I don't have any actual experience in the matter, but I don't think.2 secs is still fast enough. (Try balancing a stick on the tip of your finger with.2 secs of delay, wouldn't last too long)
I don't think it's the AI that holds the balancing back, it's probably the servos and motors. As far as I remember they're not quick (responsive) enough (at least not for cheap).
you know, when i watched T2 i loved it. and i was a big Gn'R fan at the time too. everything about that movie was really cool. but then, as i grew older i realized that T1 was scary, not cool, and that's when i alienated myself from all things Terminator that weren't scary. (but it probably has something to do with the fact that i was very young when i watched T1, and therefore much more scare-able)
let's remember that there's nothing wrong with protecting the copyright. the problem lies in the fact that copyrights seem to be indefinite. we need to cut them down, not cut them out.
First they built the big Arm thing that goes inside a shuttle. Now they've made a cylinder with two arms! and a wiener-prod. What will they think of next?
But seriously, I think it's great if Hubble can be repaired. More power to you guys.
While "Chapter 8 (written by an attorney from the U.S. Dept. of Justice) concludes part one of the book with a look at the legal issues involved with honeynets.

you know, i think that my circuit design class was the best clas i've ever taken. we studied VHDL (hardware design language)and designed and simulated our own circuits. learend more about how computers actually work than in any of my other classes.
People who like computers should NOT go into CS. They should instead go into Comp. Eng. and play with all the stuff that they like about computers.
CS is for people who like computation. (Some of us like hardware or networking but not necessarily constraints, finite automata, etc.) I learned it the hard way, but Computer Science doesn't actually mean Computer Tinkering, it means Science of Computation done with the help of computers.
Unfortunately, many smaller colleges don't make the distinction either, so they mash up Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, MIS, and Computer Science into one Allmighty CS degree; which in many cases doesn't prepare one for the real world.
A couple of episodes of Kirk wouldn't mean that much for the franchise, and here's why:
Kirk wasn't the best captain. Piccard was. As a matter of fact, the original show was good not because of Kirk, but because of the chemistry of the crew: Bones (what kind of nickname is that anyway?) was an alcoholic. You can see that from the way his eyes were always watery. Scotty was probably the only one in his family that finished college, and the rest of the crew was great too.
The next generation had horrible, boring and pollitically correct crewmates, and a kickass captain. (Q and borg were good too) (You'd better believe that when Piccard would say "Fire at Will!" I'd be the first one to unload a clip into that John Tesh-liking bearded wimp.)
Voyager had 7of9, DS9 had a story, and Enterprise has hmm... not sure yet.
So in conclusion, I believe that it's the characters and their chemistry that makes the show, not any one individual or the wacky situations they're put in. A couple of shots of Kirk are too little, too late.
For those of us too lazy to RTFA, are we allowed to legally host a for-profit webserver for the price of $35, or whatever else the basic package costs?
Because if I can't do that what would be my incentive to do it. I already have a hard time keeping up with all the pr0n i'm leaching.
I love apple, and would love an iPod, but seeing as (in adittion to no dock or carry case!)they still don't have a replaceable battery I'm still not interested in plunking down 300 bucks.
I don't know how useful dock is, since I've never used an iPod, but it does seem like a kick in the pants not to include it. Carry cases get used all the time I'm sure, it's a shame those are excluded.
I think it's the battery that does it for me. I'd really like the ability to purchase another battery 2 years down the road and snap it in myself. (Much like I can with the propriatery battery for my digital camera)
When they solve that issue, they'll have my money.

The sailor's rule only applies when the rope is hanging down, it has to support its own' weight, yadda, yadda, yadda...
But, you see, this rope will be hanging "up" so to speak, and therefore conveniently bypassing any such rule. If my calculations are correct, since this rope is going in the negative direction, its strength will increase, rather than diminish, by orders of magnitude!
They can build them above the ground again, only this time use steel beams and concrete, as opposed to cardboard. Don't get me wrong, good ol' corrugated is a fine building material for forts and tree houses, but for a scientific station that is supposed to get covered with ice, one should invest into some steel.

But maybe you're correct.

I can't read japanese, does anyone know if they are remote controlled or autonomous?
I can't possibly think they're autonomous.
Nice trophy girls!

dude,
the guy that played john was fine... kind of a lost kid, doesn't really want to accept his responsibility.
T2 sucked Ass!
emotional schemotional, everything was forced and made to be gee-whiz-cool.
T1 was clearly the best Terminator, the rest of them are just movies that have a strong robot blowing crap up.

oh right, i forgot that.
and to think that i actually used to educate people about that!
bones is so cool. "Damn'it Jim!..."

If it makes you feel better, I'm still too scared to play it in the dark.
And I'm 26!
Mission accomplished, I'd say.
Yay, he was always one of my most hated monsters. (you can see him at 1:52)
Too bad the double shotgun didn't make the cut.

You bring up an interesting point. In the early ages we were scared of DOS because we wanted a nice GUI.
When Microsoft showed us how even a GUI can be fubar-ed and Unix showed us that a CLI can be useful we all did a 180.

Whether the aliens prefer OGG to AAC?
Well, what you fail to realize is that "R-36M" is a russkie codeword for "BLOODTHIRSTY BEAR!"
They didn't get fired, they were bought out by Microsoft and Intel to work on naming their new products.
firefox .9 won't render it for me.

That's my two cents, anyway...
Anyone knows if there will be any webcasts? Or if ABC, CNN or anyone else is going to have live feeds?
