Seeing as how doubtful it is that the House Members could implement this change themselves, it would need to be performed by us geeks. Geeks of the world Unite! As long as none of us aids them, it simply won't get done.
Well I for one hope the rovers survive, Cornell would certainly be sad if either of them dies. As for the dust storms, there have been previous dust storms which have actually cleared off the solar panels which then allowed the rovers to produce more power. So if Spirit survives, it might be better for it.
Thats cool, last winter I spent some time making his wii systems for myself. I was certainly cool. i also did a couple modifications. This technology certainly has a lot of potential to make it so everyone with a wii can have a VR system. What was it that the carnegie mellon professor made, a $500 VR system? Well its now like $300.
but as long as you are not switching rapidly this shouldnt hurt the lifetime of the card as much. The main issue is the powerup/down of laptops and desktops. If they are left on for the most part they should be alright.
Well this NVIDIA issue has been out for a while and its a major disappointment especially since I bought a 9600gt like 2 months ago which will suffer the same fate. However, this issue is agravated by temperature changes in the graphics card. So this is agravated in laptops which are cycled on and off frequently. Seeing as I leave my desktop on most of the time and that I use the graphics card for long sessions but also do not have heavy, frequent loads I expect this to be a non-issue with my setup. I got the card to do CUDA while waiting for the next generation of NVIDIA cards to come out.
So yeah, this should not be a huge issue if you are not temperature cycling the card like mad. Its much more important on a laptop for that reason.
Well I am volunteering at DPS 2008 at Cornell University this weekend and it certainly has been awesome. I am not aware of a discussion of this topic (sounds like this is something new anyway). I know that Neptune's dark spots do have methane clouds that form around it because of condensation from air moving upwards rapidly.
I wonder if these cyclones have anything to do with the hex nut at the north pole of saturn.
Well i mean since we know about this there is probably more under the cover. Not to mention, think of all the NSA spying over our own communications that we do not know about and probably no one will whistleblow.
i would think that some sort of mandate would be put out forcing any new networks that are put down to be IPv6. I mean its not like we do not see this coming.
Maybe people have the mentality of Moore's law that electronic will be cheaper in the future so we might as well keep putting it off. But heck, those IPv4 networks will just upgrade themselves.
Makes me think of Superman Returns where Loise is thrown all around the cabin and yet she walks out perfectly aright without so much as a bruise.
As for whether interference could cause those problems - i would expect that all important components would be shielded and the control system of the plane to be not wirelessly dependent.
If interference was actually the cause it makes me think that some sort of system should be put in and turned on for normal flying which would override "commands" that would create such a severe acceleration. Of couse that would be pilot overrideable for landing as such, but it would prevent some sort of accidental stray signal from causing everyone to fly out of their seat.
thats true, vista ultimate cannot support dual boot which is annoying as hell. ive got ultimate x64 which i have had to modify so many settings on but all i really want is the ability to run slackware on it as well.
I still do not see why they are cutting off XP. If their Vista is so good than it would speak for itself and people would switch to it. Perhaps once computers have enough power to waste a few extra cycles on vista's ineffiencies it will catch on. i guess i have a problem with microsoft trying to bully people into using their newest software. If they used that time constructively I am sure they could come up with much improved products.
Apple already takes too much of the pie. I mean if such a small portion goes to the artist then you would think they would be able to do it so much cheaper especially considering the volume of their sales.
Even moreso, I don't see why the RIAA would go after people who download music when Apple doesn't give artists much money anyway. Maybe this is exactly what Apple needs to find out - people dont love them.
Seeing as 67 teraflops is going to be the new processing power for this machine, I wonder if a NVIDIA CUDA implementation has been considered. Their Tesla systems are designed for this High Performance Computing, offer a significant amount of processing power and are relatively easy to parallelize code for.
I know that oil companies use these high powered systems to find locations of oil, but I guess that its less likely for weather forcasting since there is less money in it.
However, it would be interesting to see these cards used for modelling hurricanes and determine their expected strength and path of travel more accurately.
I guess another side of it is that you build a device with capability to allow for future software. However, at the rate that people go through phones it does seem kinda pointless.
I agree that most cell's have terrible camera's, i think the best i have seen is 3.2 MP. As for the SD cards. They are a great way to transfer data between all your mobile devices. For example, if you want your pics on an asus eee or palm, or if you want to look at the photos you just took with your camera on a iphone-sized screen.
Well i can understand their concerns over privacy - but having an open, readily accessibly law system is important in any democracy. Also, what about historians 100 years from now trying to reconstruct these records - it would be much more useful if people's role's in society were not just a bunch of initials.
seeing as so many people are addicted to email currently i must ask why should email be even more accessible when the computer is off? I mean don't we have enough problems when it is on with it.
Some people see a blessing with email - it is nice for quick communication but it spells disaster for productivity.
Well these are ok but not great. I would imagine that you guys have some amazing ones but these are just above the level of ordinary complaints. Anyway an interesting topic, can't wait to see more (hopefully really good ones)
well seeing as the article argues that copyrights protect expression - which i agree with, what classification would optimization of code fall into. On a theoretical level there should be one best way to do it for a specific platform.
I dont think it would fully fit the patent classification either.
glad to hear the iss might get another astronaut, maybe now they will do some actual science.
The display looks fine. I guess if you have a problem with a page just use opera, and if it still doesnt display correctly use opera's custom css feature to fix it.
this is the biggest load of bull i have ever heard. In the spirit of web 2.0 companies like this should be fried. I mean seeing as they have not enforced it for so long it makes their claim irrelevant. if they cared so much about it why didnt they do something sooner.
On a more happy note, even if they try to take things over one just makes the pic in the background and a clickable box above it. screw them.
Slashdot Mirror
3000km = 3*10^6 m
This result in each person being 38.46m.

Can't wait to see what new stuff they put into this. I didnt even know it was time for a new release already.

So many of these phone can connect to the inet, but give me a nice sd card and regular headphone jack anyday. That why I keep my palm over an iphone.

GO rockclimbing or sit out on cold nights looking up at the stars. You will burn calories either way.
