Is there any way to check this on a monitor? I am currently looking into a 37" 1080p Westinghouse monitor (around $1500) but it would be nice to know if it does these 1080p versions. I am guessing the LCD sync rate can easily handle 24,30, and 60, but you never know.
How do you check this on a source? Do people publish this info? I have not seen much of it.
Where is a good source for X info for LCD screens? They have VGA inputs, but for linux/mythtv I think you may need a modeline to make it all pretty...
Almost ever story someone whores and posts the article.
It takes a little effort, but you can boost your karma.
Recently, I found out that they may ban you from AC posts if you get enough down mods on past AC posts. I was posting asinine stuff AC, but it still hurt my account and I did not know that was an option...
Not sure if outing someone or posting their fetish would violate a criminal law, but it apparently makes you liable in civil court, unless you can show the information to be newsworthy.
Pervs outed for going after 14 year old girls shown on 20/20 (US news TV show) would probably be newsworthy, as they are breaking the law.
Actually not so sure on this case now. The story is now newsworthy, but the individuals that had private information published may not be so newsworthy individually. Also, not so sure if this is "highly offensive to a reasonable person." So you like to spank little girls? Sick, but not highly offensive to most people with dead morals thanks to years of MTV.
"Email is not private" - but you still can't post other people's private information in public without their permission. Yes, there really are laws about that. No, the "internet" doesn't make it different. Yes, there are ethical and social reasons as well.
Where did you get this? Is there some law I don't know about? If this were true, the paparazzi would be out of business.
You can't publish untrue stuff (libel?) but I think it is totally legal (in the US) to publish a private communication like a letter or email. You can't wiretap phone conversations, but this is all email, like a letter sent in the real world.
As they told me when I first started using this internets thing, when you hit send you no longer own that email, watch what you say. The recipient owns it and can do whatever they want...
I have seen people selling Myth boxes, but not with this kind of setup. It would be ideal for me, as I tried myth a while back and it was horrible.
Have you posted all your specs and setup details online? It could be quite useful to people trying something similar.
I am looking to get into HD finally, but my main problem with Myth (other than the setup) is the lack of Cable card/ HDMI support. I am thinking tivo series 3, but I really really want the power of myth too... Tivo is so much easier though, so I am leaning that way right now.
The TSA random search formula could still be random, just biased by different things.
Normal person, 1 in 40 chance
One way ticket? 1 in 2 chance
No luggage? 1 in 2
No luggage and one way ticket? 9 in 10
They could still claim random selection, and you get the benefit of profiling! Nothing is 100%, but at least this way you are harrassing the people that have higher odds and you don't just pull people based on skin color (probably)
"Changes in carbon dioxide during the Phanerozoic (the last 542 million years). The recent period is located on the left-hand side of the plot, and it appears that much of the last 550 million years has experienced carbon dioxide concentrations significantly higher than the present day."
So the MPAA/RIAA are only going after file sharing people? Not leeches. I thought they were hitting up everyone, but maybe they were just getting distributors.
So you would be totally safe if you only download stuff and never upload?
Except for child porn, which is not ok to download.
I think you have to assume they could know everything you do online.
If you don't like their policy, don't work around it. Let them know their policy stinks and should be corrected.
I personally hate the NYTimes. I don't want to register and log in to see a new web page, so I don't go there. They don't get my eyeballs for their ads, and google news almost always has the same story somewhere else.
I have been to SIAM meetings, and female representation is not as bad as some other specialties. I work in chemical process control, and the American Control Conference is probably the conference with the most XY I have ever seen, percentage wise. Math+computers+robotics/automation for some reason does not attract too many women, but there are a few.
1080i and 720p are around the same amount of information, AFAIK. There may be some details that differentiate them, but they are pretty close. From: http://www.highdefinitionblog.com/?page_id=88
This ended up allowing three formats that pretty well used up the bandwidth. These are 1920x1080p/30fps, 1920x1080i/30fps and 1280x720p/60fps. There are other possible HDTV formats, but these are the three that are at the bandwidth limit. Looking at pixel counts we have roughly the same quantity of pixels transmitted each second for all three with the two 1920x1080p,i/30fps being 62,208,000 pixels per second and 1280x720p/60fps being 55,296,000 pixels per second. Notice the 1080 and 720 formats are within 12.5% of each other, so the bandwidth required is about the same.
We had line doubler back in the day to get better TV resolution. Eventually, the processing speeds increased and you could do a lot more, a lot cheapter.
I am waiting to get a 1080p capable display. Eventually, the backend will be able to convert whatever signal to that level of resolution and speed. I know it takes a lot of processing power, but a previous post pointed out that GPUs are coming with some of this capability.
720p and 1080i at the same frame rate are about the same amount of information / s. 720p is actually a bit more than 1080i even though 1080i results in a higher resolution (although half the image is displayed per pass). The argument is 720p is better for fast stuff (sports) while 1080i is better for other stuff.
With the right processing, you can interpolate the 1080i to 1080p nicely, I think.
I personally like high res stuff, so I am holding out for 1080p capable display. There are some nice LCDs for less than $2k right now, but plasma is very spendy in 1080p.
I have a 2650x1600 LDC by Dell at work. Now that is a sweet machine. No 1600p video out there that I know of...
Sounds easy for you and me, but many people don't understand how to copy files, much less where / what devices are. I don't mean the/. crowd, but I have seen engineering students that are totally clueless on use of computers and how to save files in a certain location. Network drive? Desktop? Clueless. The ubiquitous USB is helping students figure this stuff out, but they still are often lost.

