But Lucas recovered! Now everybody will have to shell out for the new super special edition in which every character except the ewoks is played by Jar Jar!
$25K sounds a bit low for median income, but I'll bite. I spent a decade in grad school, got a PhD on physics from one of the best universities in my field. I've managed several dozen half million dollar contracts. I work the usual 70-100 hour work week. I also live in one of the highest cost of living areas in the country. This is why I make the big bucks.
In the end, cooperation really is the goal of free software/open source anyway. Destroying Microsoft would be a net loss for everyone. Microsoft slowly converting to an open/free development model is a scenario in which everyone wins.
Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Actually yes. I've got a 770 and it's really nice as an eBook and a video player. It's got the iPhone beat on resolution hands down (800x480). It supports 3rd party hacks from word one and can support a real keyboard. On the other hand I don't want a crippled robot turd with a long term commitment with AT&T.
Robert Redford was a total 70's geek in that. Total bookworm, relied on knowledge and tricks to outwit his enemies. And he haxored the phone system just to call Houseman's character.
Throw in Feynman as well. The guy was the Hunter S. Thompson of physics. Anyway, in the right subfields of Physics there's quite a bit of cool visuals. For example I do 3D displays way cool. Folks doing big physics (Arecibo, VLA, Keck ) have seriously cool eyecandy.
In any case, most of the professions portrayed positively in TV: Law, Police work, Finance, CSI, and Fashion are painfully dull in real life.
The CYA and ridiculous wargame ground rules of this plane must be nothing short of spectacular.
There I fixed it for you... What do you expect? If the F-35 was reported to blow chunks half the brass would be retiring. Every new incredibly expensive fighter is reported to be invincible (particularly since the production ratio is also 60:1). My bet is that it gets ripped to shreds a few years down the line by cheap UCAVs made by a power that doesn't have a pilot-centric military culture.
Damn straight. I'd pop >$200 for a StarBlast (which you can retrofit to a nice CCD imager later) or get a middling nice 80mm refractor (which can be used as a spotter/guider later) and a cheap equatorial mount and get out and observe. Once you have a handle on the basics you can retrofit for CCD imaging and get a better scope to fit your needs.
In the Meantime you can indulge your desire for astrophotography by looking into off chip integration and drift integration no equatorial mount needed! Check out the "QuickCam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group" QCUIAG.
I am a PhD in Physics and have designed closely related electromyographic (EMG) systems with bluetooth. I can tell you that yes it is a problem of basic physics. An EMG or ECG consists of a high impeadence amplifier which is built to pick up very small currents between electrodes. While the desired signal is the impulses within the muscles, the currents induced by an electromagnetic wave acting upon a conductor (including sweaty skin) will generate a stronger signal. Getting EMGs to work under any conditions is a flaming b**ch on wheels, even in the presence of simple things such as mains currents. When you toss in RFI things get much worse especially if some component of the system is acting as a rectifier. You can shield the circuit and filter the signal but RFI/EMI is going to play hell with the system in the best of circumstances.
By my definition a machine is "broken" when it does not accomplish the task it is designed for. Very nice, but in the real world everything has limitations and tradeoffs and outside of the brains of PHBs you gotta stick to the cold equations, and not the fantasy of arbitrary semantic definitions.
Even still, it's hard to see the benefit from future science students passing by guessing. Obviously, he doesn't realize that scientists are actually psychics who get their answer by "guessing" up magic stuff beamed into their brains. At least that's what I was taught, and it must be true 'cause I passed all my exams!
McFarlane has a vision of Oz that is a dark, edgy and muscular PG-13, without a singing Munchkin in sight," wrote journalist Michael Fleming. "That was clear with a toy line he launched several years ago that featured a buxom Dorothy and Toto re-imagined as an over-sized snarling warthog.
Olson's vision is of a bit tamer PG movie and hopefully the two can find some middle ground of compromise that will please them both and not hurt the final product.
Skype further stressed that there was no malicious activity and user security was never in any danger. But since it was a result of a Microsoft patch isn't that a contradiction?
If you don't go to the store in the first place you are committing theft!
Even if you are a supplier who's product doesn't meet arbitrary profit margins you are committing theft and must pay!!
If corporations don't make their unrealistic profit margins due to failed business models, government must step in and force consumers and suppliers to cough up the money, it's pure capitalism and if you don't believe in it you're a damn commie!
Like most of the TSA and the DHS poor design abetted with high levels of secrecy and politicization results in a fragile system. With a large number of single points of failure and a lack of fall-backs and fail-safes means that one problem hoses the system. One wonders what happens when things really go pear shaped in an unanticipated fashion.
One of the best Anime films ever made. In this cereberal political triller, a series of carefully calibrated terrorist attacks with possible military links pushes the civilian goverment of Japan to the verge of collapse. As the Self Defense Forces take to the streets of Tokoyo a small group of police desparately atempt to unravel the secret behind the attacks before a military takeover and near certian American intervention. Made well before 9/11 this film has remarkable resonance today. Giant Robot Alert: Strangely enough there are giant robots (well thought out rescue and crowd control robots, as well as a praticularly neat traffic control robot) at the beginning and end of the movie (if you really don't like robots, just jump ahead to the third chapter, it won't take away from the plot). The robots function in the same manner as the witches in Macbeth: as plot devices which move along the story (what Hitchcock would call a McGuffin), and just as Macbeth is not a story about Witches, this is not a story about robots. If you like Patlabor 2 you may also enjoy Patlabor 1 and Patlabor WXIII.
I stopped using mechanical trackballs due to roller wear. But the logitech trackman opticals are fantastic. Especially when you have to do field work, you can use them in mid-air. The added advantage is that nobody can figure out how to use my computer!

I see the cell phone companies neither providing exciting, deadly rides...
You haven't been the rider when the driver is on a cell phone have you?

The homebrew computer club was pretty close to the current Open Hardware movement.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Did the feds just announce that they can't track Linux distros?
Did torrents for Ubuntu just start spiking in Baghdad and Tora Bora?

Aww, I want an unrated version combining the best parts of 'Elle Dee in the Land of Woz' and Zardoz!!!

The Black Cloud was a 1957 science fiction novel by Sir Fred Hoyle that postulated sentient interstellar gas clouds.
Damn, imagine a beowulf cluster of those molecules!
