I didn't watch Buffy or Angel, and I didn't watch Firefly until my brother loaned me the DVDs. It is a very good show that failed because Fox wouldn't give it a consistent time slot or let the creator have final say on production.
I have a Netware 3.2 box that was up for 820 days before I had to shut it down to replace a UPS. Then it was up for 712 days before I had to shut it down to move it. Now it is up to 564 days. It has all the patches released before support was stopped and I don't have to worry about security because we don't allow IPX to cross the router.
Yes, there is - and I think that it proves that a dedicated group of idiots can corrupt any idea. If you do a Google search you will find "atheist" sites that are activly trying to disprove that God exists.
Without God, genetic research will be used to oppress.
Like GATTACA, but much, much worse.
Yes, because the followers of God have done so much better. Lets look at the past for examples of the religious looking out for the best interest of the mankind. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem With Trials, the U.S dealings with Palestine, the KKK, TV Evangelists in sex scandals - and with this track record you think that people who believe in God are the people to trust with technology like genetics?
I am not anti-religion, but I know for a fact that the religious have no claim to the moral high ground. I personally think that we could trust God (if he exists) with genetics, but as soon as you put people in the mix a certain number will use any advantage they can find for personal gain.
They are also the same radio spectrum as NTSC analog (six MHz). We get more program streams in because we compress the programs using MPEG2 and mux the data into one transmission. We get a total of 19.39Mb of space. Typically HD takes the entire amount (minus some overhead called PSIP). Some broadcasters decide instead to run SD multicast. That allows several (depending on bandwidth used - usually 3-5 Mb per channel) SD channels. We can also run a mix of HD and SD but we have to compromise on quality somewhere (usually HD).
I agree with you for the most part, but just a couple corrections on your terminology (I am a digital broadcast technician).
DVDs are 480i (to follow the NTSC standard). If you have a progressive DVD player and a TV that can handle a progressive signal they get converted to "pseudo progressive". I say pseudo progressive because once they are sampled as interlaced they can't really be un-interlaced, but you can redraw the same line a second time as you are scanning down the screen. You will end up with deinterlacing artifacts, but they aren't as noticeable as displaying the interlaced signal. The 480 comes from the NTSC standard 525 lines minus the 45 lines that are the vertical blanking interval.
Second - 720p and 1080i are both considered high def. Each one is useful for different things. 720p is better for fast motion things like action movies and sports. Since it is a progressive signal it doesn't have interlacing artifacts. 1080i is higher resolution (1920x1080 vs 1280x720)
If I remember correctly they didn't account for the bow in the lens caused by gravity. So technically it was a miscalculation that lead to a manufacturing problem.
If you weren't taken in to the police station and fingerprinted - you weren't arrested and you don't have an arrest record. You were detained and released because of lack of evidence.
The garage or the electrical service company gets paid $50-$150. The mechanic or electrician gets a fraction of that - just like an IT consultant gets only a fraction of what the consulting company makes.
My friends and I play a lot of games and here are some of our favorites: Nuclear war is a great game. The only game where 2 out of 3 times there is no winner.
Lunch Money is a card game about little girls beating each other up on the playground. The artwork on the cards is pretty cool.
RoboRally is a great game about programming a robot to get through a (very complicated) maze.
I understand that, but go back and read the grandparent to get the proper contetext for my question. This article is about getting more power from a battery, not making the best use of power that we already have.
What does the density of transistors on a die have to do with battery power? Why is it that people who don't have any idea what Moore's law actually says think that they can use it anywhere they want. I saw a sign for two fish sandwiches for $4. Does that mean that Moore's Law has caught up with the fish sandwich?
That is a fairly narrow view of technology - how about GM crops, in vitro fertilization, stem cell research, etc. I am not saying that these things are bad (or that I subscribe to a particular religion), but there are some advances in technology that can have huge moral implications and for a lot of people on this planet that means religion.
The old Ethernet over coax standard was 10base2 (thin-net). It was a bus topology - this means the wires are connected together at each card using a "T" connector. Your wires are in a star topology. There is also difference in the cable. Video uses a 75 ohm cable and thin-net used 50 ohm. If you try to use the wrong cable you will end up with an impedance mismatch and the network won't work. You could probably pull the old coax out and a thin coax and a cat 5 in to each location.
I was at a strip club and my friend was handing out $2 bills. One of the strippers came up and said that she had been looking for one to show her kids. We all looked at her funny and then she explained that she was a third grade teacher.
In my opinion most of the good shows have moved off the broadcast networks and onto the secondary cable channels. Monk and The Dead Zone on USA, The Daily Show and Southpark on Comedy Central, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantas (and hopefully Battlestar Galacticia) on SCIFI. I am also able to find shows that match my interests on the History Channel, TLC, DIY, Discovery, etc.
I do agree that it seems like the networks have decided we are all morons. On the other hand people must be watching or they would show something else.
You can also do this with a TIVO. I have a series 1 TIVO with a TurboNet card and TivoWeb installed. To protect it from the internet I setup an OpenBSD box and use an SSH tunnel to provide authentication.
No, they didn't. They cover this in several places including their forums and the DVD commentary. They make limited use of Halo PC for shots the can't get on the console, but to use it full time would require that they have a PC for every character + 1 for the camera man. With the consoles they need one for every 4 characters + 1 for the camera man.
Have you ever been in a serious accident? When someone caused a head-on collision with a car I was in someone in our car ended up with $40,000 in medical bills for two surgeries and more than a year of physical therapy. And that was just for one person. The other three of us has an additional $7,000 in medical bills. When I said "several thousand dollars" what I should have said is "tens of thousands of dollars".
Cable companies aren't usually primaries. They pick big broadcast stations because they are broadcast stations. A secondary station wouldn't be able to get the message from a cable company.

there is an organized atheism?

There are some pretty good movies on this site.
You can get photo quality filters from B+H.

That's funny - I used to work at a meat packing plant and we had several inspectors on site at all times.

A payment plan doesn't do me much good if I am out a $30,000 car and have several thousand dollars in medical bills.
That's BSE. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow
