I don't know how practical this would end up being, but perhaps instead of spending any great sum of money on specialized equipment, perhaps you could find a way to cut down on the brightness of the surroundings that make seeing the screen hard for you. Perhaps some sort of special shielding built on the laptop, or modded there, like a visor of sorts. Perhaps some sort of tint for the screen of the laptop. I don't know the specifics of your condition. Perhaps you could get some sort of patio umbrella or similar device. In fact, perhaps you could just spend a minute more, to maybe get yourself out of the direct light; I assume you mean sunlight, not just the ominous glow of the florescent glow of the office. I hope this is of help, although it is just a list of money-saving alternatives. Good luck there.
If the United States hasn't tried it yet, there must be something wrong. They had a man on the moon over thirty years ago. They should have been capable to put a man on Mars shortly thereafter. There must be something horribly wrong. Now Russia wants to try and do what the US can't/won't do? Seems odd.
Doctor Who was the greatest show of all time. It had a very low budget. If you've ever seen many of the shows, they filmed them in four segments of twenty-five minutes each. They were shown one per day, every weekday. Sometimes the background music was so loud that you couldn't hear the actors. Sometimes you could see the zippers in the costumes. By god, the sound of the Tardis dematerializing was a man pulling a damp sponge against a piano string. It sounds, from the article, that they're going to put some money behind it. Most people nowadays could put something better together in a few hours at their local highschool. That's not the point. Tom Baker's scarf was knitted by one of the stagehands, not by some prop shop in Hollywood. K-9 was a rudimentary radio controlled car with a silver spray-painted cardboard box over it. Everyone who followed the shows, even for a little while knows this, it's plain to see. With fundage, they'll wreck the whole thing. The Doctor has only five regenerations left, I hope they get it right before it's too late to change.
The federal government instituted these bills so that the seperate states didn't make their own money, which was all of different colors, and of different sizes. They made everything the same so that our own people could have it easier. What the hell are we doing catering to foreign countries? Why not put the small pictures back and leave us the hell alone? Besides that, how will vending machines and change machines, etc, be able to adapt? They won't. We'll have to re-make all of them. Damn. What a total waste and hassle. Hm... leave it up to the federal government...
It takes a lot of money to develop and market a mini-drive for devices," Craig said. "The advantage for Philips is that they have been in the market for years," Craig said.
Am i reading this right? Philips has been in the market for mini-drive devices for years?
We used Karel J. Robot to teach the basics. It's a robot simulator with a good graphical display. The robots only a few basic instructions like move(), pickBeeper(), putBeeper(), turnLeft() and turnOff(). Robots can also sense beepers, walls, and other robots, as well as know their compass direction. The robots can also communicate with one-another. They roam the streets and avenues of the Robot World. It's all Java, and it was fun. Take a look if you're interested, the whole curriculum is online there at the previous link. Some of the kids had a hard time; but isn't that the point of introductory level CS classes, to weed out those who would rather chat on AOL or read their email in class?
If they can magnetically shield speakers so they don't mess with CRT monitors, they ought to be able to shield these bulbs from emitting these waves too. Or perhaps something from the same school of thought as the leaden vest and the x-ray machine at the dentist's office is in order.
First, we could learn if gravity is faster than the speed of light.
c = 300,000,000 m/s
g = 9.81 m/s/s
g * 306,000,000 s > c
306,000,000 sec = 9.70 years
don't think we can drop anything for that long a time...
We ought to research this more, in hopes of using this to develop Jetson-like vehicles. I'd love to putt around in one of those things, and drop my boy Elroy off at school. Then I'd be off to my job at Spacely Sprockets. *begins to sing the Jetson's Theme Song*
You have a team of mechanics, and for the last 20 years all they have serviced, as well as driven themselves are Ford automobiles. Now, your boss tells them to jump right in and service Chevrolet autos too. How easy will this change be? Depends on the mechanics and how they've been trained I suppose.
It sounds to me like you ought to do one of the following:
1) Hire a team to write you the converter. If it comes out good, maybe you could sell it to other companies in the same boat.
2) Give up and hire a team to start over, from scratch, and do it right this time. Will take longer, but will be easier, smaller in size when done, and cause fewer potential headaches along the way.
Hope this helps.:)
At least we won't have to blame our plane crashes on terrorists anymore. We can just blame the buggy software. The FAA is making the world a much better place indeed.

If I get ahold of this 10.6 Gigabit connection, I'll be able to get all my pr0n downloaded in a matter of days instead of months!

This book damn well better be 802.11 pages in length. Else, it couldn't possibly be called definitive.
Open Secure Shell? Is that like Passive Agression?
Mod parent up. Informative.

someone just hacked my game of gta3, i lost my saved game. oh damn.
How fine of motor control does it really take to insert/remove a CD from a drive?
Maybe this will finally explain why millions of people continue to buy and use Microsoft products.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe that was done so the link showed up in the Related Links box, by any chance?
I've been waiting a long while for this one to come out. Now I'll start waiting for the expansion set to be released... :P
oh shit, my speakers have suddenly stopped working... must be that magnetic shielding...

and what's all this about wrecking havoc anyway?

I'm going to get Episode II when it comes out.. on BETA.
Hell yeah, I'd be there, because they'd hand out karma like candy.
