Galileo's most significant contributions to science revolved around the invention of the telescope
Sorry to be pedantic but Galileo did not invent the telescope. The telescope probably came from the middle east somewhere. It was a new invention at the time, he just did the novel thing with it of looking up
I only found it in this document http://www.ippu.purdue.edu/failed_states /2001/pape rs/Stohl.pdf
A chairman of the joint chiefs said: "In every corner of the world our troops are at work. These warriors of freedom, these men and women who love peace, who are prepared to die for its preservation, are doing their important part to help fulfill the concepts of the United Nations Charter."
well most cameras AFAIK use a free movie format, they mostly record in Motion JPEG(MJPEG)(well my 2 do) inside a quicktime container. MJPEG is a well known standard (I have a textbook in front of me that outlines it, and the quicktime container is well known as well (AFAIK i haven't actually looked for the specs).
On an other note does anyone know if it would be possible to put MJPEG streams into an ogg container
So this extends the american copyright to essentially forever. But what effect will this have on international copyright?
Will the copyrights still expire in other countries? If it doesn't wont this just have the effect of reducing the number of older/classic works being published in america?
My guess would be 2. Flys do not have hundreds of eyes, they have hundreds of small directional tubes, with each one leading to something similar to a rod in our eyes. The tubes only accept light in one direction therefor the combination of many of these tube/rod devices acts something similar to the lense in our eyes.
I dont mean to troll (well maby a little) but here in australia our footballers dont ware all that padding. They can where this little padded leather headgear but thats optional and most dont.
For CDMA I can tell you that australia uses it, and also Korea, one of the countries with the most amount of phones uses it. And you should see some of those slick korean mobile phones
I saw this on the news tonight, The jet its self didn't crash, what hapened was the rocket that was to launch the jet to its proper altitude became unatatched from the jet at takeoff making the rocket unbalanced and crash into the ground.
Acording to the box that my mouse came in, Genius has the patent on the Scroll mouse. But I dont have the box anymore so it is possible that they are one and the same.
Just a question, I thought they explained the way that Dr Who, changed actors by something to do with when he "dies", he comes back to life in a new body, but he can only "die" a certan amount of times before he actually dies.
So any one have any ideas on how many more of these lives he actually has?
on a nother note I'm scared a Buffy writer, what are thy thinking. Totaly diferent styles of shows.
No offence but since when has 640 * 420 = 1.3M I always thought 640*480 = 307200 pixels
a 1.3mega pixel camera is normaly 1280 * 1024 = 1310720pixels
realy this camera only has the resolution of one of those cheep toy digital cameras that you can pickup for less than $100 australian so probably $50 US
What do you mean by the sound wave is recreated perfectly. do you mean that you can capture the movement of every air molicule and suspended particles that are caused to vibrate?
This is compleetly different from transporting sound by using a microphone and speaker. 1 these are billions of photons, not the average of air preasure over the cone of a microphone. 2 They are the teleportation makes an "exact" replica of the photons in the lazer at the other point. 3 these are photons not waves, if you remember your high school physics light waves and light photons are two different (interconected) things.
5 in mic -> speaker you are basicly making an electrical aproximation to the air preasure waves, sending that electrical signal down a wire, and the speaker aproximating movement of its cone via the magnetic interactions from that signal. In quantum teleportation such as this, the quantum states of the molecules at each end are directly conected.
6 im sure someone eles could give a better explanation and more reasons
Email, voice mail and SMS messages are stored on a service provider's equipment pending delivery to the intended recipient and could be read by a government agency before the intended recipient even knew a message had been sent to them.
Well for email thats easy, use a forign web baised email.
Voice mail dont use your telcos "Message bank facility", use an answering machine, or if you like those anoying menues set one up with a modem and a computer.
For sms it's a little harder, if you realy dont want someome looking in on that sort of thing, buy an integrated phone / pda type thingy with GPRS and load up an instant messaging type client that has an SMS portal (ie ICQ) that way you can still recieve sms messages, and you can still send sms messages to phones but your incoming message never get "stored" on an australian server(if your IM is conecting to a forign server). They still pass through aussie servers and telco equipment but they arent stored.
