It is important to note that DLP is much different than Plamsa and LCD (excluding LCD projectors, which the article says "relied on bulky image-projecting equipment behind their screens") in that all DLP TVs are projection TVs. With that limitation, I imagine they will always be thicker than LCD and Plasma TVs, but probably cheaper as well.
The transistors fabricated in the article are bipolar, not CMOS. Bipolar transistors don't have gates, they have a bases.
Anyway, back to CMOS. Assuming equal voltage (which isn't true as voltages are decreasing with smaller processes), if the gate can be modeled as a capacitor, the power consumed would be larger for a higher frequency since voltage would be the same, but current would increase due to the lower impedance of a capacitor at a higher frequency. You can think of it as having to pull of the same amount of charge, but at a faster rate, thereby requiring more current. I believe the decreased power typically comes from the fact that the faster transistors are usually created with a smaller process and therefore use a lower voltage.
The parent is asking what I was thinking, though I think most people are looking for more of a game then a Pentium I over dialup can provide. What are you going to offer that most people don't have, seeing as most have fairly fast computers with broad band connections? I have seem gaming cafes that have been open for a couple years at vacation areas. Kids want to play at these locations, but parents are not willing to invest in high speed internet at a vacation house. Maybe even offer the kids a "plug" for their laptops, as most places I have seen require using the "business" computers.
I had a Christian friend tell me that they are forbidden in Christianity because they are bottom dwellers. I imagine that would be something in the Old Testament, so maybe they are forbidden in Judaism as well.
As somebody who has used every rebuttal as a place to lob insults at others, it is not surpising that you cannot see one of the potential educational uses of social sites is in gaining experience in interacting with others. Many otherwise intelligent people end up not reaching their full potential in society due to their horrible social intelligence.
Well, the bandwidth of the digital transmission isn't 2.4 GHz therefore one wouldn't need a 2.4 GHz DSP to generate the signal. Knowing little to nothing about the inner workings of cell phones, I would imagine the cell phones produce a digitally modulated signal at baseband and then using analog mixing and filtering to shift the baseband signal to RF.
Why would an EE know that the signal processing unit is operated at the same frequency as the RF? I have never done anything with cell phones, therefore had no idea that the signal processor operated at the same frequency as the RF. I see no reason the signal processing unit would have to run at the same frequency as the RF or is it for simplicity in that only one LO has to be generated?
Then why do scientists support this expansion theory with the red shift. It seems like this red shift is only representative of expansion in the three dimensions we are familiar with? Which leads back to the question, where is the center of this expansion?
The deadline is for broadcasts to be digital, not HD. HD is just a subset of digital broadcasts, there are also Standard Definition digital broadcasts.
I have read that 32-Bit applications typically run faster than 64-Bit applications (http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5768). As an owner of an Athlon64 3200 I am curious if you have verified that running the same code in 64-bit mode is faster. I was going to install 32-bit linux, but maybe this isn't the way to go.
For the same reason that power companies don't just route 120v everywhere. To provide the same power at a lower voltage, you need more current. More current over a wire with finite resistance causes more power loss.
Wouldn't all the harddrives spinning in the servers be as loud as a fan would be? Also, USB cable is transmitting digital information, so there should be no loss of information.
What is sad is that you think putting your arguments forward is going to change their mind and they think that putting their arguments forward is going to change your mind. Neither is changing their mind, and if you want to look at what each side is going to say just look back in every other thread relating to a science article. It gets old seeing the same arguments rehashed every day. As Ben Franklin said, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." I'm not saying people shouldn't discuss one side or the other, but it is obvious when a comment is made not for constructive discussion but for provocation (as the parent was).
Wow, I was shocked how long it took for the first person to start THE argument that happens every time any science article is posted. The parent will eventually be modded +5 Insightful and all posts from that time forward will be about Evolution and Intelligent Design and the original article will be a distant memory.
I downloaded VLC to play HDTV video clips that I downloaded from my cable box via firewire and I was not able to get it to play the clips without dropping a signficiant amount of frames; however, Elecard MPEG Player was able to play the clips without dropping frames. So it seems as though VLCs codecs are not as efficient as others. The details are 720P/60FPS video on a Athlon64 3200, 512 MB RAM (Single Channel), with an AGP-8x PNY GeForce6600 (256 MB). I may not have had something configured right on VLC, but I fumbled around for hours trying to get it working.
It is just as dishonest to say that the difference in stats between the Northeast and the South is due to the availability of guns. It also may be interesting to know that the median income in the South is approximately $40,000 where in the North it is $47,000. When people have more they have less need to steal. Anyhow, I'm sure income doesn't tell the whole story either, there are many variables in what causes more crime in some areas over others. I believe there are compelling arguments on both sides of the gun control issue, and because of this I think people should err on the side of more freedom.
So how many computers do you have on which you actually listen to music. You are aware that you can move music "like so: Copying it across the network" and play it on the other computer as long as you register the other computer. You don't "HAVE" to burn a CD first, you only have to burn a CD if you want to use it on more than 5 (?) different computers (or devices not using iTunes or an iPod, but that is not the issue you were complaining about).
"... FYI 1 yen is about.83 cents...."
This one, despite other posts to the contrary, is about right (today's rate is 0.00841 to the USD, or 0.841 yen = 1 cent). Considering the math proficiencey demonstrated so far, I'd give him a "close is good enough" checkmark on this question, to avoid the embarassing, and apparently inevitable, goose egg on his math final.
If 0.841 yen = 1 cent, that means 1 yen = 1/0.841 cent or ~1.19 cent. If you are going to criticize math, make sure you get your own right:)

So how is the universe "expanding" if there is no meaningful representation of its size?
whine, whine again.
Joule is a unit of energy, therefore, power (Watts) x time (Seconds). 1 J = 1 watt second.

I have another idea. Maybe they should try putting lead in the paint.

I've heard that it is also possible with a steam driven locomotive.

1080i also played fine on mine with VLC. Have you tried a 720P/60FPS with your system?

Had never heard of that before, but yes, very similar :)
