It uses a diffraction grating to split visible light into a spectrum which can then be measured by the camera sensor. Yes, you do have to set fire to your sample.:p
I don't think they are accurate at all on switch mode power supplies. I have one which is definitely wrong when measuring a PC PSU.
I think they expect to see peak current at the peaks of AC voltage, but a switch mode PSU will take small bites of current which may or may not coincide with the voltage peaks.
"The moment when evolution happens is when there's a clear advantage in having a particular mutation. This typically means having a high chance of ending up dead without it. E.g., when you take antibiotics for a pneumonia, the concentrations there are high enough that a heck of a lot of "unprotected" bacteria just die."
I wouldn't be too sure of that. It only takes a very slight advantage for selection pressure to add up over generations, much like compound interest. And bacterial generations are very short.
One of the ways ways by which we know that increased levels of CO2 are due to fossil fuel burning is that O2 levels have been measured to be dropping at the opposite rate of the CO2 increase. But ~20% of the atmosphere minus a couple hundred ppm is still ~20%, so not worth worrying about
This is the one with the classic line: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."
I don't watch a lot of TV, I prefer wasting my time playing Anarchy Online, which is a sci-fi MMORPG.
The funny thing is that I had seen the in-game video billboards showing advertising for 'Aeon Flux', which I assumed was a bit of a joke by the Funcom developers about crappy sci-fi movies still existing in the year 29000.
I was quite surprised when I found out it was for real.
Right, so one white girl gets a raw deal and NOW it's worth boycotting Indonesian tourist destinations. Pretty sad after what happened in East Timor just a few years ago, without much interest from the media and the general public.
I did manage to get cedega to run Call of Duty perfectly from within a 32bit chroot, but in the end it was easier to just boot to a minimal 32bit Hoary for games. I don't think they are doing anything wrong really, nothing in the GPL says you have to provide easy to install free binaries. There's probably a.deb floating around on P2P if you want to try before you buy;)
I found that http://www.liflg.org/ is very handy for getting win32 games installed also.
Yeah, totem sucks, I've not seen it work yet. You may also want to run:/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh if you have trouble with DVDs.
#3: The UT2004 amd64 build works just fine. If you want to run 32bit games, dual boot to a 32 bit OS or set up a 32bit chroot. Funnily enough, software compiled for i386 chokes on libs that are compiled for amd64.
If the complexity of the scene becomes irrelevant, I suppose you could throw bump-mapping out the window and have 'real' bumps.
Maybe there's a whole new bag of tricks waiting to be found for doing things the RT way?
e.g. If you have magic hardware to crunch through the geometry of all those rays, you could fake a 'soft' light source with a tight cluster of point light sources.
So, what parallel universe are you posting from where the coming totalitarian government is going to be atheist? We've got right-wing fundamentalist christians in this universe.

I'm pretty sure it was a ToS episode where they find a silicon-based critter that tunnels through rock.

You can study bullshit long and hard, maybe even end up believing it, but that doesn't make it true.

Where do you get .1 C from?
Black and white is a common colour scheme for all sorts of fishing birds. For example, some cormorants around here are black and white:

What about this Magic intercept then?

Can you ever be 100% sure that the nice Nigerian man
proposing a business opportunity is not just a con-artist?
and your point is?
Go fuck yourself Nazi

Gee, the article couldn't possibly apply to any of your ideas could it?

Yeah, well those fibreglass sheep up on the hill aren't fooling anyone, we've seen the crew out there moving them around before dawn.
Which one?
Thanks for the explanation, very interesting.

Would the number of lights be a limiting factor though? You'd have to account for each light to get the 'real' shadows right?
Should run Doom3 pretty well then I suppose...
Thanks, that's bloody well said.
I have often wondered about genesis being the literal truth, while the sermon on the mount is some sort of allegorical hippy ramblings.
I suppose you have to worry when even an atheist can spot the doublethink.
Here's hoping the surprise and bewilderment appears a bit faster than last time, they didn't have megaton nukes at Normandy.
So, what parallel universe are you posting from where the coming totalitarian government is going to be atheist? We've got right-wing fundamentalist christians in this universe.
