Meanwhile, a working dad in Japan gets to watch his son grow up.
Yes, I suppose in 128x128 resolution at 1 frame per second. But in north america and europe where the working week is 60 hours a week, the father (or mother) can actually watch the child and maybe offer a helping hand. Instead of admire a pixelated version.
Perhaps this phenemonon can explain the adoption gap. If we have more time to spend with the ones we love, we don't need to purchase technological replacements for this contact.
My atari st was by far my favourite computer. It was my first and it seemed every week or so I would discover something new to do with it. The graphics on the games were better than most PC games until the 486 generation, and the sound is still amazing. I remember gleaming with pride at how much better all of the sierra quest games looked on my ST than the PC screenshots on the box.
I don't knwo about that I used to love coding on paper, as its so hard for the peopel marking you to find bugs, and missing brackets and stuff. If you thought the thing out right, you'd probably get full marks. And plus if your stressed during a test and make some silly mistake, you don't get caught up on it for the rest of the hour, you don't even know you've made the mistake.
Its seems to me that people are missing the boat a bit. The largest growing martket for cell phones and PDAs is the 12-16 year old tweens. These kids already play their gameboy advance interminably. Why don't they start with a gameboy and add cell phone features. This would be pretty easy, even if they had to add a nother processor, they would make up for it in air time. It would bigger. heck call it gameboy.NET...oh wait.
This one time, I added real ketchup to some pringles. It was pretty good, but the that pale man wiht the moustache has been after me for a all I'm worth.

If I was into distrupting the peace and all I would take a good hard look at this map and determine which connections are the most fundamental.
Generally in these types of partially connected maps, a few nodes exist without which the whole systems shuts down.
Sort of makes one feel like the rebels when they got a map of the deathstar

I'm using the TI code composer studio to develop some DSP stuff. When you connect a development board to your PC you can debug the code, set traps and all sorts of wonderful things. IF you happen to unplug the device from the parallel port while code composer studio is running or turn of the power to the device even for a second(even if you are not currently running anything on the target) the program crashes.
This is annoying, as the software reset function doesn't always work, and it forces you to close the program to turn off the board to start your code again if you have made any mistakes. Now I was alwyas under the impression that these debugging tools were supposed to make it easier to fix mistakes.
Man do I ever hope this film will include the TNG staff and not one of the later soap opera type series. My friend has a Deanna Troy action figure on which the red paint on the chest has been rubbed off.
There is no reason why a cell phone or wireless device would communicate any slower with java on it than without. The protocols are all coded in embedded assembler or a PGA. Java or whatver other applications language will have nothing to do with data transmission rate.
But its more difficult with software to PROVE whose at fault. There are so many interacting components that peopl ewill contiunally pass the buck to to the interacting vendors. It is a windows problem...no its a motherboard problem...no its a. So people sya forget it I guess its just my problem. I suppose this is a definite advantage to opening up source. one could point to a line and say there that's the problem, its yours, fix it.
You can sue your contractor. You can get sick from bad food preparation and sue. There is really no precedence for negligence in software developement. People just restart and continue... sometheing you can't really do with a bridge.
Removeable media has existed for as long as computers have. Data you won't use all of the time can be put on a shelf or stored. There is a hierarchy from registers to cache to memory to hard-disk to removeable storage. Put things in the right place, do you really need to store 200 DVD movies on your computer (how many times do you watch each one). Heck, do you really need 200 DVD movies at all?
I'm sure they have all have some real-world timer available of a little lower resolution than the clock. You don't need a 0.01 us clock to keep events happening in quake, and they would probably keep a slower timer around for things like asynchronous IO.
Yeah, I'd love to see a good data-acquisition device shaped like a handheld with some sort of portable labview on it. Battery power ossciliscope, spectum analyzer, logic analyzer, all in one little package. Design it, i'll buy it.
Its gotten to the point where CPU power consumption is so good that the real concerns in designing a low power device reside in the peripherals.
I was designing a low-power DSP application, and the CPU consumed like 24 mW at 100 mHZ. But, when I added any peripherals to it the power consumption shot up an order of magnitude. The moral of the story is that people should stop worrying so much about CPU power consumption and take a good look at trying to bring up all the things that go with a CPU to the same level.

Just a thought.
This seems to me like an elaborate way to scare people into filling up their pre-paid minutes.
How many morons are saying saying to themselves:

I agree
"if they can't find it on the site, they must be stupid." .
So what if there stupid, stupid people's money works too. (maybe better)
Funny how a cell phone has all of this dedicated audio processing, speech recognition and noise filtering, but only produces bleep bling for games.
FreeCiv, on a PDA screen...you'll go blind!

Not sure if biometrics at this point has anything to do with genotyping.

There have been so many studies about the effects of over-weightedness. I am glad someone has realized that weightlessness is just as bad.
