Green is the primary. You're mixing up subtractive and additive primary colors. The additive (or light-based) primary colors are the colors that your cones respond to. Color theory is really a statement about how our eyes work. We have 3 sets of cones which respond to different wavelength ranges of light. These ranges happen to be centered over red, blue and green light, which is why they get to be the primary colors, and not some other set (which if chosen correctly would also work).
Subtractive primary colors are just white minus one of the additive primary colors. These are handy to work with in pigment because they absorb one of the primary colors. (Cyan absorbs red, magenta absorbs green, and yellow absorbs blue)
You don't have to pick. I bought an iBook last fall and split the drive between OS X and Mandrake 9.1 PPC. Now I can switch between whichever is better for the task at hand. Throw Virtual PC for Mac into the mix, and now you have a laptop which can run OS X, x86 operating systems, and Linux.:)
Yeah, my university does a similar authentication process via SSL, but there is no VPN option for email access. We have a SSL webmail program, but webmail is really bothersome to use, hence my hope for better protocol support.
I generally don't care whether my email messages are encrypted, but I do care about whether my email password is being sent out cleartext. Something like digest authentication would be fine, but I don't think IMAP or POP3 does that, so I have to go all out and use IMAPS.
Universities are probably the worst places for wireless security:
Many are installing public (or at least semi-public) WAPs all over campus.
They are generally not even using WEP because of the overhead and because the goal is to make it as easy as possible for people to jump on the network. (Yes, I realize WEP in most cases is worthless anyway, but it at least raises the bar.)
There is a high density of wireless users checking their email.
Few use IMAPS or POP3S either due to laziness or insufficient computational resources on the email servers.
This all adds up to make it really easy to sniff usernames and passwords just by sitting in a campus hangout area with a packet sniffer.
I have whined at my University for IMAPS support and was told that, while they were interested, they couldn't roll it out because their servers couldn't handle the extra CPU load from all that encryption/decryption. I suspect the answer is the same in other places.
I've seen one source which recommend we call it a "wavicle" to emphasize that light isn't somehow switching its behavior to confuse us. It is what it is, and it doesn't map directly onto our macroscopic experience.
The other term that sounds a little less silly is a "quantized field" or "quantum field". A classical field is basically a wave, and adding in the quantum part gives it the chunkiness to make it look particle-like in some circumstances. Incidentally, you can treat everything, not just light, as a quantum field. You can experiment with the wave properties of electrons, just like you can with light.
(Since the wavelength of the electron is inversely proportional to the energy, and the electron has a mass contribution to its energy, the wavelength is really, really short. Still, you can do stuff like interference and diffraction experiments with crystals, whose lattice spacing is small enough to be comparable to the wavelengths of slow electrons.)
Amazing. I never thought of bogus quoting as a troll technique. The obviousness of the tactic is pretty astounding now that I see it, however. Since people seldom read the whole article, you could probably slip some pretty inflammatory comments encased in quotation marks right under the disbelief radar and get the community bile going.:)
As another ex-high school student, I can recall almost all of the payphones on my high school campus being in varying states of perpetual brokenness.
There were a number of occassions I would have much appreciated (or I was fortunate enough to borrow) a cell phone.:)
Actually, this isn't too abnormal for a CS class in a poor region. My AI teacher was from India, and he practiced LISP on a chalkboard when he was in school. I don't know when he actually got to do it on a real PC. (He was also an excellent programmer/researcher in spite of, or maybe because of, the experience.)
The README, which you probably didn't see because the submitter didn't include a link to the actual release page, explains this briefly:
As far as your computer is concerned, a Neuros is just an external USB
1 hard disk, following the USB Mass Storage standard. You can copy
any sort of file, music or otherwise, onto the Neuros. However, only files
that are listed in a special database stored on the Neuros will be
playable. This is where positron is needed. It will both physically
copy files and update the Neuros database so those files are playable.
Apparently the author of the article missed Distributed Proofreaders. They seem to have survived their Slashdotting and actually retained a good fraction of their new users. This month they've proofed 116,827 pages! (Cut that in half for unique pages, I think) They have completed in their 2(?) years of existence 918 books, and have another 317 being assembled. It really seems like they are only limited by what they can get their hands on in the public domain.
No, no, no! The contraversy over the results of the gravity measurement surrounds the MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE, not the conclusion. You would have to look *really*, *really* hard to find a working physicist who thought that the influence of gravity was instantaneous. You'd have an easier time finding a "Pacifists for Bombing Iraq" organization to join.
Hahaha. The last sentence of the parent comment seems to be a vivid example of the "Everyone's against me" syndrome on Slashdot. I've seen a lot of people (myself included) over-focus on the comments that are contrary to their opinion, and assume that everyone on Slashdot disagrees with them.
I suggest you go back through the comments in this article and count the number of pro-DMCA posts. Even if you include the trolls, I don't think you'll hit more than 30%.:)
Licensing summary

Real DRM

· Score: 4, Informative
The Ogg and Vorbis specifications (different than the code) are totally open for reimplementation in whatever license you want to whatever degree of compatability you want. (i.e. you can create the new Vorbis-over-Pigeon format if that suits your fancy. There is no requirement that you implement the spec completely or exactly as I've seen on some other formats. In fact, since there are no patents involved and the spec is public, I'm pretty sure there is no legal way to enforce limitations on how you use the spec, thankfully.)
The reference encoder and decoder libraries for both Ogg and Vorbis are licensed under a BSD license.
The reference tools are released under a GPL license. (Those who don't like these terms can easily write their own using the BSD-licensed reference libraries.)
There are no limitations placed on the output of any of these programs. Do what you want with your data.:)
It is equally interesting to see the number of people here who will go out of their way to interpret someone's words in the least favorable way possible and/or twist them so they can grind their favorite axe.
You have not answered the poster's question but rather engaged in some ego-wanking.

Sufficiently advanced trolling is indistinguishable from sincere argument.

Only in Kansas.
Photocopying, document printing, and some have public access Internet terminals (for a fee).

For something you are going to stand on with no restraining device, yes.

No, this only plays Vorbis.

The Neuros actually is a USB Mass Storage device. See my other comment for why positron is needed.
You can also get it $10 cheaper than B&N on Half.com.
