I have a 34" 1080i/480p/480i CRT, and I really love it. The thing you really appreciate with this kind of monitor is the total lack of scaling artifacts. There are a lot of panels out there with nice displays and terrible scalers, and they look bad with any input other than their exact native format. Sony is particularly guilty of this: every LCD panel they sell -- from $1000 to $15,000 -- looks terrible. But a CRT lacks a "native" format and can look good with any kind of input. Also, a CRT need not do an analog-to-digital conversion to handle regular composite, component, and s-video signals.
The downside is that CRTs are hard to find these days, and there will probably never be one that handles 720p or 1080p. Alas! But if you snag one today, you can ride out the early panel wars and buy a really nice panel in 5-10 years.
WTF are you talking about? A developer key does not give you "access to every blackberry out there." The key is used to sign your application, and then the Blackberry runtime will give your application access to protected APIs. The user (or IT department, depending on policy) must intentionally install your software. There's no way to accidentally install software on your Blackberry.
Also it's not trivial to get additional keys. The Blackberry signing certificate program is managed by humans and they catch on pretty quickly. If you even use the signing keys from more than one computer, their signature server will become upset and you'll probably get a phone call from RIM operations.
This is a pretty stupid white paper. The whole point of the key is that you can easily tell which key is being used by the offending applications, and then revoke that key. And it costs the attacker $100 per attack. It's a good system which balances the needs of the network, the users, and developers.
I am totally willing to blame anything on developers, believe me. All of the new apartments/condos (depending on market conditions) are also equipped with charming cielings hardly higher than 7 feet, outgassing petromaterials, and some of the worst floor plans on which I have ever laid eyes.
That's why I said I don't really disagree with the ADA, only the result. And the confusion between the federal and state statutes is just my own ignorance. I lump it all in under ADA, even though the city of San Francisco is responsible for yet a third layer of good intentions/bad results.
There are many examples of this foolishness. Here in San Francisco the ADA-compliant public self-cleaning restrooms are so large inside that they are mainly used by hookers as a convenient place to deliver a blow job. All apartments recently constructed here in the city have ADA-compliant bathrooms large enough to U-turn a fire truck. Let me tell you that it really impinges on your 800-square-foot apartment when your bathroom is statutorily required to be at least 100 square feet. And even a remodel triggers the ADA: in my former office, we had obnoxious ADA-compliant bathrooms which were both huge and furnished with uncomfortably-tall ADA-compliant toilets.
At all the new parks in the city, the picnic tables are 1) missing one of the seats and 2) have tables mounted neck-high so you can run a wheelchair underneath them. The furniture is very uncomfortable for the 99.9% of the normally-abled public.
The ADA had the right idea but the implementation has been a nuisance.
I noticed in the documentary that the Diebold machine tested in Tallahassee prints "Diebold Memroy Card" on its little grocery-store-quality tape. Is this kind of slipshod programming reflected throughout the Diebold system?
I think your response is ridiculous. Some story has to be the #1 result for Conrad Burns. It might as well be the story about how he behaved like an ingrateful jerk to a squad of firefighters from another state.
This can have an appreciable effect. They are not linking terms like "laughable assclown", they are linking the candidate's OWN NAME to a news article about the candidate. Therefore people who are searching for information about the candidate are more likely to read the targeted article. It's simple and not at all misleading.
Why is it sleazy and destructive? The "google bomb" in question links the candidate's name to a mainstream news article about that candidate. It's not a goatse bomb.
This only makes sense if you are going to count all the ALUs and SIMD units separately for the CPUs, too. Your basic CPU can issue at least two floating point calculations in parallel and/or use SIMD units to operate on vectors as large as 128 bits. So the capabilities you ascribe to a GPU are not uncommon in a CPU.
The differences come in the quantity, not the kind. A CPU gives over a lot of transistors to caches and complex logic units. A GPU does not care much about logic and lacks caches.
