At 9150m, a plane such as this which is 180kg + say 80kg human (260kg) holds about 23.34 Mega Joules of gravitational potential energy. Can 45kg batteries hold this much energy to push it up that high? (Not even considering the power required)
wed128 doesn't realize that it doesn't matter if light is produced from behind the text or is reflected from around it. Luminance is luminance, no matter if it is emitted or reflected. Dim the display to be the same as paper in you current environment. What makes paper easier to read is print, pen, and pencil are usually thicker/bolder than displayed text, and of higher resolution.
Doesn't the top 1 percent control 42 percent of the wealth in USA? So that probably means that most of the bailout money actually did come from those those few percent that "can afford to buy them", since they payed most of the tax.
Sigh, you didn't read it either, so for your benefit let me do the work for you...
"In 2008, Kline and Eagleman demonstrated that illusory reversals of two spatially overlapping motions could be perceived separately, providing further evidence that illusory motion reversal is not caused by temporal sampling [9]. They also showed that illusory motion reversal occurs with non-uniform and non-periodic stimuli (for example, a spinning belt of sandpaper), which also cannot be compatible with discrete sampling. Kline and Eagleman proposed instead that the effect results from a "motion during-effect," meaning that a motion after-effect becomes superimposed on the real motion"
So, by the latest study the included, you do see the wagon wheel effect under continuous illumination, although it is not due to "temporal sampling". The reason behind the effect is still not fully understood and the authors have proposed the ffect results from a "motion during-effect".

You didn't even read your own link. So for the benefit of people who may stumble upon your misinformed post let me say that the wagon wheel effect is visible with the naked eye under continuous illumination, which happens to be mentioned in your own link.
I heard that Google weighs certain websites it deems more valuable over others, in addition to the default weight given by the PageRank algorithm. Can anyone confirm this?
That's because Hollywood is just crap rendered in good graphics. There are international studios that produce high quality cinema which will live on due to the content, and not a glossy wrapper.
Uproar *from the people* is fine. The problem here is that, as I understand it, the ban is coming from the Russian government. There is no way the US government could get a game banned over content that portrayed Americans negatively. Any attempt would rightly be overturned as unconstitutional.
When I read this, I thought, "wha?". With the patriot act and the way the police execute their power, I thought that the constitution was used to wipe the asses of the corporations a long time ago, but when I consulted the good book of a 1000 truths it seems that the US haven't banned any video games at all. Compared to other nations, like Australia, which ban video games as if their going for some kind of Guinness record.
Good point, I didn't think about that way. More specifically the server could for example render expensive global illumination and then send the textures to the client, which can use simple GPUs to apply the textures to local meshes.
Forget the data transfers, they'll increase, it's the latency that's the problem. Games using this technology will be almost useless, especially action games. Currently you get practically 0ms latency when you interact with a game, which is what makes it seem fast. If it's a multiplayer game then the only latency you get are from other people, and if they appear to go left 50ms later than when they pressed the button to go left it doesn't make a difference for you, since you don't know when they pressed the button. If you get 50ms latency on your own controls, then it's really really visible, since we have great motion vision... like T-Rexes.

Despite all of this I'm not at all confident in my understanding of such a vast topic.
Some people are a little slow, but stick to it, you'll get there eventually.
All that does is put pressure on marketing to release new products as 2.0, or even 2010.
Songbirds are studied quiet a bit in neuroscience
Kandel mentioned his use of Aplysia in neuroscience, is it also used often by the rest of the neuroscience community?

I just read what that means, and you freaked me out. Cockroaches seem so much more disgusting to me now.
In the scientific community OpenGL reigns supreme. So AutoCAD really isn't the last place OpenGL stands strong.

Why do we see the wagon wheel effect if updates are asynchronous? There must be some synchronization going on down the line.

where 9 is for the number of possible rectangles
This also assumes that you're building a rectangle.
and that all your pieces are attached, if you allow arbitrary separation then the number of combinations is infinite.

Google generates much much more than a million dollars to the top 1000 e-commerce websites, and in a few days.
I heard it was a zillion in a few minutes.
