Cleartype can't even handle a non-LCD display. No matter what you get colored banding on a CRT at the edges of fonts. You can turn on regular font smoothing but then that doesn't even get applied to small fonts.
1024x768 is "higher" than 720p in that it cannot be displayed within it with out scaling down, but by that logic 1x721 is "higher" than 720p as well. 720p is 1280x720; multiply it out, it is higher.
Yeah and when your pacemaker doesn't fire for a second that could be a bit dangerous (I know pacemakers have no real use of a full date system so it wouldn't come into effect here but it is just to get you thinking).
He didn't work for Cisco and so could not have used their in-house protocols. They have methods for people outside of the company to work with them and they are probably what you were talking about but it was a noteworthy mistake.
"Would you rather die working for your country, for humanity, doing important scientific work that will pave the way for future generations, or [would you rather die in the space shuttle working for NASA as an astrona...publicity stunt]." Now that isn't actually fair as they do do some scientific work, but the fact is it is so cost inefficient for the results that it is insane. The shuttle is a big big money pit.
Wow, you would take that chance just to go in orbit? It isn't like some heaven or something, it is just freefall. What is so great about it? You won't be remembered in history for going into orbit or anything unless you were the first. You will get a good view, that's about it.
Yeah instead of being a plane and a spaceship this next one is gonna be a plane, a spaceship, a car, and a motorboat. They took a bad step when they created the shuttle, what makes you think they will take an innovative (to me innovative implies "better," not just "new" or "more complex") approach for what comes next?
"Not. The current age of the universe is not enough to explain how a single strand of quaternarily-encoded DNA could come into being that contained data about 3-dimensional protein structures which could be used to manufacture the components of its own containing cell structure, let alone the variety of forms of life that exist." The universe is large. You are forgetting that in all your calculations. You are all like "well if a monkey flipped dice for a zillion years he wouldn't win the lottery." Well I have news for you, the amount of complexity respresented in your examples is nothing in comparison to a single exhale of smoke. Quadrazillionillions of random processes are going on every planck length tick of time.
If you are a suspect in a minor counterfeiting scheme and your house is investigated, bam they have your serial number. Not extremely useful for cracking the initial case but useful none the less.
Well you did land first post on both sites and it almost seems as though you are on a mission to expose TV news as some kind of nascar-like spectacle (which I'll be happy to agree, it is). The problem is with your methodology. The person who made the comment was an ex-astronaut who was referring back to how the vultures made him feel/would make him feel if he was there today given the recent events. It wasn't fucking some general newsperson like Brit Hume or something calling for blood and explosions.
This only works in middle range, as you began to point out (saying that it would only matter with very very slow computers). The fact is it would be a huge advantage to have computers that are many many orders of magnitude faster and with much more primary storage than we do today. This could enable for instance particle simulations for virtual wind tunnels with air particles and aircraft at full scale--which is beyond impossible today. We have the technology to do it, there just simply isn't anywhere near the computing power to make it happen.
Fingerprints?!?!? What nerve do they have! They want you to have to carry around a card all day that has your fingerprints stamped on it? That's absolutely preposterous! Next thing you know they will want you to bring your hands and fingers along when you leave the house!! Don't you think the fingerprint concern is a bit alarmist as you are already carrying around your fingerprints?
"Should be no patent or copyright problems." That's not true for patents. If you independently come up with a solution to a problem that is patented it doesn't matter; the first inventor keeps their rights. So if a particular way of implementing some instruction was patented they would have to find a new way even if they independentlty came up with the same way.
Just a note on keystone correction--many video cards (I know for sure modern NVidia cards) have keystone correction capabilities built-in. On an NVidia card go to nview properties and then the tools tab and click enable keystone correction. You can then get to a menu to do all the adjustments. The keystone correction in your projector is going to be cropping pixels as well so it really doesn't matter if you do it on your card or on the projector.
Wait. You spend all this money on some penis enlarging theater system and you don't even have any real life friends you can show it off to and brag about it to? You have to come on Slashdot to do it? We can't even see it.
I don't see too many aircraft designers interested in flying around the world 8,000 times on one tank of gas--it isn't currently feasible. If we had the technology to model a full ecosystem capable of encompassing all of life's existence don't you think we would have cured cancer by now? Look, even a very (comparatively) simple model is so far beyond our current reach it is unbelievable. We can barely run protein folding models let alone model complex ecosystems simultaneously on macro, micro, and atomic scales.
Two organisms have to have the mutation present at the same time. It is a fairly rare event. It is kinda like having 2 raid 1 harddrives fail at the same time.

This doesn't invalidate their patent but it shows that it isn't just some idea no one else is mulling over: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,65347, 00.html

"Has it been scientifically proven that everything that can be observed can be explained?" No, but the converse has been proven with Godel's Proof.
It is advertising? "Buy our chips because in 18 months they will only be half as good as what we will have available then." Advertising?

To use an RSS feed on google you don't end up with any ads either. Google doesn't have ads on it's main page.

That suit had an important purpose, a big effect, was ironic, etc. etc. but that still doesn't save it from being what it was: frivolous.
Is there any way for these other companies offer DSL if you don't have phone service?
