Say [i]what[/i]? We're still talking about the electromagnetic spectrum, right? Circular antennas, which can't help but broadcast omnidirectionaly? Remember? Right hand rule and all?
Now either my high-school physics have deteriorated dramaticaly (possible, as I haven't needed that for years), or it just doesn't matter what direction an antenna is pointing,over short distances?
Now of course picking up signals is quite different, but not broadcasting them...
's not the point, is it? Or at least, that's what it sounds like to me. It just revels in what's there, doesn't make many statements...just accept some zen into your life, man.
"It is WCDMA (that's why external antennae, btw)"
Whatever happened to fractal antennas which can just be flat and lithographed/etched on chip? I read about them years back, and we still have these annoying, breakable, low quality stubs poking out of our phones (and even the ones which are antenna-less just have them on the inside of the casing).
This sounded like some kick-ass, instantly applicable and applyable tech to me...so why isn't it being implemented? Anyone?
What we have here is you not really understanding material science: everything bends when it's put under stress. What you're talking about is just using the structural shape to minimize the stresses. Same thing happens in any structure (at least, if you're an engineer, which I am). You compute the forces, then the stresses and then devise ways of minimising them. That's not aeroelasticity, that's just elasticity, something you takee into account in any calculation.
Uhm...you haven't been following aerospace technology recently, have you? They already have Predators (UAV used for recon) fitted with missiles. Used 'em in Yougoslavia for the first time, IIRC.
"...be dead (or not!)"
Great, now you have to drag Schrodinger into it too? As if Heisenberg wasn't enough!
And if you don't know why I'm dragging the latter into it, you're not thinking hard enough.
Well, for mision adaptable wings, look no further than the f14 or the Tornado. But then again, those where nowhere near as flexible (excuse the pun) as what's being talked about here. You might actually want to read the article.
Yeah! BR Rules, OK! Only thing UT2k3 misses is native voice comms, so you can actually coordinate tactics.
And no, Roger Wilco or Teamspeak isn't good enough, because you can't just play a pickup game on the public servers with voice:(
Is that what you want? C'mon, you know you hate it when politicians whine:) Someone whoe fights the good fight [i]should[/i] demand action and donations...
Yup: it is like the nokia 7110. And I've got one: it's quite popular in the Netherlands (came out as a cheap bundle) and the big screen and 'chik' sound it makes make it quite popular in movies too. Thew IrDA makes it a tweaker phone, too.
The one used in the matrix is the 8110, which doesn't have the spring loaded cover IRL.
So you thought the excessive following (call it harrassment) towards Einsten, Luther King and many, many obviously peacefull folk were justified? Do you really think that the FBI/CIA etc. has changed that much that they wouldn't do now (when they have governmnet sanctioning!) as they did then (when experimenting with psychotropic substances on the general population was definitly not allowed; neither was wiretapping without probable cause)?
It's frightening how much faith Americans have in the institutions which have shown time and again how untrustworthy they are...
Because it's no bussiness of theirs what I read. By your argument, you have a President who is in public service, so he can do what he wants!
And do you really think that with this system in place 9-11 wouldn't have happened? If so, you're deluding yourself. Bigtime. No efforts the US gov. have since taken would have stopped 9-11. Except for a simple blast door to the cockpits...and have those been installed yet? No.
And how is tracing personal phone calls any different from tracing your reading habbits? I'd actually say that the former is more usefull in tracking down 'terrorists', but I'm sure as hell against that, without probable cause.
Don't you get it? Freedoms are erroded one at a time, so you have to scream and shout every time one is taken away, or else you'll soon find yourself without any freedoms at all.
"They took away the gay's, but I wasn't gay so I didn't care.
They took away the Jews, but I was no Jew so I didn't care.
Then they came for me, but when I yelled for help, I found there was no-one there to help me".
Let's get this straight: here is one reason and actually one reason alone why the internet is as big a deal as it is. There is one thing that made it grow at the ridiculous rate it has.
SEX. Period.
Sure, it comes in handy for all kinds of things, (and yes I know it was ARPAnet and some guy in Bern;) who made it happen) but the only reason the net has grown so fast and so large is pr0n. Only a couple of years back did regular businesses come into the picture. But only because the infrastructure was in place. And why is that? Because porn made it possible. Don't laugh, don't mod this 'funny'...it's true!
So what is this 'good neighborhood' crap? Just because you might be a hypocritical puritan doesn't mean you can deny the past.
BTW, I'm all for a better classification of the net; it's always baffled me that there isn't a TLD.sex or.xxx where all adult/erotic sites must reside by (inter)national law. That would have a direct impact, as censoring (by parents or employers) would be easier to implement...but something like that would be a too easy solution, wouldn't it. (yeah, I can see circumventions too, but that would be exceptions to the rule).
Actually, I think IBM got out of the HD business because they've been thinking about the future of computing.
Where it's currently CPU+(RAM+HDD), it's soon going to be CPU+(data), with data being some kind of fast access, huge volume thing, maybe holographic. Hell, it could be an evolved sony smartcard, for all I care.
It's just a matter of time before the distinction between HD and RAM is obsolete, and operations will be done on the raw data (with maybe some partitioning of the dataspace, to distinguish between static data and data the cpu is operating on).
When that happens, HD's will be usefull only as portable storage (maybe). And IBM has profitted from selling their HD biz at top price, with money to invest in that future datastorage/manipulation media.
I'm gonna patent the EULA! Then I can sue everyone for having the same feature I'm using.
And my prior art is the 'keep out' sign I used to have on my bedroom door when I was a kid:)
...and now the big W has finally done it! Go Warner!
Ok, so the price point is still slightly high (don't these guys do price-elasticity studies?), but the fact remains: this is how everybody here has been wanting the studios to update their businessmodel.
And what do I see? Whining about how the security will be cracked.
This proves that most people on/. are warez-ers and leechers. Because you should be giving them kudos for this step, not ragging them off.
Hurray Warner bros for (finally, maybe even too late and too expensively, but finally nontheless) seeing the light!
I hope you can swim, then. And be carefull to avoid those patches of water which are hotter than the rest, due to being above certain bunkers which have been nuked...
Absolute bollocks: there's a reason I call CNN and BBC world propoganda 1 and 2 respectively: they both follow their nations agenda, suppressing and expanding on certain news stories. If you haven't noticed that, then you don't read/watch enough news.

