When i was in Vegas a couple of years ago, I left that one for the last weekend. Bad, as there was no chance to go there again. OTOH, it was in december, so the temperatures were actually really nice.
Actually, she did not. And lots of fat, lazy and suehappy americans try to rationalize it later on. Coffee is SUPPOSED to be boiling hot. Try to get a real on at some point
Funny Fact: none of those was actually able to display that resolution. Scanning, yes. But the pitch of the dot/grill mask was not sufficient. -> "build in" antialiasing/blur filtering.
The "real" resolution of those monitors was usually at least 30% lower than the maximum supported one. everything above just pushed beyond nyquist and make your black lines gray.
Haha. Reminds me of one time i went to US from Canada (on a trip from europe) and managed to not get a i94 in that process. Happy funtime explaining why you dont have one in your passport when leaving the country...
Sorry, its _very_ missleading to say that cosmic rays HAVE 10^20eV. Most are many orders of magnitude lower. Take a look here: http://images.iop.org/objects/cern/cern/39/10/8/cernnews8_12-99.gif A 10^20eV Cosmic Ray is a "1 per km^2 per 100 years" event. Thats why the Oh My God particle was such an extraordinary event. Btw, that graph is even steeper than it looks, as the Y-axis is energetic flux, not perticle flux. (thus higher energy particles are overemphasized)
In that certain area. Because otherwise, no woman would _ever_ have won an olympic medal in any track and field competition... (dont nail me on it, some disciplines are close, where the woman gold metal winner might have made the podium in the male competition, but just take a look at the results this time around...)
Somehow, those two paragraphs dont make any sense at all.
a) Why would a strong wall move stop bearing load and overload others? b) There are quite a few reasons besides temperature to make stuff of metals. But why, go ahead with the birth feathers:)

How Heavy Is a Petabyte?

Air also weights more than elephants. In fact, every square meter of the world has 2 elephants of air on top of them.
When cell phones went smaller, their battery packs also became smaller. In size and in capacity (of course more in size).
A battery the size of the one in my old Nokia 5510, but made from LiPO, would have about 5-10 times the capacity of the tiny batteries in modern phones. As a modern phone will last a week in standby easily, even with those small 300mAh cells, i think 62 days is entirely reasonable if one can live with the phone being 100g heavier.
Seriously, i am not sure what you are talking about... Film has _some_ advantages, i will admit it. But low-light performance is NOT one of them. In fact, it is telling that the area where you need best low light performance was the first to switch to CCDs (Astronomy).
Modern pro-DSRL can make pictures at ISO 12800 and higher, with reasonable noise levels (consumer DSRL can still do 800 or 1600 without looking too crappy). Any film that would try to match that would look like a nice case of modern art, and not a photograph.
What right has anybody to dictate contracts in that regard? Why should somebody producing little traffic pay as much as somebody who produces a lot?
You dont pay your water bill by your pipe-diameter, or your electricity bill by your wire-gauge. So why should you pay your internet becaue of the maximum throughput possible?
Like being to stupid to know how your fuel gauge works and only taking half the fuel?
Remember, the accident was totally caused by nothing but the pilots themselves. The fact that they managed to save their asses afterwards doesnt really offset this...
But then again, the reaction rate goes up with the power of 28 or something of the temperture... (sorry, dont know it by heart. Just remembering that a few million kelvin can make the difference between "last till the end of the time" and "woooooshhh":). Carbon cycle is even worse...
I remember buying a voodoo for my P133. I had a lanparty at the same day (just 10 or so of us guys from school).
I build it in during the lanparty, and the first thing to try was glQuake. I had run it before a couple of parties back, and people where like "AWESOME how this looks. Too bad there is only a frame every 5 second" (no joke, Gl software wrapper was slow as fuck. But pretty).
Well, it ran on the voodoo, just as nice looking, with 30fps. Even though we were all kids without income, the majority of people in that room had a 300$ voodoo by the end of the month.
I dont think that i will ever see such a performance revolution again
I had the very very first version of the Virge (which wasnt even able to use all of its 4MByte outside of 3d...)
Back then i think i had an Pentium 133.
Of course this wasnt a fair comparison. Descent, for example, ran on the CPU in 320x200 in 256 colours, while the Virge version was running in 640x480, 32bit.
But this was WAY before resolution played a part in performance considerations (as _everything_ was running at 320)...
Sure, Virge "Accelerated" games ran slower than software rendering:)
But boy, they were pretty. Virge had 24 bit rendering and decent filterings, so going to a voodoo was quite a step back in image quality (for example in Descent). But things you do to get 5 times the framerate...

Well.
Bullshit.
Sorry, but true. Look up alpha radiation if you want to know why.

Yeah, true.
In fact, if i look at the bulk rates, its about the same price to mass produce and bulk-mail DVDs than to offer them to download.
Still, both prices are well below this processing fees...
Haha.

Wikipedia revision wars will be a GOLDMINE for future archeologist.

Well, that's because the space is too hot.
Even without the sun.
They are trying to measure the CMB. If you are not colder than outer space, most of the radiation would just come from the telescope itself...
Did, you mean.
Back when people still used flobby disks...