I am on the design team for the FIRST Lego Challenge for next year. Cool stuff, and the Lego Mindstorms are cheap and flexible.
RPN is hard.
I still use my 48sx from the early 90s. And I have a 15C somewhere that still kicks butt.
HPs are tools, the TIs feel like toys.
These days, for simple stuff I use google as a calculator (and unit converter). http://www.googleguide.com/calculator.html
Yes, but the default version has an annoying splash screen registration screen to click through every time you open gv or gsview.
As a result, I stopped using their reader. Free and Annoying.

Normal LCDs are low dynamic range. You need $$$ to get a real HDR LCD.
http://www.brightsidetech.com/
And the demos are all simulated, since you can't view real HDR without an HDR monitor, AFAIK.

Did you even look at the graph? It spans 550 million years, but 50 million years ago we had 4x the levles (over 1000 ppm).
50 million is not too long ago in relative terms.
But CO2 levels we are low on the million year scale, if you believe stuff in wikipedia...
5 .html
Graph at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide levels were 10x what they are now
"Changes in carbon dioxide during the Phanerozoic (the last 542 million years). The recent period is located on the left-hand side of the plot, and it appears that much of the last 550 million years has experienced carbon dioxide concentrations significantly higher than the present day."
Plus, mars is warming with receding ice caps. Maybe solar effects are what is driving our change? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/336237
I am always a bit skeptical, since I was the generation that had both Igloo effect and global warming in the same textbook in middle school...
My big HP laptop beeps twice on boot and there is no way to silence it.
I do have a big obvious mute button, which is nice for sound. But sneaking into a meeting or at a conference, I want silent boot.
BEEP BEEP, press F2 to boot.
What a bunch of garbage.
I grew up in Huntsville AL and saw a shuttle engine test at Marshall SFC. Very impressive.
My mom grew up in Huntsville and tells stories of the Apollo days testing the giant engines that rattled the whole area.
Think of the lawsuits today if you rattled an entire town with a rocket test...
That is not what I wanted. I want my email to work with my browser. I want an editor to make web pages.
I know there is seamonkey. Why is there not just a new mozilla version, why force the name change?
Who thinks up these names? Mozilla? SeaMonkey? Firefox is ok, but what does it have to do with the internet or browsing?
That is what wikipedia says anyway.

Plus CGI reminds me of SGI. They once were pretty sweet...
But with bittorrent, you are distributing as you download (unless you use a hacked client) so you are illegal.
Other P2P applications would depend what you share with the world.
Just because publishing others copyright material is now dead easy does not make it legal or right.
What about allofmymp3? They are not in the US, so our copyright does not bind them. Assuming they are legal in their homeland, are you safe I wonder?
So the MPAA/RIAA are only going after file sharing people? Not leeches. I thought they were hitting up everyone, but maybe they were just getting distributors.
