Some of the viewing calculators suggest that to really pick out every detail, a 65 inch 1080p TV needs to viewed from no more than 8.8 feet away.
The whole point of 4k is to let the set dominate ones vision without seeing jaggies, or at the very least, the nagging suspicion that the picture is not as sharp as in real life. It is possible that this visual domination is undesirable.

If anamorphic lenses were perfect, this would be an obvious failing, but I'm not so sure that an anamorphic projection of a unmatted 4k image would be that superior.
I believe the prevailing line among the die hard Oklahoma bombing defenders is that the daycare center was the moral equivalent of a human shield, instead of, well, an employee benefit.
Remember that most of the ISS wasn't built by the US.
Are you kidding? 5 Russian modules 7 US modules 2 Japanese modules 1 European module
NASA also built the Integrated Truss Structure, which provides most of the power to the station. In terms of mass dragged up into orbit, the shuttle did a lot more work than Russia's rockets. 257038 kilograms on the shuttle vs 49624 kilograms on russian craft. Sure, Nauka's going up soon, but it's only 20300 kg.
"The Russian segment can exist independently from the American one,” Rogozin said. “The U.S. one cannot."
The Russian boosted segments-- Zarya, Zvezda, Poisk Pirs total about 45,000 kg
The US boosted segments--mostly trusses, laboratories, docking modules, etc total 240,000 kg...
Now, the US paid for Zarya (the very module that enables Rogozin to claim operational independence) and the Europeans and the Japanese and the Canadians paid for various components that were lifted by NASA's shuttles. , but I'm thinking that the Russian ISS will be very much a Rump ISS.
After NASA retired the Space Shuttle in 2011, the Russian Soyuz became the only vehicle capable of transporting crew to the ISS. Between 2006 and 2008, NASA purchased one seat per year. Beginning in 2009, NASA started purchasing six seats per year. The price per seat has increased over the years from $22 million in 2006, to $25 million in 2010, to $28 million in the first half of 2011. During the second half of 2011, the price per seat jumped to $43 million.4 The price has continued to increase. For example, the price of purchased seats for launches in 2014 and 2015 are $55.6 million and $60 million, respectively. In April 2013, NASA signed another deal with Russia valued at $424 million for six additional seats to carry NASA astronauts to the Station during 2016 through June 2017, and the price per seat has increased to $71 million.
NASA's Earth Observing System produces a lot of data. NASA's landsat program began in the early 1970s, so the notion of launching satellites to observe the earth's surface is not especially new.
Well, the Itar-TASS article repeats this phrase twice:
He did not rule out the drone could have been used for other purposes, including unlawful actions in Russia’s territory.
The Kaliningrad border service department is checking whether the drone could have been used for purposes other than cigarette smuggling, including unlawful actions in Russian territory.
Obviously the notion of "unlawful actions in Russian territory" is an important one, but the Russian Foreign ministry isn't quite sure how to spin this one. We'll know more later, perhaps in the days leading up to the elections in Ukraine.
I believe he is referring to a KVM switch, which would allow Martin to do his email, his taxes, and his writing all in the same room, at the same desk.
And I am SO happy that the Library of Congress is spending lots of taxpayer money studying this problem.
The Library of Congress has millions upon millions of physical artifacts, including CDs, books, newspapers, films, vinyl records, and tapes. Many of those physical artifacts contain information that can't be found anywhere else in the world. It is morally obligated to preserve them so that the information can be used by future generations. It is possible to transcribe some of this information into digital formats, but the collection is too vast to not worry about preservation. Additionally, methods of transcription are not always faithful to the original, and contain errors of their own.
For instance, many of the books at the BNF's Gallica project are comparatively low resolution. While useful to non-Parisians, the availability of digital copies does not justify the destruction or neglect of the physical volumes. Additionally, large scale imaging projects may include pictures of thumbs, pictures of fold out plates in their folded states, missing pages, or distorted and illegible text. Until the digital copies have been proofread, the paper originals are still a valuable backup.
Understanding exactly how CDs degrade and what technologies would best preserve them is exactly what a responsible archive would strive to do.
My guess is that he or she was developing an app for fellow doctors, and was running a backend on a personally owned server for testing purposes. When app development was complete, the physician reconfigured this machine to work on other projects, but neglected to scrub it of HIPAA data, or access rights to this data.
The computer was then opened up to the outer world for another project that didn't involve patient data.-- google searched the machine, and found the data trove.
But perhaps I'm reading too much into "The investigation revealed that the breach was caused when a physician employed by CU who developed applications for both NYP and CU attempted to deactivate a personally-owned computer server on the network containing NYP patient ePHI. Because of a lack of technical safeguards, deactivation of the server resulted in ePHI being accessible on internet search engines. "

Two DVDs. If you wanted to play an HDDVD disc on the XBox 360, you had to buy the drive.
But yes, HDDVDs could only store 15 GB per layer, versus 25 GB per layer for Bluray. However, early Blurays were by and large single layer, with LPCM sound and MPEG2 video, because Sony hadn't worked out all the kinks.

Scientific journals frown on fraud. Of course, manned missions tend to produce less important data than unmanned ones
Still, the FY 2015 request is 3.051 billion for the ISS.
