Its funny. My Motorola razr phone looks like it charges from a mini-USB port, but if you plug it into a generic usb power supply (like the one for my ipod) the phone reads "Unauthorized Charger". Bastards.
...feel bad about the cheap DVD player you bought -- not only did the people who put it together get paid slave wages, but the company that employed them didn't "waste" any money on pollution control.
The same is true about the expensive DVD player you just bought.
Also, "if you do the maths" typically increasing the size of the telescope increases the cost exponentially, not linearly. So if you can do the same task with multiple smaller telescopes you can save quite a number of millions of dollars. I beleive that Pan-STARRS funded a design study to evaluate the benefits of a single telescope versus multiple telescopes and the multiple telescope design proved to be better suited to their goals.
Take a look at optical Interferometry. Multiple telescopes are a lot more useful than you think.
Pan-STARRS by the way, is not an optical interferometrer, but is still is actually extremely well suited to having multiple telescopes. They are trying to survey the entire sky very quickly. With multiple telescopes you can look at different parts at the same time, thereby extending your field of view.
I'm pretty sure thats a typo. The tertiary is probably 0.5 meters. Plus typically having a third mirror is worse than only 2 since it is harder to maintain optical quality and alignment with three surfaces. Having a tertiary is also not at all unique. Though, a tertiary larger than your secondary probably is.
(But what do I know? The biggest telescope I've worked on only has a 2.4m primary)
Pan-STARRS is another interesting wide field survey telescope project currently under construction.
Apple never allowed borderless printing because they thought it was too complicated for Mac users
I don't think this has anything to do with Apple or OSX. I don't know how to make borderless prints with my borderless printer in XP. Personally I blame HP and don't beleive that feature really works as advertised.
I hate the forced adverts on DVD. what pisses me off even more is when they aren't even advertising products, they're just forcing me to watch their "copying DVDs is piracy and is the same as mugguing someone so don't do it" bullshit, on a DVD I've just fucking copied anyway.
The worst digital slr of the year is the Pentax K1000. I mean it doesn't even have USB! See our review here.
The worst desktop computer of the year is the super nintendo. I can't seem to get it to run Open Office and I have to fold my CD's in half just to get them in the ROM drive. See our review here.
The worst spread sheet application of the year is Windows Calculator. I see that you can congifure it to use Radians, but you can't even plot y=mx+b. How am I supposed to get my paper published in Science using diagrams created with a tool like that? See our review here.
Cisco makes these terific and robust managed routers, but the Netgear FS108 is a piece of junk in comparison. It only has 8 100MB ports. It doesn't have any built-in firewall. And, to top it all off, I still have to use cat5 ethernet cables. Can you image what the designers could have been thinking when they came up with that? See our review here.

What about EMS recombination?
Can someone write me a perl screen scrapper to re-register my phone indefinately?
I always thought the only difference between a 100k house and a 500k house is that the 500k house is in California.

Whoally shit, the tertiary really is 5.0 meters! Check this out: http://www.lsst.org/Images/images/optlayout.bmp
Would this do any good for those who study ISM, local stellar and nebular objects, etc?
Yes, yes, and yes. A survey telescope like this will benefit everyone on this planet interested in astronomy related studies.
8.4m & 3.4m & 5.0m mirrors.

NASA is a government work program. Its purpose it to provide thousands of jobs within the USA. Science and exploration are secondary goals.
Is CS really the same thing as IT?

My Motorola Starmax is still running.
Instead of trying to use 802.11g and multiple computers, why not just buy your own FM radio station and put a radio in each room?

Maybe I'm being too critical of this article.
Forced? According to zipzoomfly, they voluntarily changed their name to better reflect what they do.
This article on LinuxDevices discusses the possibility of installing Linux on the PIC.
No it doesn't. The article describes the PIC, but says nothing about Linux. Maybe you linked to the wrong article?
