Base 12 is a much better system then decimal - divisible by 3 an 2 and 4 and 6. Most important - 3 - 3 is the most optimal base (closest integer to "e"). I think we should get rid of the metric system and go for 12. Or 16.
For a long time I feel that numbers 128, 256, 512 are more "natural" for me then 500, 1000..
I will consider my 32(20) year to be an anniversary, not 30(1E)..;-)
.. Nice to know somebody around with a bit of sense.
I was lucky to have parents who never intruded - dad, sometimes wanted to "help" me clean my room, but mom will always escort him out. I turned out to be the least problematic kid among my friends - and the most mature one. Same for my brother and sister. And my friends where always dropping by to talk to my mom and dad to ask for advice.
My son is just born, but that how I will raise him
Now for the previous poster - go and try to earn reputation - so that your kid and his friends will come to you and ask for advice - and follow it, without pressure, without EVER sneaking into their affairs. My bet they will obey you in public, and either drug themself silly or/and grew up a pricky dick, just like yourself.
Twice 1024x768, on a side is 2048x1536, not 1536x1024, Archimede. Quite a bit bigger, and much more viewable (1600x1200 on anything less then 20" is far too small) then your Toshiba.
And, honestly, 99% of people with cash to buy it won't give a flying fuck for your ShmeForce69 speed.
And good luck lugging that 19" monitor around through airport security - when you need to work on a meeting somewhere.
WHen such a setup comes down to around 3K I am certainly buying.
..anybody else has little to do with WCOM, the whole market is going to plunge..
Sigh.. Our professor was right - there is no science in investing.. Price goes down when everybody sells.. Up - when everybody buys.. Who cares what is actually going on..
..that how things look is what sells the shit. You may have best architecture that works and sell nothing.
Provide feedback, do not do the impossible, but be grateful that somebody is watching out about how things look and keep the lid on your runaway creative power and does not impose his personal technical preferences on you.
P.S. no, I am not a manager. Would not want to - I will be bogged down with my technical preferences and would not pay attention to the sugar on the top. Which customers like.
..my monitor.. my cell phone.. my brain hurtz and I can't do math.. numbers escape me..
Dude, do not tie you panties in a knot. 400 people around you will need to shove their wi-fi up your ass and wrap you in tin foil for you to absorb all that energy. Not that it is entirely impossible, it's for you to tell, but for most of us - highly unlikely usage pattern.
White leds are just afew yesars old, and are pretty darn expensive. If this RF excitation lamp thing is cheap and reliable as it can be, it will be more effective..
Not that I really want more EMI all around me into my brains. WiFi or what ever..
I didn't like Sirius... for whatever reason I don't remember.
For the reason it was not available at the moment? On all other aspects (program selection, reception quality) Sirius IS (will be) a better deal.
P.S. Reception part due to the fact that they use highly elliptical "Molniya" orbit - meaning you get the transmitting sattellite more directly over your head - less chance to be blocked..
XM is on GS orbit, Sirius is on highly elliptical "Molniya" orbit - that means that for most of the time it will be straight over your head, not under inclination (depending on your lattitude), and will have stronger signal (less atmosphere reflexion/absorbtion..)
That also means that they have much more complicated chipset, as they have to transfer reception between sattelites coming into the active spot.. But that should not worry you - but it caused the launch delays
This point is moot in urban areas, as they have to rely on retransmitters more.. Still, Sirius orbit is better (theoretically)
As far as programming, price and equipment - that may make or break any advantage, and I got no clue..
..that would be a definite yes/no information on the outcome of some high stake event (a really good tip) - so you can place your bet...
Examples would be abound (boxing matches, horse races...)
I meant 45 bit (3x15) - no alpha channel I guess there..;-)..
Projectors a capable of that - it could have been shown in CGA..
SPEC's for a typical projector - try to beat it at home for $5K..
Contrast (sequential) 1350:1 (full white/full black)
ANSI 460:1
Brightness uniformity Within 90% displaying full white screen
Pixels 1280 x 1024 per Red, Green and Blue channels; equivalent to 3.9 million pixels
Digital MicroMirror Device S-XGA DLP Cinema (Black Chip) DMD
Cooling 3 chip liquid cooling system and heat exchanger
Color Processing Bit Depth 45 bit (3X 15-bit resolution)
Number of colors 4.4 trillion
.. and it is 4x15 bit color and > 1000:1 contrast ratio. Also, each pixel is in turn displaying all three colors (like this new X3 CCD chip) - higher perceived resolution then you monitor (where pixels are arranged)
Do not think you can come remotely close to it with your DVD setup..
Some SPEC benchmarks come close to measuring processor speed. Photoshop test measures only one particular type of easily parallelizable operations - applying filters to images. Sorry to burst you bubbly, boy, but you have not got a clue..
Yep. And Oracle will rewrite their servlets to C#

Trouble Ahead for Java

..NOT.
Amount of the code that is already written and commited to production leaves absolutely no chance it would be "dead in 5 years". Marketing or not - commitement already happened. I have a number of systems installed on my computer right now, most of them have heavy Java support, and not a trace of C#. Most of them absolutely have to run on platforms other then Windows. Most of them are in widespread use in large corporations. Already.
There is absolutely no damn way it will just magically dissappear in 5 years. Whatever is your opinion of the language. C# does not bring any sizable advantages (of the order Java had over COBOL and other legacy systems).
And also: elegant QBASIC? Compared to Java? You may have you morning doze of sour grapes, but it seems they were crack cocain laced..
Wrong. With the amount of the code written - Java will at least outlive COBOL. Which is to say - I will be twice dead and reincarnated before is goes away.
It is about transistor count. It is related to speed, as smaller process, that enables high transistor count, also enables higher clock speed.
Interesting part is that at 0.13 Intel's die is bigger then Athlon's at 0.18. Bulk of money is made in the sweet spot - just below maximum performance - and there the margin (production cost) plays a bigger role..
The interesting part of the story will start with the SledgeHammer release - what will Itanium and Yamhill do?

I am confused..
What will be the Intel spin on 64-bit is better then 32? He he..
They need double 1280x1024.. And $3K price point..
Would not it be nice to have a normal sized machine when working outside office..

White LED are recent - just as blue and UV.
Just get us fusion power.

Just think about that!!
Had some fun? ;-)) What happened?
A-something..
Wasn't it done by Super Kamiokande experiment back in 1998? (presence of mass is equivalent to the presense of mixing in current theory)

The Maginot Line is fine. Those Germans won't do anything.
Yep. I think Paris is under German rule now. Is it?