P.S. I'm an aussie and i realy doubt this bill will actualy pass. I was listning to a story about this on the radio and not only are the other partys rejecting most of the bill but i wouldn't be suprised if some liberal party members cross the floor and vote it down
This debate between modeling vs. logic that has been going on for decades, The conectionists (ie. persons working on neural networks, genetic algorithns, ect...) say the non-conectionist (persones based in Logic, non-monotonic reasoning, ect...) approach can't lead to intelegence because it doesnt do what the brain does. Non-conectionists say conectionist are crap because there is no model and we have no idea how the brain realy works just some theorys on how some parts of the brain might work.
The non-conectionist aproach is a higher level version of "intelegence" that may or may not end up working. Either way i dont think either way even if either could pass the turing test (dont get me started on the turing test, that doesnt test intelegence) would emerge any kind of self awareness.
it is still a large, open source, knowledge database that is now available to many researchers working on self learning and self appropriation of facts and non-monotonic reasoning. I personaly would not call this "Intelegent" but what is intelegence, and can that really ever be achieved artificially.
This program accept input in the form of new rules and axioms, and updates its knowledge database (KD) appropriatly, it also can be asked questions to which it answers by searching through its KD combining rules on what it "thinks" are relevant and gives a responce, or asks for some more knowledge on the subject, before formulating a response.
This just means that it only hase one "sence" by which to learn with, and its "intelegence" is reactionary.
Now a child learns in a similar way, (s)he just has more inputs (which are continous, unlike the descrite inputs to Cyc), and more ways to get questions asked of them. To answer this question a child uses the information they know, and if they dont know it makes it up (generaly).
I know it has no where near the effect as CO2 or CO but i do seem to remember from my high school studies on the greenhouse effect that the greenhouse gases are
Aerosols (CFCs HFCs ect.), O3 (ozone gas), Carbon gases (Carbon-monoxide, carbon-dioxide), H2O (Water Vapor).
As I said earlier that water vapor has no where near the effect per-volume as Carbon gases, and if these types of cars became wide spread it would still equate to a reduction in greenhouse gases.
BUT with everyone driving one of these cars water vapor emiting cars, there will be a hell-of-alot more water vapor in the air resulting in more clouds, more rain, more storms, more flooding.
Has anyone else come to this conclusion?
(note: I have never been to china) I don't know how much this will actually affect the vast majority of chinese people(say 99.5%) china is still a third world country and the under welming minority who have access to a telephone line and a computer or the money for an internet cafe dont necessaraly read/speek english. Which the majority of the web content is written in. China is still a very closed country, I had a friend who went there a cupple years ago and he was traveling in a group. They werent suposed to go traveling alone, and they had a government official with them when the group went out. They wernt allowed to say certan things to some people or go certan places, or take photos of certan things. China is still compleetly closed military state, there are probably some people living in china that dont even know they have a soccialist government (or that most people around the world have this new fangled thing called electricity). Just my 2 cents.
It is ordinarily some 75,000 light-years from the Sun... The distant future looks bleak for Palomar 5
that means what we are seeing of Palomar 5 actually took place around 75,000 years ago.
I am no astronamer or astro physisist but is it possible that Palomar 5 is already gone.
If you sent the audio from each source as an individual (multiplexed packetized) stream, at each source you could just not play the stream (any packets) originating from that source. Simple and Effective, but would require sending more data than mixing one version at a central location and sending that version to all conections (but that would be silly anyway due to lag). But generaly you wouldnt have more than one person talking at a time and when it happens if you are using a decent compression targeted to voices (look at the compression schemes used in digital mobile phones (both GSM & CDMA)) this shouldnt be to much of a bandwidth problem anyway

So which is intellegent.
as an earlier post mentioned the disel engine is basicly the same as the Jetta's
