Sadly, Trinity requires students to live on campus until their senior year. At least that was the case until at least 3 years ago when I graduated, so many of the students there have no choice concerning where they live. It would be unfortunate if this is Trinity and this censorship would cause students to choose to go elsewhere, because they have some really great profs there.
The only reason I would want online backup is to protect against theft, fire, multiple hardware failure, or other disasters. Being three feet away isn't quite far enough.
I am surprised by how high the prices on these services are. I just checked my Dreamhost account, and I now have over 25 gigs available for $10/month. I had no idea it had grown so much since I last checked.
Code licensed under GPLv2 can be used with the GPLv3 instead, but it doens't have to be so. This isn't like pulling the rug out from everyone as changing a EULA with a service pack is.
Yeah, machine vision has a way to go to get to a point for much of the subtle features lost in mocap but preserved in video to be useful.
But then again, I'd rather have the video of the dancer in the first place rather than a dancing robot playing back mocap data. It seems to me to be more about a gimick to show off the robot than preserving the dance style.
How would multiple video angles provide anything more than motion capture as far as a robot is concerned, which would give 3D joint angles and positions? The "primitiveness" of a robot has no effect on the quality of the motion capture data. Video might capture subtleties that motion capture can't due to marker placement and size, but it would not give us anything that can be recorded to be reproduced by a robot or simulation.
Anyone who would actually pay for this shit deserves to. Frontline had a great episode focusing on the music industry with quite a bit about the construction of this band.
For amusement, go get a laser pointer and point it at some bicycle strips, and you will notice that your hand holding the laser pointer is painted with laser light, regardless of the angle you hit the strip from.
Neat trick, I didn't think it would work, so I had to try it myself. So you bring up a good point, is there a material effective at reflecting infrared? If so, this whole project seems like a complete waste of time and energy.
Person has a hole in his pocket. He loses change, but doesn't seem to notice. Another person informs this man of the hole and tries to collect the change strewn on the ground to show him as evidence of the problem. Man with hole is outraged and has the other arrested for theft of his change and the trouble of switching to an old pair of pants with no hole.
A good history of the May 1st Labor Day and why it takes place in September for those of us in the states is here. I hope this day of silence brings attention to the CARP bill and copyright stupidity in general.
The music industry gloats as people rush to buy the last "real" CD's before they all become "copy protected," only the discs never seem to become copy protected. But we keep hearing about it how it's coming.
Want to make something copy protected? I have a microphone and a tape recorder right here that says you can't.
Their hardware never ceases to amaze me with its ability to suddenly break itself. At my workplace in a university library computing center, every computer has a Jaz and Zip drive, and they are rarely ever working right. Lately the Jaz drives have taken to erratically blinking lights for no good reason. It's great.
One possible issue this article doesn't mention is that the launch developers expect the console to come out on time and in turn make a good deal of money off of their launch titles. If the the box is delayed, revenue is delayed for the developers. They likely wouldn't forget this when they chose a system to develop future titles for.
It looks like they already removed the smut store. You can still get to it with the old URL, but go to http://shopping.yahoo.com/video/ and the link to the porn is gone, or at least they moved it somewhere I can't find. Or maybe I'm missing something entirely.

There is this list on the Mono site.
If you must use MS compilers, there are the usual suspects: C#, VB.Net, and the like, as well as Python.

This was in SIGGRAPH 2004, as were plenty of other great papers. Are we waiting another 6 months to see those on Slashdot?

FileZilla is a nice FTP/SFTP client and apparently a server too, but I've never tried using it for that.

Does that make the employees of your ISP retarts?

Cygwin can do this already.
Yeah, can't imagine a worse name, really.
Are you kidding? This is great! I can't wait to see the conspiracy theorists pulling their hair out trying to connect the dots.
Much like a dying empire, the RIAA is struggling to remain relevant.
Hopefully this will steer more people to buy music from the artists themselves. CD Baby has been a good source in my experience.

Does this make any sense? Not to me.
Savvas Ysatis is great. Especially check out his and Taylor Deupree's contribution to the Architettura series, Tower of Winds.
Although not strictly electronic, I would also suggest Bill Laswell. Try Invisible Design.
I would recommend Forced Exposure to anyone looking for good music.

I think something like this would be really cool for browsing with something like Opera. Just wave your hand and go back.
How about Black and White anyone?
