If you're editing a mesh you can hit U and revert any changes back to the original when you entered edit mode, but once you leave edit mode, your changes are permanent. The only option at that point is to find your last temp file. (saved every 4 minutes)
The thing is, I've been using blender for 2 years now and I don't really miss an undo/redo. You learn to model without that need. It's really a non-issue.
I read this too, and while it seem the most incredible, it's the one I think might actually be true.
All the factors were there... Tesla was being forced to prove that his product worked, he was faced with a potential lack of funding, and he was basically driven a bit insane by these. And in a last ditch effort, he wanted to prove once and for all that his power generator worked.
If he did manage this, it would certainly explain the super-bright reflection in the atmosphere that thousands of people reported seeing from the event.
But then again, maybe I'm just *wanting* that to be true.
Pure greed? In the government? Now I've heard everything.:)

You're right, to a certain extent. But you're completely bypassing the outcome of each scenario.
Outcome 1... you go out drinking, decide for yourself that you're ok to drive, and you end up killing a family in the process. Then, if you lived through the wreck, you're in prison for manslaughter.
Ya, responsible adult. Responsible enough to kill someone. Nice.
Outcome 2... you go out drinking, decide for yourself that you're ok to drive, and you get pulled over because of the gadget in your car. Well, guess what? You were doing something illegal anyway, you deserve the consequences.
Outcome 3... you go out with friends, but you're the designated driver. Their breath causes you to get pulled over. "Ok sir, that's a fine thing you're doing. Get you friends home, and have a safe night." Not too bad, if you ask me.
You can whine about your freedoms all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that this thing could save lives. It doesn't mean that people can read your mind, it doesn't mean that we'll have cameras watching our every move, it's simply a protection.

Does the constitution give you the right to put people in danger by driving while intoxicated?
The thing is, this is a good idea. People go nuts when something happens that will let the authorities know when they're doing something against the law! I personally think this is something that could save some lives. And if it causes you to be pulled over when you are innocent, (liquor spilled on your clothing, friends who are drunk) then you have nothing to worry about, right?
Honestly, I don't get why some people insist on certain "freedoms" when by bending those rules you could save many, many lives.
But then, some people don't care about other's lives. Very sad...
Looks like somebody didn't read the linked articles.
The thing was, they messed up in their fine print and never required you to sign up for service. A bunch of people ordered one for the cool device (incl. me) and before ever shipping the product changed their licensing terms to make it a requirement to use the service. At that point, either you pay or you don't get the device. As the article mentions though, they actually charged people for the service, even when it wasn't used.
When my son was born he was strong enough to roll himself over, which isn't typical. When I talked, he rolled and looked at me. A baby, less than 10 minutes after being born, could recognize my voice. Not to mention those that have noticed a baby reacting to a voice while still in the womb. Very cool. He's ten months old now, and it's quite amazing how smart he grows daily.
What I've always wondered is exactly how we could recognize intelligence in a machine. I already knew that my child had the ability to be intelligent because he is human... but will it take a truly amazing act before we acknowledge intelligence in something that "shouldn't" have it?

I realize this is offtopic, but I agree!
Stargate SG-1 rocks. I didn't watch it for the first time until about a year ago, mainly because of Richard Dean Anderson... but I sat through an episode, and I'm hooked now. I'm now catching up on reruns, and I find that the last season will start soon. Aak! Why didn't I find out about it sooner!?
As for the ontopic discussion... Andromeda didn't do this for me at all. I'm annoyed most of the time by the actors. Maybe it isn't them, maybe it's the writers... but they annoy me. 300 years after the commonwealth collapsed, Harper can still find t-shirts and hawaiian shirts to wear. ugh. And don't get me started on Worf-alike.:)
that the box should have specifically stated what hardware could have problems. So yes, you should be mad. But the "review" is simply a rant, nothing more.
I happen to have a box that isn't anything special. K62-500, TNT2-32M, 160M RAM. Guess what? Myst III runs perfectly on it. I installed the game directly to hard disk (a mere 2120 Megs:) and it plays flawlessly. The only problems I've had are related to DirectX, and they happen in every other accelerated game that I have.
This is just my personal experience, but I think that's good enough. I did nothing to prepare my system for the game, and I've done nothing to make it playable.
Maybe someone who's actually played the game should review it next time?
See... you're right, but it isn't so far-reaching.
To use your car example... give a car to a 15 year-old and tell them to drive. 100 to 1, they'll make plenty of mistakes. That's why we have Driver's Ed.
So the basic idea is that everyone *has* to learn at some point. Those people that don't understand how to set their VCR clock would never get past, "A computer is just too complicated." So those that *do* try... whether it be at work or at home, will eventually learn whether they want to or not.
Granted, setting up 3D is harder. Setting up sound is harder too, though it's getting much easier than before. But those that don't try at least a *little* probably aren't the ones we need to worry about anyway.
Anybody familiar with Goldmine contact management software?
We had it running on NT for about a year and a half. It served a consistent 70-73 records/sec. The server needed to reboot at least 3-4 times per week. The Goldmine clients recieved "blob" errors (dbf) at least once, usually twice, a day.
Since the software is just served up to the Windows clients and run there, I decided to move it to a Samba server. I installed 2.0.7, made it the PDC, and also enabled wins resolution. Hey, cool, three birds with one stone...
That server has been up for 38 days, 16 hours with *no* problems *at all*. Add to that, I get at least 170 records/sec, up to 400/sec at times. That translates to everyone being happy.
If anyone would care to take a look at the last few paragraphs of the WSJ article, they'd see that this only applies to the MS software. Any other software, while still needing to be optimized for Windows XP, still has the ability to record at whatever bitrate it wants to.
They are simply trying to make WMA the standard by bundling in recording software that won't record MP3's over a 56K sampling rate.
Red Hat is on the cusp of profitability, but at 90 times estimated 2002 earnings -- or nearly 2 times the company's long-term projected growth rate -- it is still too high a price to pay for the Linux software maker.
Ya, I'm sure Andover is worried that their stock will hit 2 times long-term projected growth./sarcasm
The reason it wasn't posted appears to be that it wasn't an interesting story in the first place.
If you're working on a project and you get stuck, will you release a product with chunks missing because you hit a wall or will you reference another project for ideas/code to get around your obstacle?
This is precisely why I think some college professors are useless. They aren't training you for real life. We don't go through our lives without learning from someone. They can teach basicsand theory, but basics only take you so far. You have to learn with help from peers before your work can truly be useful.
I know they're trying to encourage creativity here, but pure creativity doesn't work all the time.
One thing to remember is that electrical components vary, and you could've just gotten a voltage regulator that triggers a little higher than normal. Also, the circuits have been refined over the last few years... you would probably have better luck now.
I've personally never built a robot from a kit at solarbotics, but I have built quite a few BEAM robots from scratch. Normally, you need to have enough electronics background to troubleshoot a circuit, and maybe enough to work around a particular component.
You could try the BEAM list for starters... any of us would be glad to help.

As any real blender user will tell you, once you learn the interface it's one of the fastest modelers out there.
