Works fine on my system in 10.04/anecdote My issue is them futzing with automounting my internal hard drives. In several previous versions it worked perfectly. It doesn't anymore. Screwing around with fstab for basic functions isn't really acceptable.
I need the opposite in fact. If I'm leaning in towards the screen, it's because I CAN'T see the video/text well enough. Making it smaller is defeating the purpose. I lean back when I can see it fine. Blowing it up is pointless. If I lean in, make it bigger. If I lean back, leave it be.
Have to agree with this. I have no problem learning new vocab words. But they basically just throw the entire dictionary at you and expect you to memorize it. Not to mention the test is adaptive now to essentially bury you into a hole. When you get an answer wrong, it consistently gives you more problems of the same style. I usually do really well on standardized tests but the english sections with long passages tend to throw a wrench in the gears for me. I can get them right but it takes me way longer than other people. So with the time frame they give you I'll never finish since it, without fail, constantly gives me those questions. Aside from PChem, one of the worst scholastic experiences I've had.
Anyone know what hardware they were using in the demo video (tom's hardware) to get the 12fps and 91fps comparatively. Is this the kind of performance increase the average user will see or just people with high end systems?
Jellyfish are not the only sea creatures that can be exploited to generate energy: algae could power floating devices on the ocean wave. Adrian Fisher and Paolo Bombelli at the University of Cambridge and colleagues are developing biophotovoltaic devices based on algae and photosynthetic bacteria.
The team deposit a film of photosynthetic cells on top of a transparent conductive electrode, which faces a carbon cathode seeded with platinum nanoparticles.
When exposed to sunlight the algal cells begin splitting water and producing oxygen, electrons and protons. These would usually be used by the algae to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds, but instead the device siphons them off to generate electricity, says Fisher. "The algal cells produce electrons very generously," he says.
The team has so far used a proof-of-concept device to power a clock. The sunlight-to-electricity efficiency of the device is only 0.1 per cent at present, compared with between 10 and 15 per cent for existing dye-sensitised solar cells, however. Screening different algae species to find the most productive electron donor might be one way to produce more juice.
Eventually, algal cells could float out at sea, generating electricity from sunlight and seawater. "We might end up with less efficiency than [conventional] photovoltaics, but we think we can win on cost, and we don't require space where people want to live," says Bombelli.
I RTFA. That's what I meant. They only list the algal cells, not the jellyfish protein ones. The jellyfish are only referred to in order to link these two concepts together. The 0.1 percent efficiency is for the algal cells, not the jellyfish protein ones.
Where are you people getting your stuff from? I've never had any electronics/computers that had stickers that took more than 5 seconds to yank off and rub the residue completely off with my thumb. A lot of these suggestions on this page will dissolve the paint on the surface of the components...
The PS3 will do a lot of this but not all formats. It's a bit picky with some things. A small form factor pc connected to the tv and a lan would probably work best. I believe several other people have suggested exact models. If you have a newer tv, check if it has a ethernet jack or usb jack built in. I have the samsung series 8 led tv and it natively supports more formats than the PS3 but doesn't do DTS sound and can't fast forward or rewind mkv files (which is my only hurdle at the moment to ditching my secondary computer that I'm using as a media server so I'll also be watching this thread closely).
What's next? Warnings on bags to not put them over your head and on buckets about not putting small children upside-down in them with water?
You joke but take a look at a box of garbage bags or the side of a bucket of dishwasher soap or something similar. The warnings are already there. Kind of miss Darwin, the future would be far less idiocratic.
I have the Archos 5. Archos' tablets had a lot of potential but the firmware is so damn buggy and they seem to not really give a crap. (they're french, what are ya gonna do?...) I hope the new hardware that comes out from samsung and other competitors starts addressing some of the issues these early versions had. Anything bigger than my archos is pretty much not going to cut it for me though (mainly use it for my car stereo and anything bigger won't fit in the stereo cubby hole).

If tests in people haven't begun how can people rate the discomfort level?
Playing devil's advocate -- it's pretty trivial to make a Silverlight interface to pan and zoom around a giant image like this. It's less trivial to do the same thing with, say, JavaScript or Flash.

Short answer? Civil vs criminal laws.
As the son and grandson of American hunters this is false. It is perfectly legal.

They already do. I buy several things labeled that way. Mainly bread, oddly enough.

They are sold commercially as well. We had them at a store I used to work at.

It's apple. I'm sure they'll have a way to lock down everything but the text book files.
What's the output on these new cells? The article mentioned the efficiency of algae cells but not these bioluminescent cells.
I think the public media attacks string theory on the grounds of its impossibility to test because they don't know any better.
If that were true, why wouldn't they do the same to religion or existence of a god?

The post office offers discounts for second class mail, what AT&T is offering is to charge extra for "first class" content.
If you actually believe this, I have a tiger repellent rock I'd like to sell you...
I dunno, did they factor in drinkers that were killed by non-drinkers?
I think what you meant to say is, "Hi, my name is sco08y and I'm an alcoholic."
I do agree with you though.
I mean, "Hi, my name is Taibhsear and I'm an alcoholic."

The bunkers are great for these kinds of facilities; cool, easy to control the climate/moisture etc and above all untouchable from the outside.
"exersize?" Really? Do you guys actually read what you type before posting?
