I tried evaluating the perfect size monitor sometime back. To me, 24" was just a bit too small, but with 30", I found I had to move my head side to side too much at normal viewing distance. I haven't played with a 27", but I think that size would be just perfect.
You must be mixed up. I recall installing it years ago and the Java version was nowhere near feature complete while the C# version was quite speedy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_World_Wind#World_Wind_Java The original recipe for World Wind was restricted to Windows, relying on the.NET libraries and DirectX. A new SDK version of World Wind has been developed in Java with JOGL referred to as World Wind Java.
Then you shouldn't be glad this decision was made . What you should be pushing for is for govt regulation of the table saw industry to include saw stop mandatorily
You pay for the bottom line of the equipment manufacturers: I recall being told by a person who knew that heart pacemakers cost US$ 250 to make, and were sold for US$ 20,000. This did not include the cost of fitting them.
A light pen that 'reads' an 'imperceptible flickering' LCD screen to both figure out which point its touching, and the data the PC wants to send at that point
Just somewhat related: Can Apple's Wifi chipset be somehow set to work in adhoc mode?
i.e. Can an IPhone/ITouch app (even a Jailbroken one?) let you communicate with the other 50 IPhone/ITouch users in the train you're on, without paying the cell companies?

I once spoke to an artist in a market fair. She was selling paintings and prints of paintings.
I was thinking of buying a painting from her. I asked if I would have the right to make prints of the painting I bought. She said I wouldn't - the rights remained with her.
I did not buy her painting.
Why this attitude from artists? It's not like there's a finite supply of artistry within an artist and it dries up in a decade - its lasts a lifetime.
What next? I take pictures of my new kitchen for 'Better Homes and Gardens' and the cabinet makers sue me?
Another idea that could help is having analog buttons and joysticks with tiny OLEDs mounted on the keys/buttons/sticks (like the Optimus keyboard). Perhaps even the physicals components could be reconfigurable like the Rubik cube.
Also wonder if it would be possible to build constructive interference with several piezo sensors to generate feedback
Anyway, here's to ideas and inventions [everything here is public domain]

No, of course not. They'll just demand that the person in question setup residence in their virtual reality world of choice.

thanks!
Curious: what resolution do you get in webcam mode over firewire?
Do you perceive any lag in webcam mode?
What about google's "open social"? Haven't heard about it for a year or two ..
Living in the love of the common people isn't enough... HD-DVD gave people that benefit too.
Thanks. (;
it may be too early to say for sure , but it's looking good

I'm curious what your experience is.
So depending on your beliefs about slavery, an additional one person with two slaves would do?

for software, that's contributing code to the public domain.

I remember playing with one of those as a kid :)
Also remember a similar idea:

I dont' think Bluetooth would be a better transport as its range and bandwidth are inferior to Wifi.

Well, a lot of these chemicals cause harm that wasn't recognized in the past.
Besides Silicon valley is happy to live in Cal.
Where are most chip fabs these days?
One thing I recall from Cal is massive traffic jams and rude people (around Novato)
You can disagree but you really speak for yourself. I have the opposite experience.

I hope you didn't buy it off Amazon ;0)
I agree.
Here's a blue-sky idea that could help.

Yes, but only just.

"But punishing people who most likely didn't even know such a law exists "
Oh, they know. Everyone does. Its called conscience.
"does nothing but give us satisfaction with the thought that we wouldn't do that sort of thing, when of course, we likely would."
Yes we would. We would also speed, cheat on our spouses, not pay our taxes, etc.
Yes, but you've only brought one.
