not from the VIEW point of each character, but have a linear progression of scenes that are relative to the character. Most of the scenes will have more than one "main" character in it so the number of scenes is not as many as you would think... many would be duplicated. Think about it, it would work. In any case.. its just an idea cooked up in 30 sec's while typing in a comment on/. : )
Why not use both, Blue lasers at 405nm giving approx. 27Gbytes of storage capacity along with MPEG-4 for video compression?
The industry always seems to aim for "Just Enough" technology to get the next planned innovation out the door. It would be nice to see them aim for the moon and just let innovations develop as a result of the technology.
Just imagining a new form of media entertainment, where you watch a movie from the perspective of each character independently. It would be extremely non-linear and very watchable (if well written (think the experimental film "Foor Rooms" but where each character is followed...not just the bellhop)). Just an idea but POSSIBLE if the tech companies would produce technology and let the content providers peddle there wheres on whatever platform exists.
Think about it, Blu Ray (w/ MPEG4)= 25-35 hours of video? Yummy....
it was on the order of 30-50 times the mass of the sun would cause the star to collapse creating a blackhole. The final death cry of this star would create a radiation (gamma I believe) powerful enough to be euivelent to nuclear explosion for 300-400 lightyears in radius...
They called these things "Death Stars" as they can easily sterilize anything within its touch. They NOVA show went on to say basically there is only one or two stars that are on the mass scale of a potential "Death Star" within 500 light years of earth, but they dont think they are the "type" to implode...
I guess this makes you realize that the regions of the galaxy that life "Might" exist within our time frame would have to be along the edge of the galactic core? Possibly but who knows for sure when your talking on the order of billions of years.
I used to hold my own personal theory that if interstellar flight were possible on other planets with intelligent life it would probably occur within dense star clusters. Going to another star a mere 0.5 light years away is more attainable than 10-20 for your first leap into the unknown. But if this Death Star theory holds up then these are the LAST places that such a evolution in technology could occur. It's all a big interesting question that we will never know the answer to (our great great great great grand children perhaps but not us).
So I say create a galactic map of the galaxy. Everywhere there is a suspected "black hole" of sufficent mass, X out that reagion for 500 light years... Find a region free of blackholes and you may just have a place to aim that Arecibo radio telescope to have our SETI@Home clients busy.
Of all the consoles out there, or due to be out in 2001, this would surely be the one that has the capability of making the most of the Linux/BSD/etc. OSs. It is made to accept off the shelf accessories (with the exception of the HD and Ethernet attachment. Hell it is the first console trying to live in the space between Console and PC. It accepts USB keyboards and mice for God's sake!
I am in no way a "coder" so this is all just conceptual.
With that said: Why not just take advantage of the bots mutating ability and have them download an "update" which causes them to...
A. remove all traces to have the bot run at boot.
B. Create a text file on the desktop explaining that the computer has been infected.
C. remove itself upon completion and initate a reboot.
Seems simple enough to me, If a total, albeit, skilled programmer could infiltrate, and comprehend the network of comprimised Windows machines in week, it seems like it is a doable task. All that is needed is to obtain the trojan to have it reveal all the important information, then initate a Update via whatever command it looks for via irc.
Is there anything fundementally wrong with this mode of thinking?
Just get together with one of your local ISPs that offer DSL and conspire to get around Verizon. Order an alarm circuit which is a relatively easy thing to do, just don't mention ANYTHING about your true intentions of running data over the line.
Pass the info your conspiring ISP, (all the needed circuit id#'s, etc.) and they, if they have been in the DSL game for more than a year or two, will be able to get a DSL provider to provide service over that circuit.
As COVAD has moved from dedicated loop installs to line-sharing, you may or may not be able to get ADSL over the circuit, just the pricer SDSL.
Were there is a will, there is a way. And for more trials and tribulations check out dslreports.com. A virtual treasure trove of info there, aswell as people in a similiar position with the ILECs.
Almost no one drills straight down anyone.
Holes bend outward from a drilling platform, snake
along curved salt interfaces, go horizontal to
maximize the number porous cracks, and so on.
I wonder how easy it is to bend laser holes?
Hmmm... so that means if I strap a subwoofer to my ass my bones will get stronger?

CapuNet is by far the best DSL ISP in the MD/DC/VA area period. They didn't take the low road and give away the service to get subscribers, they earned each one with a great product and have some competent people working for them who inturn work with Covad to get problems solved. Even at 4am!
Anyone looking for DSL should avoid the large national carriers, should avoid the ILECS like the plague (with the exception of may one or two, can't remember them right off the bat), and support a smaller ISP that has been around for a while before the broadband hype.
Check their reviews, and sign up.
The DSL isn't as hard to get as it was say 3 years ago, when I first got it with BellAtlantic. Its much more prevelent and now that the first round of shake outs has begun, you can expect the situation to improve even more.
And for those that live in an area where your entire community is having problems getting broadband, check you this link Lariat.org. They put together their own wireless/wired broadband network for their community, all non-profit-like. 5$/mth for dialup, 20-30$/mth for 10MB/s wireless and for businesses T1/SDSL for 125$/mth... gotta admire love it...
On a less scholarly bent, we used to launch pool balls from the top of Ellicot Hall (8th Floor) into and sometimes over Bryd stadium using nothing more than surgical tubing and alot of alcohol.
If they have the capability to put a 4,000 lb payload into high earth orbit, they certainly have the ability to place one of their new warheads anywhere on the globe.
As an large organization (read as: Gov't/Multinational Corp) I would be manufacturing some really exotic materials/alloys/electronics, then shipping them back to earth. I am not sure of the exact composition of the moons surface, but I believe there is a massive amount of Nickel/Iron to be mined and refined.
With the absence of oxygen you can really put together some inovative materials that cannot be manufactured/processed on earth. Combine that with the low G, your combinations of imported materials with indigineous becomes even more broad.
On the other hand, the low G would enable you to construct different types of deep space ships that couldn't get off the ground on earth, with light weight materials and significantly less concentration on propellant. Going to the Moon, then to Mars is more realistic interms of staging a concerted effort to create a colony on Mars.
Lets not kid ourselves. We will colonize other planets in the future, its just a matter of time and resolve. Establishing a Research Center on the moon is the first real step in that direction.
You just brought up a good point. The first colonist on Mars may be Chinese.
They are one of the oldests continuous civilizations on earth, with well over a billion people. They have natural resources out the yin-yang, and haven't even begun to tap them.
If they were to push towards the colonization of Mars, they could very well claim it as their own, or at least try to.
By your logic, presumably, C++ would be even better if each time the developer left a dangling reference they received a high-voltage shock to the nipples.
That could aslo lead to some unexpected sexual deviancy among the developers.
Has it occured to anyone that M$ applies it same mechanics to its legal division as it does to the reset of its divisions? I don't even want to guess how many lawyers actually are working for M$ full time or on retainer, but the amount as to be staggering.
Personally, I just think they don't have anything better to do know that the DOJ case is over and they are switching gears for the appeal phase. A much more specific set of legal skills are required for an appeal.
Anyone know just how many lawyers are on the M$ payroll?
