  1. Here's some other examples using kites: on $50 Aerial Digital Photography from a Balloon · · Score: 4, Informative

    William Freeman has a good page on his MIT AI lab homepage about doing the same thing except using kites to take pictures. (Btw, check out William T Freemans MIT e-mail address...)

    And another link to a good site is Charles Benton's site.

    Its interesting to note that there are lots of methos for creating unstructured panoramas. Where you have a set of images and the algorithm does its best to determine how to stick the images together to form a panorama. You could imagine a similar algorithm using these images to auotmatically create aerial maps... might make a good paper.

  2. Dell Inspirons had bad Fujitsu drives on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had a Dell Inspiron with a Fujitsu drive that used to make clicking noises all the time. When I asked Dell about it they sent me an IBM drive to replace it... they didn't say if they were having massive problems with them but they did indicate that there were a lot of these swaps going on.

  3. Re:Wow on US Secrecy Efforts Hurting Scientific Research · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You know the funny thing is that the United States is a republic not a democracy... read your history books. Democracy's are where everyone votes, the electoral collage elects people. Thats why the pledge of allegiance says 'republic for which it stands'
