So you're probably self employed and work out of a tiny office, maybe attached to the side of your house. And you probably don't make much money. Or you don't work as a psychologist.
Personally, I like working out of a nice air-conditioned office and being well-paid. And if I'm ambitious, I can work for a startup company or start my own or become a specialist in something and work as a consultant (though that would generally require a lot of travel).
Actually, the Mars rover camera used a filter wheel with over a dozen filters (not just red, green, blue, but different shades and ultraviolet and infrared, if I recall correctly). They would take one image at each camera position with each filter, then those would be composited back on Earth. Then the camera was repositioned for the next position and the sequence was repeated. The resulting set of images were stiched together into large panoramas.
If the Mac mini w/ Core Duo and 2GB is not good enough, maybe you should look for a 1U half-width server. However, it will almost certainly cost you a lot more money.
The only two options were "Creepy" and "More Secure". What if you didn't feel that it was creepy, but didn't feel more secure either. What if you were apathetic about it? Well, if you really didn't care, you probably wouldn't have clicked on either option.
CNN's polls are about as scientific as Slashdot's.
There was no Space Quest 4. It was a joke related to the game that the creator felt like he was getting left behind by the King's Quest series (or something similar), so they skipped 4 and just released 5.
He basically continues his previous argument that monolithic kernels are more efficient and easier to implement. Microkernels may seem simpler, but they have complexity in implementing all but the simple tasks. Microkernels have a more marketable name. "Microkernel" just sounds more advanced than "monolithic". He finishes off with the observation that the term "hybrid kernel" is a trick to grab marketing buzz from the microkernel side of things.
Why buy anything if there are competing subscription companies available (ala Netflix, only with direct downlaod or video on demand). Who would buy any type of disc for $15-20 if for $20 per month you can watch any movie you want, at any time? That's less than cable TV. And I and a lot of people won't care if it's (* limit 10 movies per month). I don't have time to watch 10 movies per month.
The human being has a very deep seated instinct for survival. People can realize that something is wrong and that they need to call a doctor before things get worse. That being said, people often wait until things are very serious, partly due to there being a serious stigma against mental illness.
Wow, you're right. I was under the impression that the numbers weren't that high. Aparrantly 2 million volts or so is considered "extrememly high voltage", but even then, they don't arc, but instead get "corona discharge".
Except that with insanely high voltages, you get arcing across the air, no matter how big the gaps in your wires are. Imagine a tesla coil or a Jacob's ladder. So you can't realy use insanely high voltages unless you encase your wires in a vacuum.
In addition to the games people have already mentioned, I add the following:
Napple Tale Sakura Wars 3 and 4 and the ports of 1 and 2 Hanagumi Taisen Columns Sonic Adventure Guilty Gear X Virtual On Oratorio Tengram Psychic Force 2012 House of the Dead 2 Typing of the Dead Mr. Driller Grandia II Moero Justice Gakuen (aka Rival Schools)
Unfortunately I think many of these games only came out for DC in Japan. Some have been ported to PS2, Xbox, or GC, but not all. It is really a shame that the system had no support. If they had advertised it a little when PS2 missed that first Christmas season, they could have sold millions.
I've heard that it's about 50:50 for romaji input versus direct kana input. Aparrantly people can be faster in kana input. The "optimized romaji layout" is an interesting idea. Something like having AIUEO all on one hand (like maybe where hjkl; are) and the other hand be consonants (ksztdnhbprw). It's an interesting idea.
As for the IME's, there are companies that sell alternative IME's for Japanese Windows. ATOK is a popular one.

Actually, it's not an abbreviation but an acronym.
Go there. It's like Slashdot for home theater nerds.
I switched to pscyhology.

You are aware that 1U is 1.75 inches, right?

hmm?
...or give me Death. No, really.
He just tortures an MPAA executive until he tells him how the movie ends.
Try getting it to run on a modern PC running Windows XP. Good luck.
I guess you're right.

What would the Comedian have to say about this?
(handwriting input method). They are impressive, but they are not perfect.

I'm also excited for subscription audio services.
Do you know what irony is?
Yeah, it's like goldy and bronzy, only it's made of iron.

I like a good Tokyo Breakfast myself.

Ahh, the things you can learn with Slashdot and Wikipedia.

Fine for anti-competitive business practices: $23.25 million.
Almost total domination of the PC operating system business: priceless.

Just because you consider yourself a student of history doesn't mean that you don't lack perspective.
