When you consider that first class plane tickets for a couple departing from Montreal(YUL) to Sydney(SYD) cost between 30k - 45k CAN. Check out Expedia for details.
26k USD to go in space seems like a bargain to me!
Can anyone out there actually tell the difference between 60 and 200 fps?
Huh... 140 fps is the diference.
Is this a catch question or something?;-)

IMO you don't go to any public library in the first place. At mine, if you can't find the book you are looking for and you can supply them it's isbn then they will buy it for you. They even use http://www.addall.com to find out where they can buy it for the cheapest price in the world (shiping included).
I just got "Real World Bryce 4 from Susan a. Kitchens and Victor Gavenda". This is great because I get to used it for 3 full weeks before I have to bring it back. And chances are nobody will know about this acquisition for a while so I get to re-use it for another 3 weeks;-) When I will be done with it, I'll ask them for another book they prolly don't have (Like poser and OpenGL books for instance) and they will have it within 4 weeks.
This is a pretty good system and I use it alot.
I guess your going to need a parachute too! Imagine a bunch of city bus like these! You have to think about all this. What if your engine runs out of gas? Or my granpa drunk a saturday night...
The way to go is in magnetic field devices I think, this seems too much 60's for this milenium.
It's not because they don't agree with you that you should be allowed to download all the fucking mp3's you want for free, that you should forfeit your right to vote.
There is a much bigger picture that you are missing.
If you don't vote, then they win. Who wins? The big corporations who are expecting you to stay home like the loser you are and let them and their minions continue to dictate what the future of the country will be.
Alone you cannot fight them, united with your votes, you will make a difference.
That way, if we detect the Troll Gene in them or in their families background, we would know they have 50% chance of suffering from the First Post syndrome and the like. If they don't disclose that information, we could refuse to give them access to the comments.
Assume we spot one that's heading straight towards us on a crash course: how fast can whip up some tactical nuclear weapons, put them on a rocket and fire them towards the rock?
Actually Newton explains it pretty well with this:
Force = mass x speed
So there you have it, the bigger the mass or speed, the more nukes your going to need to match the necessery force to stop it. So the real question here is how big of an asteroid can we actually stop?
<rant>
It's always funny to see them lie like that. I was watching Larry King on CNN the other night and he interviewed some fsck from the label and the movie producer of Show Girls. Everyone agreed that goverment censorship was bad, that without free speech great movies could never have been made, blah, blah... and then they go on to ask that the major contributor boycott the campaing finacement off the democrats or give much less, to show Gore-Libermann that they don't support their censorship plan. For sure they had all the time needed to talk about what they wanted.
Then they turn around, they sue 2600, they sue everyone who wants to express themselves or who dares to place/talk about DeCSS on their websites, they treaten ISP, they treaten my University with legal action, they almost got me kicked out and they even have the guts to try to take away my fair use right for the music and movies I already overpaid?

I recommend this to everyone who is open minded. If you have the chance to get a book of Albert Jacquard, read it, it will literally open your eyes.
(Albert Jacquard is a french genetician, mathematician & philosopher who concluded (overly simplified, IANAP) that we are like the internet, a bunch of nodes making links to each other and when we die, the net still lives on, but our links simply disapear.)
This is like when ABC's 60 minutes wanted to air the story about the guy who leaked the really bad stuff about what the cigarettes cartel were doing. They said to the reporter that they wont air it because of the NDA the guy signed and if they did air it, they would probably end up beign owned by the cartel after a multi-billion dollars lawsuit. Now I don't know about yahoo, or the employe, but he surelly signed NDA for the cubes. And with a guy like Jobs as head of apple, You can be sure he will pursue and sue this into oblivion, even if he destroy apples image along the way.
I did not say this guy is right about giving up his source, on the contrary he's a fucking slime. But when big lawsuit are raised and lost of cash and implication arise, you can be sure that there is lots of back stabbing going on on both sides of this.
What if the reporter gave him his word he would not talk to preserve his anonimity and finally changed his mind when facing the fact that he might go to jail for contempt with the court (and possibly lose his job) for not revealing the name of his source for such a lame thing as a cube revelation?
Yeah, I know, but they confuse my web site with my comments.(There was already a joke about sex as #1 so no need to be redundant.) I tought the newsgroups were used for lots of *real* topic , (like people trying to keep up with the ones they have'nt seen for so long since high school). I know I have'nt keep up with them and my school was to lame to keep any records of any kind. Now that I am about to finish college, I really wonder what all those people do now. So I was disapointed not to see a "prom" or *graduation reunion* newsgroup way back then. IF I would have been there then, for sure I would have made one!
It is much more likely that they will have a bill passed in congress that will make it law to filter out music a la napster and make sure that tunes can't be exchanged without use of their encrypted proprietary format. How hard would it be to force the oems to have it implemented by default and/or have in bult-in the os? Further more making it illegal to sell an OS in the USA without it. (Don't forget GWB is likely to *buy/win* the election)
Don't give me the DeCSS exemple because until the DMCA is killed by the Supreme Court (it will take a while) very soon people will likely go to jail when the provision about criminalising the act of *breaking the encryption scheme* will go into effect.
Don't worry, it's not after your curent machine he is comming for, it's after the next one you'll buy with the cool feature and new hardware you'll want to have in 3, 5 years from now. And by that time there will be DMCA laws all over the place to take away even more rights from us.
I can't wait to see this happening after the election. I am sure this is what he means.

Yes, I understand that, but my point is that passing made up video & imagery as "the real thing" is not new. The tools changes, yes, but the purpose is the same.
"I doubt that those WWI films would hold up in court too..."
<flamebait> If you get a judge like Kaplan, you bet they would.... </flamebait>
No but seriously, these movies where depicted and sold on Tv as the real thing, "genuine footage never seen before". Up until a litle while ago, all this was classified (how they were captured on video).
"The only reason video evidence has had some credibility is that, until now, they have been hard to falsify."
Your kidding right? 99% of the first world war I imagery you see on TV even today was completely made in studios in New York and London. The reason is simple, it would not sell! To show really tiny silhouettes moving in a field was . People needed drama. See

The greatest WWI forge of all time is that private who get killed as he raises his head to get out of the trench to go charge the germans And you see him fall down dead.
I agree tought that the net is very good at this from Fake nasa pictures http://www.terminator3armageddon.com/conspira/mars fake.html to some Cia-Nazi conspiracy theoriest here http://www.eaglehost.com/omega/omega.txt
At the end, the truth is : WE WERE NOT THERE and therefor we cannot trully take it for granted.
