actually, it *could* work in 3-D...
follow me on this one... assuming it reproduces the light intensity it received on one side *exactly*!!
if one were to built a perfectly spherical such object, there would indeed be no trace of you... all incident rays would be propagated through the center of the sphere to the other side. come to think of it, i don't think you'd even have a shadow, which could have given you away... a shadow is whe something "blocks" the sun's rays... thing is, the rays are blocked, but then re-created at the exact opposite of the sphere...
a wall won't be useful, but walking aroung in a bubble-boy-like sphere could work, imho
and these people wonder why half the world hates them...
and for the record, americans didn't do jack shit in europe, in EITHER war. they just pulled the regular "cavalry entrance" once the war was over.
actually, this is not the best solution...
we had one up at ottawaU connecting the student newspaper to the (little) bandwith the we (P.Engs) passed on to the lawyers(Dumb Asses)...
the probelm is not fog, but rain. sounds dumb, but the droplets *do* intercept (and deflect) the beam...
another inconvenient is the size of the damn thing. it would have to be outside, because windows would need to be closed once in a while (these things have to be as direct as direct can be!) and it's pretty big. thus an eyesore.
however, i've never seen the laser beam myself, though not even in early morning fog (although canadian fog doesn't compare to british fog, i'm sure)
of COURSE people were messing around with each other. It's half the fun of the con. Kind of an e-king of the mountain: just like kids don't usually end-up bleeding at the bottom of the mountain (hehe), no _real_ harm is done.
ever been to a LAN party?
probably wasn't smart leaving my SS#, credit card # w/ expiration, etc. saved under/home/lburdet/personal_info.txt tho...;-)
techically, i would have to disagree... i am no latin scholar, but, as far as i recall: 'pent' means five, as in pentagon (five corners/sides?) and -ium is a common noun-forming suffix. so we've basically been calling the 586&up 'the five', 'the five 2', 'the five 3', etc.
since very often when going from latin to english, -(t)ium and -(t)ia are dropped, and replaced by -ce (spatium, palatium, elegentia, etc.)... i say the new processor should be called PENCE. the fact that it sounds like a dirty word when repeated many times fast makes it an even better choice of a name for such a viril processor;-)...
phone bills? huh?
are you telling me you're gonna use XP on a dial-up connection? MS won't let you, they can't spy on you if you disconnect all the time!:)
you deserve to be shot.
i think we're supposed to make fun of him...
it was only a FP to him, b/c he's probably using his mom's 56K.
to the rest of us, there's already 30 comments:)
~amen to that!
I dunno about how it is in the great Silicon Valley, but here in Silicon Valley North [ottawa], no one's hiring.
Worse thing is, a lot of are willing to re-locate, we just dont wanna end up eating chips in front of our TVs when we graduate. Or worse, become web-designers;)
i will post a mirror of the mpeg file, as soon as it finishes... assuming it finishes.
please, just wait for it to finish, and it'll be on http://www25.brinkster.com/hexanova
have pity on the poor guy...:)
it's all question of compromise...
you will pretty much _have_ to ignore ore try to acheive some other way one of the features you wanted...
just try to find the one that gets ur project done fastest;)
FP
what i don't get is that's it's the same people who will actually be _implementing_ these nifty little encryption gizmos, as the ones _breaking_ them in their past-time!! ??

if these statistics/numbers are correct, you'd think such an increase in DVD sales would shut the MPAA up, no?

The Hercules Monochromes are far from complaining of a whopping 2MB (?) video card they've got...
it may have arguably been a bad card, but it's lasted forever, and that's a good thing(tm)
