for choosing someone else, especially someone else at half your salary.
Who said anything about productive output. You think a coder is more productive if he also programs in his spare time. First, my productive output is as good or better than my other co-workers. (I'm lucky to work with some really great programmers)
Second, I would argue that someone who has many outside coding projects may actually be less productive.
The truth is I have a few outside projects every now and again, but for the most part, I intentionally try to stay away from them so that other things can come into my life. If you are one of those people that spends all of his free time coding, I urge you, take a break. You don't have to do any specific thing, just leave some time open for life to happen.
Otherwise you might as well say that Ferrari should only hire race drivers who have no real interest in driving or airlines should only hire pilots who have no interest in flying outside of sitting in a 737 pilot seat monitoring systems for 3 hours.
I don't suppose you've met very many 737 pilots have you? Flying a 737 or other large aircraft is like driving a bus in the sky. For most, at least of the 10 or so I know personally, flying may have once been a great passion but it has been replaced as something they do as a job.
As far as the article is concerned, I am a programmer, a damn good and distinguished one as a matter of fact, but my experience has taught me that in order to lead a healthy and productive life, there needs to be balance. Which for me, means leaving my work at work, and enjoying other interests in my off time. Don't get me wrong, I still have a great passion for programming, but like I said, I need balance. I would also wager that the majority of programmers who do a lot of coding in their spare time are fairly young in the craft. Once you get about 10-15 years experience of busting your ass day in and day out as a programmer, most will begin to find out that need other things in their life outside of programming.
Then again, I've met quite a few other programmers that really just had nothing better to do with their spare time.
Actually, after reading many pages of this poem, I can say that it is better than most poetry I have read.
Here are a few gems I've seen: I'm more than you think and less of what you all know. You'd be surprised.; Contains coarse language and nudity. Viewer discretion is advised EVERYTHING hinges on your LOVE for God and your love for others.; i just want to go home and listen to the jonas brothers
and my favorite so far: A stiff neck and a sore butt an awkward day does make...; i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
I heard that the FBI kept on relying on parts of the (un)Patriot(ic) Act long after the Supreme Court overturned those same parts of it. Business as usual, carry on.
I heard that you actually eat babies, but then again, neither one of us has a citation.
