"There's a regional trend in warming that cycles back 150 years," Mueller said in a telephone interview. "I am not comfortable linking it to global warming. It is difficult to tease out what is due to global warming and what is due to regional warming."
yeah, that's what I thought... ATI does sell an adapter for $29 that does convert the DVI conneciton on my video card to and analog HDTV component connection, but the little bastards want $15 to ship a 1 or 2 ounce item via ground shipping.
Screw that. I would love to have it, but I just refuse to pay that much in shipping costs. They're costs to ship that item would probably be $1.51 or something.
DVI is nice and all for the likes of viewing your PC on your TV
I was under the (incorrect?) impression that the DVI interface on most TVs (like my sony widescreen projection) was not compatible with the DVI interface on most video cards (my Radeon 9700 Pro with DVI and VGA for instance).
I would like to be wrong on this, but I tried everything I could think of and could not get the two to connect.
I often think that liberty comes from keeping the Police poor.
Great point! The idea of keeping the people who keep us safe from criminals understaffed and underequipped is widely seen by many intellectuals and social and political leaders as a great idea. It has many important results, my personal favorite being that it allows the criminals to get away with their crimes!
Didn't see this mentioned, so I might as well add it. I spoke to a guy who is working on this at a major supplier (Kellogs) and the 2005 deadline relates to having an RFID tag inside every crate/box of merchandise, not attached to every piece of merchandise.
It's Sony's choice as to how they'll sell their PSX or PS3, but I don't understand why the parent post supports their shift to an even less competition-friendly product line.
So, the sony memory stick is less competition-friendly than the PS2 memory card? That doesn't make any sense. How is a huge company like Sony using their own standard any different than all the other smaller companies using a myriad of different storage types? At least for Sony, you can always count on one of their products to support the Memorystick format (or Memorystick Pro now). With other companies (many of the digital camera manufacturers for example) you never know what they're going to use. xD, CF, MMC/SD, Smartmedia.
IIRC, Consumer Reports gave the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze a hefty thumbs-down
Then it's a reason to buy one. Consumer Reports is bunch of shit. Anyone who takes there info seriously is indeed an idiot.
Ionic Breezes work really damn well. Kind of expensive, but ever since we've gotten two of them (one for the main floor one for the basement) my (and my fiancees) alergy problems have dissappeared.
Also, if you have 3 TVs, 3 copies of GT3, and 3 PS2s, you can hook them all up together and have all 3 tvs display for one driver. So you have somewhat of a wrap around effect (front left, front, front right).
because some of us consider this somewhat of a worthwhile news source. Think if you were reading the New York Times and you kept finding the same exact news articles again and again and again. You'd cancel your subscription. It's bad journalism.
HP and Compaq now only use Geforce 4 MX 420/440/460s on their higher end machines (HP 763N, 863N, 873N, 883N, Compaq 6370US).
The rest of them use either Intel Extreme Graphics (which are ok (HP 753N, Compaq 6350US)) or a lower grade intel card. They also use cards like the S3 ProSavage (HP 523N, Compaq 6320US)).
Sony uses crap S3 (or is it SiS?) video cards in all of their desktop computers. Which is disappointing. For their laptops they use mainly ATI Radeon derivatives.
Suprisingly, you are much more likely to find an ATI or nVidia card on a HP/Compaq/Toshiba laptop than a desktop, probably because their is still some profit margin left in laptop computers (unlike desktops). Compaq's mid-range 1500 series is all ATI Mobility Radeons, as is HP's mid-range 4000 series and high-end 5000 series. Toshiba's base 1410 series uses Geforce 4 420 Go chipsets, their mid-range 1900 series uses the 440, and their high-end 5200 series uses the 460.
And yes... in case your wondering, I do currently sell computers =)
Whenever playing with friends (with two people on a side) I always want to control the defensemen and the goalie (at which I do a frustratingly good job). I've always aboslutely detested tables with 3 goalies on them. They just don't make any sense in my opinion. There aren't three goalies in real soccer (football) and there are 11 guys on a side in real soccer (football), not 13.
no kidding... this is definitely not "News for Nerds" and it definitely doesn't matter.
The whole article can be summed up in 1 sentence:
"I attached a camera to a train"
This has already been done to many different electronic items and has been posted many times on slashdot (the last one was when a guy put a camera on a really fast RC car. at least that had movies and was somewhat interesting since the car was moving at 30-40mph))
My favorite quote:
Around the same time, I was able to move my track onto a 3'x5' desk, using blue-tack adhesive as a temporary track-bed.
if it's the same Cisco I've worked with, you can just telnet into (the 675/678). No serial cable required.
How are you going to telnet to it before it has an IP address? OK, I guess the serial cable cisco has included with their routers for 15 years isn't really needed...
it's clear you don't know what model I'm referring to, but you like to be an ass, but your ignorance makes you look stupid. It's their DSL modem. The cisco 675/678 automatically sets up as 192.168.0.1 as its internal IP address. So, you plug your computer into it (using the uber fancy network cable that they provide), set up your ip/netmask/etc, and you type: telnet 192.168.0.1
Or you plug your computer into a hub, and the hubs uplink port into the cisco, and do as stated above.
I've set up about 5-10 of these things for friends and families and I've never once used the serial cable. Strange, huh?
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would anyone need two serial ports?
One would think a computer like this would be mostly legacy free. The last computer I built was (using the Abit IT-7) and I haven't missed my PS2 or serial ports one bit.
Couldn't something more useful have been put in their place instead? Like a RCA/s-video out, as this thing would be great to create some sort of media box. Even a standard printer port would be a ton more useful.
Or maybe shuttle has a product like this that I just don't know about?

