THe big problem with most communications isn't the distance these days.. it's the fact that there's lots of stuff in the way. We've had commercial hand-held space communications for at least 10 years..
Wakey wakey, there is no fair and balanced news in this country... all the people that were are out of business, dead of old age, or too smart to even attempt it.
Bravo, I would totally agree. People that succeed while at the same time focusing on the tools are rare, and typically (for them) the tools are a real part of the final product and not an end to themselves.
If you want to do something creative, forget about perfection and just DO IT.
1. Just the hardware itself could have defects, bad connections(memory, CPU, bus), RH interference, bad power supply, heat issues, etc 2. The software may not be entirely the same.. this could include drivers and patches
In short, no two machines are the same. Hardware has varying tolerences that are smaller than ever these days. You're bound to get flakey performance from one of many of the "same" type machines.
I'd disagree completely.. it's very difficult to manipulate a 2d environment mapped into a 3D environment on a 2D screen.. and IMHO nobody's gotten it right.
Apple is far and away better off having found good uses for 3d in Quartz. Looking glass should look at those examples.
I'd say something more useful would be something akin to an X server for 3D objects, instead of an X->texture transformation. Not discounting textures here, but merely saying we could do much better with using arbitrary managed 3D objects.
It's even easier than that!! The IM protocols out there allow the embedding of images, flash, etc. The solution is that when you are using the yahoo IM server, you can expect images to be streamed in the chat session itself. That way it's simply usage condition of the protocol itself.
Questions: 1. What is a large sum? 2. Are these groups based on location or on affiliates as listed by the State Department Terrorist list? 3. Is this consistant with his past behavior? 4. How did he amass a "large sum?"
I haven't read anything about the case to be honest, but it's best to question when you see discremancies like this.
You'll probably need to add concrete renforcement and a second 10KW circuit to your location to hold up the sun box you'll need to run it at a decent speed.
Key to this doctrine of no compromises is the nature of how Gelato uses the NVIDIA Quadro FX GPU. Instead of just using the native 3D engine in the GPU, as done in games, Gelato also uses the hardware as a second floating point processor.
WOW. That would be a fast FPU, I'm supposing. How fast can it sieve?
A few questions answered from what I've garnered from babelfish and the sony page in japan.
* The ebook format is in something called BBEB.
* It will be protected with OpenMG (magic gate)
* Most books will be rented out for 2 months (60 days)for around 315 Yen from "time book town". Afterwards. the book will fail to read. Some reference books are included, others books can be bought (Dictionaries, etc) They have monthly rental plans as well.
* The resolution is 160 DPI, with a resolution of 800x600 at 6 inches in size.
* You can store "links" and "notes" per page it seems.
* It comes with 10 MB of onboard memory, plus you can add any size memory stick as well.
That's about all I remember from last night's searching.

Hrm.. it appears to be 32MBytes of vram (http://www.sharp.co.jp/products/pcmp70g/text/p6.h tml)
10.4" screen (Do they use inches for screen size in Japan??)
I know next to nothing about Japanese, so grain of salt for us all!

Take it a step further and develop a noise cancellation system that cancels external noise inside a car. That would be patentable.

There are TONS of differences!
1. Just the hardware itself could have defects, bad connections(memory, CPU, bus), RH interference, bad power supply, heat issues, etc
2. The software may not be entirely the same.. this could include drivers and patches

Ever used a Zaurus or a iPaq( That's why it's called StrongARM )? How about a newer Palm Pilot?
The ARM processor is a wonder of low power design!
Perhaps I will crawl back into the cave and stare at the shadows...

Why not just go the full distance and do a complete recompilation system? Feed in PPC code, get out i386 code.

If only I had mod points. My prayers go as well.

Looks like all the archives just pulled the DVD iso, what's up with that??

Windows.Forms in .net is simply a wrapper for win32... and win32 is as much or more of a hack job than gtk+.
If you're looking for beautiful code, check out QT.. truly a beautiful C++ implementation...

How long before they relase the TI 99/4A?
Pan
Wow, there's actual drivers there!!!!
There's a fb driver for the screen, a sound driver for the Dragonball MX1, and an USB driver for the MX1 too!
I wonder if these drivers could be used for other projects?
