it's not really a band aid solution, but a practical one, verbatim:
After weighing the potential benefits and costs, the commission came down pretty squarely against the idea. “Given the enormous cost, limited effectiveness, questionable feasibility, and probable significant adverse economic and ecological impacts of such a project, it does not seem prudent to seriously further consider such a proposal,” the report concluded.
But that was before the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that a three-foot rise in sea levels is almost CERTAIN by 2100.
Your pets can get this too, especially if they eat dirt. It's something to be aware of, since the vets took a couple of months figuring it out. It's the sort of thing if you want an expedited diagnosis you probably have to bring up yourself, so it's good to see it getting a little publicity so maybe doctors will become more aware in other parts of the country/world.
I went to the polling place with my voter ID card and driver's license. Was on the list for the polls, but since they supposedly sent me an absentee ballot which I did not request, I was put on a provisional ballot. Had to wait an hour to actually cast a vote. Got a receipt from the polling guy who was handling provisionals. Took it back and read it later. Turns out it needed my signature, and the one of the poll worker. He didn't handle the provisional ballot correctly, and I am extremely pissed off. I shouldn't have had to cast a provisional ballot in the first place, and the polling worker did not handle the ballot properly. I am going to go back there and raise some hell later.
maybe i should try playing as i have been busy solving all the world's problem and have yet to get a video game certification, so it shouldn't take me too long sitting around on me bum right?
i went there, and while i'd love to dork out with you and drop street cred. if you went to uc santa cruz you'd also be exposed to gamelan music and all sorts of ear raping sounds.
anyhow, i can pick out composers with startling accuracy. and i don't listen to classical music with the exception of when i dated a girl who was studying classical music. yeah, it's just formulaic. but whatever, i'm also a really good musician and have a kind of perfect pitch, it doesn't matter.
all music is a formula, and it's about looking cool. and part of that is dropping my slashdot karma way down so mod it for me you frickin nerds
Microsoft's president of entertainment and devices, announced at the CES show in Las Vegas, Arizona, this week that Natal would go on sale in November.
this is so retarded. don't even imply that as an argument. oh no, someone in the neighborhood might be growing pot let's conduct sweeps aim cheap sensors at them. you can't use that reasoning in such a sweeping way. it's a god damn pandora's box you fascists.
anyhow, general use, does not equal cheap either. do you have a thermal image scanner? if you do... wtf?
are you trying to be like the predator or something? get a life nerd!
This movie is not anti-technology, the technology of the native is people is simply more naturalistic. It is a tale of two different technologies, and different biologies. The native people in this movie, further, all living life on the Pandora planet are equipped with network ports, although to the untrained eye it may appear to be bestial rape! Despite some of the technological advantages of the Na'vi and their environment, it seems as if one disadvantage they face over their Earth counterparts is the lack of wireless technology.
If this movie is anti-tech, it is anti-wireless. Need more evidence that the Na'vi despite their tribal appearance were actually addicted to their own brand of internet? Here's what I care to say:
They preserve their memories in organic computers, hence the type of double damage when the humans destroy their environment. When the humans take out their sacred watchamacallit it's like if the genealogy.com servers exploded. Oh my!
Seriously, there are tons of examples of this throughout the movie. Of course, there is no monetary system on the planet. Eywa controls the balance of life. Oh wait, Eywa = Ebay. On Pandora, life provides infrastructure and infrastructure adds value. hey-yo!!!
Hopefully I've reached someone who gets it: this movie is convoluted in its themes. I'm not going to analyze it beyond 3-D effects in any depth. It borrows and clusterfux weird analogies from all over the place and if you try to add it all up (assuming you can pick up on it) and apply its message to the world we live in you need to find a new moral compass.
x.com was a crazy bank in 2001, I used it a lot, and yes it was run by PayPal. Why was it crazy? Because it allowed me to take money from my credit cards and deposit them to a bank account using the web. I could then pull cash out at an ATM, write a check to another credit card company. It really saved me a few times, but in the end it only lasted about 6 months before PayPal really took off and they cut back the wacky services eventually the service altogether. Yeah, I had an x.com ATM card.
I installed this app on facebook, and it was basically just a quiz; I expected more such as demonstrative proof.
For instance, the point they are trying to make is that facebook apps such as quizzes can aggregate personal information about pretty much anyone regardless of privacy settings, however, they do not re-present the data that their quiz aggregates.
Whoever posted this without knowing if it is affiliated with the ACLU on slashdot should validate their sources. I installed this app and I do not even in fact trust it. Irresponsible.
Legally, a twitter update can contain copyrightable information in 140 characters, but I don't want to get into the legality aspect, but rather refute the assertions that people make that it is trivial. It is the aggregation of a bunch of tweets; there's plenty of examples out there. Twitter's not hot because of twitter.com/home, it's because of all the real time data that you can get from other pages.
Let's say for instance I wanted to write a book about anything; I could search twitter and take ideas from it. Who's to say that you couldn't take all those ideas and change them so they fit your book idea. That would be copyright infringement on a large scale. Does it not seem like a violation of rights?
While there's certainly an argument to be made against frivolous lawsuits and being able to assess damages there is also a very clear cut way to leverage other people's tweets outside of the intended use.
Not only would this help you with your calluses, finger strength and picking skill, you'd be able to translate the rhythm of the game to your own guitar playing. I've found that guitar hero with its layout helps me to visualize rhythmic structure which helps a lot in song writing (I never have bad rhythm, but I'm not a big counter).
The game component will probably be the first thing they check out when they get the axe, and they'll probably use it for awhile since they paid a bit more money for it, then maybe they'll learn a few chords which only should about 30 seconds to learn Em. I bet they'll be able to bust out powerchords. It'll make a couple kids into punk rockers, I guarantee, where they go from there no one knows. I doubt your going to get jazz players right off the bat.
you can go to best buy or where ever and pay $39 or sumpin like that. It comes with software to convert, it's PC only, but whatever. The point is it's not that hard. stupid misinformation gets modded up these days on slashdot, i wonder if i can remember my password. well here's a link that gives a review:
As someone who used to sell pro-audio gear I am a little surprised after having used the Antares Hardware (not software) that people depend on it live. Since it's functioning in real time it doesn't have the ability to look ahead (like software) so you can hear it bend the notes back into pitch. It's probably not so bad on vocals since it could maybe pass as vibrato (which would confuse the thing if you intended to do it, another reason not to use it live) but try it on a fretless bass (I had a customer who wanted to do this, I told him to get a fretted bass if he can't play his instrument) and you can hear exactly how much it changes what it is your playing, and I think makes it harder to get a feel for the dynamics of whatever you are doing. It is a lot of fun to sing into one as off key as possible and hear it shift the notes back into whatever preset scale you want. So I guess it is true if you are a really, really bad singer it won't make you sound good, because the further off you are the more distance the Auto-tuner has to go to bend the note back into pitch making it obvious that you're using the thing. So I agree with the Antares guy that it won't help the most terrible worst singers in the world who are nowhere close to the right melody.
one of the things that makes tubes sought after is the fact that they offer a natural means of compression. not data compression mind you, but reducing the dynamics of sound. what this means is the loud sounds become softer and the quiter sounds become more present in the mix. the compressed sound is what most music listeners like and are accustomed to. it's why when you listen to an old jazz record and then a new britney spears record, the latter is much hotter.

can't really remember if we used vinegar or not but there was definitely a little foam.
glad other people are catching on...

is because nobody has commented? cool, i'll pay the troll toll
funny, it seems that they have to share screens with a ground computer. from my experience windows media center will not work in space.
