Neat way to do it, I've never been to an IMAX 3d show. Too bad we can't make TV's have polarized pictures. . . wasted all that great engineering on HDTV;)
I know some software consultants that have only a few years experience that are making over $125/hour that work over 40 hours/week for companies. The least that should be demanded is what normal software consultants make, push up to over $100/hour (the drive time thing's a good idea too;)
Ground loops are a pain. Thats why you need to have isolation transformers on the input of all devices.
Ever wonder why this type of situation doesn't happen in your home theater? Cause of isolation transformers.
As for the whole reason for this topic, I'd say stick with the individual AC-DC converters. They are quiet, small, put out very little heat, and work with your components. If you try to roll your own, you may learn some stuff, but you will most likely end up with a sub par item.
When I click on your link with firefox I am taken to the Microsoft home page. . . kind of weird, but I guess if you want to annoy the Help Desk, it is kind of like a fire lily.
The actual address really is a pic of a fire lily though.
If you are just starting out, just send your photos away to a large scale lab, they do a decent job and only charge about $3.29 (at clark color labs) a roll including shipping.
A decent roll of film (quality stuff like Kodak gold, not something like Supra or Portra) will run you $1.48 (from clark color labs, in quanitites over 4) each for 24 exposures.
So total is $4.77 per roll for film and processing with reasonable quality. A quality USED camera (no need to buy a new SLR to learn on) will run you about $250 or so.
Digi SLR = $1000
Used SLR + processing of 157 rolls of film = $998.89
And I'm sure if you were to roll your own film you could save even more money because of bulk purchases.
The prices I gave for comparison are for decent quality. If your income depends upon you shooting good photos, go to a quality film processor. However, as most of the article was concerned, and the previous post, you should already have a sweet SLR if your income depends upon shooting photos.
You bring up an interesting point. The main question is, I guess, what does the license say?
If the game's license (which I have never even seen, not even a click thru like on a computer) says that sale of said item must be accompanied by the media it was on, then it's illegal. Otherwise, as long as you still do not have the ability to use said games that you have sold, it should be perfectly legal.
Maybe its just me, but it seems like EA's simulation has many more tie games than would occur in the real world. There were very few if any teams that didn't have atleast one tie so far into the season.
If for the average of every 7 games a team has 2 ties, thats gonna be a lot of ties.
trifold, no cash at the moment, student id, 3 credit / debt cards, license, social security card (bad idea possibly), 6 or 7 business cards (not my own), receipts from the past month, 2 coffee cards (so I get free coffee), and some savings cards from local food stores.
I've just been looking at eight $20 bills I have, and the difference in lenght of the bills differs by even 1/4" between the smallest and largest bill.
I'm pretty sure they are all real, or atleast very good copies.
Did anyone notice:
"The current version of the game is demo only and the distributor hold no responsibility for the operational capabilities of this product."?
So regardless of if its not legal, they aren't trying to pass it off as being the ACTUAL game.
Its called a console;)
You should really check them out, full blown computers made just for playing games.
But seriously, because of the licencing on windows / directx and such, I think that unless many / all game developers decided to start using (what some may consider lower quality) open source / free drivers, that this isn't going to happen any time soon.
Also, gamespy type 3rd party software wouldn't work, and irc clients for finding games may not be included either...
I think a completely new OS, build from teh ground up for gaming would be needed to be developed, and be very very modular to support all the different hardware with quality graphics and sound. Think shared memory software rendering for every mobo sold in the last 4 years...
So if they outlaw P2P, why not just write a program that connects computers, not users to eachother. That way, the music you already have on your computer could be gotten by other computers, then everyone would have huge music collections, and it wouldn't be the user's fault;)
No user intervention. It could even be done via a virus. All the sudden you open an email in outlook, and your illegal mp3 collection doubles in size, then the virus emails itself to all your friends! What an ingenious idea!

$50 per hour?

Linux From Scratch lists depends on its site, as well as build instructions: Gnumeric-1.2.10
It seems to depend on a bit of Gnome-ish things. But having some Gnome stuff isn't a bad idea, and you don't _NEED_ all of Gnome for it to work.

Its a well written book that assumes the reader knows nothing of fortran. He teaches Fortran at RPI.
I'm sure that Lego gives this guy a good bit of free stuff, especailly if he lets them use his creations in PR stunts/presentations and whatnot.
That number is disconnected as well. just a heads up
No addressses, so it may take longer, but heres the list for everyone to start googling... ;)

Good idea though...
mod that funny!
I gots me a nice 6.871947e+11 bit harddrive now ;)
of course then theres the people who will argue if that last 7 is rounded off or not...
Scratch that, its just taking about 3 minutes to load the verisign page... guess the DOS attacks are just beginning ;)
It looks like they just DOSed themselves... I get the "domain not found" error now too, while 5 minutes ago I got the wonderful verisign page... odd
just mail their Contact Page email addresses, see what happens then ;)

No problem. ;)
Although not huge, they may fit expansion cards and the like. No pics on the site, but good starting point.
also: 3M(TM) 8523 single Card Carrier, 254mm x 203mm x 51mm is a little bigger.
