Your eyes sense light, and your brain interprets the pattern.
This doesn't really give the full picture. The eye does not work like a CCD-based video camera -- the cells in the retina fire under various contidions like: is half the cell lit up? Is a band of light and dark moving horozontally across the cell? Is the cell a repeater or does it just fire once until the surrounding cells fire?
The human eye is far more complex than "recieve pixellated image from retina, give to brain".
Notice than in the rebuttals they sidestep around.NET's biggest flaw: The API is far too huge and convoluted. If VS.NET didn't have method autocomplete it would be near impossible to learn in a reasonable amount of time.
Any bets on if Halo 3 will end with the Master Chief about to Press The Button what Blows Up The Aliens and then it'll end and then we'll get Halo 4: Press The Button and Blow Up The Aliens?
I thought they were cooling panels. Solar panels don't seem to make much sense as there's not enough area to convert light to the amount of energy needed to power one of those things.
Although you'd think that if they're cooling panels then they'd be radiating in the visible spectrum during battles...

Isn't this just the New Cobol?

... is where the hell is my Wind Waker sequel??
Want!
Completely being the operative word.
Go outside.
But with this new physics processing unit, I don't have to!
Let me guess: You then attach all your floppies to a whiteboard with magnets?
Well, how else is he supposed to keep all the bits from falling off?

Been there. Sunk a ton of time into that game.
Aside from the tedious "find the trifoce fragments" mission near the end, it's a fantastic game with a coooool story.
I almost wish I could wipe Windwaker from my mind completly so I could play it afresh!

Never said Slashdot was balanced... :)
For some reason this reminds me of "Highlander 2: Director's Cut".
:)
And I hated that movie.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
*raises hand*
I need to be modded "not hugged enough as an adult by cute females of the human persuasion".
(offtopic, lame, but not a troll or flamebait! the universe stays in balance!)
Or 360 times more expensive -- they'll get away with it, too, because it will ship with Halo 3 - The Ending You Should Have Got With Halo 2
*bows head in shame*
i never understood this. why do you have to go 9km/s to escape the Earth's gravity?
if you can move upwards at an inch a day, eventually you would leave gravitational pull, woudln't you? why is the 9km/s significant?
The 9km/s is significant if you only have the launch velocity to work with (like throwing a rock).
The inch per day example only works if you're constantly accellerating (say, via a rocket).
In highschool I had it memorized to 3.1415926539. No idea why.
... ix-nay on the otton-ray....
*snorpth*
What's even more scary is I get the reference.
It's to small to be a space station!... ...
I have a very bad feeling about this...
Americas aren't stupid. They're mean.
And ignorant. And self-righteous.
Not all Americans are like this. Just most of them.
I am embarrassed by my own country.
"New DRM Scheme To Make Duplicate Slashdot stories Obsolete"
How 'bout: New DRM Scheme to Make Duplicate Slashdot stories illegal. You're not allowed to do that anymore.
I thought communism was an economic system, not a form of government.
Hey, give that dirt a break. When 200 billion years old you reach, look as good you will not.

Using what calendar is 2029 only 14 years away?
That depends on A) The mass of your planet, and B) The relative velocity of the observer making the calculation.
