Layered LCDs (aka SOLED) really have 2 advantages. One is that they (that is, TOLEDs) can be made (around 70% opacity) transparent by using a transparent conductor (called ITO.. read Universal Display's patents one day if you can manage to get through it) for the electrodes, and two is that they can produce the full RGB spectrum (by stacking transparent layers) in 1/3rd of the physical space.
So while this is cool and all, it's not really going to help with a 3D gui, as these OLEDs are still made in 2D sheets.. they just use a transparent conductor. What they WILL allow for is stuff like super high resolution Heads-Up-Displays on car windshields.. which is still damn cool by me.
The technical term for the sum total of all the parallel universes, which aren't parallel, and furthermore are not, strictly speaking, universes either. This is easiest if you don't try to realize that until a little later, after you've realized that everything you've realized up to that moment is not true. The reason they are not universes is that any given universe is not a thing as such, but rather just a way of looking at the WSOGMM. The reason they are not parallel is the same reason the sea is not parallel. You can slice the WSOGMM any way you like and you will generally come up with something that someone will call home. Please feel free to blither now.
At the end of this movie, Earth is restored and Arthur gets the girl.
Girls are easily lost, and it's clearly stated that Earth is in the "ZZ 9 Plural Z Alpha" zone.
For those who didn't read the books, this means there exist many different earths.. some were destroyed, some were restored, who really knows what's going on?
Falsifiability is an important concept in the philosophy of science that amounts to the apparently paradoxical idea that a proposition or theory cannot be scientific if it does not admit consideration of the possibility of its being false.
ID is not falsifiable. Since there is no way to conclusively show you wrong, all the evidence in the world wouldn't make it a scientific theory. There is no science behind it.
As far as evidence goes, I'm curious.. Enlighten the rest of us, what is this evidence that opened your eyes in college?
The actor entirely failed to capture the snide cynicsm of Prosser in the way that the guy in the TV show did.
I totally agree, and I think this critisism can be made of a number of the actors. Mos Def really dissapointed me, I'd always seen Ford as a bit more of a.. flamboyant character. On the other hand, Marvin was just wonderfully cynical enough.
You could really tell who in the theater had read the books by when they would laugh (at the parts that were funny as hell in the book) even when the film's delivery of the joke totally failed.
I've seen what you describe happen, and it is usually due to shitty network card drivers.
My personal favorite is the "Saving your settings" wait upon shutdown. After you've installed a few apps and run the system for a while, this can take a few MINUTES.
The CD-ROM thing the GP mentioned is also hella annoying.. Floppies aren't as bad as they used to be under the 9x windows though (want to format a floppy? can't do ANYTHING else!)
According to matlab, 2^(2^18) is infinity (integer overflow).
However, if the blocks are only 512-bytes each then 2^(2^9) is 1.3408 x 10^154.. so start from there and use the fact that squaring means multiplying the exponent by 2, 2^(2^18) is on the order of 10^78848..
Oh, and btw, if you reinstall your Windows, PLEASE disconnect the network, and install the SPs and a select few (worm) hotfixes from CD. Half of the hacked machines are hacked during install, not use.
If you install windows, please do us all a favour and update it (all patches, not just a few) from behind a NAT. My personal suggestion is to stay behind that NAT.. but that's ultimately up to you.
Years ago I had a portable cd player that would skip all the time so i took it apart and there was a thing in there that looked like it had a screwdriver slot, so i put one in and twisted it.
Hmm, I think it's more likely that thing you twisted (probably a tuning pot) controlled the laser's power output rather than it's alignment. Similar pots are in every CD/DVD-ROM but they're usually fairly hard to get to for obvious reasons.
Canadian highscool is a baby-sitting service. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, and dont bother trying to accomplish (ie, learn) something. Just go get high or something, it's a better use of your time.
Then when you're done wasting your life and you want a challenge.. go to a good Canadian University for something that you enjoy.

You're missing the point.. to run Romz on your GBA you must go out and seperately purchase special hardware (a flash cart of some type).
The DreamCast on the other hand would play Romz out of the box.. just burn a CD and pop it in. Combined with the fact that the DreamCast's release and the rise in popularity of CD-RWs coincided, this served to kill an otherwise excellent console (to my knowledge, the first to ship with a modem adapter right from the factory, ready for online play and light web browsing).

It's called Single Window mode.

No, blame those pesky telephone and coax cable lines. If we didn't have those, nobody would be pirating anything on the Internet!
People without resources to host their own tracker can and should use one of the many free, public trackers.
See the BlogTorrent project, from which there is already a bunch of trackers.

Yes! I'm a FIRM believer in the the Whole Sort Of General Mish Mash (WSOGMM) theory:

I see..
Will give it a try, thanks.
Maybe they need transparency that works in every browser?
I just got through converting a bunch of PNGs to GIF for this exact reason (customer uses IE).
Are you aware that Bugmenot has a firefox plugin?
I just right click in the login field, choose BugMeNot, wait 3 seconds for a login to be retreived from their servers, proceed to read story..
especially radio 1, which is for tards
The Essential Mix is an awesome show. I've got mixes from some of the world's best DJs they did for TEM on Radio 1 and they're phenomenal.

The girl's name was Fenchurch.
Arthur and her first had Sex while flying around the city.. the second time, they did it with walkmans.
Definitely much, much better then Arthur's "relationship" with Trillian..
(Here's what I heard: "waah, my planet blew up.. waah.. we're the last 2 survivors.. waaah.. I'm lonely.. waah.. guys are assholes...waah..etc")
Uhm.. isn't that how you're supposed to do it anyway? I don't think I woulda got my (normal, little) sattelite up without the Point Dish screen..
Or are there some people with uber-dish-skillz that just "know" exactly where in the sky they're pointing?
Code like that is why I love Matlab's auto-indent feature..

Yeah right.
I'm sure some manufacturer from China or Tai-wan is going to find a way around this.
Bundle multiple keys?
Allow a way to re-flash with a working key?
Use a different key for each disc?
I'm not entirely sure how a disc is capable of 'revoking' a key anyway.. where's DVD Jon when you need him.

BT won't even wait until the file is done. Blocks are verified as they're downloaded.
Unless they can find a way to cause a collision with every single block (usually 256kb) of the file, not just the file itself, this attack is useless.
It puts all the settings into a nice, collapsable treeview and gives you a description of what each obscure setting means.
I'd say that's useful.

But not your web server's bandwidth, as you can seed from home. And not your web server's storage, as the file is stored in the swarm.
.torrent files themselves, as they're usually insignificant)
