The choice wasn't between upgrading a TV to the new standard and not, it was between going to the cinema and staying home. In order differentiate their product, movie studios introduced widescreen, increased the use of color, and the movie theatres installed air conditioning.
The first widescreen movies were composed for 1.33:1 and then cropped...
Second for most 3D I would guess that HD resolution is pretty meaningless. Once you go to stereo systems all sorts of visual effects make things much less clear. When I want to watch a 3D movie I'm going for 3D not maximum resolution. DVD quality is going to be fine.
Pure speculation. When bluray geeks get to comparing the picture quality of various discs, animation always seems to end up on top, along with 2K and 4K digital films. You don't have to have a large precisely calibrated screen to see the difference. No grain to get in the way. No soft focus to get in the way. No art to get in the way.
Those are the sorts of films that get released in 3D. And those are the sorts of films that will get released on 3D Bluray.
No. It doesn't. It displays two terminals, each labeled "Terminal --bash". The options are "Active Process name, tty name, shell command name, settings name, dimensions, and command key".
Now, maybe I'm missing something, but would nice if the title could be set with the flexibility of bash's PS1.
There are indeed tasks that seem to require keeping ten xterms open, but wouldn't be a bit easier if they were labeled with more context than xterm(int)? Even pwd would help. (I debug some packages, and the package descriptions reside in one directory, the build trees are in yet another, and I usually invoke the build scripts from yet another xterm.)
(Here Expose shows its limitations-- you can't pick out a miniature xterm from sight alone.)
Sagan said that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".
Sagan was talking about claims that upend our understanding of the physical world based on the slimmest of evidence or even idle speculation. Alien Abductions, for instance. Hollow Earth theories. ESP. Does your theory necessarily involve a conspiracy?
On this Nova episode he discusses alien abduction.
NOVA: Could you please comment on the part of the quality of the evidence that is put forward by these so-called "abduction proponents."
SAGAN: Well, it's almost entirely anecdote. Someone says something happened to them...And, people can say anything. The fact that someone says something doesn't mean it's true. Doesn't mean they're lying, but it doesn't mean it's true.
To be taken seriously, you need physical evidence that can be examined at leisure by skeptical scientists: a scraping of the whole ship, and the discovery that it contains isotopic ratios that aren't present on earth, chemical elements form the so-called island of stability, very heavy elements that don't exist on earth. Or material of absolutely bizarre properties of many sorts—electrical conductivity or ductility. There are many things like that that would instantly give serious credence to an account.
But there's no scrapings, no interior photographs, no filched page from the captain's log book. All there are are stories. There are instances of disturbed soil, but I can disturb soil with a shovel. There are instances of people claiming to flash lights at UFOs and the UFOs flash back. But, pilots of airplanes can also flash back, especially if they think it would be a good joke to play on the UFO enthusiast. So, that does not constitute good evidence.
It's a peer reviewed general interest journal. The average scientist can afford a personal subscription, which cannot be said of Journal of Physics A--G (You may argue that you only need one or two of the parts, but that just further entrenches your specialization.)
The Wegman Report speculated that Mann, Bradley and Hughes were part of a self reinforcing closed social network that could have benefited from outside critics-- especially statisticians.
By publishing in general interest journals, climate researchers can theoretically attract serious, substantive criticism and collaboration from non-dendrochronologists.
Your analogy is suspect. Fahrenheit and Celsius "align" at just one point. However, the alignment of pre 1960 tree ring data and pre 1960 temperature is somewhat stronger than a mere intersection.
For example. Just for the sake of arguement lets say the average temperature remained constant at 70 degrees last century. When you run the numbers through their “fudge factor” you still get a hockey stick. Even a decline in temperatures would still result in a hockeystick. Way to hide the decline!
squares with reality. If the average temperature were 70 degrees,(158 F), we'd be dead.

Some of the de Mises articles remind me of The Money Programme
Robber Barons? You, sir, slander the good name of brilliant men like Jay Gould and Daniel Drew. How dare you!

irrational numbers aren't periodic.
Some local governments in the United States still calculate certain tax liabilities in Mills.
Thanks! I'll have to try it.
I know that. However, it would be more efficient if the "working directory" could be dynamically updated when I (or a script) used the "cd" command.
The titles of finder windows show the working directories, why not the titles of terminal windows?

I was referring to the almost total absence of graphics.
I've found that many applications which purport to support many different windowing schemes only support one well.
I thought that Linux users were supposed to react to the absence of choice by coding their own.
Judging by the screenshot, Ion appeals to a specific type of eccentric.
I take it that you don't have a 30 inch wide screen monitor.
A excessively wide page is hard to read.

BTW, how's Nature Physics?
notable physics papers in Nature. A short list. Perhaps Einstein preferred to write in German.
So coral growth rings, ice core samples, and sediment records are right out?
The Nobel Prize in Economics, like the science Prizes, is also significantly more impressive than the Peace Prizes which Gore and Obama won.
If he were alive today, Alfred Nobel would beg to differ. He's not, of course, which may help explain why the Bank of Sweden got it's way.
Your analogy is suspect. Fahrenheit and Celsius "align" at just one point. However, the alignment of pre 1960 tree ring data and pre 1960 temperature is somewhat stronger than a mere intersection.
How do you people find the time to watch silly videos? Is there an accurate transcript? With still images? Perhaps a normal web page?
Oh look! There's an open source clone. I'm afraid your prayers will go on unanswered.
grep? grep only works if you know what you're looking for.
I'm not sure that the comment
