There is a java applet called "graph.java" floating around on the net somewhere...I can't remember right now. It's been used in a ton of places and it's very modular for creating any sort of interface and display that you want. I don't know it's underpinnings too well, but I'm sure it's open source.
Nothing that I wrote precludes them having met in the past. When you assume, you make an ASS out of U not ME.
The point is that even the careful, methodical, intelligent, observant among us aren't appropriately skilled to strap people in for money and toss them into the stratosphere.
You see, Soylent Green almost had it right. As long as people keep freezing themselves, we'll have frozen stocks to make food from in the future without having to go to the gamey elderly and sick first.
It's like stocking your freezer before the winter storms set in.
Nobody said it was a crime. It is pretty underhanded to submit a self-serving "news" story in the form of a toy review which exists solely to turn a profit from sales of said toys. It was as "news for nerds"-worthy as an infomercial.
My post also let me directly link to the most interesting page deep in the product site about shooting people by trebuchets.
FORTRAN is still currently the language behind CHARMM and AMBER, two molecular force field programs in the realm of protein modelling/energetics. It's also the reason that PDB files (protein coordinate files) are the beast that they are to work with. Each column has to be in perfect alignment for when the FORTRAN parser reads them in as units for the CHARMM program.
...and then somebody set us up the bomb.
And we all have to make our own entertainment by performing reruns of our favorite episodes in shelters and subway tunnels until the radiation dies down on the surface world.
Alternate enough?
Full disclosure:
If you follow any of the Backyard Artillery or Puttyworld links in this review and then buy stuff, I'll get a cut of the profit. This fact has not influenced the content of this review at all. The booze and prostitutes these nice people sent me, now they influenced the heck out of me. But the percentage of the sales? Not at all.
While this may be true...I'm sure the kickback for being an affiliate was incentive enough to submit a late night story to/., now wasn't it...
Methinks it's time someone shot Dan from a trebuchet.
Now...imagine if one robot was built to race down the streets of San Francisco to the harbor where it transforms into a submarine to dive to LA where it jumps to all-terrain mode to roll on to Vegas. It then has the sociability to roll into the casino and receive its award without bumping into the race officials.
Now that would be a cool slashdot story...
...Oh, and it's gotta be able to beat Toro in Battlebots on Treasure Island on its way home.
When these things hover, do they go invisible and have birds bounce off of them. Do blue guys with poison gas come out and terrorize Mel Gibson?
Geezus, next week there's going to be an article about super-spies being developed from our children and our convicts.
Can we really trust this?

Feedback from a satisfied synthcart user:
"man, i wanted to tell you that my girlfriend is having trouble pulling me away from the damn atari...hte synth cart is the coolest thing ever."
Yeah...right...like anyone who is jammin' on his atari deck like it's a mixer has a girlfriend. And even if he did, would he be worth trying to pull away from his killer 4 note mix?
Escher actually used an increasingly complex elliptical array. Instead of a power law zoom which continually loops itself much like their avi's and mpg's, you would need to move increasingly faster to see the constant swirl of the pattern in a way that would make sense.
If you view this complex array that Escher used, you wouldn't get an upside-down reduced version of the image inside the "empty circle". You'd get something in what your eyes would perceive to be a small white dot with something that looks a lot like Escher's signature...
So the painting *is* finished...it's just you're not complex enough to see it.
Echoing the sentiment of others, I even wrote on the meetup page that I'd have to see closer to the date if I was going to be able to come or not. This was before my department scheduled a conference for Wednesday through Saturday for me to attend (and help organize). So, I was on a Duck Tour boat/car in the Charles River when the five of you found each other at Jillians.
This is a good page for the morse code and common abbreviations used by HAM (amateur radio) operators. You could always have your computer die with QSB? (are my signals fading?)...
Imagine you just sat down to find your favorite program. Now imagine you power up your digi-TV-recorder from Time Warner. You slowly hit the "Guide" button to scan for your favorite program. All of the sudden, it's there, right in front of you, an AD brought to you by Time Warner!! Sitting right there, next to your channel choices! As you scroll through the list, you can't help but want to run out and buy a Big Mac....large fries.....super-size coke....
They aren't doing this to compete with satellite...they're doing it to integrate advertising into the overlay screens.
Don't worry about the gas, there's an instant $300 rebate on the car if you agree to buy the gas at a "reasonable" rate from a bundled provider for one year. Of course, this gas is slightly inferior to other providers and it often brings up extra ads on your radio display.
Most granite gravestones are flat and some are even glossy...imagine if you put little projectors on the gravestone in front of them and ran rotating ads...would you need permission for that?

If you did a show on Mexican cuisine, how exactly would you make a Commander Taco?

This is Major Tom to Ground Controooollll....
Maybe these two should sit down and just *talk* about rocketing to outer space in a tin can built for two.
At least Walker isn't advocating that someone *else* sit in his fuel-powered deathtrap.
CRYONICS is a bunch of semi-rich idiots who took their love of glycerol-soaked popsicles too far. See here.
PLEASE keep the distinction as there are a lot of meaningful applications for CRYOGENICS and just a market for liquid nitrogen companies in CRYONICS.

MC Polynomial.
And he sang a song..."P can't Touch This". Before the drum break of this song, Poly sang:
It's a prime, because you know
P can't touch this
P can't touch this
Stop...Polynomial Time...
Thus giving rise to a branch of mathematical order functions denoting the complexity of a problem...
Either that or it's defined pretty well here.

For some things, "Because you can." just really isn't a good answer.
I don't think the guy in the suit comes with it though.

6. Is it automagically updatable? 6b. Do you have to pay a premium for the gnomes to perform the automagical update? :)

Ok, I'll stop being really morbid now.
