of this new software is that it seems to be fairly automated from the start. Maps all around the world are created using aerial photography, and all the DEM's (digital elevation models) usually represented by contour lines were made by people digitising by hand from stereo aerial photography. This method has created a 3D model of a whole city, in 6 days, I reckon mainly using automatic methods of image matching and DEM creation. There are aerial laser scanners which do the same thing, but are very expensive. I can't look at the final product now, I reckon it got/.'ed into the ground, but the next 'clever' thing to do once you have a big ol' DEM is to make an algorithm that squares up the buildings! I wonder if we can digitise all the old film photography which covers a majority of the world, and image matching from that, can google automate the task of creating a DEM of the entire world to accuracies of less than 1m ? That would be cool.
is such a geek term for something, I feel ashamed recommending it to 'normal' folks. "Hey guys, come and look at the new Mozilla Firefox 3 RC2, its got an AWESOME BAR!!!"
can't you just drag and drop the UI around? The first thing I do is add a 'open new tab' button to the right of home. I really like the new address box search function.
Well I use it all the time, I even use OOo portable at uni, rather than use microsoft word! It is a matter of choice, I like OOo better, 'cause I have used it more, if you and your staff and everyone you know used it all the time, they would like it better than word too. The best thing about it is taht it's free, funnily enough this fact makes it hard for some people to see the value in it too!
i got ati to give a portion at the top left of my screen to the tv, but when I play movies fullscreen, they go fullscreen on the tv, taking up the top left of my monitor, leaving the rest black. I don't know how to split them up into separate screens like the above nvidia post. If I use the real drivers, fglrx or whatever, iget a full white screen after gnome boots too! but open ati drivers do just fine.
I use firefox portable at uni, as I am unable to install software, portable apps is a great way to stick with OOo and firefox and filezilla and notepad++. But it is unlikely that Firefox will release a portable version of firefox 3 on release day. Debian/Ubuntu releases are a bit behindtoo, so unless Ubuntu manages to stay in time (which I doubt) and the Australian mirror stays in time with official Ubuntu (even less likely) then i doubt I will update to firefox 3 at home either. But shit, i'll download a copy for windows anyway! Why the hell not!
I distrust anything that contains the words 'nanometric matrix of palladium and zyrcon' it sounds very low budget sci-fi to me. Why not a defribulating constant vortex of endoplasmic singularities? eh?
I get that crashing on some flash pages, like bloons www.ninjakiwi.com/bloons only sometimes, other times it works fine. I personally think ff3 is faster, nicer and better, although it is only incrementally so from a 'looks pretty' view point!
About that sig, are you allowed to do that? Is Google breaking the law by possibly caching this comment? is slashdot breaking the law by archiving it? If so thats fantastic, I want to use that as my sig too? is your sig Copyrighted?
I think that alex zarkoff is the worst for next page, to find out what I mean go to page 2...
Oh and I love that nobody RsTFA (and I hope that actually DOES stand for reads the fucking article, and not something sophisticated)
I installed a couple of days ago, and everything worked out of the box! samsung printer, belkin wireless card, installed nvidia drivers with no worries, defaulted to 1680x1050 resolution, everything was great. But... the belkin (rt73) drivers seem to be buggy and make the comp slow down really bad, crawl... so I installed the good old serial monkey drivers and everything is good now!
Ubuntu is great, they take bleeding edge debian software and bang it together so it doesn't hurt too much, my only problems are sound stopping inexplicably (ctrl alt backspace fixes this) and strangely nvidia drivers wont let me set the right refresh rate for my monitor when I enable tv-out, which means I am swapping between 2 xorg.conf's to watch movies on the telly or run smooth lcd monitor.
I am doing assignments though, running matlab, open office, gimp, firefox 3 and everything very nicely! Everyone should try it, and if you have any doubts or fears use http://wubi-installer.org/ to install from WITHIN windows!
I used to use demonoid a lot, now I use almost exclusively tpb. Demonoid was great, and although its a bit empty now, it will soon be great again! If anyone wants membership contact me at the not very hard riddle of an gmail address "chronograph(a calendar application)(at)gmail(dot)com" where (a calendar application)=um... you get the picture.
I'd make my bloody satellite go into the right orbit, its ridiculous to be able to patent a movement in space for fuck sake its mathematical equations!
Imagine if pythagoras had patented the old x^2=sqrt(y^2 + z^2) we would all be squarely fucked!
So maybe I will patent driving to the shop to buy milk and you can all either pay me for the license to drive to the shop for milk or download all your drives to the shop for milk from pirate bay.... its ridiculous...
I say just perform the maneuver and let the judge tell Boeing its ridiculous.
My 0.02 paypal is good for a buyer, bad for a seller. It makes the transaction very quick and painless, I have purchased things quite consistently off ebay, and I prefer dank deposit as I have complete control. But Paypal is instant, it takes around 3 clicks and a password rather than around 12 clicks, a username and password and security and 3 or 4 copy and pastes for bank deposit.
I agree with others above that the fees for paypal are a bit rich, since you pay a percentage to ebay already, then if you sell something small, less than $100 or so they charge you a dollar to withdraw your money! It all adds up.
The other good time for paypal is for foreign transactions where it costs a LOT to do a bank transfer to overseas and you need much information, paypal is very easy (although they rip you off on exchange rates also...)
I think it is definitely wrong to make Paypal the ONLY way to pay and doubt it will stick.
hey I just had to try it, and you're right its pretty damn funny! especially the "Gurlagurlagurla..zweee." but. The robotic overlord sounds rather bored of his job. A bit more like a robotic depressed sociopath.

does it play and record digital tv from a usb dvb card?
wine 1.0 is (almost) here! (well I guess so is DNF, but wtf is GNU Hurd?)
Oh you're welcome!
I guess I'll go install it. I hope I don't have any gerbils in my trousers.
I guess I'll go install it. I hope I don't have any Hilary Clinton memorabilia lying around still.
I guess I'll go install it. I hope I don't have any trouble
he heheeh he he uh.... hm....

As I post, some dude in Europe is the smartest in the world, he used IE on XP! So not all stupid people are dumb!
who said anything about tachyons? you can just use a mesiophillic-combobulatringistic-llambda-reactor with bells on
