i remember in my theatre history class we had a similar rule, we could have one sheet of paper, front and back, with whatever we wanted on it. myself and three other friends stayed up all night outlining the text book, which we then typed up and put on the paper, in 2.5pt font. ended up with everything on it. our professor wasn't pleased, but we made no effort to hide it. also, staying up all night and then typing the outlines just about negated the sheet. but it did come in handy a few times.
Old Laptop. if 500 mhz is all you need, look around for older systems. they'll do everything you want, including lower power handling. i know for fact you can get a p3 550 box on ebay for around $75. if you don't like the case, put it in a big picture frame on the wall or something.
anybody seen an ati-powered fish tank? it looks just like the real thing!
also, both of my dogs are running pentium 4's (well, their collars are, anyway) i figured it was the best place for them, espically after all those "Core dumps" in my yard.
the article states that they plan to include the logo programming set to teach kids programming.i for one think that's great, but i wonder, can they make games and then play them with the laptop in game mode? that may not be the best idea, however. i wouldn't want a child who was walking down the street fall down a manhole while trying to make their turtle do the same thing.
Also, IGN confirmed that you can turn the controller over along it's axis as an input method. Can't do that with anything but a gyro.
actually, if it had a sensor on each of it's corners, it would be able to detect any sort of motion, and do it quite accurately. not to say that it's more efficient than a gyro, but it's another possibility.
Never mind the indecision between using commas (6,80 Ghz) and decimal points (1.00 TB)
Most countries use commas where we would use a decimal point and vice-versa. there are many different formats for units like that. just like dates. while this story is obviously vaporware, for a company based overseas, that is true-to-form.
The evidence they found tells us that this MAY be a barred spiral galaxy, it is not yet, theres just good strong evidence that could lead to a barred-sprial conclusion.
unless you're looking at a significant length cable run (25 feet or more), i highly doubt you'll notice any difference at all, even between regular patch cords and a "component video" set of cables (which are three patch cords bound together). i have used monster cable speaker cables and signal cables, and you'll not notice a large difference using plain lamp cord and regular cables. as far as component video is concerned, you'll want to make sure the three cables are as similar as possible, and i recommend true coax, with the proper resistance bnc terminated ends (52 ohm i believe). for rca component video, 75 ohm coax terminated in rca plugs works very well, a friend of mine pointed out that for analog audio, this setup works well. for both situations, the components being connected seem to appreciate the higher resistance cable. it helps to curb noise.
either way, unless you're looking at a long run of cables, pretty much anything will do well. and for digital audio, it dosen't matter what the cable is, if it'll pass the signal, it'll work, (there's no signal loss with digital connecitons)
all that being said, monster cables sure are purty... i like purty cables...
Verbatim, the second line of the article is: "Pat-rights named the technology as 'Internet/Remote User Identity Verification', earned a US Patent 6,665,797 therefor, and world-wide patents pending"
now, i'm not a patent lawyer, but since this company is based in hong-kong, and has no worldwide patents, wouldn't that mean that the patent does not apply? or is an overseas company holding a us patent still able to enforce it's us patents from offshore?
it is most likely that your cell phone has an antenna connector on it somehwere (most do, they are usually covered by small grey plastic plugs). i would find out what kind of connector it takes, and get a cell antenna (the kind people use in cars should work fine) that will adapt to it. signal loss with coax is a significant concern, so you will want to keep that link as short as possible, another way around this is to use a high-gain antenna deisgn, that should help compensate for the signal loss from the cable.
I remember this from way back in the days when doom 2 was new, the doom novels followed (not a bad read when you're 13) and there was talk of a movie back then. i remember at the time thinking "make a movie out of a video game? like that'll happen. boy was i wrong.
i feel we should all pray that this one dosen't suck.
i think you may wish to revise your statement, mister "ac". since we already have weapons that can fufill those requirements (they've even been in all the wars of this century. i am of course talking about a fighter plane, and they can reach those heights. of course, since they can be equipped with missles capable of several hundred miles travel, they don't need to be able to go that high. i took your advice, i came up with a weapon.
yeah, that could be useful for monitoring port activity, but will these be manned, or unmanned airships? to me they sound like giant targets, i sure wouldn't want to be in one, esp if the only good egress was a HALO jump.
" The Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI) in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, has developed a process to refine oil from the seeds of Jatropha curcas, a tropical shrub that grows well on degraded lands, is not eaten by animals, and is highly resistant to pests and disease."
so basically, if the USA were to import this, it would be the new kudzu?
don't get me wrong, i think this could be a great thing, however, what would happen if this were introduced to american soil, since it may not have any common pests? yes, we could reduce emissions by powering deisels with this biofuel, but we could also reduce emmissions by being more responsible in our choice of vehicles.
so this plant = good; this plant introduced into america before we know what it will do to our local ecostystems=bad!

this is from england, they remember what happened last time sombody destroyed a cherry tree.
no, but definitely engine mechanics...
definitely.

i would mod the parent up, seems like he hit the nail on the head to me.

you forgot that IT'S A PLAY ON WORDS.
yes, i know the literal translatoin isn't accurate. that's why it's a joke. 'cause it's funny.
The evidence they found tells us that this MAY be a barred spiral galaxy, it is not yet, theres just good strong evidence that could lead to a barred-sprial conclusion.
anybody who's read the Kama Sutra already knows that.
i see the fax site is down. slashdotted, or government conspiracy?
we already have social security numbers. but i still dislike the idea.
That's a really good suggestion, please mod parent up.

dude, your mom uses gimp? she sounds way hot.

verry innovative, now white trash can live in trash. coming soon to a trailer park near you!
i only drive stick, therefore i'll run linux.

man, i'm glad they're playing green bay. for a while there i was worried bush was gonna get re-elected.
