The data protection act - so you can request information on yourself
And the Conservative party are hoping to get this act repealed:
Tories reopen EU divisions with attack on red tape The report will also propose repeal of data protection laws and many rules affecting the financial services industry, including ending the regulation of mortgage lending. It would be easier for companies to make staff redundant, care home restrictions would be relaxed to create more places, and health and safety regimes reviewed or scrapped, including rules on incineration and protective equipment.
Have you tried using 'lynx'? - it is a text based web-browser (though it doesn't support frames). I sometimes use it to get files down quickly without the hassle of intro flash players, frames and all the other goop that gets in the way of actual information
Its all to scare the passengers, or perhaps to make them FEEL like someone is doing something.

Then I ask them about Jeam Charles De Menezes, and then what they think would happen if a suicide bomber were to run past a queue of passengers. What would happen to the bullets that miss the guy?
If you do a Google search for "terrain rendering" or "multiresolution rendering", you will find some research papers which describe dedicated hardware systems which defined the database as a combination of heightfield data (from radar) with photographic data (from satellites). The database would consist of an entire region sampled at 1 metre resolution (millions of polygons). It would be impossible to store the entire database in memory at the same time. To make the entire system run at the desired frame rate, both the heightfield and image data were converted into a quadtree representation. In that way only those blocks currently visible by the observer were stored in memory. A cache of blocks surrounding the observer was maintained to avoid thrashing when the viewpoint crossed a block boundary. The hierarchical representation meant that view frustum culling could be efficiently applied to the entire database. Low level detail is used for distant objects, high level detail for the nearest objects.
I'd give you +1 insightful moderation points if I had any.
The best teachers we had were those that had the entire syllabus on glossy workcards (glossy to stop them getting all torn and smudged). In that way every student could more or less work at their own speed. If anyone missed or fell behind a lesson for any reason, they could quickly catch up by working at home. The worst teachers were the ones that made everyone work in lock-step from the blackboard - mainly wordy subjects like history.
The best books were the Lett's study guides for A-levels. They had the entire syllabus for every exam board listed on the front pages, along with each module in a separate chapter. Combined with past exam paper questions, anyone who wished to learn a subject could simply work from home in this way.
Wouldn't throwing the cricket ball away in the opposite direction to where he wanted to go, have the same effect? Surely some energy would be lot when the ball rebounded?
Have you ever seen a more naive assumption? Tim must have been about the dumbest person ever to be able to program a computer.
Back in that time, the only people using LAN technology were corporate, academic and military networks, since a network card cost something around one grand. The rest of the world had to make do with telnet sessions over dial-up modems or ISDN (paying per kilobyte).
In order for Windows NT to compete against UNIX, Microsoft took the TCP/IP protocol stack and bundled it with Windows NT and Windows 95 (as many developers had to write their own interfaces for their applications - both commercial applications and games). The introduction of other protocols such as SLIP and PPP allowed TCP/IP to run over modem lines, enabling ISP's including AOL to provided end user access.
Don't blame Tim, blame (or thank?) Microsoft. Microsoft could well have tried to invent their own proprietary protocol stack rather than choose to use TCP/IP or any of the other industry equivalents as seen on the Network Protocols Poster)
You might also want to look for articles on L-systems - they model the animation of the growth of plants. Another keyword is "phyllotaxis" - the study of the pattern formation of leaves on plants.
Hmmm, let's see... on the one hand I can start paying for updates after 12 months.... on the other hand I get free updates for 18 months (or 36 months for LTS releases).
Business people like accountability, and the ability to see that a problem is under control. Being able to tell them that you have arranged for a field engineer scheduled to visit, or that the support team is working on the problem, is more reassuring to them than saying that that you have sent out an E-mail to a discussion group to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. To them, either you are the person to fix the problem or you can't.
There are rent-controlled apartments, but you can't get one . As you might imagine, they are quite popular, and their number has declined significantly.
That was because the landlords couldn't afford to maintain the properties, so handed them over to the city to run, who in turn, auctioned or sold the lot off to property developers.
The actual signatures can be retrieved from signal processing methods. I wouldn't have believed that each camera has its own unique signature (although I have noticed that one or two pixels will be fixed to a particular colour), and that this can be recovered even after JPEG compression.
Earlier Nikon Cameras supported uncompressed TIFF (Coolpix 850), then Nikon realised that this was a "value-added" feature, and only provided JPEG export.
That's why it's a pity that SGI (much as I dislike Irix)
That's why they got thumped. Every UNIX vendor had a slightly different flavour of UNIX. It meant that developers had to maintain separate builds of their application for each platform. The platforms which were the hardest/most expensive to develop for, were the ones that fell off the bottom of the annual budget.
I didn't mean that as a troll - these are really very good vehicles, good mileage, fast acceleration, easy to fit into parking space. The problem is that they don't require a driving license to operate, even though they are on the road. Consequently, some drivers haven't entirely learnt their highway code, so tend to cut in front of other larger, slower to accelerate cars.
There was also the Sinclair C5 which was completely battery operated.
There are also "Smart Cars" in Europe. They were originally intended for seniors who weren't licensed to drive more powerful cars and just wanted to make travel across town rather than across the country roads. Now many other people wanted to use them for traveling between villages because of their high mileage/gallon rate, so they're a bit of a hazard as they tend to appear out of nowhere from behind other vehicles.
The free movement of labour has destroyed the concept of the Government using education to boost the economy directly.
If UK companies had offered the career paths and salaries that US companies offered in the Bay Area and in other places, there would be no need for UK graduates to move to the US. And in many cases, many UK company directors would only consider graduates from their old university, ignore everyone else, then complain that they weren't getting enough applications from "bright graduates".
The situation hasn't been helped by the housing shortage, high house prices, the zoning of new housing in flood planes, garden grabbing, privatisation of train services, rising private school tuition fees, increasing crime in city centres, and the deliberate smashing up of final salary pension schemes by our now new prime minister (because they took a too cautious approach to company growth). Not forgetting that there are now 29 graduates competing for every vacancy.

The trendy way used to say "I go to uni", and in some places they would call the local university "the varsity".
Nothing for you to see here - please move along!

Then there was buying Cray, and selling the SMP Sparc based system to Sun,
I thought SGI were forced to split Cray up in order to conform to anti-monopoly legislation.
Though, I still find it hard to believe that SGI's original corporate headquarters (Building 20) became a
computer history museum.
When Sun said they were going to make SGI history, they weren't kidding.
