I work for NASA and I was doing sattelite verification work, where we strap all sorta shit to the belly of a P3 Orion aircraft that basically mimics a sattelite, fly over the ocean and compare the data with the sattelite to see it matches. So we fly through thunder storms in the P3 which is a 4 prop, unheated hell chamber. Fly high and the temperature suddenly drops to nothing and we all wear thermals, then we drop back down to the deck and the temperture jacks up, we sweat buckets and the terbulence sets in. Couple this with the instrument im in charge of going on the blink so there i am strapped to a metal chair in this flying gas can with a radiometer ripped open, doing voltage equations, multimeter in hand, writing code to do tests, sweating my ass off then suddenly freezing in my own sweat, having to get up and the terbulence is dangerously bad star-trek level insanity with people flying thru the air (i almost got knocked out at one point). Now throw in the sound of all the korean grad students barfing their brains out and smell of tuna fish vomit smackin me in the face like a can of beer in a pillow case while i try to do calculus that has to be correct enough for me not to blow the whole package up when i go to test something out. Fun.
Rio Karmas are the slickest players out there imho.. it even has a fricken ethernet port. Also a big screen and good interface design. In case you didnt know, Rio was bought out and resembles the old rio in name only so the previous customer failures shouldn't hound the new company. People are so convinced iPods are the greatest thing in the world that they dont even consider competition to it. My girlfriend wanted to get me an mp3 player for christmas and after much research i decided on the karma. She thought she would suprise me and bought the more expensive iPod and I was blown away at first. After playing with it for awhile im not too impressed. Sound quality is shite, interface is very intelligent tho, although its the one with the touch pad wheel which is neet at first until you try to use it while walking or something. iTunes tho is total crap and pisses me off to no end. And per the original topic, 1.5G??? what self respecting geek finds that useful..
They use Maple?! Say it aint so! The bane of engineering/science students the world over whos dreams are haunted by the evil red text of horrifically syntaxed integrals. AggAAGGhhH!!
Actually the attacks on civilian targets by both sides began with the accidental bombing of a british city by the germans, mistaking it for an airfield. Then the brits hit back and things escalated. The V2 wasn't used until the end of the war.
Your observations of what it takes to scale integration into a process-manageable infrastructure reflects the lack of lateral framework cohesion necessary to germinate client/customer capital consensus for vertical resource seeding in the digital economy. Sheesh, go back to redmond, dinosaur.
I used to believe this too until I brought the topic up with a few EM producers I know from different genres. They think mp3s are purely satanic and hate them and people who download them rabidly. If you go read any magazines that interview EM producers you will find this to be the opinion by and large. VERY FEW artists can scratch a living from live shows (real money requires being on tour which means you dont have a real job and think about how much you get per gig per week.. not much). An incredibly sad number of electronic music labels have folded in the last 2 years alone with no end in site. They are quick to blame mp3s as a major cause of this (which I disagree with as a the principal cause and I could rant pages about this). A friend of mine who runs a drum & bass label almost disowned me as a friend after he found out I was one of those mp3 bastards.
So go buy some mp3s! Support your scene.
I think youre confused, the basic "big bang" theory stands and has been proven numerous ways. What happened in the seconds, hours, years after the big bang is what causes controversy.
Robots would not be so hard to lose.
Obviously, jerk, you hever had a Digimon. Sniff.. dam.. Little Pachinko never had a chance with those bastard 8th graders over feeding him.
Thats what im saying! havnt these crazy fuckers ever seen The Terminator?? Put a chrome skull face on those little bastards and send them for strolls in the neighborhood! people will freak and head underground.
Finally, How many goddamn pessimistic slashdot asshole comments did i have to go thru before i find another that realizes THESE ARE FUCKING ROBOTS AND THEYRE DANCING PEOPLE. Its amazing! Watch the videos. Stick a basic AI and some machine vision in these things and...?!?!?! christ. If its not a mozilla update its just not impressive is it.
I dunno.. if the efficiency per photon remains constant the temperature shouldnt increase. "in theory" you should be absorbing and emitting the same number of photons per second as a normal window would.
Agreed this is ridiculous. "IF they got on the lan".. Maybe on a college campus this should be of greater concern.. but being on the lan at any typical company, shit, no one password protects their share folders at any place ive worked at. Most office gnomes end up just sharing their whole hard drive.
I would be much more concerned about rogue wardrivers suddenly showing up on our lan and 0wn1ng us all at counterstrike from out of the blue. Wouldnt that make my penis feel small.

interesting points! but my english professor would have burts laughing and spilled red ink all over this flowery soliloquy of abraham lincoln.
"like the rapist who drugs his victim and gently penetrates her"??- jesus man, this mellodrama should impress no one but torch waving farmers at the bandstand in 1840.
Yea i designed and built a transmitter that would go onto the backs of laboratory rats that would monitor their brainwaves via implanted electrodes. I figured i would be FCC compliant and use the free for all 2.4GHz band (800Mhz wasng big enough). Only after it was built did i realize i would slow roast the rat.. i said it was gunna die anyways cuz its a lab rat pumped full of drugs and its brain was exposed to the air, but they said it might 'skew the data' or some crap. Bastards.
I always wondered why this effect wasnt exploited more often for short range comm. So easy in the lab to take your poorly designed digital circuit and just put an oscilliscope near and and walla, theres the data on your circuit, no modulation or other assorted rubish.
Yea but how much did you help these people to get them to the level that theyre happy with whats going on? Honestly, without a guru around, no one can make much headway with linux. Sure its neet, but the user experience is also vastly dependent on installing software and hardware. We put mandrake on my g/fs computer and she thinks its really neet, then she downloads something and tells me "it says some error thing about GTk??" theres no way she would figure it out by her lonesome. Can i hand even a savvy windows user a linux cd and off they go no more help? nope.
What makes linux great for developers is what makes it tough for civilians: the mass modularity and the number of things that can break in the chain between double clicking your mp3 and it comming out your speakers.

Yea im almost positive youre right. I dont know where these people are getting their info.

why doncha use a 'real dog' ? Cadaver hunting dogs near here found some murdered people burried in 4 feet of poured concrete.
theyre most likely bundling training, data-base switches, and maybe full linux installation into 'installment'.
Yea because defense doesnt depend at all on the weather yknow..
