Given that a flight from Heathrow to JFK and back can be swung for 348 (about $650), and assuming that you can avoid nosy customs agents, it might well be tempting.
Movie theaters have considerably higher budgets to work with. The effectiveness of a phantom center diminishes with the size of the screen. Most households in the 1980s had rather small televisions, so the center channel was deemed expendable. When it first came out, Pro-Logic was expensive to produce.
Does anyone know how Dolby Surround holds up to MP3 compression? I'm guessing that Joint Stereo would ruin the effect.
Technically, that shortcut turns on both grayscale and invert modes. You can turn on "Invert Color" separately, but that inverts all the colors-- so that green becomes pink, orange becomes blue...
Obviously you've never installed something on a linux box using the command line. If it doesn't work on the first go (for whatever reason) you are going to be doing a lot of prowling through less-than-helpful text, line at a time. When some of it reads along the lines of:
Hell, you have to put up with that (x20) on a successful compile, much less an unsuccessful one.
Put up with what? I'd rather the compiler make much ado about nothing than have the build silently fail. And even the most pedantic of compiler crud can be useful.
For instance, I can tell from your message that you're trying to compile a program on a G4 Macintosh, running MacOSX, not linux. You're also running an out of date version of hdf5...
Cray used FC-74 as a coolant. It's since been replaced by FC-77 which is mostly perfluoroctane. 3m implies in its msds that FC77 is a bit of a hodgepodge of various perfluorocarbons. The FDA frowns on medical use of such oleos, and will often demand that each isomer be tested separately...
There are some citations for perfluoroctane in pubmed, but most are of animal studies. The "blood plasma substitute" you're probably thinking of is either Fluosol (perfluorodecalin) or Oxygent (perfluorooctyl bromide).
The Cray 2 used FC 74 fluorinert, which is no longer produced by 3m. It is apparently identical to FC77, which is described on the msds as "PERFLUORO COMPOUNDS, (PRIMARILY COMPOUNDS WITH 8 CARBONS)". Nice and vague.
Flourinert was origionally developed as an artificial plasma substitute for heart surgery.
Um, I'm going to have to ask for your source. After all, immersion cooling was an accepted, if not exactly prevalent method of thermal transfer. Some early IBM computers were oil cooled. PCBs were used to cool electrical transformers. 3M's flourinert was most likely marketed for a similar purpose.
Yes, mammals can breathe oxygenated perfluorocarbon fluid, but the experience is likely to fatal unless the perfluorocarbon has the right vapor pressure and is highly purified. In any case, the medical function of fluorocarbons is oxygen tranport, not plasma replacement.
The CRAY2 was cooled by FC74. To my knowledge, this particular chemical was not used for medical applications.
Interesting. 1998: Computer doesn't come with a Windows 98 CD. Product is most likely counterfeit. Today: Computer doesn't come with a Windows XP CD. Product is most likely genuine-- but if you want the CD, you might have to swing by Kazaa and grab an ISO...
Apparently, that siren was capable of 189 db, measured at the "throat".
CHOPPED AIR: The world's loudest siren. "We guarantee 138 db at 100 ft. from throat", he said. "Engine is 180 hp Chrysler V-8 industrial. The American Blower Corp. supplied the parts for the compressor and Chrysler machined it. We guarantee 189 db at the throat. We guarantee a radius of 2 miles (4 mile radius in favorable conditions)". Siren weighs 8,000 lbs and costs $5,500.

The Journal started using stippled portraits, or hedcuts in 1979. Apparently, they remind readers of currency or engraved stock certificates. Although the style can be approximated with image filters, the WSJ's hedcuts are hand drawn.
Are any of Apple's APIs popular in the schools? The AppKit is easy to use, but, having graduated from high school after the whole graphing calculator craze, I must confess I don't know much about the pedagogical effects of teaching simulation building to students.

That was a clear cut case of self defense. HAL knew that Dave would attempt to disconnect him, which would have doomed the mission.
Further on into the gamespy article, there's this gem.
China's government complained that the film falsely portrayed China as "a country with no government and overrun by secret societies," according to ABC News. The BBC reported that same month that a Chinese official said, "After watching the movie, I feel that the westerners have made their presentation of China with malicious intention.... The movie does not understand Chinese culture. It does not understand China's security situation. In China there cannot be secret societies."
I think I understand China's "security situation" quite well, thank you. China is paranoid. I just don't care.

No, these kernels are affected. My guess is that kernels 2.2.26, 2.4.25. and 2.6.3 will be effected. The effect of a vulnerability is usually a bugfix release, as an unpatched kernel negatively affects security.
what's so funny about this? On MacOSX, you drag the files you want to back up to the CDR icon, and then you drag the CDR to the burn icon on the dock to burn it. Couldn't be simpler.
It might have been more effective had the authors observed standard grammatical principles. After all, they are pretending to represent a institution of higher learning.

"Pro Logic", among other things, adds a center channel to "Dolby Surround". source
