Not the same as a whole sat, but still pretty impressive for 1960.
With on-the-fly genlocked effects. Two completely different things.
Linear editing is post-production editing, without the ability to randomly access a shot. In other words, you must hand cue up each shot then do an assemble edit. Non-linear editing is where the machine is smart enough to find your edit point from an edit list. Both terms come from tape editing, which is pretty much obsolete.
"Because the laws of physics - most specifically the inverse square law - work against the transmission of electromagnetic energies over vast distances."
The inverse square law only holds for point source spherical radiators. That why they had big fsking dishes in the movie "Contact". Duh. Well, no, that not why they have them on the receiving end, but you know what I mean.
One really had to wonder what the world is coming to. I mean, if the poster is really too stupid to figure this out him/herself, should they even be allowed to buy a router or use the internet?
Maybe theres a market for Open Source Black Opaque Tape for Dufuses that are too Stupid to do the Obvious. I could get a piece of that action.
I've never been in a real war, but I've worn the uniform, tossed grenades, been gassed and fired a machine gun. How about you?
I can also read. Here's what William Manchester says about it in The Glory and The Dream:
"Paris disturbed some Americans. It didn't look at all like an enslaved capital. Compared to London, it was prospering. Ed Murrow was surprised at the number of well-dressed women on the streets. Not only had the French textile industry flourished throughout the war; the French had developed the first practical television transmitters and sets. All the famous couturiers were in business-Molyneux, Lanvin, Schiaparelli-and their French customers were wearing full skirts and mutton-legged sleeves, which had long been out of the question for American and Britich women limited by clothes rationing.
So you see, all you have to do is read a little history instead of spouting righteous indignation.
That's what I like about slashdot. Get a little edgy in the wrong way and you're a troll or immature or whatnot.
And screw your comment about my attitude starting wars. I'm the one that's quoting history, asshole.
Why the French even care. With the exception of a handfull of brave resistance fighters, France seemed "to welcome their new Nazi overlords". Until the allies invaded, the trains ran, the power was on, and everyone was having a fine time drinking wine and playing with the fraulines. Other countries suffered brutally from the Nazis and we don't hear them complaining about stuff on Yahoo or ebay.
So what's up with the French? Some repressed guilt about their complacency?
I went to the website, which is nicely done and looks quite commercial, and couldn't find anything about whether the product had been certified by any security agency or even if it were submitted for cerification.
That begs the question of what this exactly is. It *doesn't* look like a group of Linux hackers doing it for "the love of the game". Looking at their ftp area, there's a whopping 48Kbytes of files for downloading.
They will sell you a CD for 249.00 along with support, but with a total of 48Kbytes of source, one has to wonder what he's getting.
Maybe I drank too much cheap US beer this weekend, because I just don't get it.
Put them in a big box and take them to the thrift store. Move to the country and get a job shoveling horse shit. Presumably, that kind of organics won't bother you.
You missed the whole point. I'm sure that the good professor can make one or two work. That's not the problem. The problem is making millions of them. That's what takes years of experience doing that. As an old boss once told me, "anyone can make something in their garage, the real trick is making 1000 of them with (pick your cheap labor rate) an hour labor.
You simply cannot make a cheap, reliable product *and* mass-produce it unless you've got the experience and talent to do that. And it's been my experience that university professors are about as far away from that skill set as you'll find.

American Hotrod and try some variations. I like the funnel-down-the-pants one.

Until I can buy used ones at the thrift store for a dollar a piece. Great for hacking.
"It's hard to fuck up a monopoly, but we're doing it"
At least 3 days before the meetings. Also committee agendas.
Online forms for bad street and traffic lights, sprinklers, etc with followup tracking.
I'd like to see the "very large truck" that can haul a 500 ton payload. 200 tons is a very large load for a railcar.
You don't even need an optics textbook. Do a thought experiment; candle, laserpointer, lightmeter.

Reminds me of a local talk radio show:
We've had people call in and say "you're just doing that for the ratings". Let me make one thing clear, everything we do is for ratings.
Between 802.11 and the upcoming Zigbee stuff, it won't be missed by many.
Obvious, insightful and recursive all at once...

Q) How to darken LED's
A) Black electrical tape
Mod) +4 insightful
Need I say more...
But unfortunately, the stock market does. SCO was $3 and change this morning.
I was fucking your mom in the ass. The whole time. Now...don't you have to die or something?
I don't think so. Assuming you were alive then, which you weren't, my mom would have killed you dead for trying.
No jerkoff, I spent 3 year in the regular Army '70-'73. What did you do?

Wow, sounds sorta like the Trinity...
Why wasn't I on the list, Needledick?

No problem, Then we can hire 250,000 clueless 3rd world tech support people to answer the calls.
