Wasn't the new Disney Dinosaurs movie shown on several screens which were fed over the Internet?
Well, this ruling just created a small market for a video-projection theater which can be paid by such Internet movie producers to "show" the movie there first.
If you're looking for a Linux PDA, also keep an eye on the Compaq iPAQ. Compaq is releasing an iPAQ Linux to developers. Is anyone here not a developer?
This college has been pointed out often to those companies. Obviously they did not fix it.
Or else the college is just using a censorware myth rather than facts.
Fortunately, the.edu domain is not crowded by domain speculators and businesses so it won't be overly difficult finding an available name. Unless they select an unfortunate abbreviation...
However, they'll have to create a home page with absolutely no mention of the old name. They'll have to hide an explanation of the history someplace down in an "About Us" or "About/History" page which will not be painful to have undisplayable. Or else display the name as an image...until someone's image sensing network gets trained to read letters in images.
There is an alternative that just needs implementation. The pictures through the eye of a cat which we discussed months ago shows that science understands how signals are encoded on the optic nerve. That experiment decoded visual signals from the retina of a cat.
We simply need to encode video the same way and inject it in the optic nerve. Feedback is needed so when you move your eyes or head, the appropriate part of the image becomes the center of your vision. Yes, this would be a real version of the fictional optical implants which Jordi wore on ST:TNG.
We haven't mapped the human optic nerve enough, need more nerve taps than have been used before, and the video encoding will probably require more hardware than your existing wearable. Okay, I'll have to say it: Imagine a wearable Beowulf cluster.
Please stand by. This article vanished from the main page, so there will not be many more replies.
When it gets bent back to the proper shape, resistance to the travel of electrons toward this article will be reduced and posting may continue. Except we've aged off the main page and are less visible.
Maybe he's using the Venus Equilateral method: leave the experiment in the open and put the experimenter in a tin can.
(Venus Equilateral is a fictional space station from the 1950's. When a vacuum was needed for experiments -- such as creating new vacuum tubes -- they could use a lab which was open to space and work wearing spacesuits.)
You forgot that when you are testing your program and it crashes, it does not take the operating system with it.
Unless you're using a version of Unix running on hardware which does not isolate users from OS at the hardware level -- but this does not apply to 386/486/Pentium. Most such systems are about as old as the 286, so not many are being used for development, except for embedded systems.
Underwriters Laboratory is most well known for testing that products are not likely to cause a fire. Insurance companies don't like fire, so they prefer items which have been UL tested. (Insurance companies are "underwriters" of your insurance)
If there's a fire with a non-UL device, your insurance company will be unhappy about the situation -- nearly as unhappy as you.
Well, that was also my first thought but I wanted to avoid the effects of random ionizing radiation passing through a capacitor with such a huge capacity. I figured it would be easier to design around gyroscopic effects than deal with safely venting plasma blasts.
Well, MACs can also be faked, it's just easier with some hardware than with others.
I think you have to set up encrypted tunnels, and ignore packets with the wrong data. Kerberos, SSH, SSLeay...there are tools for it, it's a matter of how large you want the shared secrets (keys/passwords) to be. And you only need to allow the Visitor passwords when you have guests.
Oh, right. Yes, deorbiting generates electricity and the recovery satellite could use that for its own purposes. Well, we don't want to use up too much fuel, and you're right.
Use the tether's electricity to spin up flywheels, and have the junk grasper not be a single-use device. When the junk is sufficiently decelerated, release the grasp and use the flywheel to energize the tether to accelerate the junk hunter back up to a higher orbit. Use gyroscopes to alter attitude for maneuvering to go catch another piece of junk.
We don't need a junkyard, as the manufacturing effort needed to recycle obsolete materials which have been damaged by space is too much. It's undoubtedly easier to get fresh materials from the Moon and toss it up from there -- except for some of the denser elements, but we could launch the needed components from here and let them be assembled up there where space is cheap and G-forces are the least of the problems.
Good point. Shall we chip in on a $1,000,000 satellite with a tether on it and fly it out to an asteroid? We could try an electromagnetic tether against the heliomagnetosphere and bring the asteroid over here where it's useful...eventually.
Old news. This was pointed out during the Space Defence Initiative discussion: Any orbiting antisatellite system is vulnerable to sandcasters.
Take a load of sand up to an extreme orbit which allows swinging around the Moon, then disperse the sand as it's falling toward the target in Earth orbit. It can cover a very large area. Hughes unintentionally demonstrated this recently when they salvaged a satellite by sending it into high orbit via the Moon.
I was thinking the same thing. Use the microsatellite to get to the space junk, then fasten a tether to it. Move away and use the electrical tether to slow the junk. Exercise: would a few solar cells create enough power to slow junk of significant size?
That sounds like all you can do. You've already told the survey company about the problem. If you're the only one who told them about it, you will be their prime suspect if they see the problem described in public.
Even if the survey company does nothing, as the above reply points you, a victim of the problem might sue the survey company -- and your name may show in their records as knowing about the problem. You want to put them on notice that you feel that the problem is their problem, that you believe that their contract requires you to do nothing about the problem, and as you can not tell anyone about the problem then you are not responsible for any damages.
Also tell them that you will have to remove the software from your computer before it can be used to damage you (if the problem can cause damage to you). Not only are they responsible for damages, but you have to take reasonable precautions to avoid damage to your property.
Then file it all away in safe places and shut up. They made the problem, they don't provide tools for fixing it, so they have to deal with it.

Of course, both of these comments are offtopic for the topic of this discussion...

Now I'm trying to figure out what might violate those terms. A non-binary and non-source form? So is this discussion about it a violation?

Yes, I know the difficulties with translations. But there are tools hither and yon with various skill levels.
Don't forget "plane" as when shaving off a layer of wood. And I'd rather forget the people who just plain can't spell.
Good thing it's labeled "opinion" and not "fact". Not that he said it's what the wished, not what he knew.
