Why would I need to look at the circuit diagrams to make a broad general statement?) Just saying it's hell of a lot easier to implement redundancy (both gyro and controller) and a system with clear cut failure/recovery procedures using digital stuff.
Dang, didn't know I should've also taken the course 101 of analog controllers to be street credible.
He probably "cheated" and designed the whole damn thing on a computer. Anyway, the reason you can't really do stuff like this on an analog system is imo that you'd had to hit a sweet spot with all you're calculations and all the hardware would actually have to do what it was supposed to do; even then the system wouldn't have been able to do proper error checking and recovery if some component went haywire. Yes, he did it with an analog system, but alas it's really of no consequence.
Noah's ark story is most likely a ripoff. Atlantis, who knows? But I'd like to point out that we should stop assuming every time we find a group of people who lived and vanished that they were a civilization; might have been complete anarchist arseholes for all we know.
Fourth, could be that the area is sufficient to fulfill the hornets needs. Fifth, maybe it's expensive for the hornet to grow this eccentric structure. Sixth, if they dig holes they'd probably like the solar panels to just be in the area that sticks out from the ground the most; depends on how directly they can harness the energy, if they can't really store it, it doesn't make sense for it to be everywhere on their body.
p.s. dear slashdot, isn't it overkill to tell people who actually read the EULA to obsess about things?
Apparently the reports, as Wikipedia states, were basically an outline saying that the president lied to the public and was expanding the war. I see no evidence of the US "losing" and, in fact, given the nature of "expanding" the fronts of a war, I'm inclined to believe we were actually "Winning" and lying about it.
Dr. Strangelove, I presume? I'd hardly call escalation as concrete evidence of "winning" anything; you've won when you no longer have to fight, there's no price for just showing up.
Yup, it's a balancing act and I'm not saying that you should never do multicores, just that it doesn't do to forget the actual performance of the system on the tasks that it's supposed to be running. N users on N cores sounds very good if none of those users need to go beyond the max speed of the cpu or their task multithreads beautifully. Sometimes though, you could with 1/N memory (assuming memory speed won't be a bottleneck) and an N-times faster cpu serve those N-users and only one would have to wait for the same time it would take on an N core machine... it all depends on what you're doing.
When will people realize that not everything runs better on more cores, especially stuff that's highly dynamic say like a database query which is effectively a long sequence of conditionals. You talk to people and the first thing they ask is "yeah, but how many cores does it have"... it's like multithreading didn't exist until dualcore cpus.
A cpu has a limited amount of processing power; some things you can only do in sequence ergo you can't do them in parallel ergo you're limited by the core-speed ergo you're fucked with 16 core 1GHz machine against a 1 core 2GHz machine.
Something like this could be a quick replace for spysatellites since the technology to destroy/disable satellites with missiles and lasers has become more of an issue. Satellites aren't that maneuverable after all and tracking them due to their repetitive orbit isn't that difficult.
Would be cool if you could put stuff like this in orbit with a cannon, but I guess that's still a long way off.
The trojan war was a double entendre; sure it started of as an expedition to retrieve Helen, but inexplicably a horse was involved in a way which can only be described as a Freudian slip.
I must say that I support your point of view but your suggestion would go against the "American free spirit" and stifle innovation at the same time. We should look for a better solution.
Ah, so a United Nations Bus would be out of the question... dang.
I'm the opposite, whenever I start to design anything I automatically go for pen and paper. Used to have horrendous handwriting but I just stuck with it and now it's intelligible enough that I may actually show it to other people.
Couldn't be bothered as a kid to learn it properly cause my writing was worse than others kids' and I just thought that's how it's going to be. Later on I thought what the hell; my writing will be what it will be, it's not intended to please anyone else. Started using ballpoint pens for everything (easier to write with) and wasting a lot of paper instead.
Does the cult of Facebook even allow you to remove your account these days? But I understand your sentiment; I personally removed any and all traces of Red Hot Chili Peppers in my music collection after hearing they sued Showtime's Californication for the rights to the name, stating that all the ill-gotten gains from use of the name should be given to them.
All completely irrelevant since in the US some americans call their president "a muslim that's going to destroy america" and they're never arrested which is going much further then this journalist did.
You got it backwards, if they call themselves muslims disgruntled with the US they get arrested and they just vanish without a trace. Hypocrisy is the fact that Iran has been fucked over by both the Brits and the US both via coups/wars and now they both sit in judgement of Iran's every move.
Nokia sold basic everyday western technology to Iran and quoting the older article:
"If you sell networks, you also, intrinsically, sell the capability to intercept any communication that runs over them," said Mr. Roome.
This whole issue reminds me of a great public service announcement where a man complains on the toilet that "mother never told me there'd be this stink". The point of the ad was to convey the fact that when winter comes, there'll be ice on the road so you can't say you were surprised. When you use the internet, phone or whatever, you have to expect that the government can intercept your communication.
This is more like having a factor which influences the probabilities of the different sides of the dice... you could say things just got even more dicier.
Using the word "socialist" does have a funny ring to it when the key protagonists have been people like Nixon, Reagan and Bush senior... though to think of it, I guess they'd be the ones who'd be happy to have a program that combines guns with keeping your children safe.
I do some OpenGL coding and ATI has just always seemed like it doesn't really give a damn about the specs; things may or may not work as specified and I've had new drivers break things that used to work. Last I tried it their GLSL implementation (especially linking objects) was a complete joke and probably still is. Since OpenGL is do or die for Linux 3d I'd like to know how does the Open-Source stuff fair on this front?
Okay, this is a bit anecdotal but I'll pass it on anyway. I once had a computer on which you could "hear" on the speakers when you were moving the mouse; a frustrating thing to say the least to hear a small clicking sound all the time. The problem was actually caused by the microphone's output not being muted and no, I did not own or use a microphone at time.
If sata cables are affecting anything it's on the analog side of course and could still be any number of things. That said, I think about 90% of the people here are jumping the gun.
The automobile is far more of a ball-and-chain than an independence-granting device.
True, also many only consider the direct cost of gasoline when they compare their car to other modes of transport. Somehow things like the price of parking, maintenance, insurance and the fact that you had to buy the thing in the first place doesn't get into it at all.

They work by slowing down a virus's reproductive rate to the point where the body's defenses gain the advantage.
If something like this could be used against viral videos, I just might start using social media.

are they highspeed rails? Nope. So, irrelevant, really.
Good point, Allah wouldn't look too kindly to speeding whilst martyring yourself.
Her brother is also full of life although he protests about treats like McDonalds etc.
I'm a bit perplexed at this comment, I thought that McDonalds had a fairly large gluten free menu though I'm not a celiac myself.

It's the Italian take on things; if the chariot wins, it's beautiful. Probably why they've never won a war or mass-produced a decent car (30 Rock).
