I'm blind in one eye, so this definitely interests me. I don't normally mind the reduced depth perception, but I think it would be nice to have a monocle version of this that I can use when doing delicate work or perhaps driving. I am required by law to have a side mirror on the passenger side, but I have to turn my head too far to be able to see it (bad eye = right eye). I wonder how the brain would handle seeing a near-infinite resolution image coming out of the organic eye, and a VGA/SVGA image from the implant.
KPhotoAlbum (previously called KimDaBa) is pretty good for free software. You can make custom tags, search with either/or/not/and logic, and it's pretty easy to use. One bad thing is that (in the older version I have anyways) it slows down a lot when you have 10,000+ photos in it. It stores its metadata in an XML file that you can backup so you don't lose your library. I've used it for about a year, until I moved over to an iMac+iPhoto.

Where CSS falls down, and this mostly an IE thing, is with dynamic widths. That Zen Garden page does not, in any of the layouts, resize to fill your browser's screen.
Exactly. For most of my friends, a P&S works great. I have one too, for when we go out to bars or taking quick jaunts. But on vacation, it's time to lug the camera bag around. I have only ever regretted NOT having the SLR with me - there'll be a beautiful sunset, but the P&S can't capture it. Or I'll see some far-off wildlife, and not be able to zoom in enough. About the only place I won't take the SLR is to a concert, because I'm afraid it'll get destroyed.
And the one time I did take it to a show, my pictures were a thousand better than my friends', because of the control and capabilities. So they're not for everyone, but sometimes you need them.
Amen. Once I upgraded to a much better lens (from the EF-S 18-55 to a 18-50 f/2.8) my picture quality went up. But it's like everything else - the good stuff costs money. I'm dropping a $1000+ for a better telephoto because the budget $300 promaster just doesn't cut it.
Maybe I don't understand your problem, but I have a WiFi network at home that does not broadcast its SSID, and uses WPA-PSK and MAC filtering for additional security. My PowerBook and PPC iMac both use this network, and I never have to type a password in. I added my home network to the "Preferred Networks" list in Network preferences.
For Rockstar, those are good looking screenshots. But why not license something tried and true, something that's good for outdoors. UT comes to mind. Hell, if Bethesda licenses the Oblivion engine, use that.
And I'd say more like 2 or 3 years. I have a socket Athlon 850, a 1.3 Tbird, and an Athlon64 3500+. Each one uses a different socket. I got the 850 in...2000 maybe. So that's a max of 3 years for each? And it isn't like all the 939 parts are going to vanish over night. I'm still thinking about upgrading my 3500+ to a dual core, since my board supports it.
Ah, the batteries alone are where the system falls flat on its face. Unless you're going with some extremely expensive wet cells, you're going to put more $$$ into the batteries than anything else. And depending on climate, they aren't even going to last 5 years. If you don't keep your basement at a constant temperature, the battery's will die even quicker.
The actual character development was not there, but I've always thought that Deus Ex was a good example of what an RPG could be. You made decisions, who lived, who died. It could have been more open-ended, but it did what it could very well.
Oblivion is rather cool in this way too. There a dozens upon dozens of sub quests. It is not perfect, but I have been intrigued with the various alliances. I did not what to assassinate a particular character, but it was that or be killed myself.
The karma was my first hard disk-based MP3 player. It was really great, but it ended up having the weak headphone connection that plagued the line. The software (for Linux/OSX) was VERY flaky, and the ethernet wouldn't work for me unless I had it in 10Mbps mode (the computer's NIC, that is).
The interface *was* very good, and it was so small. I liked, but upgraded to a more reliable player about 8 months afterward.
It has been awhile, but I think the -scale option forces a lower quality resize due to the filter used. Try using the -resize option instead. And you can force a specific filter with the -filter option, like so..
convert -filter cubic -resize 100x100 input.jpg output.jpg
I read the review...it isn't any kind of hybrid camera. It is just a new CyberShot model. Still no through-the-lens, changeable lenses, etc. because it is NOT meant to be anything like an SLR. Canon has a similar line of products.
AC goes into the data center. The data center is battery backed (DC). There are inverters to convert it back to AC to feed the machines (if the inverter is running on DC mode, which it should be for reliability) So... AC->DC->AC.
If you have a single conversion (like telco hardware does), you have AC that gets converted into DC and then fed to all the equipment. So AC->DC And yes, the main question is efficiency, which is exactly what the article states...will it be cost effective enough to warrant moving to a DC-based power system? Well it works just fine for Verizon, SBC, etc.

Sounds a lot like DNG.

Because my work computer turned off in the middle of the night while running a job, because Microsoft REALLY WANTS THOSE UPDATES INSTALLED!
Oh man, now I realize that I will absolutely HATE the new Office UI. Quanta's ribbon has always bothered, so I turn it completely off. Ugh.

You're right, no one takes them hiking. I wonder how all those nature photographers do it? Probably with a camera phone.
The Krita developers seem to have a much better understanding of how a simple-yet-effective FLOSS raster graphics app should work and look like.
So it looks like Photoshop then? Why, yes it does!
On the pretty picture they show radio going to a Powerbook, then to an iPod. Guess what?
Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows XP or Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2
- Windows Media Player 10.0 or higher
YOU NEED ID TO CHECK BAGGAGE. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Hinder is a noun, it means BUTTOX. The editors should be aware of this, and retitle the article "Internet Not The Social Buttox It Was"
My Moto 710 figured out what my contacts' names sounded like without me having to train it like on an LG phone.
Yeah. Wow. That was....words fail me.
Table tennis doesn't have wide expanses of outdoor scenery. Look at the screenshots available at http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1427/Rocks tar-Games-Presents-Table-Tennis/p1/. They can't compete with any other modern engine like UT, Doom, or Source.

This sounds horrible.
Hey, hop on the Oblivion-hating bandwagon.
