I have a cousin of those displays on my vintage 1960's Tektronix test gear. On some plugins, the sweep speed is displayed on what looks like a LCD screen but it's a projection screen. It only has a 1 2 5 sequence of digits, but a 2 or a 5 can appear on the same spot. It's quite lovely.
About 8 years ago I lived in Montreal near Warshaw's. They sold cases of Java Cola. It was the single most delicious soda I've ever had. Warshaw's has since disappeared from the Main, and I can't find Java Cola anywhere. It was a sweet, very carbonated and very coffee flavored drink, not too much caffeine.
Whenever I mention it, I get blank stares. Like when I ask for Bitter Lemon...
I really enjoyed your rant about engineering. It's so true. I never went to university until 33, then I quickly dropped out as I realized that it's got nothing to do with learning, but rather transferring my hard-earned money into the university's pockets.
The classes were awful, and being the oldest guy in the room didn't do much for me personally. I was a wiz in chemistry in high school, but very much tired of it by 33, yet they had me take high school chemistry AGAIN because I'm old.
Well, the labs were insulting to my intelligence (does sugar dissolve in water? Let me find out), they were not prepared physically in the lab to have the @#$@#$! materials on hand, AND the TA jackass hated me personally because I called him on his bullshit and therefore failed my lab report. It's strange because even in 2003 people were handing in hand-written reports on ratty wrinkled paper torn from spiral-binders, and they got better marks. I handed a laser printed, edited, spell-checked report with graphics and tables.
I got so upset I wanted the guy fired. I realized school is for children, and not for 33 year olds with a decade's worth of real-world experience.
When I got my grades by mail, I didn't even open it just tossed it in the shredder. Never went back.
I work in electrical engineering anyways, university can suck my ass.
I guess they fired the guy that checks the old LOSE/LOOSE thing over at your office, huh?

I infer the same thing, but I blame nutritional deficiencies for the chemical problems, due to the awful food we have easily available and to pyroluria. I just eat zinc supplements, evening Primrose oil and a color- and flavor-free multivitamin (red food coloring is very bad for me). I get up at 6, go biking, hit the gym, then eat a small breakfast with 1 zinc and one oil supplement.
Then I eat small meals throughout the day, usually low-glycemic carbs like apples and oranges, some protein like yogurt. Lots of water. No smoking or coffee. Refined sugar snacks in low doses.
Lost weight, feel great, lots of energy, mental energy too. Constant erections too, but that's another story.

That's essentially correct; but in your haste to make a "point", you assumed that fairies don't exist in order to mock these extra dimensions. Now, I'm guessing you know fairies don't exist because you used the scientific method, or trust someone who used the scientific method a long time ago. Either way, it takes time to prove or disprove the existence of fairies if you're being scientific and honest. So give the scientists a bit of time to work it all out, OK?
If you're looking for ready-made answers with no thinking involved, might I suggest any number of religions?
I only see this as being useful for medical displays, the kind of monitors with 4096x4096 resolutions and up, right now these are driven by several cards bundled together, each driving its part of the screen.
If you just sit there and read the screen, the content hasn't changed but the interface keeps sending the same picture over and over. With this new interface, the picture is sent once, and it only sends the changes, like let's say the pointer moving around. I'm not sure how they're going to implement this, it's not as easy as it seems, it would require a lot of work on the video chip itself.
That's great, did you use the same camera with the same settings at the same place at the same time in the same position?
Then show me the numbers of the measured difference. And then I still want to know if the photographer didn't pull some kind of double exposure stunt while I wasn't watching.

That's 1351 mouse and 1581 floppy drive. I think I'll try and glue them together tonight and see if I can't come up with a floppy mouse or something.
You know what needs to die? That horrible spelling: astronaught. Naught? Say what?

Every once in a while something comes out of left field and just totally amazes me. Downloading it now!
I guess the fact I laughed at that explains why I am still single. Or maybe the fact that I am purchasing a remote controlled helicopter...

What's ironic about it? It would have been if he posted AC on a BBS.
So to feel good, you need to see others in misery? And the other guy is what's scaring you?
Hydrazine is pretty toxic.

I'm just that way.
Do you use the same brain to view the photos as well as the real scene?
"those that would give up essential liberty for temporal safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I happen to think temporal safety is very important, thankyousoverymuch. All that causality and stuff, ya know?
