    Also, his white LEDS need far less energy than normal incandescent lamps and can thus provide plenty of opportunity for energy-saving in the industrialized world.

    Third world too, Dr. Dave Irvine-Halliday sent white LEDs to Nepal, India and Sri-Lanka. A whole village can be illuminated with 100W.

  12. And who's going to gatecrash Bilderberg on Crashing the Wiretapper's Ball · · Score: 5, Interesting
    This sounds more like the Secret Squirrel's convention. "Hush talk, looking over their shoulder". Geez why don't they wear trenchcoat and sunglasses indoors, walk tippy toed while going "dunt-dunt-dunt-dunt" .

    That's the decoy conference.

    Bilderberg think-tank conference in Ottawa this June is where the real stuff happens.

    I have no idea who is attending and what goes on in there... which is precisely why it worries me.

  16. Re:No thanks. on DirectX 10 & the Future of Gaming · · Score: 1
    Yep, it'll no doubt be a dismal failure the likes of which have not been seen since the time that technology was developed that required everyone to have win95 and excluded all the dos & win3.x users ... what was it called ... oh yeah, DirectX 1.0.

    So you're comparing the technology leap between DOS/W31 to Win95, that is, going from a 16bit, preemptive multitask and 1MB memory to a 32bit memory architecture with preemptive multitasking with 2GB of Virtual Memory Management
    and
    What is essentialy a DRM, security (ha!) and eye candy upgrade to Windows XP.

  17. No thanks. on DirectX 10 & the Future of Gaming · · Score: 3, Insightful
    You will not find DirectX 10 being released for the Windows XP operating system. DirectX 10 is deeply embedded into Windows Vista operation and we currently know of no plans by Microsoft to allow Windows XP to officially support the new API.

    Essentially, any game requiring DX10 support will screw itself out of an audience. A lot of people are not about to sacrifice a working XP install just to get some new game.
    Especially if it means that losing 50% of multimedia functionality due to mandatory Digital Restrictions Management being enforced at the OS level.

  19. Re:Lots of things on Software for Your Musical Instruments? · · Score: 1

    For Piano, there are a lot of great programs. And they are ruthless. They hook up to your MIDI keyboard, and will evaluate every little detail of your performance. Could you name-drop a few of them so I can get a good google search? Right now 'midi piano evaluation analysis' does not return anything useful. Particularly the ones that respond to 'real' digital piano key velocity.
