We just set up our AG node this past month... we do echo cancelation with a nice fancy box from Gentner that costs several thousands of dollars;). The really annoying thing is that you program it over an RS-232 port-- from windows. The rest of the AG software is linux, though... vic and rat (for video and audio) respectively. It's fun stuff... check out accessgrid.org
Skinner: Now, this morning we're going to be mapping a small square of sky that's thought to be empty. It's my hope that it's not.
Bart: So what am I supposed to do exactly?
Skinner: Just write down my findings as I give them to you. Six hours nineteen minutes right ascension, fourteen degrees twenty-two minutes declination: no sighting.
Bart: [bored] Mm hmm.
Skinner: Six hours nineteen minutes right ascension, fourteen degrees twenty-three minutes declination: no sighting.
Bart: Mm hmm.
[later]
Skinner: Six hours nineteen minutes right ascension, fourteen degrees fifty-eight minutes declination: no sighting. Did you get that one Bart?
I thought the heisenberg equation gave uncertainty as err(momentum * position) > CONSTANT, where the constant was some defined number (which I don't know offhand). So does this define the CONSTANT more accurately, or did Heisenberg just say the constant exists, and now we have a figure? The article was a little light on details...
Tom Clancy (in the Cardinal of the Kremlin) suggested that the US team (well, said they were) was using adaptive optics, or, as one of the characters jokingly called it, the "rubber mirror" for SDI research. Does anyone know if this was real science at the time, or if it was Clancy talking out of his ass (which has happened... the electronic dowsing rod he put in Rainbox 6 was B.S.)
Honestly... I wouldn't like this either, but remember when DSL companies (and cable) were dropping left and right? Bandwidth costs money, and it makes sense to charge people for usage, not just connection. In theory, it allows lower costs for light users, though I know that they'll only boost rates with this plan. But think about what the equivelent to a standard cable connection (100 - 200 K/sec) would cost if it was bought as a T1 line, and ask how their business plan would look if they provided it for $39.95/month
My only question is, he does point out (as the pictures show), that it's rather unbalanced (crowded)... I wonder how heavy the whole unit is... is it a pain to carry, or is it easy?

I've never played GTA3, but in the original, there was a mission where you had to kill 8 federales (in was on the san andreas board0 in... maybe 8 minutes, I don't recall them time. You couldn't just blow up random cops, you had to seek and destroy these cops on foot... seems pretty "goal" oriented to me..
My copy of SMCT (Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks) gives the fist method as a way to measure elevation... they're talking about what part of the sky to search for when looking for airplanes. It is rather easy for a non-astronomer who can't visuallize degrees to do in the field, and it makes a quick verification if you have no equipment handy.
Interestingly, according to the article, it's exactly five years after Hale-Bopp was in the sky... any other screwball cults out there? (no, pointing a $c13n+0l0gy (I hope I don't get sued) story doesn't count)
Let's have some moderation (not the select a category, but some moderate views) here. I agree that <i> and <b> can enhance a posting. What the other poster was commenting on, and which I agree (since I often connect via modem, often 28.8, sometimes even 14.4)is that excessive HTML is useless. It doesn't add to the content, it just gives it a little extra pizzaz, which is not always good.
I dunno... I like to keep my CPU relatively stations... seems even 1 RPM could lead to some rather twisted pins, unless the case was spinning too... and wouldn't any high velocity rotation be bad for the drives? Plus, who would want a spinning computer?;)
The original Pentiums has the ability to do this... it was involked by the FPU, and basically took an integer and returned a float that was offset by approximetly 1E-10, IIRC;)

My first college physics professor used to say that Maxwell's 4 equations do a nice job of summing up the Universe...
Jesus, what are you, a 12 year old girl
To the best of my knowledge, Jesus was not a 12 year old girl.

Bart: Hell no.
Skinner: Good.
Nope ;). I'm not quite sure what i was thinking when I wrote that... tired, I suppose...

I hate to pick on people for spelling... but when you capitalize it...
VAIN. VAIN. Like the PAIN of publically embarassing yourself
A decent WAP which can handle 64 users at the same time and cover the entire cabin gives you a lan at ~$5-700 installed.
;)
<NITPICK>
That's quite a price difference... where can I get the wireless network for $5? I assume you mean $500-700

73267,2746 for me. A real compuserve user had it _way_ before they had internet connectivity: when the numbers were comma delimited, not periods.

"Resident Geeks" didn't have web pages on AOL!
Nah, it'll probably make easy to download web pages more graphics heavy, if I know today's web designers...

Needless to say... the real CmdrTaco has UserID CowboyNeal, not #564483
No, no, no... that's not true.
You were supposed to say as follows (since you obviously can't divide $ / $
$/$ = 2
$ = 2$
0 = $
i.e., they're free!
