The trend would probably be using a single lense and spliting the image for multiple sensors. This was actually seen as a big deal when it was first done for the film and the viewfinder in cameras but now it's relativly simple.
So this is what people did with their time before there was open source. Donate it to individual companies. Now let's say that back then the same work was done open source not only would of it been on more platforms and millions of more machines but it also might of been expanded to something even cooler. Same Pay. Same coolness. Better recognition. Maybe even a job offer somewhere.
The real reason is because people are making the lie up at the time of the test. If you convince yourself the lie is the truth before hand the results are probably different. As george said in sienfeld, "its only a lie if you belive it is a lie"
basically sombody who is really determined can see your number, change theirs, and frame you with out you ever knowing what happened until your front door comes flying off it's hinges.
I loathe to even discuss politics on this forum for fear of getting banned for life but I think there is a divergence for science oriented republican leaning members. They agree with republican principles except when it comes to open source. They see the beauty of the science of open source where as politically right people see it as anti business pseudo -communism (think bush not enthusiastically supporting the Microsoft lawsuit). I think that as they see it more as true democracy Republican will come around. Of course once that happens the New York Times will decide that open source must of really been evil.
"Or maybe you are being selective in your memory. The forged Guard document story was thoroughly covered on Slashdot to the detriment of CBS, Kerry and the Democrats though its questionable if it had anything to do with Kerry and the Democrats. Maybe you just can't cope with stories that don't agree with your world view so you fixate on them."
Sorry but first Slashdot broke the memo release "http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/09/1546251&tid=224&tid=219"
and THEN once the forgery was discovered discussed it. "http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/09/2042211&tid=224&tid=219"
Why was it technology news before it was known to be forged?
"The "liberal bias" in American media has been largely erased,"
probably the only thing we come close to agreeing on but I would say partially erased. At least you admit there once was one. I think you are well advanced of some of your peers.
"and the pounding CBS is taking should finish it off"
The pounding CBS is getting is because they promoted a fraud that could have chosen the entire course of world events for the next four years. Let's say whoever did this had a three digit IQ and used a real typewriter? Will people ever beleive a document release again?
"They were to busy riding along with the troops cheering it on"
Supporting our troops has nothing to do with politics. America has learnt that the only thing bashing our troops because we don't support a decision they are following accomplishes is to ruin their lives afterwards
The whole point is that I think it would be silly to make to many assumptions about bush now because a sitting president is always controversial. The only fair answer I could give is to say look at Reagan. Many people hated him and thought he was dim. Many still do. But this week in Business Weeks 75th anniversary issue they reprinted many past covers. On Mar,12th 1979 the cover was "The decline of U.S. Power", by Jun 5 1989 it had become "Communism In Turmoil". And the funny thing is that from people on the hard left the only arguments I ever hear is "he got lucky", "America is not really a better place", and "his advisers did all of the work" (usually 2 & 3!). 2 is subjective but for 1 and 3 not only was he giving speeches on it way before he even had advisers but it has been documented that his advisers caused some of his biggest problems ( like his speech writer who wanted to remove the phrase "Mr. Gorbachav tear down this wall" because it didn't sound presidential to be so unrealistic (look it up!)).(If you want to claim that the covers are anecdotal, go to a library and read any back issue of that time. Newsweek was screaming that Russia was coming out with a new carrier that would take America a decade to catch up with)
I'm not saying that Bush is any Reagan as the polls show but I ask you how much of you dislike is your personal desire to be right and how much is based on real policy.
"I know it's flamebait. but seriously, as bland of a candidate as kerry is can you honestly say, of bush, that you still trust him?"
Yes, my OPINION is that it seems that bush takes many positions on issues that hurt him politically, like spending billions of dollars on a already bloated budget to try to buy votes, and then loosing any chance of getting them by banning stem cell research even though his base was already behind him at %90+ levels, while EVERY positions I have ever heard Kerry say (and I do try to listen to him and do like him on some issues) is conveniently the position that the audience wants to hear.
"Your argument would have been stronger if you pointed out the "good" things that republicans have done, or "bad" things the democrats have done"
"Would you give some examples?"
In my opinion that would be true biasness, because any one can find some examples of good and bad news, and in politics good and bad it's self is highly biased. I think a better rational is to point out that during that "bad" time, from the convention to the before first debate, bush had surged by as much as much as 15 points in many polls how much bad news could there be during that time? My point was why should "White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs" have anything to do with technology or nerds while "Rumsfeld Sees Retaking of Samarra as Model" which I have seen many mainstream news consider a possible turn in the tide toward free elections (their analysis not mine) have nothing to do with technology.
"I hate to sound biased, but I probably am"
We are all biased, those who think that their not are biased and foolish, but news belongs in the news section and editorials belong in the editorial section.
"I just don't see how a rational person can look at the republicans and not see the ugliness."
Were not talking about Bary Goldwater or Walter Monindale, this is a fifty-fifty election if a hundred and 35 million people disagree with you, it's pretty sad if the only conclusion you can come to is that they are totally irrational.
I always wondered why there is so little political news articles posted on Slashdot as it does have a lot to do with the future of tech. It's beginning to become clear that politics is only important to technology if it hurts a candidate the editors don't like. You be shocked at how few steps there are between a small editorial bias and CBS's memogate. I know that I will be flamed with out mercy for daring to suggest a bias but here is a sample of
Still as ugly as hell. I love mandrake for it's usability but when are they going to learn that looks matter. The three biggest "distributions" have the most resources put into looks (Apple, MS, and Redhat). Why dont they make a screenshot contest and then emulate the winner.
I can't understand why this is news. The market has shown that nobody wants a car that has to be plugged in for 6 hours just to be driven for 30min at top speed. Put a fuel cell in it and it could become a critical app.
Just a thought, will broadcasting sasser on wifi frequencies become a effective combat technique against sweden? Then again sweden doesn't fight much so I guess their not worried.
But keep into account that not only did the sound card manufacture probably write the drivers for microsoft products and they probably also told microsoft anything they want to know for compatibility. Compare that to linux devs who have to write all of their own drivers and be treated with contempt. For a true comparison try using a scsi adapter with linux. I have plugged several gbit adapters into red hat distros going back several years and had them work with no drivers needed even though the manufactures offered them. The same cards on win xp service pack 1a needed drivers. The reason is obvious, linux has a large portion of the server market so it has to be taken seriously by hardware manufactures. When linux hits above %20-30 of desktops lets see how good the hardware compatibility is on desktop components.
I HATE April first, you can never tell what's real, BSD on Game boy? Next youll tell me rush limbuagh is a drug addict and the cubs almost won the pennant
It's getting to the point were some people have so much that there's nothing you can buy them, so now you can give the thought with out burdening them with the need to actually deal with the item.
The problem with having your girlfreind work for you is that if she gets tardy there comes a point were you are just paying her to have sex. The great philosopher sienfeld figured that one out.
It has already been slashdoted. Why don't the allow some slashdot users to be given early access so they can cache it so that everybody can see it? This would also solve the problem of not allowing editors to change their site in advance of a "slashwave"

I don't see what the big deal is. In the early days of flight many people flew with out wings. They just made sure to fly downward (really fast).

Hollywood != reality. And they don't control reality either for proof see the last election!
