I don't know where the hell you get your data, but it's *way* off (I'm assuming you just pulled it out of your ass to defend your America sux d00dz position).
I don't know of *anyone* who doesn't know that they need to register before voting. Every election there is some program out there trying to get the poor to register to vote. it's not hard, and just about every one who drives is given the opportunity to register to vote. It's not hard to do. Voting is not difficult. (Just look at the dumbasses who get elected, or at least lots of votes, like Pat Buchanen, and tell me that uneducated don't vote)
Yes, the education system in the US is not all that It could be, unfortunately, but It doesn't take much education to know how to vote.
As for the poverty line, that's complete BS, I've grown up below the poverty line, and I haven't had a very hard time of it. In fact the amount of money made at the "poverty" line in the US in a year($1300) is what someone working at a government factory in china would make in 26 years($500/y).

Man, what is wrong with me?? once silver is oxidized it cannot be won back.
yes it can, and it isn't oxidized when the film is developed, but when the silver nitrate(AgNO2) is made. all you have to do is oxidize it with a more active metal, witch isn't hard, because silver isn't that active.
we did an experiment in my high school chem class where we took some silver nitrate and stuck some copper in, the copper was eaten away, and little bits of pure silver formed on the wire. Our chemistry teacher collected the silver at the end of the day for reuse next year
actually it also turns out that its cheaper to make silver nitrate yourself by dumping silver into nitric acid, then it is to order it pure, by a factor of 50.
I guess your chemistry teacher did a pretty bad job...
that's better.... I wouldn't want people to think that my English teacher did a pretty bad job... (although I'm sure they already do:( _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Silver is not an anamal, it is a stable element, witch means that it cannot be destroyed, ever (unless the atom is broken apart in some sort of nulear reaction, but I don't think thats somthing that could be done easyly beacuse of silvers stable nature).
the silver will be there untill the univerice ends. _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Did anyone notice the part where they said that there would still be grain on the picture? I did, and I think that's wrong.
I think they should be moving *away* from the limitations of film. These guys are probably professional photographers, and have been using film there whole lives, but there are flaws, and grain is one of them. The target should be the human eye. They should try to make photographs as close to what we see in the real world. Things like grain and the color effects that go with film could be, and should be done on a computer post process. Right now I'd say that there's nothing I can't do with a 'perfect' digital camera and a copy of photoshop.
Does anyone remember that 'live' episode of ER? Do you remember how it looked different? It's because they were using live NTSC feeds, instead of movie film that they usually use. The effect made it seem more like a low budget sitcom or daytime soap then ER, but it was *more real* and truer to what we see every day.
That 'effect' could just as easily done on an effects processor (and it may have been, on non live shows). Once Digital photography surpasses pure optical photography, there will be *no* reason for film. Like the way film looks? Run it through photoshop, it takes a lot less time the developing the film.... (and costs less money).
And one more thing, why would you need to print out your photos? _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
I just got one of those advantex cameras, cheep. how much of a picture quality loss is there with that? is there anything inherantly bad with the film? How much of a resolution loss is there involved with a cheap camera? I'd really like to know (my camera cost $40) _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

happens that the NTSC video standard, on which the XL1 is based, disguises such effects by providing a relatively high-resolution monochrome image and then overlaying low-resolution colour over it.
I'm not quite sure what your talking about.. NTSC(Never The Same Color) is an anolog format, consisting of about 500 or so scan lines. Each scan line is an anolog wave form (so in *theory* you have infinte horozontal resolution). in the black and white days, The image was simply defined by how high the signal was +0 volts was black, and +5 volts was white. in order to add color, a 3 MHz freqency was added, and modulated with the brigtness wave. the Phase of the wave is what defines the color. +0 is red, then yellow, green,blue, purple, and back to red. so there is no "RBG" data at all in a television set. as for the gosting you are seeing, its just beacuse NTSC sucks ass.
infact I think we should all just switch to VGA, the sega dreamcast has a SVGA port on the back.... _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
well, there are other storage options, you could store the images on an IDE hard drive. The demo modle they had there was 'merged' with a lap top computer stick a 20gig hard drive in there, for $400 and thats only $1 a pic, that dosnt' seem to exspensive. besides its not like you cant just shrink down the images later you know. _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
the reason we use gold, an have for thousands of years, is beacuse it's rare, but not to rare. gold is $250 an ounce right now, compared to $5 for silver. in order to store $160,000 in gold, you would need about 40 pounds. you would need over one ton of silver. there are other elements that are worth more, platum and paladium come to mind, but they arn't worth much more. and golds already been around some elements used as indsutryal Catalysts can be worth millions of dolars per oz... but those arn't practial beacuse they are so rare. _ "Subtle mind control?

My guess would be that they include an X server that plugs into there own GUI, that way native 'amiga' apps can run fast and nice, while still being able to use all those nice POSTIX and linux apps that use Graphics.

this is just a minor point, but voodoo cards, (up to the v2) exist outside the 2d graphics space. its a seperate peice of hardware with a seperate connection to the monitor.

oh I forgot theres a program called 'fasttracker' for dos that lets you play.xm files though the speaker. I used to have a large colection of them, they can sound as good as an mp3(these are 100% "computer" music though, you would have to recompose somthing in order to have it playable, you can't 'encode') _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
1. Is there some sort of tool that allows music to be converted to pulses or notes on various frequencies on a pc speaker. Like row, row, row your boat. I am aware of the pc speaker patch for linux however it is really crappy compared to simply representing the music as notes. There are two ways to get sound out of the PC speaker, witch can be ether 'on' or 'off' The first is simply 1-bit which sounds pretty bad. the other way is to modulate the pulses at a very high rate, so that they change faster then teh speaker can move, so each change only moves the speaker a little bit.
I once found a pretty cool DOS demo that did this, it was pretty cool.
None of this stuff is anything that you could do without doing assembly coding yourself though.. I don't know about any linux libs _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
