Re:What about prescription lens wearers?

As a life-long wearer of prescription lenses I'm with you on this. The two major implementations that I've seen are Dolby (wavelength multiplex) and Real-D (circular polarization). Of the two I *strongly* prefer the Real-D glasses because
1) They are much lighter weight. 2) they don't interact oddly with the house lighting (filtering one eye more than the other).
That's a pretty trivial filtering problem. It looks like it's all based on a set of load cells, so the question is if you look at the down forces on, say, the four corners of your bed what does sex "look" like? Fourier transforms would convert running measurements to frequency measurements. I'd say you look for a minimum of 5-10 seconds of oscillations at a given frequency (anything from maybe 1 to 10Hz). You then require a 2+ minute span of continuing recurrences. Filter out total weights that indicate only one person (or, you know, don't). Figure peak, average, and maybe std deviation of the frequency/ampitude spectrum recored for the "event" and use those numbers to do your "grading".
I have 30 apps (not including the pre-installed ones and direct Safari links) on my iPhone, all free (I'm a cheapskate, sue me). Of those 5 directly use the camera, 12 have some location awareness, 4 do direct audio capture and processing, and three use the compass. Maybe these will become web-enabled hardware APIs, but I don't think any of them are today. So, more than half of my applications would have fewer features if implemented as web applications. At least 10 of them wouldn't be on my phone without their specific hardware features.
Two similar pictures: 1) Fat man dresses in lingerie and stands on White House front lawn in protest of imported garments. 2) Fat man dresses in lingerie doing the cha-cha (or the time-warp perhaps) at a friend's party.
Is it news? Though the camera's lens takes the same picture I hope you would admit that reason yields two different answers. There's lots of factual things that could be reported but aren't news. Maybe the *first* such performance of Rocky was news, but now it's just facts.
And we get back to my point that context is king. My opera question illustrates the point exactly: context establishes and informs social norms (which you seem to support, while in the same breath calling me stupid...unique). You can't take someone's actions in one context and transpose it to a wholly different one without expecting an (at least) occasional reaction.
I'm not saying the OP has *no* point. I'm saying that these ex-cast members do as well. Given this a reasonable reaction is to form some sort of compromise. The OP *is* wrong in that he has flatly refused to consider such.
As a thought experiment: if your local paper sent someone to the show to take pictures for publication would they get releases from the actors? I'm guessing they would, which would put the performance at least in the grey area between public and private. I'm betting (some of) those performers wouldn't have gone to the opera wearing their RHPS lingerie.
Privacy has a contextual component. In this case the context is a performance made *to a like-minded audience*. You can't separate the context of these pictures from the situation in which they were taken. Publishing them openly is a change in context, and is, rightly, being seen as a breach of the performer's privacy expectations.
If it's really only for you and the cast then put it all behind a membership wall. People inactive for too long no longer get access, but you and your cast can see anything from any time. Maybe even allow past cast members to request access. This has the advantage that it doesn't breach the parameters of the original context.
In my area there's a place called TechShop which takes pretty much any old electronics that have re-usable components. They are then free to use for the members who want to make something (robots, clocks, plotters, mobiles, whatever). See if you've got one where you live.
Personally I don't want some religion to tell me what medical procedures I can/cannot have because they think their holy book would approve/disapprove.
While I can get behind this from the religious perspective, I'd prefer us to focus on the scientific negatives of self directed genetic selection. When the zombie appocalypse rolls around maybe only the genetic freaks will be immune.
If he had a 'well known' antipathy for Microsoft then it was known when he was hired as CEO. Presumably the board of directors considered it a good thing or they would have hired someone else. Investment is risk. If you can't accept that risk don't invest.
I'm not certain your statements are entirely correct. I attempted to create a binary pattern to start with and there are some ambiguities in the coding positions. For instance, on the left hand side of both code blocks some of the "first" ticks don't align with other first ticks. There are also some places in the code where the vertical alignment is ambiguous. If there cannot be consecutive spaces and there *can* be spaces in the first and last columns then I'd read the first block as:
Line 1) 11101101110110111011101110111010101011010111011 (47 digits) Line 2) 01110111011101101110101110110110101101110111010 Line 3) 11010101011101110101011101101110101101101110111 Line 4) 0111011101110110101101011011101101011101010111 Line 5) 0111010101110111011101110101110111011101010101 Line 6) 1101010111011101110111011011101101110110110101 Line 7) 1101110110111010111011101110101011010110111010 Line 8) 1110111011011101011101011 (25/26 digits)
Consecutive spaces allow the coding to always hit 47 characters, but dramatically increases the complexity of the problem. I'm wondering if the whole code is continuous, meaning that the last tick on line 5 and the first two ticks on line 6 are actually one code three ticks wide (also 6-7). The spaces in the first and last columns of the first two lines seem to imply this...
How about a release for the iPhone? It would be so cool to be able to play with this during all thos 5-15 minute idle times I have. It seems like it would be a reasonable interface for it also.

It's ridiculous to think that these prices are going to last, and that when the "correction" comes, that it will be anything but drastic.
Do you do this with your gas also? "There's the gas-n-go cornering the market with $0.99 gasoline...I better not buy until they settle on a more reasonable price."
Interesting logic...can I sign up for your newsletter?
Well, there's only a million billion possibilities, but some highlights:
1) Haptic response (specifically for the keyboard) 2) Stereo bluetooth 3) Swappable battery 4) Geolocation (GPS, AGPS, tower triangulation, celestial navigation for all I care) 5) Non-AT&T 6) Use accelerometers for more than just view rotation...maybe press and hold home button for pan and zoom 7) Video recording
Most of these could be (or *are being*) accomplished with: 8) SDK for third party drivers/applications (solves 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and maybe 7)
and maybe: 9) open source core drivers/applications (keyboard, Bluetooth stack, video) to kickstart #8

If you had a four dimensional pizza it wouldn't matter how you sliced it. All cross sections would be a pizza.

Short sweet and too the point, with bonus points for cross genre snark.
There's no way this withstands a 2nd amendment challenge...the NRA will be all over it.
I'll put on my rose colored glasses and suggest a totally improbable third option:
Now, I don't honestly *believe* this, but it isn't *impossible*. Yeah, I know...it's right up there with my theory that rainbows are unicorn poo.
Somewhere in here there's a joke about pentagonal snowballs in hell and the end of the world. I just can't make it coalesce.
This specifically states that unless there is rebellion or invasion, the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended.
Well, Many of the natives of Afghanistan and Iraq see US 'occupation' as an invasion. Perhaps Bush thought that was sufficient.
The UK's use of the name Skynet precedes the Terminator movies.

Of all the comments that deserve "+5 Flamebait" this one is it. Absolutely *phenomenal* troll. You managed to soak up a vast quantity of moderation.

What color are most roads? What do dark colors do in sunlight? What happens when air heats up? What's the easiest way for a bird to stay aloft?
Lets all say it together...correllation != causality.
Actually i think a few layers of lead paint on the sucker wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Since they'll undoubtedly be made in China, the lead paint is free!
