There is an exhibit in China Science and Technology Museum that also draws pictures. This is made of four ABB robots, so perhaps the cost is a bit more.. =)
Sorry, I could not find any representative pictures what this exhibit draws.
I don't know how reliable/unreliable the specifications are at this point but MSI Wind looks like to have only 1024Ã--600 resolution screen, and this Dell will have 1280Ã--800 resolution. So, a definitive edge to Dell there.
Yup. Quite a difference in imperial vs. US gallon.. Would have been a double good issue if they had defined the limit as 15 kilometers per liter. (Besides the about 0.1 increase in the limit) =)
If there was an English to Onion translator, oh boy would that make the everyday news sweet. Though the absolute truth might get obscured a bit, but who needs details anyway.. =)
BTW How many non-audio related uses do you know for vacuum tubes today? Does the military still use them?.. Besides some esoteric uses (microwave, RF heating, broadcasting tech.) they aren't really used that much besides audio. Hence they aren't manufactured like in their heyday. There are some five manufacturers today, but the best knowledge of their manufacturing is lost. The new ones just aren't so good.
I would save the Teks though. =) (Though the tubes in them are probably quite good..) Tube amps don't interest me much. I'm more into class A and (some) new digi amps anyway. Also the tek in my closet isn't based on tubes either..
Well, then you maybe someone should fix that Wikipedia page to reflect that state of affairs. I haven't been to States so I can't really tell how much it is sold there, and I have to rely on possibly misinformed sources as that Wikipedia article. And sorry I didn't mean to imply anything about your dental hygiene. =)
Well, there is this Finn with a Wingsuit and rocket boots. =) Obvious the very limited amount of fuel he had didn't make it very spectacular, I suppose. (vs. e.g. Jet-Man)
You haven't visited China, I take? Because you are saying that a big part of the people there are dicks.. =) The driving culture there is quite terrible from an European perspective.;) A three person family can be riding on a single moped. All without helmets of course. (When the moped goes for around 300 EUR, the helmets for all must be roughly the same.. Meaning too much. Just guessing here though.).. Also the driving rules there appear to be that you should _mostly_ stay on the right lane, and just keep watching out for the reckless drivers in front of you (that is, for all people in front of you) that can go anywhere they please.
What I think pushing-robot was saying that having the game just perform two or three basic/static swings, while you are wildly swinging the controller would not feel very good. Also the impression I got from your first post was that that should be how the games handle, i.e. only a few moves. Sure there are the limitations that only using some accelerometers has is that the game wouldn't probably be able to interpret them to make the game character hold the sword in exactly the same place you do.. So realistic looks may be impossible anyway.:( But still we should "aim higher".. If only for more advanced players.
because to provide a complete service in London alone would involve putting a mast on every single street corner.
There are already cameras on every corner, I'm sure they can handle antennas as well...
Well, putting a mast in every corner would mean that there would probably be a fibre channel there too.. And then it might be easier to get one to your home too..;)
Oh yes! One has cracked BR. One has found three holes in Vista. *Don't know how he got in running.. Maybe he traced it remotely. Yes, thats must be it... Or he just removed a ton of crud.*.... The rest though.. Hmm.. A few of them are bickering if the software is free as in mothers milk or free as in telling 'bout your non-conformist friend. The rest just want to have the UI head in two different directions; but most aren't really doing anything about it. Just complaining on SandDot.
That is funny and nice story. But could someone clarify about the end.. What is that about the reboot? I'm sure it has nothing to do with Black Monday, but an odd coincidence?
Solaris wasn't bad. Also, maybe he meant the Solyaris version (1972); there is the book too. But great movies list is a subjective thing.. So, you can dislike it how much you ever like.
You really had a computer in the 80's that had artificial intelligence and controlled nuclear missiles? Cool.. *Though unlikely..*
I also would have some problems of acknowledging your choice of ID; good as a special effects movie I guess, but SF; no way. But you can have it on your list just fine.
To thejynxed's great list I'd also add: Soylent Green, The Time Machine (1960 & okey the 2002 version too..), Brainstorm, Ghost in the Shell (1 & 2), Akira.. And since I'm a sucker for action, I'd add these too: The Fifth Element, Equilibrium and maybe Pitch Black (These all in addition to most of the BBC list, of course.)
Last night on Pen and Teller (god knows how late we get it here..), they pretty much trashed Atkins, as well as other diets, in true Pen and Teller style. Unhealthy!

Well, sword fighting can do that to you. :) Though, if he was lucky that was only in the Black Sun.

..More like it (the whole computer) could be used as an anchor. Could be legal in the US and third world countries..
Wups. Could have written that as 2.25 >= x < 2.5.
You don't have to round down. Just standard rounding works. (Though, just dropping the fraction to form the integers doesn't obviously work.)
2.49 + 2.49 = 4.98
Well, obviously anything in the range 2.25 > x < 2.5 (non-inclusive) works..
The point of the joke is of course about the internal data type vs. representation, dressed in 1 + 1 = 2 form. But you know that..
It's a social experiment, you see.
PS. Watch out or you might get a camera in a hard to reach place..
I think you could sell him a virtual matchbox car for 6.5M. At least if you through in a custom paint job or two. :)

Xylitol is a good-for-your-teeth-sugar. Apparently Americans haven't really started using it yet..

NASA gives a value between 10,000 and 170,000 years. (And calls the 10 million estimate as erroneous.)

You are right! They are HUGE. See here for yourself! Sorry for the bad quality of the image; it was so damn cloudy over there..
Damn if I can't stop laughing! I must be going mentally insane. Or, I'm just tired..

So Atkins diet is... BULLSHIT! =)
