Is an excellent alternative(granted at a higher price). For about $250 and $100 for a higher multiple lens, you can view excellent, high quality magnifications of your specimens.
I am thinking about getting one, but want to see if higher (500x) magnification is going to be available. See www.bodelin.com for details.
....did Slashdot become a movie review site? For bad movies? Why do I have to suffer through seeing a crappy movie review at the top of the list when I check out slashdot on Sunday morning. Why does this guy have free reign to publish whatever he wishes on this site? Does he own half of it or something? This spoiled my day.
There should be some good quotes in the upcoming part of the trial. Hopefully, the prosecutors won't be too in awe of his wealth to avoid asking the hard questions. Providing source code? When? For windows? I hope that countries like India move to open source so they force Microsoft to compete where it counts. The open marketplace. Not the courtroom.
Yikes. Your example of the 25% tip sent a shiver up my spine. Inflation???
And you are correct. If you have a hard time with percentages, you are seriously screwed.
Not to pick on Americans, but what has happened to the support for science in this country? Science and engineering degrees as a percentage of total degrees have been on the downward slope since the 1970s, especially for domestic students.
I like the quote from William Gibson, "The Japanese have forgotten more about nerve splicing than the Chinese have ever learned." Might as well apply to Americans. Course, I am being a little hard on us....
My personal experience in the IT world for the past eight years is that general scientific literacy among Americans is on the decline. Ignorance of basic scientific principles, methods and tools from co-workers and customers amazes me on a daily basis. Ex. The metric system. The ability to perform simple conversions such as inches to cm and pounds to kg. Ex. The ability to perform math operations more complex than arithmetic. Ex. The ability to interpret statistical data in a meaningful manner.
Given the sorry state of affairs, it is not surprising that people beleive in perpetual motion machines and other devices that violate the laws of thermodynamics.
I dunno. Based on Ellison's attitude in a privacy article in last weeks NYT Sunday magazine, I wouldn't doubt that the guy would do anything to boost sales and get Oracle's share price back up to 50-60 bucks a share. What an ego on this guy. This California fiasco makes Microsoft seem benign in comaprison.
I recently had a new 18.1" LCD screen from NEC loaned to me for a trial period. Wow. I used it connected to my HP Omnibook and the larger screen was incredible. I forget the resolution I was running, but it was great for working on documents side-by-side. Going back to the 14" on my laptop was disappointing.
I am setting up an 802.11b wireless network in my girlfriend's apartment. When I come over, I can bring out my laptop and access her cable modem connection. We are located on the top floor of a 3-story apartment building at the corner and I bet if I position the antenna right, I can cover 200 other houses and apartments. I would be happy to get a 768kbs DSL line as a backup and sell the service. That is until the cable companies get wise and shut down the NAT on the boxes.
OK. So I am now going to pay to listen to less music? You can say goodbye to these schemes now, as they have no chance of suceeding. Do these people honestly think there is a market for this, now that music is free for all intents and purposes? The proverbial genie has been let out of the bottle.
Points taken. It is good that you have the equivalent of a privacy policy. Don't get me wrong, I've just seen some very unscrupulous bar owners...
Here in Chicago, it is $3.75 for a domestic and $4.75 for a 16oz pint of Guiness(at a local bar I frequent). Mixed drinks average $5.50. Granted, liquor taxes are high here.
That's a decent argument and it's nice to hear from someone who is actually employing this system, but I think there is something fundamentally wrong with this idea. Yeah, it is good for your business and yeah it keeps your liability down. But where does it stop? And what is the potential for abuse? How do I know that is the only info you are taking off of my card? I usually run a tab at the bars I go to and pay at the end in cash. What if Miller offered you $50,000 for your database along with your customers' preferences? Are you installing cameras too?
Look, bars are one of the few refuges in the modern world. That is why I pay $4.50 to drink a beer in one. That's $27 a sixer. If you can't pay your insurance on those margins, then you're in the worng business. WTF?
Of course, I should not be writing this under the influence of six beers.....
Or posting it on/. for that matter. Someone links my email w/ my name and I'm pegged.;)

Nice try.....

...that this discussion has deteriorated into illicit drug use.
/. is for!
Then again, that is what
What would happen if you took this with an Ambien, a couple of beers, a Tylenol-3 and a grande mocha? I think you would time travel...

My 2 cents....
The "click-of-death" is for Zip disks.
I just bought a WD 7200 RM ATA-100 60GB drive yesterday for $89.99. That's money that Big Blue could of used to prop up their share price....
..Apple would switch from IE, there would be some progress away from MS.
Read it before you accept it.
I don't know. I think I was tired.
Umm....
First:
U.S. ~270 million
China ~1.13 billion
Second:
How could China obliterate Asia and Europe?
Europe (excl. Russia) ~380 million
Rest of Asia ~1.73 billion
Third:
What does population have to do with it?
Fourth:
What is your last point???

yes, the bodies are titanium.

When will it be available in Hong Kong for US $2.50?
