I (and others) have theorized that it should be possible to burn a holographic image onto a CD or DVD. Yamaha demonstrated it could be done for plain images, but I was disappointed when I found it wouldn't burn pit-level resolution.
Unfortunately, standard interfaces don't give pit-level control, so you'd have to hack the firmware. Surely that can't be too hard, can it?
The solution for FireFox is to take away the magic behavior. The in-window viewer sucks more than the standalone app, plus has all the mentioned problems. Visit Tools->Options, Downloads, File types, and change PDF to "open with default application". This will use Moz's nice background downloader, then open the PDF in the full Acrobat Reader when done. Moz stays free the whole time.
Not entirely.. The real purpose of SMT (the general name) is to reduce the need for complicated multiple dispatch engines. A CPU has lots of functional units on board, and it's hard to keep them all busy. Multiple dispatch helps, but is hard to design, and often requires new compilers to really shine. SMT helps too, but is easy, and works fine with existing code. This is why Sun added 4-thread SMT to their latest chips rather than make them bigger and more complicated like everyone else did (Intel, AMD, and IBM).
Moore's law says double the number of transistors every 18 months. So a year and a half after Opteron, a dual-core would be par, so AMD is actually a little late. But a quad-core a year and a half after the dual would also be par.
I scored a copy of the pilot, loaned it to a guy at work. He like it so much, he bought the season 1 DVD set. Unfortunately, he then loaned the set to a coworker. So file sharing is helping sales, but it's those evil loaners that are injuring sales.
I've heard the numbers are 5 bln neurons, 5000 connections each, 1000 Hz. Toss in the 10% utilization number that's floating around, and you get.. 2.5x10^15.
Who's calling themselves editors? The Slashdot rulers have never claimed to be editors or journalists. Though I can't seem to find any profiles, so I'm not sure.
I ran it under his own QEmu on a 3GHz P4. The Linux image included with QEmu took 4 secs to boot to prompt, while tccboot.iso took about 100 secs. tccboot seems to be a dup of the QEmu sample.
I suspect that's intentional; the less light they throw on the floor, the more light they can shoot in your face. It also means less stray light illuminating the room, and it all makes for a better experience directly in front of the screen.
If you wanna watch from the floor, you might have to tip the screen forward, or just set the thing on the floor.
I really wonder why they even bother. Unless they include hardware DRM to disallow access to all unauthorized programs, this WILL be cracked.
Sure, it'll be cracked. Then the cracker will go to jail. His friends will go to jail too. Those "info wants to be free" guys who posted copies on their web sites? Yep, jail. Oh, and remember when you mentioned to your neighbor how you'd like to copy the movies to your media center so you can keep the disks safe? He got the $100 bounty by reporting you, while you, my friend, are going to jail.
To put this into perspective, the person who implemented multiple undo in Word is one of the best developers who has ever worked on Word, and has, since, been recognized as a Microsoft Distinguished Engineer.
So.. the guy that added multiple undo knowingly created a file handle leak.. and got an award for it? And he's the *best* engineer they got? Yeah, that sounds like Microsoft to me.

I swear, the bigger the drive gets, the more words they tack on. But that's the widget I use. Granted, it's primary purpose is music, but the transfer capability is quick and handy.
Unfortunately, it requires special software for Windows. Apparantly there's software for Linux, but it's in early stages.
The project also released their NanomuCLinux. Where uClinux removes the MMU support, Nanomu Linux removes all the other features. "Runs beautifully on a single NAND gate," reported the charismatic project leader, "especially when overclocked to several gigahertz."

On the contrary, as long as you're playing old games, you're not buying new ones. This hurts the current market for new games.

Don't forget, everything's funnier when you append "in bed".
Don't forget you can spend that card at bestbuy.com too. Or you might sell it to a coworker for $8.
Does that mean your parents got it wrong? :)

Ironically, I still haven't watched that episode.

I'm not surprised, the c1it service was much more fun.
There's no ASCII there either. I'd expect to see or something.

No, it usually takes a few hours.
The most exciting discoveries are preceded by "Hey! Watch this!" They're usually not unique discoveries, but they're exciting.

Please don't discuss your proud here. That's just gross.

But that's not entirely correct either .. It's really a Compact-Flash-Card-Format Computer (CFCFC). It's not made of flash, y'know.