First of all, it's mostly 'hate the Amercian government'. And secondly: -Kyoto -re-evaluation of the use of nukes (it's still affecting the huge cancerrate in Hiroshima and Nagasaki! After 50 years!) -the fact that the PATRIOT act has turned the US into a police state (and no-one seems to notice...) -known corrupt politicians (Senator Disney, anyone?) -the fact that every single deplyment of US troops has been in the US' best interest, but the US still tries to make us believe they do it 'for the good of the world'...if that's so, why didn't you go to Angola or try to end the South Afrikan Apartheid regime? People hate hypocrasy. -Echelon (the whole using a national spying apparatus for corperate gain). -the fact that your government is BOUGHT! by corperations and other forms of money. -the fact that after years of meddling in international affairs for your own gain, you don't stop whining after you finaly got hit back (only 3000 casualies...that's not a lot; ask the Angolans) and seem intent to drag the rest of the world into a destructive path of violence and the curtailment of privacy and other freedoms. -loads more
And still Americans seem genuinely surprised anyone would have anything against them...
Just rest assured that most people just hate the government, not the average American.
I had this idea a while back of publicly modifiable webpages, using some kind of addendum system (original webpage with comments, changes etc overlaid/added [in a different colour if need be]).
Originally I thought this might be usefull for simple spelling checking...usefull for slashdot articles, for example:)
Imagine my surprise when I surfed across to xerox, and found they have an actual system for doing this! (not the first time I've thought of something which had already been implemented:( ). To me, this is exactly the kind of system which can be used for public peer review of online publication; you publish your paper online, and let everyone at it. You might even filter by IP adress to make the comments of proffessor x at university y (who would have to make his comments from a university computer) have a higher priority...
I don't know if this has been touched upon in the article, but , in true/. style I didn't have time to read it:)
Then you should have [i]played[/i] b&w. And have had a reasonable intelligence and the games experience to see that what was going on [i]was/is[/i] revolutionary.

Not strictly true.

Second bit of your statement is true.

CAD/CAM...that is NOT Blender.
Yeah! BR Rules, OK! Only thing UT2k3 misses is native voice comms, so you can actually coordinate tactics. And no, Roger Wilco or Teamspeak isn't good enough, because you can't just play a pickup game on the public servers with voice :(
The grownups don't use Linux because (appart from pro/E, very recently, and that's crap) there is no CAD/CAM software for Linux. So that's my excuse :)

Ever heard of the 'electromagnetic spectrum'? It's all the same thing.
