"Airport Monitoring of Travellers via Blackberry". No, actually. Sorry to be pedantic, but this is LEOs with access to a database via a Blackberry. Okay, it makes things a little more accessible....but it's hardly Blackberry's on the lose!
""Apple has extended the repair program to widen the serial # range yet again for iBooks experiencing the dreaded, dreaded (and did I say dreaded?) video problems. It now includes serial #s up to the UV342 range (which, sadly, mine is in.. here I thought I finally got one that would stay with me for awhile, sigh)."
Kinda sucks to have to RMA, but at least Apple are doing it, eh? I can't think of many personal computer manufacturers who have done such decent pseudo-recalls.
I thought that this sort of thing was being frowned upon by the U.S. military in that part of the world? Just like the camera phone/email fiasco in Iraq?
I think part of the problem is that to do DVI switching at high bandwidth *properly* you need to implement something a bit more than a passive design (i.e. using proper PHYs, etc).
I've looked at switching DVI myself with FPGAs and it's not easy.
Teeth are occassionally 'grown' in other areas of the body, most notably in women who have fibrous cysts. Not unusual at all to have them removed and they contain hair or teeth due to weird DNA foul-ups.
It was a reference to, when as kids, we'd write secret messages that could be "decoded" with a mirror;-)
I understand entanglement, mainly thanks to "Entanglement" by Amir. D. Aczel...decent book for those wanting to understand quantum mechanics without reading anything too dry.
Even if he'd had the GM block to throw in there, there are many, many compelling reasons to go with the WRX engine...most notably it's weight, reliability, and ability to be very well tuned.
Also, for those posting about Subaru engine power: 227 for the stock WRX, 300 for the WRX STi powerplant.
Researchers have just discovered the quantum cryptography can be "broken" by viewing the stream of photons in a mirror. Scientists are naturally rather embarassed by this.
I know that the BBC is somewhat of an enigma in broadcasting compared to what we're used to in North America (although some would argue networks like PBS and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation are somewhat similar)....but I can't help think how utterly cool it is the BBC does this sort of thing. Progressive (no pun intended) stuff like putting their achives online is also really damn cool...not to mention the fact they have *gobs* of content that a traditional broadcaster wouldn't have (I've been taking Welsh language lessons courtesy of the BBC!).
I guarantee the Chinese will have a rice-powered rocket within 2 years, a restaurant on the moon within 5, and 2 billion of their offspring on Mars within 10.;-)
Not least to mention that the gecko foot hairs are almost nano-scale and it's partly the immense surface area that creates the adhesion via nano-scale surface tension.
"FPGA's with enough gates to actually do this kind of thing cost a heck of a lot more than 12K"
*cough*
Actually, the advantage of using FPGAs over ASICs would pertain to reconfigurable computing.
Send me a link to an FPGA devise that costs more than 12K:-p I design FPGA stuff and am curious to see which vendor is offering devices in that price range;-)
I somehow doubt that this company actually designed and fabbed a 'real' chip....I somewhat suspect that the rendering chip might actually be an FPGA. Anyone know for sure?

Anyone know of firmware replacement sets for the WRV56G (the VPN and cuter looking version of the WRT).

These guys are making some seriously cool progress. Seems to be very professionally handled, too.

The 200,000ft shots of the curvature of the Earth sure are sweet. Almost feel dizzy looking at them
Well done to Scaled Composites.

I guess the lack of production is why PBS carries so many British TV shows ;-)

I'm not sure the CBC (Candian Broadcasting Corporation) has R&D, either. I think they just have foul-mouthed hockey show presenters

TV: continuous tones, smooth (i.e.) slow transitions, discrete pixels
Monitor: clearly defined, sharp, ability to invididually see a pixel.
Ipso facto: you're probably going to be disappointed trying to use a TV as a computer display.

I'd say this was a bit more complicated than your average identity theft, no?
