If you use a high-res 16bpp b/w digital camera, you can produce "true" HDR images by using the same technique as an early Russian photographer - simply rotate between red, green and blue filters. You now have a 48bpp colour image.
There are two problems with this:
1. 16bpp is still not enough to represent a true high dynamic range, and
2. the change in colour filters requires time, bringing home the root of all modern HDR capture problems: scenes almost never remain static!
Now I know this is a little nit-picky, but it's certainly worth the mention. Modern consumer hardware just doesn't cut-it when acquiring HDR images. You need plenty of time to capture all your exposures and, in your case, colour planes, and this time is often too long for normal scene capture.
That being said, using 16bpp sensors that truly DO capture 16bpp of correct light information would be a step up on current methods for generating HDR images using consumer digital cameras.
It is a selection process that achieves optimisation. What ever the application, if the fitter beings survive then the population is becoming more optimised to it's environment. Evolution inherently DOES optimise.
I don't think a laptop is meant to interface directly to a remote access point in 802.16. From what I've gathered about reading this prior to this article, WiMAX was meant to be a point to point mesh of access points that connects LANs. In this case, your laptop would connect to the LAN and the LAN would broadcast via a local access point to one or more remote access points (the Metro Area Network).
FYI, 802.16a is supposed to be capable of transfer up to 30 miles, which would definately make direct interfacing to mobile devices very battery intensive.
Ico is pure art in a game. I'd almost consider it an interactive graphics demo. The lighting, textures, and animation are the most realistic I've seen in a game for the PS2. When I first played it I couldn't get over the extent of the detail that the Ico crew put into the game. Don't knock it till you try it. And just because YOU haven't heard of it, doesn't mean nobody else has. I recommend you play the game.
If you look at that, you may think, 'Boy, these Japanese are very strange.' It is not the case.
They're not? I suppose 'strange' is too closed minded, but 'different' certainly suffices!
I'm so used to the culture around me(Aussie) that when I look at the Japanese I can't help but be in awe. They're absolutely brilliant people but have the kookiest of cultures. Manga, Anime... need I say more! It's VERY addictive stuff.
Let's not discriminate against all other parallax type games. A great example of an "up" scroller is Galaga, which will always have a humble home in my heart. Those were the days...
But if you're really picky about mentioning side scrollers, then I'd have to admit I quite enjoyed Donkey Kong Country.
Don't you know that EVERYONE'S favourite dist is Debain?? Or at least SHOULD be Debian. Throw caution to the wind. Grow some new chest hairs and install Debian, the only GREAT distribution!
This is, of course, my unbiased opinion... can't you tell?
except the way that the media is encoded or controlled. There's still way too much money in it for the 'superstars' to stop them producing the same old shyte we hear every day.

You're thinking of "I.C. Weener".
"I.P. Freely" is from the Simpsons ol' chap.

the next step is a DIY kit that you could do from home! That would be some funky shyte.
