So, this thing is going to be obsessed with eBay and pr0n.
If Nomad was a copyrightable word (like the many made up words we see these days), Sega would have beaten Creative to it by a few years with there portable Genesis system.
I find some Shakespeare very funny. When we were reading Romeo and Juliet in English class in highschool, I chuckled out loud a few times. The kids in my class just looked at me funny.
Granted that the Amiga hardware was pretty impressive for it's time (the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale was still using one for titles and cuts in its video production stidio in 1996).
And the OS was also very well suited to the platform at that time too. I just don't see how pulling out an old OS and stuffing it on a palmtop can be a good thing. Surely there is another OS more suited for this use? PalmOS, mayhaps?
From how it sounds in the article, it seems like they just used this filter technology, because it already existed and would allow them to get to market quicker.
I too think that using different colored dyes in the capsules would be an ideal solution. Probally make for brighter colors, and would definatly present the ability to use the CYMK color model.
If the surface was truely changing color, then it would have to use the subtractive primary colors.
But from how it sounds, the light passes through a filter, and is either reflected by capsule behind it, if it is white, or the light is absorbed if the capsule is black.
If the capsule is white, the light is reflected back up through the filter. By grouping the additive primaries together (RGB) you then pick what combined wave lenghts are coming back to the eyes.
So it is still pretty much color LCD, with a reflective background, but now instead of making the pixels opaque to be black, you just turn off the reflection behind a the pixel.
Does anyone have any more information? Like refresh rate. How long does it take to turn one "page" into another?
I was impressed with the 300 dpi. But for true printed work, that is a little low, I have a 1200 color laser at my house now. But for a display that would be nice. Until I saw at the end, that in color because of the filters you are limited to 80 dpi.
I've seen several specials on the old silos on TV. I've thought about how cool it would be to live in one. But just about every show I see mentions how they leak water.
When I was at ISPCon in Orlando last year I was talking to a guy who said he knew someone who had bought one. He said, yes, they do leak, and pointed out, of course they do, they are below the water table.
That is a lot of basement sealer. I chuckled to myself, thinking about those basement sealing scams, where the people call your house and ask if your basement leaks, and then offer to come over for a no obligation inspection. If I lived in one of those leaky silos, I might just have to invite them over, just to get the estimate.

I guess Nevada has really loose/forward (take your pick) "moral" laws.
It seems that the majority of live adult sites in the US orginate out of NV.
An extra thought: If prostitution is legal employment in NV, could the state force wellfare mothers into prostitution if they couldn't find some other form of employment?
I think that the distance savings is so little because how often can you make a diagonal connection? Obviously it will have to be done on a different layer than the 2 points you are connecting. But that layer will have its own pathways already that will have to be worked around.
If you run every pathway at a diagonal you have just rotated the whole chip.
I wonder if alternating layers at 45 degrees from eachother could be helpful.
What is the problem with a shared ISA slot? Do you really have that many PCI cards?
I haven't seen a board for a long time that didn't have a shared ISA slot. Now, I'm glad to see the ISA slots going away totally. If we could just free up the IRQs from the PS/2 ports.

It seems it bases the matches on name and content on the page.
Try searching for cmdrtaco, I laughed my ass off at some of the stuff.

Probally because it does little more than server up static pages.
.dlls it ships with.
Sure there are chances for buffer overflows, but the code base is smaller than IIS and all the
So less features == less things to go wrong.

For $8,000 - $10,000 I'd like to see RGB lasers painting triplets on the backs of my eyes.
And I do mean eyeS, I want stereoscopic projectors so I can get 3D images.
Okay, I guess I'll wait a little longer.

I didn't even get the compile of 2.4.5 to finish. Died pretty early on in kernel/timer.c
Good thing I didn't put it on our production server (no I didn't really consider it).

How is one come about the term antichrist, if they only believe the old testament?

I don't know how to multiple the factors together but, "20% less 'wire', 10% faster, 20% less power and 30% better yields", isn't just 10%.
Perhaps this improvement will be required to meet Moore's Law.
