Fully agree on Children of Dune. I own the first Miniseries and haven't even watched it. Caught the 1st and 3rd COD and figured I'd pop in those DVD's someone got me o so long ago.
The young Joules Vern was pretty cool... though I only ever saw 2 programs. Lexx was odd but better then anything after ST:TNG in the ST universe. (not trying to offend trekkies... I have always made it a point to see the movies in the theater but my interest is waining.)
SG1... I guess it's a religous issue. I never liked it but I will have to say that it has clutched on for dear life as best it could for years. I actually watched a couple of episodes becuase of Farscape, though I kinda feal sh$tty about it now.
This is assuming no triangulation of source. If I treat my input as a point, I get interfernce at any given frequency because I treat all transmission as coming from and arriving to this imaginary space. (this is the way traditional broadcasting is treated)
If on the other hand I treat my input as a three dimensional space all of a sudden I can have as many broadcast sources as my ability to process them can tolerate. I can distinguish signal based on directionality, though I have new concerns like multi-path signals and two sources coming one behind the other.
It is true that bandwidth is a high school math problem to figure out for a given source, but it is a technological problem why we have interfernce.

This is campaign rhetoric all the same and still shows arrogance. That is why he came off badly during the debates. I agree it is not is ignorant as it is made out to be but it still over emphasizes his actual role in this.
What is your definition of interference? Is it a physical property of photons that blinds one from directionality. I can't see how interfernce is anything but an artifact of the tool. Sound works on similar principals, but in a crowded room I can single discusions above the "noise". Is their something qualitatively different with human perception that can't be replicated in a tool?
That is by far the most ignorant ramble I've ever heard. You are assuming that EMF can only describe transmission as time and energy with no directionality. I as an personally can tell radio source directionality from nothing more than movement and time with only experiencing the conversion of the signal from a tool that can perceive the transmission as you describe. Therefore i am receiving and interpreting the multiple sources just fine.
What amazes me about these type of science rag claims is they help confuse an already poorly understood subject. Every time I read coverage about creationism in a science periodical that in the same issue has explanations of how evolution incorrectly works.
Wasn't Lamark discredited over a century ago?
I do think a move to 64-bits to tyde us over for a decade for addressable memory space is crucial. Regardless of what some CIO thinks at some dot.com, 64-bits just keeps the need train rolling.
Now as far as my neeed for the latest and greatest has wained with my interest in games. I can say that compiling on the 2.4ghz p4's at work beat the hell out of compiling on my 1.13ghz tbird at home. Gentoo install was an order of magnitude difference. But as I creep more and more into my software freedom I see new reasons to get the 10ghz chip, with dual 64bit cores. Just think how fast I can convert DVDs to Divx.
They are a government regulated monopoly as long as they own 80% of homes and businesses in any given area. That was why Covad and other CLEC's failed. They still had to pay the bells.
You can't really blam him. Who really reads PC news from a magazine anyway. I get all my news filtered through the opinions of slashdot for more a couple of years now, and I can't say that I miss the glossy pictures.
I'm sure there is room for improvement. Simplicity and a quick learning curve should always be goals. From a seasoned users perspective I would like to see speed and ease of customization. I think there is still a little ways to go for Gnome, KDE and M$Windows.
Forget about the Controller card. It's cheap and not HOT SWAP. Me and a friend have been slavering over a product called an ARENA99 I found at http://www.dirtcheapdrives.com Now if I can convince myself that an ide-raid enclosure is worth the money I'll be in heaven

Dune is by far my most cherished book series so I am religous about it's content.
Funny enough the original movie with Kyle Maclaughlin was why I picked up the books. And now that I own them I can bear watching it.
I haven't watched the first miniseries (though I own because relatives know I am a fanatic.)
Children of dune (minus Leto with that expanding suit) was pretty close to the source and had great production value.

Neither of the specs you mention pay attention to directionality. The TECHNOLOGY treats the signal as omnipresent.

MS Rep: There is some merit to open source so that is why were introducing Tux Bob(tm)!
Finally a good way to get rid of popup ads.

I thought that if a trio of strange quarks hit any other matter it would convert it into the same?
