Grabbed an image from the center(~80mb)
Eye of gnome worked fine for me (came with Ubuntu I believe)
Takes a little while to render the full (zoomed out) view but I'm able to zoom in and move around the image fine

Ah, excellent, that's much better. Where do I sign up?
As an aside, I study at reading university and I cannot stand James Ferryman. While he's excellent at what he does(image analysis & such), I am so so sick of this obsession with terrorism - any potential application is always about how it can help prevent terrorism and crime. Seriously, how much intrusion into our personal lives are we going to take to help prevent the miniscule (comparatively) threat of terrorist attacks.
Not the same temperature, but it is a feedback system, so it wobbles back and forth over a roughly static value.
We're pushing it way over- perhaps it will still be able to recover, we just don't know. I personally would prefer to avoid having to find out if the earth is capable of recovering from our influence.
There's one that I've come across, the excellent OOLite. It's a 3D space shooting/trading game, a somewhat modernised elite, although very true to the original.
Then again, that's not exactly a significant application, but it is one example.
Are you using the network manager for wireless? If so, then I highly recommend switching to WICD. At least, that's the case if you're running gutsy or earlier, I don't know if hardy has improved the situation with wireless yet, and as GP said, I'm not willing to upgrade for a while.
Just so you know, that hasn't actually happened yet, and I hope it's not likely to. That's just a misleading summary(well it is slashdot). We do however take and store the dna and fingerprints of everyone who is arrested regardless of their guilt, which is what's about to start in the US.
would a transcript not be considered a derived work from the recording?
It's not likely to be exactly the same as the original written speech, since changes always occur when you are speaking. And even if it was exactely the same, its not a copy, because you didn't duplicate it.. it's an original piece of work derived from the recording, which happens to be identical to the original written speech (IANAL, this is just interesting to me). I'd like to know of any cases where something like this has actually occurred.
This seemed like the closest thing you could have to a holodeck (kind of like a holodeck in reverse). I think we've got closer to a real holodeck since then. I really recommend trying out a CAVE or alternative competing immersive environment(such as the Trimension ReaCTor), if you get the chance. Its a room you enter where all the walls are back-projected onto either with dual projectors(polarised with polarised glasses) or with alternating scenes(using shutter glasses). So its a full immersion 3D environment you can walk around in and interact with(with the right equipment)
That is over 1 million per computer!
In 2006, the Census Bureau awarded a $595 million contract to Harris Corp. to develop more than 525,000 handheld computers
What?
595,000,000 / 525,000 = ~1000
about $1000 per computer is a bit more reasonable wouldnt you say?
As far as the kiddie porn problem goes, once again we focus too much on solving all problems on the application layer, when we could simply change the jpeg and other protocols to store information in the file about the camera model and where the camera was bought, made, what computer it was originally on and who owned that computer, to help the authorities trace back where the illegal images came from.
So how will my camera know which pictures are illegal and when to put this information in, so I can be traced, and which are perfectly legitimate images that I may not want anyone who sees it to be able to trace it back to me?
oh... I see, you mean, this data will be on every image ever? I see...
And how on earth can that kind of data be kept valid in any kind of open format, there isn't any way for it to be possible to make this data non-editable.
This is the most ridiculous solution to the problem ever proposed.
This seems better than Salasaga at the moment, if you want something similar to flash. At least its an interesting project(project page here). Would be better if you could play with it without all the adverts though.
And I would say...they aren't Christians. There is nothing in the Bible that gives them leeway to do what they did.
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
Deuteronomy Ch. 17:2-5
Nope, no leeway whatsoever. Christianity is the TRUE religion after all, not like those others.
So perhaps we are setting ourselves a goal, to teach computers to understand spoken languages, that we can never achieve as we don't have the means to do this ourselves.
It's been done before in other fields. Look at chess for instance, computers are now superior to the best chess players.
I have no doubt that this success can be duplicated in voice recogition and (eventually) understanding.
Well I went through the order process for the $10 and got to the shipping (to the uk, $13) and stopped and went back and just got the $5 mp3's.. shame, I was quite happy to pay $10(~£5).. but $23(~£12) is no better than buying it in a shop. I am also currently unable to download:|.
the cost of licensing intellectual property for the purposes of commercial use is A LOT more than the cost of procuring the goods for personal listening. that's fine - when someone downloads an album I can't imagine that it's for commercial use - it's almost always going to be for personal listening.

and yet adrifinal has more side effects and is potentially more harmful to the body than modafinil.

which is why we need publicly funded scientific research to be freely available. That will at least help the situation.

and what if he didn't?
"Now the FBI thinks it has identified the culprit" doesn't sound like a certainty to me.
