"WASHINGTON – The Justice Department today announced separate agreements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Pace University in New York City and Reed College in Portland, Ore., regarding the use in a classroom setting of the electronic book reader, the Kindle DX, a hand-held technological device that simulates the experience of reading a book.
Under the agreements reached today, the universities generally will not purchase, recommend or promote use of the Kindle DX, or any other dedicated electronic book reader, unless the devices are fully accessible to students who are blind and have low vision. The universities agree that if they use dedicated electronic book readers, they will ensure that students with vision disabilities are able to access and acquire the same materials and information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as sighted students with substantially equivalent ease of use. The agreements that the Justice Department reached with these universities extend beyond the Kindle DX to any dedicated electronic reading device."
Overclockers.com has a review of the Phenom II x6 1075T processor. Looks like it's got pretty good overclock potential and performs well against similarly priced Intel chips.
Thing is, you don't get to choose only the regulations that you like. If you give the FCC the power to decide how ISP's run their businesses, you get AT&T and Comcast and the RIAA and every kind of censorship group trying to influence those decisions.
Given a scene with both brightly lit areas and dark shadows, film or digital sensors cannot capture the maximum amount of detail in both areas in the same picture. Compromises must be made which either overexpose the bright areas or leave the shadows underexposed. The simplest form of HDR photography tries to compensate by taking several shots of the same scene with different exposure settings, and then combining the exposures after the fact. This is difficult with moving subjects, to say the least. Trying to use the same technique with video would be even more troublesome.
It sounds like the "creative individuals" have solved the problem by enabling the use of multiple, synchronized, video cameras to record the same scene from the same viewpoint (hence the beamsplitter). Just pointing separate cameras at the same target with give parallax effects and you'd end up with a stereo 3d image instead of the HDR image when the different cameras' images were recombined.
I agree about the proper lighting. However, the usual run of LCD flat screen monitors won't show much if any flicker at any refresh rate.
I'll have to disagree about matching refresh rates to power line frequency for CRT monitors, because the match is rarely if ever perfect. The computer monitor's refresh frequency is internally generated and not locked to the line frequency, and you'll end up with a strobe effect that is much worse than if you choose a higher refresh rate like 72 or 80 hz.

"Logical government regulation"?
Don't make me laugh.
I trust the free market more than I trust the government, no matter which party is in power.

Don't completely disable the phone. If the gait analysis comes up "wrong" then require the user to enter his password again.
Don't say anything to the cops without your lawyer present. And don't sign any waivers of rights, no matter what they tell you.

Take that with a grain of salt, of course.
Maybe so, but the big losses get escalated a lot faster. Two millions per month is going to set off all sorts of alarms.
Grabbed too much. Set off flags at the banks. Did the deed from a traceable location. And then kept on doing it until the cops showed up.

Ah, yes, you're right. I got him confused with a different type of "art" which was acrylic blocks used as a "beam dump" in an accelerator lab.
Google isn't being helpful on that one.
An artist makes unusual "sculptures" by putting acrylic blocks into the beam path of a relatively small electron accelerator:

Look up "regulatory capture".
If you're of a mind to do any of those things which you threaten, no amount of regulation on the Internet is going to stop you anyway.
Are you proposing that the government should actively regulate and filter the internet to the degree necessary to prevent you from doing those things?
No, I hadn't noticed that at all. I think any sort of government regulation of the Internet is a bad thing.

I bought several old games from them. Fortunately, I have backups of the installers.

Why not incorporate a QR-code symbol in the stamp? That would work on almost any phone without requiring special apps.