Quoting the scientists:

Good thing you read the article before posting.
we just get really bored with a sport when we dominate it =p First Greg, now Lance, what are the euro biker boys going to do?
I love responding to post 5 days late.
why can't I, or someone else, reproduce the psuedo-hologram?
even if it's a fairly intricate graphic reproducing on a computer something that would pass for the original is typically fairly easy
to quote Xerox: Can be produced by existing Xerox printing solutions
So anyone with the correct Xerox printer now has the ability to create a close copy of your document, complete with the pseudo-hologram
Lance armstrong would still win?
yeah, that's what I thought...

All new Compaqs, sonys, and HPs come with a utility that allows you to create your own recovery CDs if you so desire it.

The recall is isolated to the BK325I, BK325-RS, BK350, BK350EI, BK350-AZ, BK350-FR, BK350-GR, BK350-IT, BK350-UK, BK350JP, BK350IX218, BK475I, BK475-RS, BK500, BK500EI, BK500-AZ, BK500-BR, BK500-FR, BK500-GR, BK500-IT, BK500-UK, BK500BLK, BK500JP, and BK500TW product models.
Oh, is that it? Well, good, at least it's isolated to only those 24 models.
(I know... i know... they're only a bunch of variations of three different models, but that's not as funny)

Here's another question:
What do you prefer, 3 goalies or one goalie?
Whenever playing with friends (with two people on a side) I always want to control the defensemen and the goalie (at which I do a frustratingly good job). I've always aboslutely detested tables with 3 goalies on them. They just don't make any sense in my opinion. There aren't three goalies in real soccer (football) and there are 11 guys on a side in real soccer (football), not 13.
178MBps would mean about 22MB/s
no, 178MBps = 178MB/s
Now... 178M b ps = 22.25 MB/s
it's all in the capitalization =)
DirectX doesn't support cars
Does it support cdrs?
(for those who read slashdot daily... yes, I did indeed rip off that lame attempt from humor from a post a day or two ago)
=)
Does his lawyer have a soul?
Is this a trick question? Lawyers don't have souls =)
i wonder if you have to sign a EULA just to purchase the computer
Probably not, but you do already have to agree to 3 or 4 before you can actually start using WinXP (one of which I'm sure includes DRM statements)

The initial set-up of my cisco DSL router required a serial port
