Stimulating specific optic nerves is tricky, but fortunately your brain is good at dealing with odd input even if you don't get the connection quite right.
That seems like the question. If we are up to the 16th trial, why still something like a 16x16 grid instead of 1024x768 or whatever?
I would argue that if NPR can deliver no more than vague, "backhanded" commentary after a Bush speech (out of fear of criticism by conservatives), then they are effectively closer to a conservative than a liberal bias.
Got that right. The morning MPR hosted a military professor on the topic of "Socrates, the Soldiering Years" while Bush was on the drumbeat toward Iraq was the moment I knew it'd be a cold day in hell when they saw my money. Public radio is propaganda too. Apparently, sometimes even more ludicrous propaganda in its amusing attempts at subtlety than commercial channels.
Great. We're already paying cops to sit on their ass in a cube all day pretending to be 13-year-old girls. Now we're going to pay for them to brag about their dynamite movie/music/program libraries? Sounds like a painfully banal job all day every day.
I've had a PC HDTV3000 card sitting on the shelf that I got in late 2004 during the broadcast flag scare. Recently, I got an "all-shovelware, every-piece-on-rebate" Sempron 3300+, 1/2 gig of RAM and mobo that should be just fine for a PVR because it would have been a fairly kick-ass system in 2004. And it looks like it would be adequate for Vista with a decent graphics card should the desire to install it appear.
All this really demonstrates is that the rate of desktop hardware innovation hasn't slackened.
I'm satisfied that distance is the overriding factor.
It isn't like Mars isn't really, really cold at night too, has dust problems, radiation and an atmosphere that "isn't" for all practical purposes.
Mars would certainly be more interesting and would probably have immense psychological benefits with sky, clouds, sunsets, wind and water or CO2 ice but the moon is a practical baby step. And martians should feel a lot more secure in their isolation knowing they are working with moon-tested technology.
EETimes is reporting that some Microsoft employees are calling for the termination of several top managers Including Brian Valentine, Jim Allchin, and Steve Ballmer for the delay debacle.
On the other hand:
Robert Scoble, a company technical evangelist, on his Scobelizer blog. "But I'd rather have a slipped date than a cruddy product."
So, basically, it is a conflict between the traditionalists and the reformationalists?
I like transparency. I have my linux panel set for transparent and set a small degree of transparency in my menu and terminal background. I think the glass effect looks nice and doesn't deter usability.
But it seems like people associate this with the hardware demands of Vista. Are these effects really so hard to create? Capturing an underlying window instead of just a piece of background is cool and I imagine takes some resources. But it isn't like a _real_ game engine, is it? Even if you want some lighting effects, I assume the point source is fixed. And all the 3D panels in the screenshot are at the same angle. The effects are nice. Are they really annoyingly resource intensive?
'a technology platform that is security-enhanced, highly scalable and easy to manage.'
And the war will last 6 weeks, cost 2 billion dollars and enhance our position in the world.
With the Romans it was lead in the water. Us?
Rather than a brief statement sounding all the world like FUD from a Microsoft brochure, it really would be fascinating to read a detailed technical/MIS article of all the terible experiences they had with linux that justify their decision.
do I make a USA immigration application or start learning chinese?
Not the U.S. You sure Blair didn't get the idea from watching how well our rubber-stamp Congress is working here?
I'll meet you half way in Quebec. I figure they should be feisty enough to fight back against an Anglo conservative federal Canada. I understand the U.N. likes the quality of life in Norway.
You see the tens of thousands rioting at the Sorbonne and all over France and it makes you wonder exactly how the Anglo world became a sheep herd.
It's going to be a hard sell to explain that Windows XP is no longer good enough and that corporations need to not only upgrade their OS, but also need to upgrade their *HARDWARE* to take advantage of Windows Vista.
Of course, if you only release an OS version every five or six years.......
Sony recently gave up the building to a local mall developer. Thank god, it needed it.[link] [sfgate.com]
Whatever. Another pit stop along the conventioneer's trail. The Discovery Store in one mall is about as unique as the Discovery Store in another mall. But, hey, from what I understand the Hollywood walk isn't exactly the garden of eden, right?
_Everything_ about this issue is so absurd. I don't even understand the "unconstitutionally restrictive" argument. "Old war injury bro! Finger can't bend down to the 'X'!" ????????????????
How safe are LCD and DLP TVs from this type of thing?"
I suspect about as safe as any good design that is built with crap parts. Same as many of us who got Mexican Palm Pilots that bled the batteries in three or four days? Maybe capacitors are difficult to successfully cheapify?
I suspect a lot of people saw Tron as kids. I saw it as an adult and didn't like it. From what I remember it was for much the same reasons Bladerunner works and Johnny mnemonic doesn't. Hence, Disney?
You still believe all that pap about "there's no difference between Bush and Gore"?
You're right. One Democrat voted against the Patriot Act. Of course, the Democrats' excuse was that they didn't read it first and, gosh, who can fault them for that? Three years later, FOUR Democrats voted against the Patriot Act renewal. Vive le difference! Vive la revolution!
Yup, yup, yup. Savage little wild cats like that, the Democrats are real Tom Paines and will bring the Bush regime to their knees and restore our democratic republic to its constitutional foundation toot sweet. You just watch those babies work when the Diebold machines give them their chance.
I hate how, when an article comes up about a sensitive issue, 3/4 of the summary text is dedicated to doubletalk.
A reporter on the job filling column inches. Basically, the researcher has a speculation. Interesting speculation. Might even turn out to be right. How much of an influence on culture? Who can say now. 'nuf said.

Why bother trying to steal ID anywhere else when Broward County has offered itself up as a sacrifice for the surfing?

The AMD list includes Sempron.

How often do you visit other countries' web sites?
Daily:
BFM-TV French TV news stream.
Buzzflash regularly links to the Independent and Guardian, not to mention other papers from around the world.
I don't know where digitallyimported gets its Eurotrance stream but I'm guessing not Tulsa.
BBC and other services dropped shortwave to the First World with the understanding that internet stream would replace it.
Regional internet would be a vast retreat.
What respectable holographic storage is measured in square inches?

Biometrics used to mean a robber would want my finger for the ATM. Now they want my head?
And not so fun there either. You need the bandwidth to download the two copies instead of just make a copy of your one download.

First you wedge in the "critical for life" exceptions and before you know it people will argue that voting machines should be open source.

Working the customer service line to get porn reconnected should probably come with a good wage per hour.
