    Divide that by the standard US voltage of 240V AC, and you have a current draw of 5000 amps.
    The standard US voltage is 120V AC, that gives a 10,000 amp current.

    is the angle with the horizontal. With all this information it should be relatively easy to build a 2D/3D map from the pictures you collect.

    It's the internet's fault that I don't have any friends, not my complete lack of social skills!

  9. Re:May crop overweight people, may normalize width on Researchers Envision 3-D Hologram Phone · · Score: 1

    My guess would be that if a person was that tall or that overweight, they would not be able to fit inside of the "Phone Booth" in the first place. My understanding is that the "Phone Booth" would look like a larger version of the viewing cylinder, so the image in the viewing cylinder would be directly proportional to the size and shape of the person in the booth.

  10. Re:my 2cents on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1

    Even if it's not unlawful for a third party to install spyware on a personal computer, this bill will still protect home users to a certain degree. It would make it nearly impossible to install spyware only on a personal computer, but never onto a corporate workstation. Being that the two can be very difficult to distinguish, they would be forced to halt installation of all spyware (theoretically).

    Also, corporations are far more likely to have the resources to file a lawsuit against such a shady company; you think your grandmother would be able to carry out a lawsuit of this nature?

  11. Re:my 2cents on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1
    I'm wondering if it's because they didn't want to prevent the parents from installing spyware on their kids' computers.

    Makes it unlawful for any person who is not the owner or authorized user (user) of a protected computer (a computer exclusively for the use of a financial institution or the U.S. Government, or a computer used in interstate or foreign commerce or communication) to engage in deceptive acts...

    The parents would be considered the owners of the computer in question, so they are legally allowed to install whatever they please.

    True, but look at it this way: If you are running a lemonade stand, which is going to make you more upset; If nobody buys your product, or if people are coming to your stand and taking your lemonade, but not paying for it?

  16. Re:Why Harry? on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems to me that many Americans are bent on creating drones, and banning book that force pupils to think otherwise is a good way to do this. I read The Giver when I was in Middle School. It got me to look at our own society in a different way; a way that shows flaws in the system in which I was being taught. This led me to start questioning authority, which many teacher/parents do not like. I beleive we should teach our children that it is good to question authority, but to also teach them how to determine when is a good time to ask question, and when they problably shouldn't.

  20. Re:Toshiba Satellite on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    I own a Toshiba Satellite Pro, and I get 4-6 hours on low backlight. I also get atleast 3 hours while running a DVD or a video file. I would say your best bet would be to look at laptops that are running the Intel Pentium-M, because these are designed for long battery life (and they run great). With the Pentium-M comes the Centrino chip, which if you don't know supports Bluetooth/WiFi/Infrared all in the same chip, so no need for any add-in cards.

  21. your calculations are a little screwy on Can Your Car Get 1,700 MPG? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your saying that your car can drive 4305564.16 Square Feet for every 52.5 gallons? First of all how do you calculate how many square feet a car drives? You would have to take the width of the car and multiply it by the length the car has driven. I will assume for the sake of easy math that your car is 10 feet wide; If you divide 10 4305564.16 by 10 you get 430556.416 feet, which converts to about 81.5 miles. That means that your car gets 1.55 miles to the gallon, which is pretty bad unless of coarse you are driving a canyonaro. :P

    So if I am understanding you correctly, the 62 call max of the COLTs is not that abnormal of cell towers. If this is true, why not just deploy more COLTs at the scene of a disaster?

  25. Re:Pretty much on Are IT Certifications Meaningless? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That may be true, but if you didn't have those certs you would not have gotten a job in the first place. Employers look at certifications of applicants because most of the time they have nothing else to gage an applicants qualification and knowledge. I personally think that more employers should give a short test as part of the interview, this way they can be fairly confident that the person they are hiring actually knows how to do the job.
