And, don't forget the iHP-120 series that just came out.
Some features you missed:
Records radio, Plays MP3, WMA, ASF, WAV and OGG and any format that they decide to make a codec for in the future, Plug it in, and it shows up as a drive in windows, and, has a nifty remote for easy manipulation.
Why doesn't he just fix the code? I can tell a difference between 60 fps and higher. It's easy to test, just set your refresh rate to 60 Hz and see if you can see nice flickering.
And god was it awsome. the detail was amazing, and everything looked more lifelike. I was watching matrix on a rip aafterwords, and watch the previews, and everything seems to look much more computerized on non imax. i realy enjoyed watching it for the first time (and without watching any previews) in the imax. It was worth every penny of the $31 that it cost (those bulbs they use cost like $5000 and only last for couple thousand hours).
but...it doesn't seem like erasing 160,000 emails would amount to that many millions of dollars...they must have expensive sys admins (maybe expensive users, since the emails would go to them).
hahah...damn...I botched accelerate...twice! L is next to R, and I was sitting strange on my bed with my laptop in the dark, and didn't watch what was typing. I know...excuses excuses.
I'm only slightly faster than I was on qwerty...but, dvorak is MUCH more comfortable for me. There are problems with it when you have very cold hands though.:)
He said it has the same accereration, not the same top speed:) In space, the ion engine should be able to accerelate to a much higher speed than 21mph.
Looking at the first image caption...it's amazing that these plants grow a sort of exoskeleton that, from what I can see, exactly resembles a planter pot. Maybe these plants can be cross bread with other common domentic plants to give this feature.
Again, I think I'm visualising the "big bang" as a "big bang" of matter...just a ball (or whatever shape) of matter/energy with some amount of volume. It then expanded, increasing it's volume (relative to what it was before). So, outside the big bang would be a point that it would expand to a couple moments later.
I probably have some conceptual flaw that's keeping me from even slightly understanding. Even if you are considering the universe as only what was contained in the big bang...but if so, I would still think that you could have a measure of distance past this (for the stated reasons above).
>> Was space a result of the big bang or something? Was distance?
>Excactly. So, at one point in time, 10 miles from anywhere could mean 10 times through the universe and back to where you started through a universe with a mile diameter.
I find this hard to understand. Why wouldn't 10 miles be in the nothingness that is next to the big bang? Why would it have to be limited to within the bigbang/growing universe(?)?
Wouldn't these gravitational "wiggles" be caused by a change in mass density? Wouldn't that be the same as a gravity wave in a sense? Or can a gravitational wave be somewhat considered like being in the "far field" of an em wave, where the waves are their own entities, no longer effected by the source?
I'm confused. If it was seen 14billion light years away, then what created it? If the whole universe was hot like you mention, then wouldn't there not be a specific point that you are talking about? What would create that point?
Was space a result of the big bang or something? Was distance? If not, then what do you call the stuff 10 miles from the first moments of the big bang? I'm sure it would have a name, even if it were nothing.
Or, do you mean space, as in this definition? "The infinite extension of the three-dimensional region in which all matter exists." [dictionary.com].
And, I'm confused by this your quote, "The point is there was no space in which the explosion happened and neither was material." I do make the mistake you mentioned, that's all I've ever learned. If there was no material, then where did it come from? Are you assuming that the universe didn't exist before this one (as in, there wasn't a universe that collapsed before it)?
use some type of digital output like many soundcards have (spdif out), then use some digital input, say, spdif in on the same sound card, and record the data? Wouldn't this be a lossless digital copy? What about the "what you here" record option on the creative sblive cards (feasible if digital)? I don't think they are ever going to make a 'rip proof' cd.
i'm curriouse to know if there are any undiscovered creatures inside, even if it's jsut bacteria. hopefuly not any virus's (they tend to survive being frozen)!
The coolest that I ever used was a logitech mouse that vibrated.
it would allow different textures feels and stuff...very strange physical feedback. The coolest was the bouncy feedback. When you would go over the border of a form, it would do this bounce thing...it was awsome. wasn't mine though. The 'rough' texture was also cool.

I smell hardware radio for practically any common communication radio frequency!
iRiver iHP-120 does. so does Rio Karma.
use high speed playback...hello!?

Well, they could always just wrap their drugs in tinfoil, making the system useless. :p
With the monitor refresh test, I was just showing that the eyes can detect visual changes at 60 changes per second.
:)
But, I agree.
That's one of the reasons I love LCD's so much. Sure the pixel refresh is slow and blurs, but it sure is nice on the eyes for reading and whatnot.

Ship: Sir, we will be entering the atmosphere soon.
Enemy: Ready those water baloons!
Enemy2: Yes sir! (Boing)
Enemy2: Oh no, the giant rubber band broke!
Enemy: Looks like they got lucky today.
that was supposed to be $13 for the ticket price.

Such as Message Notification for Trillian and nice blinky light plugin for music in winamp.
Like I'll believe it has a use other than those...pfft.

Anything obviouse that I'm missing?
>"To speak of something as being '10 miles outside the Universe' is as meaningless as to speak of something being '10 miles north of the North Pole'."
So, the universe was only the space inside the big bang, and as it grew, the space within that?
Thanks for the good explanation :)
