That's a loooooong way from 70 fps. Sounds like some person in the marketing department had a little too much faith in their product.
Yeah, the display consumes less energy, but you need an airco to operate it outdoors. Wonder how much power that airco needs....sounds like the net result may be 0.
From the f. article
"...an innovation by a New York-based display technology company whose name, Magink, is a combination of the words magic and ink..."
Pfew. Glad they explained that, I'd
never-ever would have guessed that.
I'm using OsX _right_now_, and I still do that.
In fact, I started doing it in WinNT at work as well.
Slows down the login process tremendously as your 'roaming profile' is transported between buildings (I'm a flexworker, all I need is a desk and a PC...) So I may stop doing it....in NT:)
At work I'm forced to use Lotus Notes 4.5.5 (yup, the 1995 version).
I do not like its interface, its menu structure and generally the way it works. (see the interface hall of shame for details on that)
However, it has some excellent search features built in (fast & reliable) and my only favorite option: the "All documents" folder, where all records are piled onto one big pile for me to search in. Really handy. So I can make folders and organise, but if I want I can just pretend there's only this one big folder.
Uh...The foam is included in the price, so to speak.
There's three or four standard sizes of glass here:
- Fluitje ('whistle') : very thin glass, good for pilsener and those who enjoy their beer cold & fresh
- Kleintje pils ('small pils') : similar, but more bell-shaped (and i personally do not like it at all)
- Normal : Sort of upside down-Bell shaped
- Vaasje ('Little Vase') or Amsterdammertje ('Little dude from Amterdam') Slightly bigger, sort of rectangular but a bit wider at the top than at the bottom, holds about 0,25 - 0,3 cl, my personal favorite...for pilsener that is
Bigger still, and considered 'strictly for tourists':
- German style mugs (with an ear, and up to 1 Liter, for crying out loud)
- Pints : for island-dwellers lost on the continent:)
Anyway, to work around all that you could consider ordering bottles (Corona, Budweiser, Heineken and other industrial beers) if you do not mind paying through the nose just because some guys at the marketing department discovered it's really cool to drink from a bottle.....
Me, I'm just crazy about Westmalle Tripel
Ah.... I think bars in Amsterdam...

serve Heineken, Grolsch, Amstel, Ridder, Dommelsch and even Oranjeboom (yuck) at rates well above this.
This is mainly possible due to the fact that dutch persons, such as myself, are fond of a good thick firm layer of foam on top of our beers. About 2 - 2,5 fingers thick. So we don't mind a bit of foam, whereas the british are notorious (well, over here at least) for complaining about 'too much foam' (they'll even send the beer back sometimes, I've seen em do it: perfectly tapped pilsjes, making true professional bartenders shake their heads in disbelief.)
No no no....you can't compare it to that.
Its Nuclear DNA vs Mitochondrial.
The nuclear DNA builds the hardware, in this case.
So to stay in your metaphore, this would be like getting a PC video card working in an iMac. No more, no less. Would you agree that that would still be an iMac?

Dude, you got it all right all the way. I'm with you.
Man, just the other day I ripped some old vinyl and burnt it to CD. I could not believe how good it sounded (without _any_ treatment but ' normalize' ) on my Stereo once I burnt it. Folks in record companies are doing some horrible stuff to ' classics' just because they want to 'modernize', 'emphasize'. ' expand' etc. Damn those people, they do _not_ love music.
The hardest thing _ever_ is to record the sound of a guitar player on his(/her) own amp. Achieve that and you are a hero. Electric bassguitar usually somehow sustains recording via direct line inputs (why? I would not know), but drums are a big old pain in the ass to record. Only did it once or twice, but that was enough:)
You're right.
See here though. Seems you have to smoke non-stop for it to work. Side effects may be worse than the glaucoma, if you know what I mean....
very very similar in a _really_ old Wired article (paper, not web, can you dig it?) At least 4 years ago, I think it was an article about Boeing or some other large airplane manufacturer. Workers had goggles aiding them with the complex task of wiring the airplanes (guess they could see if they had to cut the red or the blue wire)
Now if only I could find it back....
Ahm...
Could not reproduce this in OsX & IE 5.2 for Mac.
So I fired up Virtual PC & win98 : the crash happens there also.
So this is not limited to XP.
There's a frequent poster here (forgot who) that has superbad as his website URL.
I kinda like it. Infinite clicks. Good with a beer om a late lonesome friday night.
Only if his germline cells are altered in such a way that the artifical mutation (inserted/deleted/altered DNA) is passed on to his offspring. Most current gene-therapy scenario's don't do that (as far as I know, it's been a while since I last genetically modified an organism)
Ah, good old methanol. My friend from the lab that helped me wash those gels full of coomassie brilliant blue and get rid of the excess color. Must have inhaled grams of the stuff in the two years I worked with it.
Still I don't recommend drinking it folks. All those blind russians got where they are from drinking badly distilled home-made liquor. That's why they put methanol in ethanol: the boiling points are so close enough (ethanol:78.3 C, methanol 65 C) to make homegrown separation by distillation difficult.
the "Spartamet" is very popular amongst older people. It is regarded as extremely uncool to ride one, as only elderly women are seen using them. They are very helpful for them riding against the strong winds that blow in the flat lowlands.
check out some info about them from here where some guy gives instructions on how to modify them to get more speed & power (which is always cool)
Check out Cesar Manrique's house on Lanzarote.
He built it in some old volcanic bubbles (when lava flows it can sometimes leave behind a hollow tube)
Very cool.
But I think this development is maybe meant for those situations where a bus ticket just is not available for some reason. Like a space-station / mars-base type of setting
(I still think it would be a better idea to just bring someone with the necessary skills)
Maybe I'm missing your point, but why play clones when you can playy the real thing?
Just download Mame & get some roms. Hours of fun.
I actually get flashbacks from childhood when playing mame. The video machines were always in snackbars and/or swimming pools, and sure enough, as soon as i fire up galaxian or q*bert i smell french fries or chlorine again, depending on the game.....:)
My feeling is that they are more likely to be caused by the fact that my job is boring, the workload is too high and most of my colleagues are dildo's.
I think many jobs that require a person to sit in front of a monitor for more than 6-7 hours a day are probably monotonous and unsatisfying.
So this accounts for the described symptoms better than any wierd electromagnetic radiation effects the post suggests (and would also mean that getting that ultra-sexy cinema display would _not_ help a bit)
Of course this does not apply to people that do some actual creative work that they like to do (programmers, video artists, whatever)
Well. Perhaps I should become a farmer or something.
Dang, I thought _I_ was a paranoid person....
Now I have to look out for airport wifi spoofers too. Dang.
Then again...if you use properly encrypted communications that would not be a huge problem would it? As far as I understand network sniffing is easy enough on good-old wires too.
With the current prevalence of GSM phones & the info gotten from your use of Airmiles cards (I hear you can use those in 'anonymous' mode, but then again: who cares?)
" They " allready know _everything_ about you. Which really don't care too much about, cos I got nothing to hide.
Be smart, ride a bike.
