Paper can be as reflective as it needs to be, but until it emits light, it won't be as bright as a CRT or LCD.
The value that I used for the LCD does seem a bit high. I used a number from a website that disscusses this issue. It seems that typical LCDs have a light-to-dark ratio of ~120.
If you keep speaking like that, peterdaly, then diff might become a circumvention device under the DMCA and thus, will be banned in the United States.
If you want to keep various GNU Tools such as diff, cat, cp, and ghex, then you have to hide the fact that they are usefull for anything other than taking up space. Otherwise we risk them becoming circumvention devices under the DMCA.
IMO, the major benefit that a LCD has over a printer is the light-to-dark ration. Photographs and prints typically have a light-to-dark brightness ratio (contrast?) of 20-1. A CRT monitor ups this ratio to ~35-1. Look at an amateur's online photogallery. The pictures look good, especially outdoor pictures with skys. That is because a light area in a CRT display's picture actually is 'lighted'. Unfortunately, the 'dark' areas on a CRT monitor are also lit up so you still aren't getting the highest light-to-dark ration.
An LCD display has 'lighted' light regions and the dark regions are actually dark (not lit from behind). This is the best of both worlds which is why LCDs have the highest light-to-dark ratio (250-1) and make for the best photo display terminals.
Be very wary of cheaper LCDs. They tend to fade after a while.
Free Axis & Allies board game (complete with all pieces) to the first email recieved at b_pretender@yahoo.com.
You must be in the NYC area so that I can deliver it to you or you can pick it up. I am serious about this. I'm moving and I hate to throw away such a fun board game.
I also have *many* materials science and engineering books that I will sell for very cheap. Email me if interested.
The use-door-as-a-shelf idea is a nice one. I found that none of the 'computer desks' fit my needs and I only have one monitor. All I wanted was a big flat desk that is very deep so that my monitor can sit right in front of me and the keyboard is on the same surface as the monitor. Any old-fashioned desk would be fine.
Instead, I'm stuck with all these lame 'computer-desks' that force me to put the keyboard in one spot and put the mousepad in another. BTW, there is never enough room for the large mousepads that I use for first-person shooter games.
I unsuccessfully searched for such a desk. Somebody told me about the door idea and somebody else mentioned folding tables. He has 3+ monitors set up in a nice position on folding buffet tables.
You have a point about if they don't contact you. My intention about sending the thank-you note is to do it right away (same day or next) so that they get it before they make the decisions.
For my current job (financial industry), they interviewed over a few weeks. I didn't hear back from them for about 3 weeks and then suddenly I got an offer. I wrote 5 different thank you notes to the 5 different interviewers, but I don't know if it made a difference.
Keep the note very short, but include the following three things... 1. Point out a strong point about you 2. Point out a strong point about the job 3. Say something pertaining to the interview so that they remember who you are. If you talked about Python with somebody, say something about Python.
Put all this together, don't forget to to make it flow and include the 'thank you' phrase, and send it to each person that you interviewed with. No email. Send it via post (if the post is still operational in your area). It becomes challenging, because you don't want to include the same form letter for each person that you interviewed with. Try and make each one a little different and personal.
Good Luck.
One example that I have, the director was one person who I interviewed with. She asked a lot of questions about my family and how I keep in touch with them over a long distance. I didn't say much about it during the interview, but in the thank-you note, I mentioned that I run a family news website. I said that it gave me knowledge about databases as well as keeps me in touch with my family (PHP-nuke for those who care). I even included the URL.
You really didn't need to put "(and many adults)" in parenthesis. Also, would *you* rather be placed on SafeSurf's banned list or would your name or IP address be placed on SafeSurf's banned list?
When the editors begin to show nice grammar and eloquent writing skills, then the masses will follow!!

Hey Katz,
Is the spoilage warning *really* necessary? I mean, you do write weekly movie reviews on Slashdot and the warning is always the same. In addition to that, the warning is nothing out of the ordinary for a typical movie review. We expect the plot to be disscussed without giving away too many details.
Sigh.
Sorry if this sounds too negative. I'm just anxious to see Monsters Inc., Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Would Slashdot please post a story or two regarding these three movies?
Anyways, here's the problem with the whole issue: (i) the contents of your site contain Sony copyrighted software which you are
copying and distributing in violation of Sony's rights; -- That sounds fair to me. He shouldn't be violating any copyrighting anything. Shut him down until he complies. (ii) your site provides the means to
circumvent the copy protection protocol of Sony's AIBO(tm) Memory Stick(tm) to allow access
to Sony AIBO-ware software; -- I have mixed views about if this is right or wrong, but this issue doesn't pertain to the DMCAA (according to the letter). (iii) you site promotes the distribution of your original
software such as "Disco AIBO", "AIBO Scope", "Bender AIBO", etc. which appear to have
been created by copying and decrypting Sony's software. -- It is my opinion that (a) he has the right to 'fairly use' the code as long as he does it personally, (b) Sony doesn't know that the programs were created by copying and decrypting the software. Sony would have a hard time supporting this argument in court. The Aibo isn't *that* complicated that it couldn't be easily reverse engineered.
However,
your site still contains information providing the means to circumvent AIBO-ware's copy
protection protocol constituting a violation of the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital
Mellennium Copyright Act. -- Ouch. I tell you how to build an atomic bomb, do I go to jail? I teach your karate... do I get in trouble when you beat somebody up? I teach you how to fly a plane. Do I get in trouble when...? You get my point. I disagree with this entire line of B.S.. Of course, IANAL, but my armchair law experience tells me that O.J. is guilty and this wouldn't stand up.
Hopefully, the isp won't force him to shut down and he will continue to provide Aibo users an experience. I'll be sitting here at my computer offering my opinion to the/. masses the next time there is an Aibo story....even if they don't ask.
It asks him to remove that long list of zip files. He should just claim that Sony violated the DMCAA by circumventing his encryption when they unzipped those files. Otherwise, how would they know what the zip archives contain?
Anything that large corporations do in lieu of government restrictions is good.
Kind of like quality MPAA movie ratings. My friend's Mormon church uses the MPAA rating system as the deciding factor about whether they should see movies or not (don't see R rated movies or worse). The MPAA quality obviously is fair and legit because small-budget movies such as Run Lola Run get an R rating for NO nudity and little violence, while big budget movies are rated PG-13 for tons of violence and/or sexual innuendos.
Allowing companies to maintain their own opt-out privacy standards (in lieu of government regulation) is obviously a good choice. We all opt for opt-out rather than opt-in (I don't remember opting for that decision at all). And when their databases of customer information get hacked it is better for the consumer.
Let's not forget the RIAAs music ratings system. It's so effective in liue of goverment regulation that I often get CDs with no sticker on them that contain tons of swearing (for less known bands) and I see little stickers on albums such as Liz Phair who only swear in 1 or 2 songs. This is better for me because I can peel off the stickers and stick them on my l337 computer speakers.
By the way, this post if very sarcastic and it makes damn little sense.

Semantically, that should be a meta-beowulf cluster of those.
