That's why we need YelpBack, a site where business owners can write reviews of Yelp reviewers, so other business owners can be on the lookout. Then we can create a site called YelpRightBackAtEm - where the lambasted reviewers can write reviews on the business owners behavior towards them just because they were a Yelp reviewer. Then we can create a site called MetaYelp - where sociologists and psychologists can write analyses of the interactions on Yelp, YelpBack, and YelpRightBackAtEm. Then we sell the 3 new sites to Google for 1.5 billion dollars. Who's with me?
As you can with Windows. And it's quite a bit easier, even if with Windows it's more like going from being a 600 lb man to a 250 lb man (still a bit chunky), while with Linux you would be going from a 200 lb man (not really fat at all) to a rail-thin, barely-alive 98 lb weakling.
You are missing out, I understand Baltimore has free wifi in the inner harbor area.
Yeah, but to take advantage of that you have to actually be in Baltimore. Unless it's a 70Mbit connection with no filters and-- wait, what the hell am I saying - it's Baltimore. Yeah... I'll just stick with a less homicidal location.
How could you be so callous towards the massive loss of penguin life?! On Slashdot, no less!! You must be a Mac or *BSD fanboi. Or a Microsoft shill. Any truly free-thinking individual would obviously recommend somewhere else.
I'd be interested in that rock. I live near a jungle, and often have problems with tigers. Does it come with a guarantee?
Guarantee?! Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your life's sake, you might want to think about buying a quality product from me.
Seen from the front though the rectangle only presents a profile of 100. The maximum profile it will exhibit is 1000, and thats only directly from the side. The sphere, if I'm not mistaken, will always present in the region of 1800.
You are mistaken. 3,694/6 = ~616. Note also that the claim of the GP was specifically in regards to multiple opponents able to move around you a in 3-dimensional battleground. Sure, you could always keep your nose/tail oriented at the most dangerous threat, and when only facing two threats (and assuming perfect piloting) you can reduce your total profile available to your opponents to 1100 (assuming you're opponents are at least bright enough to attack from complementary vectors), which is less than the 1232 that the sphere would present to the two opponents. But as soon as you're dealing with more than three opponents/potential-attack-vectors, you're worse off.
The size is dominated by the transistors, the photo-diode shares the same feature size are the transistors since it's manufactured under the same process.
Moore's law applies.
I have printed out that last post of mine and am chewing on the paper as I type this. Interesting to note, though, is thesetwo articles discussing the upper limits of pixel count due to diffraction. Looks like we're not gonna see a 26 GP camera after all, even with Moore's Law applying.

It's a moral victo-- AACCKKK-*gulp*...ahem, victory.
I don't really understand that kind of analogy - it seems to me like this has about as much to do with Army IT as a faulty/recalled transmission has to do with your local dealership's service department.
Actually, according to moore's law, we just need 20 years (for a factor of 1000)...
That phrase you use. I don't think it means what you think it means. Unless, of course, they start using transistors as sensors - in which case I will gladly eat my words.
This has been done and its going to be "done" many times before.

One at a time, just like everyone else. Unless she has multiple personality disorder - in which case we'll count her as two, but that's just because we love her so.
If you're looking at it purely from the perspective of presenting the smallest profile possible, your best bet would be a needle-shape. Very long, and as thin as possible. However, that runs into other problems, such as maneuverability.
Let's examine that claim a little closer:
Sum of Profile Surface Areas from the each end of each (x/y/z) axis:
10x10x100 Ship (pick your own units) = (1000x4 + 100x2) = 4200
Spherical Ship with Radius of 14 = ((pi x 14^2) x 6) = 3,694
Volume of Ship (kind of a top priority, even if the quantity changes according to the purpose/application of the ship):
Rectangular 10x10x100 Ship = 10,000
Spherical Ship with Radius of 14 (same units) = (4/3 x pi x 14^3) = 11,494
This is leaving alone the fact that the profile for the rectangular ship inreases from the above values when looked at from from any angle besides perpendicular to the plane of each side. Any way you cut it a sphere is the most efficient in terms of the ratio between volume and profile area. In fact, a cube is actually the most efficient of all possible rectangular prisms (hence the genius of Roddenberry with the Borg). Remember a ship (space or sea) is just a container to protect the contents from exposure to the medium, and the most efficient container (leaving aside the shapes of the contained objects) will always be a sphere.
You make a solid point, Mr. Pincus. And what's up with all the hatred for spammers?! I mean, come on, we should totally only be going after the advertisers that use spammers.

"Think of the children" belongs in the past. We should strive to outgrow it rather than let it take over our lives -- and our minds.
