Man, my 2600 didn't have two buttons Yeah, they screwed up. If you look at the console, it has three levers on each side--the 2600 only had two. My guess would be that they based the design on the 7800, rather than the 2600 (the 5200 looked entirely different).
we could already power our nations automobiles with fuel made from corn instead of fossil fuels Erm, yeah. We take the corn cobs, ferment them, and stick the alcohol in our gas tanks. Then we turn around and grow more corn by spreading petroleum-based fertilizer on the field.
Biomass research, while valuable, discourages the far more valuable practice of composting organic matter.
Telco's don't want you using DSL. They see DSL as the road to long-distance, and nothing more. The FCC requires a telco to have a certain number of DSL lines before they can start competing in long-distance. They don't care about actual service on those lines. The Internet is just a fad, long distance is where the real money is.
IIRC, Descent wasn't even fully 3d (although as close as possible): you could not build a map that had a floating block disconnected from everything in it.
Yes and no, actually. The entire level had to be connected, but you could remove sides of the cubes. It pretty easy to have a floating cube. Even better: check out 4D and fly inside that cube.
Someone needs to merge that 16 bit branch into the main source tree.
Just so you know, that is 16 bits per channel. That's more colours than your video card handles, in all likelihood. And yes, it looks like it will be merged in.
BUT... for the average consumer this is a GOOD thing. Having to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows(which WILL happen eventually) is a real pain.
My fiancee (who is very tech savvy) has twice attempted to use her recovery CD. In both cases, she wound up calling me to bring a real Windows CD over so it would actually work.
And what happens when you buy a new modem or netcard?
Also, the the band from 2.3 GHz to 2.45 GHz is (and had been for quite sometime) used by amatuer radio operators. A higher powered ham tramsmitter could also be a source of interfere with this equipment. Technically, low-power consumer equipment should have been located on another band.
Yeah, guess who has priority there, too? The hams. Guess who has priority on 900MHz? The hams. On these bands, hams are perfectly allowed to interfere with consumer electronics, and said electronics may not interfere with amateur radio operations.
In practice, however, it's damned hard to track down the guy who's screwing up your radio, so generally hams have to vacate the band once the consumers move in. Seeing as nobody would be using microwaves if it weren't for ham experimentation, it's sad that we have to leave.
Oh well, ever upward, to other useless pieces of spectrum, which we'll discover a use for and then get kicked off again. Maybe we'll get some HF bands back in the future
seriously, though, will these engines really require that much less fuel mass?
Yep. Check out the breakthrough propulsion physics page at NASA. Propellant grows exponentially with speed--so, to go twice as fast, you're needing along the lines of four times the propellant--unless you can develop better tech, and have four times the thrust from a different type of propellant. (To bring more propellant, you have to bring the propellant to make the propellant move, and.....)
EOR (Earth Orbit Rendezvous) is considered pretty much necessary for any sort of deep-space mission. It was considered the best candidate for Apollo before they decided to throw away every single piece of the ship on the way. Every Mars mission profile I've seen involves launch from space, generally with vehicle assembly in space.
Read up on Okinawa. The Japanese military handed two grenades to the head of every household: one for the Americans, one for the family. Some military elements attempted to pull off a coup after the surrender order was given. Fact is, the decision to use the bomb saved Japanese and American military and civilian casualties. The real tragedy of US treatment of Japan during WWII was the camps. And the fact that we didn't treat the radiation victims all that well afterwards--of course, we had very little idea that we were responsible.
sigh He did not advocate blowing up the moon. Rather, he stated that we should, if possible, alter Earth's orbit or other features of the solar system if it would benefit life here on Earth. His example was that if blowing up the moon would place the Earth in a new orbit with a longer growing season, we should do it. Heard the guy talk a couple of years ago. Very interesting. Sorry to hear he's passed on.
If you would read the.plan, you would find that he stated Blue reported accurately and drew appropriate conclusions. Blue is only responsible for getting the facts out--other people are responsible for jumping to conclusions.
I'm pretty sure government contracts are required to be in US units. This really screws over any scientific enterprise like NASA, which uses a real system of measurement.
In WC3, if you stay in the bar too long during a full alert, you're stone drunk when you do go out and fly. The controls randomly change axes--hmmm, to go left, I push down and right...oops, not anymore.....
They allow people to _GET_ the source... you don't have to privide source with binaries. No, you don't. But you do have to provide source upon request--referring to someone else who's providing it does not count.
The author comments that 150 MHz is a "trouble region" because there's "more" EMI at that frequency. Bullshit. EMI just has to be present to be a problem, not at a particular frequency. 150MHz is only a problem because the RAM is designed for 133MHz.
They seem to be playing with lots of things. What particularly caught my interest is beam cooling. The standard laser-cooling technique involves making the atoms motionless in the centre of a MOT (magneto-optic trap) with lasers coming in from six directions to hold the atoms. However, they're looking at cooling an actual beam--i.e. cold but still moving, in one direction only. Rather interesting.
Better idea: Find out the state representatives and senators, if you live in NC. Keep an eye on their kids. Get a few friends to help. Don't stalk them--just make a note of any unusual behaviour. In public--don't try to find out what they do in private. Then, call in the kids. From a pay phone. Also call their parents and list off the dangerous behaviour which their kid is participating in.
Hell, skip calling them in. Just tell them that you should have called them in, and they'd better shape up.
A. None of these sites contain any nudity. and B. Mattel is blocking the sites as 'Full Nudity' anyway. You'd think that people would actually care when they heard stuff like that, wouldn't you? Check out Rei's Anime and Manga Page. It's blocked by Bess because it contains nudity. Wha? Nudity? I can't find any there. I emailed N2H2 asking for a review--they sent back one sentence: That page contains nudity, which is against your site's policy. The long and short of it is, people don't seem to care about this. It's generally shrugged off as "acceptable inconvenience," which has a lot to do with "I didn't want to see that page anyways." IMX, Bess blocks approximately half of all anime-related content on the web. Somebody over there doesn't know the difference between anime and hentai, and tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) are being mislead by their stupidity.
With the relaxed US export restrictions, could it be included in the regular package? To the best of my knowledge, no. I believe that the source code export restrictions have not been removed. Binaries only. Good for M$, good for NS/AOL, not good for us.
IIRC, it's not legal to exclude minors because they cannot be bound by a contract. You must not discriminate against minors, you must honour your contracts with them, but they are not required to honour their contracts with you.
The law exists to protect minors, not the other party. IANAL.
Challenger: Several Engineers had tried to stop the use of the material in the O-rings. Several Engineers had tried to stop the launch that morning. Some NASA bearucrat pushed the launch through for internal political reasons.
The O-rings were near the top of (IIRC) a 20-item list of critical problems--i.e. "never fly again until these are fixed." They were redesigned twice. In each case, the redesign was worse, so they returned to the original (flawed) design.

Yes, they do have their heads in the sand.
As for a "global FCC," well that's just a huge stinker of a solution.
International Telecommunications Union, or ITU. It's been around for awhile.
the incineration of Dresden
Last I checked Dresden was incinerated by US bombers, which are rather tenously connected to Europe.
