On the other hand, they don't have to be bright enough to illuminate a dark room. Just bright enough to be seen in indoor daylight.
To be bright enough to be seen in daylight, a single LED will end up being bright enough to illuminate a dark room. Perhaps the solution would be to place a light sensor somewhere alongside the LED and measure the ambient light levels to provide a high/low setting.
The movie industry were inspired by the Connection Machine series of supercomputers. Every processor in the computer had a LED that lit up when it was in use, and since there were thousands of processors, there were thousands and thousands of lights.
Very true, for every 0.5% increase in mortgage rates, the buy-to-let rents (student market) go up by around 50 pounds/month. And that simply gets passed onto student debt to be paid off some time in the distant future.
That seems to be the standard practise these days (mostly in England). Many employers just take on fresh graduates to "bring in new ideas", then dump them as soon as they have been "brainjuiced" after a year or so, and then take on a new set of graduates. The only way to survive this is to set up your own company, or work in a research lab.
" Although some judges and fellow Mathews teammates were concerned over the safety of the reactor, Kasper said that he and Neill took serious precautions during its construction. "It was all very well-controlled. We packed the materials..., built a shed, and assembled it there... We've stopped the reaction. We only detected about several thousand atoms of Uranium, so it's not like the source is radioactive by any means anymore."
This is quite true; there's a lot of adolescent drivel out there with my real name on it which I posted circa '93-95 (and some even later) that I didn't realise would be archived. Usenet then *was* seen to be ephemeral.
That brings back memories: The Green Golfball Joke, Kibology, The Death Dot, and much, much more.
At the end of the last term of the year, the head, assistant-head and another female had this skit in which they pretended to have a love-triangle tiff resulting in an argument, and the head pulling out a bottle of Vodka from the broom cupboard. The giveaway was that there was a video camera (large clunky 80's type) with the recording light on.
They were under considerable pressure - three teachers had left due to rising property prices, and each had to supervise two classes at the same time (hopping from one classrom to another), if they weren't being harassed by Dadzilla's wanting a guarantee that his son's/daughter's education wasn't going to be affected by this situation.
Apparently, Conestoga Valley School District were threatening to not recruit any more teachers from her university, unless she was punished in some way.
Regardless of the picture, the School District or college have no right to amend her graduation qualifications, based on a single party photograph.
'REQUIRE a picture on every single credit card (POS transactions), and be strict about the requirement on merchants to ship ONLY to addresses on file (online/telephone transactions).'
Or you're a student and want your credit card bills to go to your normal home address (parent's home, which may even be in a different/state/province/country) while you want stuff delivered to your term-time address (work or home).
I like the use of the hyphenated "demon-strated" in the article...
"During clinical evaluation of the limb at RIC, Jesse Sullivan, a patient of Dr. Kuiken, demon-strated substantial improvements in functional testing,".
It conjures up images of some kind of Doom-esque cyber-demon stomping around and firing off rocket grenades from his arm....
A lot of people hate on history classes and i don't understand why. It is very useful.
Because of the way it was taught. Our history lessons were taught simply by spending the entire single (45 minutes) or double session (90 minutes) copying down all the writing from the blackboard into our notebooks, and expected to memorise the entire text. Nothing more or less for the entire year. Primary schools did get video programs (mainly the Elizabethian/Victorian era). Modern History covered all the 20th century events like World War I, Cuban Crisis, and World War II
Undoubtably, when read at your own speed, History is far more interesting, especially with the visual information available using on web.
Interesting way of solving the problems. For me, the easiest way to solve each of the following was as follows:
Initial calculation - work out the lengths of each edge - the entire mesh forms a kite shaped prism.
(i) Calculate the numeric values of the vectors B->D, and A1->C, then calculate the dot product. That should equal zero.
(ii) Calculate the angle between A1-E and E-C1 - Another dot product/cosine law. The angle is 90 degrees
(iii) Determine the numeric value of A->D, translate to origin at B, then work the dot product with B->C, and do another dot product
This angle should be 30 degrees
I guess it's astronomical philosophy. Choose any two objects in the universe, and you should be able to find something inbetween. The more interesting objects occur at the critical point between two states (like the Schwarzschild radius for a black hole or the Chandrasekhar limit for supernovae). Objects just below these limits will often demonstrate numerous failed attempts to cross the threshold (A star might repeatedly attempt to go supernova by gaining mass from its companion, blow off some layers, only to fizzle out, then repeat the process months later). These observations give the chance to build more accurate models.
i don't know about the 'bloody' part, but article 1 section 4 of the bill of 'rights' of the texas constitution states that people may not hold office if they don't "acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being".
Now, this policy was set up to prevent credit card fraud. Fraudster would work in a petrol station in order to clone cards, which were then used abroad, which in some other cases, have been as far as Africa.
Slashdot Mirror
If it's so obvious, (pardon my french) how the fuck come it's patented? Non-obviety is a necessary (but not sufficient) requirement for patentability.
Because it was original at the time, and the author's may have been the only people in the world with a prototype system. A good explanation is at:
Debunking software patents

World War II security posters always reinforced that paranoia:

"Shoptalk may be sabotalk
"Beware... the walks have ears"

Some Shopping Malls will ban anyone who covers their
face.
This also applies to People wearing hats in public bars, even if they are pensioners.
It's also illegal to organise a protest in London without first gaining permission from the police first (The SOCPA Act).
Already one man has been arrested for dressing up as Charlie Chaplin and making a silent protest using signs such as "not aloud" and "right to remain silent". Another woman was arrested for baking a cake with a statement made using icing.
The incompetence of this legislation is being discussed by MP's

Centralized computers break down.
Does that mean if we place our server in the corner of the office, there's less chance of it breaking down?
By then, everyone will probably have forgotten about this project.

As long as you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His Noodly Appendages that shouldn't be a problem.
That shouldn't be a problem for someone with a slashdot name 'frymaster'.
Because people would consider it an invasion of privacy if they feel they have to notify their credit agency of their movements:
Don't bank on your card abroad

Try watching Long Way Round> sometime. You can see the state of the roads when they go through Siberia (the road just ends, much to their annoyance!).
Great, can you send some of it over here, we're running close to our deadlines...
