They have both MP3 and FLAC of their shows, and they are available within a day or two of the show. They have "every show Phish has played since 12/31/02" along with some other shows too.
someone (I can't recall who) offered a prize to the site that could generate the highest google pagerank for the nonsense phrase "Nigritude Ultramarine". I'm sure if you google you can find some more information.
Couldn't manufacturers spray some sort of nonconductive film onto new boards?
With regard to the NASA reference, could you please go into more detail? I though growing crystals were slow to enlarge and fragile. I'm not doubting the veracity, I just don't understand how zinc crystals could grow *through* an inch of epoxy.
Lets take a look at a VIN. First you can only use capital letters and numbers, except for the letters I, O and Q. If you can't tell if its a letter or a number then its a number.
WVW EE83A2 SE219476
The first three characters are the WMI, world manufacturer identifier. With the above VIN its pretty obvious who made this car (volkswagen). I can't speak for other manufacturers, but with volkswagen the first character is the country of manufacture. This Passat was built in Germany.
The next six characters are the VDS, vehicle descriptor section. Manufacturers use this to describe the vehicle traits, and if you google for "volkswagen vin decoder" (or whatever manufacturer you're looking for) you can probably find out what the codes represent. The last digit in this section is a check digit.
The final 8 characters are the VIS, vehicle identifier section. At least, the last 5 digits must be numbers and it is the production number of the car (serial number). The first character in this section is the year of manufacture. With VW, the second character in this section is representative of the plant that built the car. The remaining digits are the production number.
If you look at the year of manufacture it rolls over every 30 years anyways. With a little common sense it shouldn't matter if two cars have the same VIN... there would be an age difference of 30 years.
Don't you get the impression that the person listing the auction is not a naitive english speaker? All of the hardware is Japanese and the seller is located in Hong Kong. A few spelling errors doesn't change what you get.
How much does Matt Groening do for each episode? I bet most of his money comes from intellectual property ownership and licensing, not from his work on the show.
From the article, I believe this device is simply a holter monitor that immediately sends the data elsewhere. Typical holter monitors log all the data on a device the patient wears for 24hrs. When the patient returns to the doctor's office, the device is removed and the data is transferred to one or more formats (CD, paper hardcopy, etc). If the data was being streamed and analyzed in realtime, doctors may be able to call a patient into the hospital before symptoms present themselves.
The pictures are interesting. They also show that he's nowhere near your flight path. The cheap digital camera used would have very little detail at higher altitudes. I doubt he even raised the balloon above 100 feet. The first image of it shows it hovering around the top of a palm tree... how tall can a palm tree grow?
Perhaps the optical mice do not move on rotation because a traditional ball mouse wouldn't move either? If the optical sensor has 2 dimensions of vision and sufficient (albeit low) resolution, couldn't you identify rotation type movement by analyzing the input?
If nVidia intends to include driver optimizations for many popular applications, then is it really cheating? Lots of games are built upon the Quake3 engine, and I'm sure the Doom3 engine will be used for some great titles. If nVidia will optimize the drivers for specific games then I'm all for it.
I live in Mechanicsburg. While PA certainly has some bad points, it could be much worse. The entire Harrisburg area is growing. New houses are being built constantly, and property values just keep rising.
Did you honestly live here or are you trolling? You never learned to spell the name of the capital, nor the word capital itself?
I recently bought a Fuji FinePix 2650 digital camera, which uses xD picture cards. They are the smallest standard on the market (i think). Here's a picture of all the different types... xD is on the right. Its small, but unlike smartmedia it is not thin. Its rigid and feels durable. I think capacities can scale up to 1GB with the architecture. The only drawback is that the standard was created by Fuji and Olympus, and I don't know if it will be offered by other manufacturers.
If you already own a PS2 and a network adaptor, you can play media files on your TV with Q-Cast Tuner. However, this does require you to have your PS2 on the LAN with your PC. The files are streamed off of your computer to the PS2 which then decodes them and plays them on your TV.
I have driven VWs (almost) exclusively since I got my license, and one of the vehicles I had was an '85 Quantum. The VW Quantum was very similar to the Audis with the suspected uncontrolled acceleration. However, I never crashed through any garage doors because the problem does not exist.
In 1986 a young child was killed when struck by an Audi 5000 his mother was driving. She claimed her foot was firmly on the brake, yet the car lurched forward. 60 Minutes hired the mother for an interview and turned the news story into a sensational account of how all Audis were flawed and dangerous.
Other accounts of similar occurrences were given. In each circumstance the drivers claimed that despite fully and firmly depressing the brake pedal, the car was still able to accelerate. This situation is extremely unlikely, except in the event of a brake failure. If you drive an automatic car and you don't care about your transmission, try it: floor the accelerator with one foot on the brake and the car in drive. The engine will not overcome the stopping power of the brakes.
The tremendous amount of bad publicity nearly forced Audi to end US operations. Owners of Audi 5000's saw the resale value of their cars plummet. Sales did not recover until the mid-90's, a decade after the 60 Minutes episode was aired. Despite all of this, 60 Minutes was never held liable for the economic damage they inflicted with their yellow journalism.
Of course, I am a bit partial to VW/Audi (the same company in case you didn't know). Here's a 1989 Wall Street Journal article on the subject, mentioning how 60 Minutes modified their test vehicle to exhibit the symptoms of uncontrolled acceleration. A more complete explanation of the story can be found here.

Do you mean the second world war, or is the first world war not named as such outside of the US?

national geographic has some awesome sun images this month
Speak for yourself... Kathy Bates is one fine piece of ass.
A few grammar errors do not change what you get either.

Then maybe the Governator's Office will make sure everything is properly terminated.
nVidia has always done this. They take their top end card, and after a few months they offer a refined version.
Riva TNT2 -> Riva TNT2 Ultra
Geforce2 GTS -> Geforce2 Ultra
Etc. This seems to differ from 3dfx's downfall, where they designed one chip meant to run in parallel. nVidia is still revising their chip designs.
Why post an Ask Slashdot when its been answered in the post itself?
It's Volkswagen, you insensitive clod!

"Please, base your definitions of words on actual reading, not music, because apparently musicians are just as illiterate as the rest of America."
Alanis Morissette is from Canada, so perhaps she's as illiterate as the rest of Canada.

On the contrary, they're currently working on a three-ton acoustic air conditioning system. It scales, and the efficiency is improving.
The dB scale is logarithmic, so a simple linear comparison doesn't work.