Good one... but I also wonder why anyone is throwing around the term "ASIC" in this article. A GPU is obviously not an application-specific circuit, which is clearly shown by the fact that it can be programmed to process graphics, or protein folding, or numerous other tasks. A GPU is a general-purpose processor like a CPU, it just happens to have different numbers and kinds of execution units.
Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! STRONGLY INDICATE! My goodness! I assume this is synonymous with "it is widely believed" esp. when uttered at the beginning of a Fox News broadcast. e.g. "It is widely believed that John Kerry ate a baby for lunch on Tuesday."
A gun-assembly bomb - Hiroshima type - would have yielded 10-30kT as you say, and it's so simple that I can't believe the North Koreans would be able to mess it up. The Americans didn't even bother to test the design, they just went right ahead and dropped it on Hiroshima in full confidence that it would work as advertised. Just slam one lump of weapons-grade uranium into another and boom.
Thing is, the DPRK doesn't have that much enriched uranium. Their plutonium production technology is much more advanced than their ability to enrich uranium.
Doesn't this theory assume that the theoretical large pile of conventional explosives is detonated from a single source? Couldn't the signature of the detonation be shortened by detonating the same amount of material with multiple detonators?
Oh no! They don't support _genre_! Call the metadata police!
Genre is a broken concept and everybody knows it. Practically every CD ever released is listed in FreeDB under half a dozen different genres, all entries having slightly different errors. No FreeDB booster was ever able to sufficiently explain to me why, for example, Hotel California should be listed under New Age.
The multiple genre CDDB defect has this amusing side effect in all FreeDB-reliant CD rippers:
Multiple results found. Please choose: 1) The Same Title 2) The Same Title 3) The Same Title 4) The Same Title
The system is practically useless for anyone who actually cares about consistency in metadata and/or has a large collection to rip.
It should be noted that Intel manufactures the only technologically-current graphics processor which can claim to have open source drivers, and then Intel series of gigabit ethernet NICs is by far the best choice for use with Linux. Intel's wireless chips, the subject of the article, are not completely open but are rather more open than some of the competition.
This is a different kind of delisting. LNUX was going to be delisted because the company was worthless and the NASD felt that the general public should not be endangered by trading such a piece of crap on a major market. NOVL and DELL are going to have their tickers changed temporarily until they finish their audits and file their 10-Q, then they will be listed under their regular ticker again. This happens to plenty of companies quite frequently.
Your old VCR probably had manual gain controls (a.k.a. "record level") or fixed gain. Also, any old sample-and-hold circuit will easily defeat Macrovision.
Yeah, well. What did you expect? A few weeks ago the Fox correspondent in Lebanon said it was "widely believed" that Hezbollah officials were hiding in the Iranian embassy. When a correspondent on Fox says "widely believed", he means widely believed amongst Fox cameramen.
Of course, it turned out that no such person was hiding in Iran's embassy. As far as I know, no reputable news outlet ran with this story. Therefore, searching on "hezbollah iranian embassy" on Google gives you a pretty complete list of right wing warmongering disinformation sites which should not be taken seriously. The first outlet to report the truth -- that "Hezbollah leader not in Iran's embassy" -- is the People's Daily News of China.
How sad is it when a major news provider in the USA is peddling disinformation while the Chinese communist party's official news organ is reporting the straight scoop?
Riiiight. That's why today, during a live "breaking news" segment about a diverted commercial airliner, a man appeared on camera at Fox News and said "She's probably not an al Qaeda affiliate, probably not a terrorist, could just be a Ned Lamont supporter, we don't know."

I don't think audio/video sync was the point of the post. The point is that the action lags the input.
Yes it will. The BlackBerry OS loads a certificate revocation list from RIM and will stop running applications signed with revoked certs.
Also it's not trivial to get additional keys. The Blackberry signing certificate program is managed by humans and they catch on pretty quickly. If you even use the signing keys from more than one computer, their signature server will become upset and you'll probably get a phone call from RIM operations.
