I'd have to say that Watts is not the most important thing in power supplies. The amount of Amps it can deliver on each rail is more important: http://shsc.info/PowerSupplyGuide/
I rode one of these at COSI (in columbus, ohio) maybe 10 or 15 years ago. Pretty cool idea, but I always thought that turning at intersections would be kinda hard....
No, a FLASH application is an application that is directly stored in the flash rom part of the TI's memory. You have to use the SDK, if i recall, to make these applications. As stated before, they have to be "signed" by TI in order to install them on a calculator.
well, there is alot more to it, and I dont' really want to go into the entire story. That was just an overview. I've run Seti in the Computer labs I have access to, and we did 600 in one day (that was a really nice day for us..:-D ) But the fact remains that some people do cheat, and there are many ways of doing it..
as a participant of the Seti@Home project, this has been happening for some time. For those familiar, check out the stats for Overclockers.com Seti Team, of which i'm a member (insert a "Crunch for us!" flag here). We've suspected our number 1 memeber of cheating, but we have no proof. His numbers as of late were usually 0, until a few of our other memebers caught up. His Work Unit production started being upwards 300 or 400 a day.
People tend to loose sight of the fact that Seti@Home is for scientific purposes, and get caught up in the statisitics of it all. I'm in to the statisitics, so i'll load more computers with the Seti@Home client, not cheat.
Yes, black holes are a point (that's called the singularity), but they're talking about the size of the event horizon, or point of no return. So this particular black hole has a mass of 2.6 to 3.7 million or whatever suns, but its event horizon is larger than the solar system.
With a black hole this big, you can actually cross the event horizon, and not be torn apart because the change in gravity over a certain distance (6 feet or so for your height) isn't great enough. Smaller black holes will rip you apart quicker though
Sounds alot like the scare about bringing back "moon bacteria" back when we first landed there. Now it seems funny to us, to think that bacteria would have been on the moon. But, you never know, i guess.
Yeah, we have one of those at my old highschool in the mathlab. They got it after I left, so I was dissapointed to say the least. Oh well. When I have stopped by, they were using it, and it seemed like a pretty cool thing. hm.. yeah.
Sure, it supports mulitple processors.. Just use a program like SetiDriver, and you can tell it how many WorkUnits you want to crunch simultaneously.
Though the client really is optimized for intel processors for the most part.
You mean "1 year" and ".9 year" to get here. cause A light year is a distance, not a time. So, um. Yeah. Agreeing with alot of the above, this will just decrease ping times. We still can't send information faster than c.
You can disable how Outlook opens MSN messenger automatically through Tools>Options. Somewhere around there, methinks. Just poke around a bit. I do agree, though, for more advanced users, it may feel like you are being pampered. But for people new to computers, it really brings it all together. MSN Explorer can bring email (if you have hotmail or msn account), multimedia, and the entire internet experience together in one big thing. I also liked the way Windows Media Player Plays dvds.
As for your Easy CD Creator 4, why not just run it under XP's Compatability mode? You can choose which operating system (95, 98, NT, and 2000) to run it under. It seems to work fine for me. Just right click on the program file or the shortcut, and change it. Goodluck!
Maybe it's because lightning wants to be perpendicular to the magnetic field lines of the earth. Therefore, toward the poles, the magnetic field lines are too "curvy" so that the lightning would be forced to go horizontal, resulting in it never being grounded. Who knows though, eh?
I too have the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card. Right now, i have on front and back Cambridge Soundworks FPS1800. They are actually quite nice. Hooked up to the versajack, I have an amp running two 8"s in a box and for sub, two 12"s in a bandpass filter box. Yes, the center and sub are made for cars stereo systems, but I pimp out my computer, not my car.
The FPS1800 gives good sound all around. My 12's give a nice bass thump, and the 8's make for a good center (although I had to put them behind me.....) Oh well, you can only do so much in a dorm room.
For the most part, I Rip my own CDs, for convinience. Though from time to time I may download a song or rip a friends CD as well.
As a consumer, though, I would dislike not being able to rip my own CD's to my computer. I don't want to search through a vast CD collection, then fumble around swapping CD's every hour or so. It makes for a cluttered desk. I could always go back to the old days when ripping a CD meant playing it and recording it off the computer's mixer with Windows Sound Recorder. Heh. Just my thoughts, though.
Zaks were great. Atollo also brought those to mind for me. Except Zaks are made by OhioArt, the same company that makes Etch-a-sketch. I don't think they make them anymore. Fortunately, i have two big bags worth of them!
LOTR is going to come out at christmas this year, The Two Towers next xmas, and Return of the King the following. It's been announced like this forever, so don't worry. It WILL come out.

A few things. HAL isn't IBM moved down one letter each. It's Hueristic ALgorithim. (yeah, I probably spelled it wrong). Clarke even states that in one of his books. Also, even though the book came out AFTER the movie, doesn't mean the book is based on the movie. Clarke and Kubric worked together on alot of it. The reason that Kubric used Jupiter instead of Clarke's Saturn is because the Special Effects department couldn't come up with a convicing Saturn in Kubric's mind. So there. TMA-ONE = NO MEAT? um. yeah, sure. Tycho Magnetic Anomoly. The first one, actually. There's a TMA-0 in his later books, on earth! hah! Read the books. Good books.

Cricket WAS named after the Cricket Wars, you know. Douglas Adams must have known something.....
No, Rupert is the name of the 10th planet...
Yes.. I agree. I'll start the fund! Just paypal your contribution to waltnat@bgnet.bgsu.edu!!!

Yeah, and bagged dirt seems to be doing rather well, especially in the spring and summer.... Can I start canning air too?

How about we call it AMA-1, Instead of TMA-1 (2001: A Space Odyssey)
