They're letting people write specific device support into low level wince code. Plus there's still probably an NDA on giving the code to third parties ("no extra cost" doesn't mean no cost). Also, will there be a testing program for altered copies of wince? Will they be marketable as Wince, or will they need to be labelled as different? Incompatibilities could arise, and Wince could theoretically become a diluted trademark.
Without even considering end-user benefits, the extreme space-saving efforts still make sense. Sure, google might serve 9k of data to each user. But if they were serving 10k instead, and they got 200 million hits a day, that's 200GB of bandwidth saved daily. And, whoever you get your connection from, that's a few bucks . . .
I see on google, that various quantum computer simulators are available. Would this make the actual machines emulators of the simulators when they're built? Between the now and lators, I'm a bit confused . . .
This seems to indicate otherwise. The indirect phone taps use a coil placed at a fixed point next to a line allowing AC signals to be detected. It's similar to a regular AM loop antenna which can pick up AC signals without moving.
For the bike, the movement of the loop isn't doing anything, but the fact that the current is time-varying means the magnetic field is time-varying. Thus the flux is non-zero.
If the american sells the idea (ie a book), then he should attribute it to the hungarian. The attribution is payment (and if its a completely unoriginal book, money should go with the attribution, like Feynman's Lectures). But if he uses the hungarian idea (like a mechanic uses a wrench), he's ok. Same as using compilers, but not paying Intel to sell the compiled code. Once you get into theory and algorithms, unless you patent your idea it has no market value. The value is in the implementation or the teaching materials which are still fully marketable and traceable to their origin.
What about software on a CD? Does it matter where the CD was made? If a CD is made in Hungary with American music, the US gov't still gets PO'd. So if a CD is made in the US with Hungarian software it should still be taxable. And what's the difference between a CD and a hard drive? One's optical and isn't bolting to the rest of the hardware. So a download onto a hard drive should be taxable too.
Try call waiting, or *52. The actual number might vary by the phone comapany, but the gist of it is that once the caller has hung up you immediately hit *52 and get a message saying the number has been logged. That can then be used as evidence in court.
Could be serious overkill though. The intended use is for stalkers and rapists.
I agree Line6 amps sound about a thousand times better. But after about 0.32 seconds, I went and gat a real tube amp. Later I got a brand new SG. Then a Musicman bass. And I still spent less money than I would have if I got the Line6.
On a side note, I'd much rather get decent wah modelling. Why does all modern wah (analog or digital) sound like dog shit when compared to a really old wah (one of those 2 square foot ones)? I know the old inductors used non-linear cores, I know that was a large factor in the response. I know other people know this. But I don't know why nobody makes a good wah wah!
And as to the Variax being "plug and play", the Roland synth system is available factory-installed on a multitude of guitars, including Fenders.
This type of action (redirecting, rather than disconnecting websites) could be viewed as deceptive. It implies to an uninformed visitor that the previous owner currently accepts the opinions of their former opponents as valid. This is an orwellian distortion of message up with which I would not put. If my site were bluntly pointed at some hypothetical pro-death penalty site against which I may or may not have committed hypothetical libel and slander, I would go berserk.
"Instead, sales remained at the same level and support costs went up!"
You're comparing a unitless percentage to a dollar amount. There is a chance that more people bought tax preperation software this year. That would mean 69.3% of the market could be a number bigger than last year's 69.3% of the market. The possible increase has a chance of being bigger than the increased support costs. I'm not sure whether you're right or not, but your reasoning is inconclusive.
Japan also has several semiconductor fabrication plants. These plants require really really low amounts of vibrations to get profitable yields. The foundations for these things are typically 1-2 miles deep, such that they are anchored in the second layer of the earth's crust. And then there's all sorts of vibration damping material everywhere. I figure the gravitational wave detectors use some similar methods, only more so. Besides, all they have to isolate is their laser source and detectors, not the whole vacuum chamber.
And there's this page on the site to which you linked.
Wonder how effective it would be as a solar heating surface ? That probably depends on the specific heat of the material.
I myself wonder how physically resilient this material is, what it's impedance is, and whether it isn't extremely similar the blackbird surface material.
I think it's funny that scientists testing long range sonar transmission (for temperature measurements) need all sorts of permits, while whaling boats don't. When the whaling boats drive by (the source or the receiver), they completely drown out the test sounds.
Also (just FYI) there is a difference between decibels in and out of water. Levels of tolerability don't overlap. See google for more.
Try the multiplatform OSG. It's a level of abstraction up from opengl, but scene graphs are easier to understand and organize. There are many examples to start with, and the mailing list is quick to respond to support needs. If you ever want to delve deeper into opengl, osg does not get in the way; vertex shaders are fairly straightforward. Even so, it's LGPL, so you could modify the core code too if it ever suited you. Finally there are a dozen or so loaders included, so you can put pretty models into your scene without much experience.
Also, read opengl.org every few days. They post many good resources from tutorials to example apps.
Yeah, but the spec also says (in 4.2.2 #2) that a/d and d/a should be chosen with particular care. And right below that it says that each device should limit jitter to within 80 picosec. Besides, a good customer plays stuff before buying, and if it sounds worse than a $100 stratocaster replica, there will be no consideration given to any MaGiC products.
Then think of their design as a back button for "choose your own adventure books". So if you want to easily flip between having jumped through the dimensional portal and having gone to look for your missing friend you don't have to reread the original forking page.
This was the greatest game as a kid! The multiplayer was customizable, so you could take out or leave in the cheap weapons. The gameplay was unbelievably responsive compared to Doom 2. It was totally immersive.
And the dum-dum rocket launcher was great fun if you could get it first:). I feel like a kid in a candy store again!
There was this program which created a cute little cat who would chase your mouse around on your screen's background. That alone put it light years beyond any modern OS.
Finally! Us short folk will get the same amount of fabric per rod. And my friends can help me build an arc since we'll be able to agree on the size of a cubit! Then again, if one thinks about it, there's something very utilitarian in measurement based on human dimension. Good for guesstimations.
"And sometimes these fees amount to far more than a few dollars or cents. At Virginia's George Mason University, for example, in-state undergraduates pay $2,375 in tuition -- plus an additional 60 percent, or $1,416, in fees."
I go to GMU, and I'm not sure who pays that much extra. Other than the fact that we get less budget assistance than UVA or Va. Tech, and as a consequence pay more tuition than either, I'm not sure what these fees are. I do know, I've never paid that much extra myself.
Maybe they mean housing, but it should cost a lot at a former commuter school that is trying to build as many dorms as it can as fast as it can (plus it's optional for all students). Maybe it's the activity fee ($50) or the meal plans (non-mandatory for everyone but on-campus freshmen-juniors). Might be the lab fees (I'm an EE, so I don't think my experience is representative. We have labs with many easily destroyable parts:)
Suffice to say, despite this damning pdf, I'm still not sure.

They could lotto off their faces after they die! That'd be the charity benefit to top all charity benefits.
As for biometrics, unless they change the underlying bone structure, shouldn't they still work (Other than skin color of course)?
Would it record reality or my distorted perception thereof?
