This invention involves a device, referred to herein as a "cabinet," which provides physical and biochemical support for an animal's head which has been "discorporated" (i.e., severed from its body). This device can be used to supply a discorped head with oxygenated blood and nutrients, by means of tubes connected to arteries which pass through the neck. After circulating through the head, the deoxygenated blood returns to the cabinet by means of cannulae which are connected to veins that emerge from the neck. A series of processing components removes carbon dioxide and add oxygen to the blood. If desired, waste products and other metabolites may be removed from the blood, and nutrients, therapeutic or experimental drugs, anti-coagulants, and other substances may be added to the blood. The replenished blood is returned to the discorped head via cannulae attached to arteries. The cabinet provides physical support for the head, by means of a collar around the neck, pins attached...
No, it's not warming up that takes so long, but the tv has to load the software from rom into ram, and initialize a lot of stuff. There is quite a bit of computation going on in a digital TV. Then of course to actually show something it has to wait for the next keyframe to go by, since the i-frames and p-frames don't make much sense without a keyframe.
When it's tuned to analogue TV it acts pretty much like a 1960 TV, except for being a big LCD
I have been a "software engineer" at that company that makes those expensive teal green routers that you see everywhere and the software architect at a couple start-ups. I have a master of fine arts degree and a liberal arts BA. The closest thing to a computer science course I ever took was a philosophy department symbolic logic course in collage and some assembly programming on a PDP8 in high school.
BTW I hate the term "software engineer", but that's another rant.
What does this "author getting paid" have to do with anything? If I write something and give it away for free does that mean I somehow have lesser rights? This is obviously not about the money ( undoubtedly why the MPPA wasn't interested )
"There could hardly be a clearer statement that what those who want activist courts actually fear is rule by the people."
You are of course talking about the supreme court jumping in and throwing the election to Bush, right? Cant get much more activist than that. Con't get much more fearful of the rule of the people for that matter.
Quote "This ruling limits the ways in which a person can enjoy content they've legitimately purchased" No, that is not the ruling at all. The ruling is that you can't edit the original work, and then resell, rent, or otherwise profit on said editing. No one said anything about editing it yourself and keeping it to yourself, or fast-forwarding, or distributing a computer program to edit or skip the "bits" for you.
When I worked at Cisco, the big plan in many of the product groups was to move the intelligence away from the edge of the network as a way to keep Cisco routers from being commoditized.
You (plural) don't understand. I and MANY others are looking for a reliable long term OFF LINE storage. Hard disks probably are fine if you are only talking about the platters and not the moter/bearings/heads/electronics not to mention the interface to the computer.
Raid sounds good, but is there a standard for the controlers? Software to split the data across several drives in a similar fasion to raid 5 might work but I'd only be interested in it if it was open source in a language that was likely to be around for a while (Perl ?)
I have some paper tape from 1972 that is probably readable if I could find a teletype 44 but I'm pretty sure that all of my magnetic media from the 1970s is lost.
I've always subscribed to the practice of storing lots of copies of my work lots of places, but with photography it's pretty unwieldy.
I'm a photographer and I'm looking at over a terabyte of external firewire drives piled up on my desk and spindles of DVDs backing them up. Right now the options for reliable long term reasonably prices storage pretty much suck if you generate around six gig of files a day. Lots of hard drives is fine as far as price goes, but they aren't an answer for long term storage. If anyone has an idea for storage in the 30 year range, I'd like to hear about it. My experience with tape back in the DC250 days was pretty dismal, and I don't ever see any tape systems touted for long term storage, but I'd love a recommendation for a system that I could trust for more than 10 years. I assume that a product to address this market will show eventually but I'd like to have something now
That's funny, I'm using windows 2000 and it very much an issue here. Not only that, it seems to be enough of an issue that some diagnostic programs like Iarsn Taskinfo by default pop up a warning when you use more than 4000 GDI objects. Where did you hear that problems with system resources had been fixed?
Firefox using 256+ meg of memory I can deal with, but using 5000 GDI objects is ridiculous there are single pages that use 400+
Windows has something called GDI objects (graphics device interface objects), and firefox uses too damn many of them.
Somewhere after 5000 of them are in use windows slows down to a crawl and dies no matter how much memory you have, and with enough tabs and windows open firefox will be using 4000+ of them all by itself.
You are forgetting the google web accelerator webaccelerator.google.com/ where you let google see everything that you do in exchange for everything being sped up. Maybe this is part of that ?
"5 babies do not like cupcakes, 2 are too young, so 3 babies eat cupcakes"
But you are counting the 2 babies who are too young as part of the group of babies who like cupcakes when obviously they are a subgroup of those who do not like cupcakes ( how can they like them if they have never had them ? ) so there should be 5 babies who like cupcakes
Why probably ? Well if there are any 18 and 19 year olds who would be both teenagers and adults that would change things...
You mean the "It's not a core functionality, just don't use it till we fix it, nothing depends on it because it isn't integral to the browser or OS " excuse ?
Accept it? More like I'd LOVE to see it happen. Seriously if this were the sort of problems that Microsoft had, I'd be much happier to use their stuff. I use it now, windows 2000, not IE if i can help it, and I'm not happy
I know someone who used one of those cue-cat barcode readers that output an encrypted version of a barcode as a way of using objects on his desk like books or candy wrappers as user names and passwords.

"CPUs, RAM and, maybe, storage. "
Oh, I imagine there is at least some storage involved...
Unless they cache the internet in ram

My new HDTV takes about a minute to boot. Something about an ATI bios
So let me get this straight. It's ok to rob, murder, pillage, start wars, and cross dress in (some)game(s) , but running a con game is not ok?

Well the Paul Allen companies come to mind as exceptions ...
Option C: If they don't like the movie they just don't watch it.
Maybe someone could tell me why these folks in Utah are so determined to watch movies that they don't like.
