Depends on the pricing and if they can cover the cost with advertising. Google still charges for Sketchup Pro after they got bought, for example, but it isn't exactly conducive to advertising and is used by design firms, etc who can't afford or don't need larger CAD/animation packages
Picnik Premium seems to cost a couple of bucks a month and is aimed at casual users. Its main costs are bandwidth and storage, which Google can supply in abundance. I imagine advertising could cover whatever else that couple of bucks supports, so it is possible.
On the other hand, Google might be trying to make products pay for themselves instead of just relying on advertising.
Yarg, I've got some industrial machinery that uses serial and I've yet to find a converter that has timing exactly like a real serial port. Know any with very exact timing(not bloody likely with USB)?
Fortunately, most of our newer machinery runs on straight cat5.
I love the game where you blather about your brand new *expensivewidget* you will be missing while you are out, post false GPS coordinates showing you in another state, and then wait in your living room closet with a weapon and a video camera.
Computer(noun): strange constructs that do your bidding if you know cryptic phrases, gained through research and memorization, that brings you hidden secrets, creates intricate illusions, shows visions of distant lands, controls mechanical automatons, and, if misused, can turn on the user to cause almost perversely unexpected results and possibly great destruction?
Or you get a consultant or ask to borrow someone from a company you do lots of business with to do the technical part of the interview for you.
I've seen that at small shops where the previous admin flaked out or got a better job out of state, so they asked a technical consultant they already had a relationship with to talk shop with each candidate and give an opinion on who to call back.
American automakers team up with Japanese automakers to produce an electric car? Walmart inks a deal to take over every state's welfare department? In an effort to keep Microsoft in the US, Canada becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Google?
According to this, the original Toy Story needed about 7 TFLOPS to render in real time, although I've seen higher estimates.
87 dual-processor and 30 quad-processor 100-MHz SPARCstation 20s took 46 days to do ~75 minutes, so you need to be 883.2 times as fast to render in realtime. Anyone overclock a quadcore processor to 8 GHz? I suppose setup with 4 quadcore cpus @ 2GHz isn't out of reach.
But then again, the machines might have been IO bound instead of CPU bound, needing to send 7.7 gigabytes per second.
The same entities that force songwriters to license their songs for a set amount or force musicians to allow radio stations to play songs without negotiating individually.
Get a touchscreen like the blackberry storm, that can click. Or get a touchscreen that can actually sense pressure, preferably with some squish to it so you aren't banging your finger against a hard surface like with a touchpad.
This type of system is usually implemented due to former employees punching in for each other. This is a way that makes that more difficult.
Only if you work for a security conscious facility who is willing to deal with the hassles of running such a system. Both places I've been at that used it for just timeclock purposes either turned the discrimination down so far that at least one other person could fake for them, or gave up on the high false negative rate and switched to "type in something you wouldn't want your coworkers to know, like your SSN".
That's kind of my point, if it fits in a cellphone then either it will kill the battery, or it will be limited in brightness so as not to kill the battery.
I'm fine with 800x600 myself and I don't usually need anything larger than 24". Frequently just 10" would work, as I mainly want a laptop screen replacement(it being one of the last easily breakable parts) so I could just carry around the keyboard half.
Mixing it up with a camera to do a wearable projectable touch display, with the computer still in a bag, would be nice too.
I'd be curious what the actual bandwidth/sensitivity of the optic nerve is. Tetrachromats have been shown to perceive a greater distinction of colors, but people with red-green color blindness have also been shown to be able to distinguish varieties of khaki better than normal sighted people.
Are either of those groups gaining or losing bits of discrimination in relation to the number of cone types they have that would show a fixed amount of bandwidth?
I suppose one would have to count the number of shades/tints each group could distinguish, not just the number/bands of colors.
If our ability to distinguish color is limited by the bands each kind of cone is sensitive to, then the VISOR could expand La Forge's capacity to perceive. If the optic nerve was the chokepoint, then he would either compress via tone-mapping or have to develop a "palette swap/filter" reflex/feedback to scan through the spectrum, but couldn't see everything at once.
How about a wireless projecter, the size of a deck of cards, with built-in wireless USB and/or bluetooth? Then you can use it with nearly anything, the way wi-fi projectors work now.
That's what I want. Pretty much any projector that can fit in a phone without bulking it up is probably too faint or too draining to use for any serious purpose. I want something that can last a few hours, but still be bright enough to use with the lights on, or only slightly dimmed.
Heh, my school had that policy except they never mentioned that if you did so, graduation was mandatory. I was looking forward to a year of more AP classes and leaving at noon, until I got a "congrats, but we'll call the cops if we see you on campus" letter just before start of my senior year.
After sticking his head in the beam, he looked like this
It was almost painless. It just killed every cell along the path, which wasn't too bad until the skin peeled off. He's lived nearly 30 years, even finished his PhD, despite receiving enough radiation to kill a person if it were spread evenly.
PS, I have cardstock punch cards my Dad wrote before computers used magnetic tape that are still readable by hand, although I don't have hardware for them. But I can drop them in a scanner and write code that will convert the image to text.

Now if the facility manager thought to do this the next time they redo the carpeting, that'd be awesome for tech conferences.
But I think having a grid of floor boxes dense enough would make the floor rough to walk on when arranged as a vendor hall or dining room.
The cellular chip is the second largest single cost of such a device.
Yarg, yes. The Nook takes over 2 seconds to turn a page, that would drive me crazy.

Not at all like magic, nope.
What, like upper management? Nah, you must mean most expensive department, like R&D or Effective Customer Service.

Just to be clear, you are saying:
Herbalism=Plants with drugs in them.
Homeopathy=Water that had drugs in it, but now contains fewer active molecules than it has Carl Sagan molecules.
Can't see how anyone could confuse that.

Wait, those last two sound feasible...

U did ur math rong. $96,000*5=$480,000

Look up "mechanical licenses".

I left the latter place real quick.

Hah, awesome quote.
Some do, sort of.

This typo made my morning.
Don't forget it encourages the killing of useless government officials to ensure better functioning of society:)
