They got the name because if you open then while in motion, the wind will rip the door off, taking you with it. Modern suicide doors are made so that they can only open when the front door is open, making them impossible to open while in motion.
Current color CCDs only measure one of the primary colors at each pixel. Once a picture is taken, the missing colors are 'guessed' by looking at the surrounding pixels that did capture that color. This process is really slow because each pixel is missing 2 colors.
The X3 actaully measures RGB at each pixel, giving much better quality, at a higher speed.
Sounds like the problem I had with my TNT and Win95. Card worked great in NT, but not in 95. Multiple re-installs of 95 did nothing. Finally traced the problem down to a mainboard that wasn't supplying the card with enough juice. The NT driver was so hobbled/slow that the problem never occurred.
TiVo works just fine without when a subscription runs out. You don't get any program info, and you have to manually setup record times, but it does work. Pausing live TV works just like before.
I'm not sure it will work if you NEVER have the subscription, but you could always just pay for 1 month.
I went without an update/subcription for a month when my modem died.:( Well worth $12.95 a month.
True white light LEDs do not exist. LEDs put off light at only a single wavelength, which makes white light, which is broad spectrum, impossible. "White" LEDs are actually created by combining multiple complementary color LEDs into one. It may look like one LED, but it is realy just multiple LEDs close together. This would not help the RGB issue at all. May as well just use the RGB LEDs used for all the other colors.
Adding more primary colors to the mix would help though.
If you just think about it, it is pretty clear we went to the moon. Most of the issues people find with the Apollo pictures would be easy to do correctly if it was a fake.
1) Etched crosshairs disappearing?
Why would anybody try to fake crosshairs? If you wanted to fake the moon landing, wouldn't you just film with cameras with etched lens? Do etched lens only work on the moon? I think not.
2) Shaddows don't appear to be cast in the same direction.
Filming with only 1 light source on the set would fix this problem. Where are the double shaddows if more then 1 light was used? I have not seen that picture yet.
3) Waving flag when the astronauts are planting it.
Any fake would take place inside. Why would a fan be allowed to blow the flag around? Where is the footage of the flag blowing when nobody is touching it?
If we didn't go to the moon, why didn't the Soviets call us on it? They had radar and experts watching our every move. One un-maned flight would have proven that we didn't go, at least not to the places we clamed to have. If they could have thrown that kind of mud in our faces, they would have.
CVS does handle locks. It is based off of RCS, which uses locks. The option wasn't removed, just made hard to find. Look at the admin command. Locks are requrired when you have concerent development on binary files, which can't be merged.
Useing locks on text files is normally counter-productive.
-l[rev]
Lock the revision with number rev. If a branch is given, lock the latest revision on that branch. If rev is omitted, lock the latest revision on the default branch. There can be no space between `-l' and its argument....
-L Set locking to strict. Strict locking means that the owner of an RCS file is not exempt from locking for checkin. For use with CVS, strict locking must be set; see the discussion under the `-l' option above.
The company's database examines CDs' tables of contents down to slices just one-seventy-fifth of a second long. Copies that look identical at that scale almost always come from the same master copy, the company says.

Nvidia cards do have open source 2d drivers for XFree, although I would be suprised if the GForce4 is supported yet. On my Geforce2, it just installs and works.
Nvidia is the only hardware Mfg that I know of that activily supports their hardware in Linux. Their Linux OpenGL drivers rock, even if they are closed source. I for one am very happy to see Nvidia put effort toward Linux. ATI and Maxtor may have OS GL drivers, but they suck.
Why should we have to write drivers to run their cards?
You can keep an system pretty up to date w/out upgrading. But not completely.
Up2Date will not change major versions, only bug fixes. ie: Kernel 2.4.X will stay 2.4.X, but not go to 2.6.X Gnome will stay V1.4.X.
RedCarpet, using the Ximian channel will probably update you to the next version of Gnome, but it will still not change your kernel, Glib to the latest version.
Upgrading is great, especilaly with Red Carpet. Most people don't care about upgrading the Kernel/Glib unless the new version has major benefits. A Redhat 6.X with Ximian will look/act pretty much like Redhat 7.X with Ximian.
Kernels are not to bad to upgrade yourself, but for Glib, you really need a new Distro.
Here in Missouri, we have a Nuclear plant that was only half built. Plans called for two plants to built, but only one was ever finished. The only rements of the second plant is a large pit where the second cooling tower was supposted to go.
This pit was to be filled in with slag from a coal plant, until it was learned that the slag would set off ever radiation sensor in the operational plant.
I don't know the levels, but Coal slag is lightly radioactive.
In the meantime, closed source efforts to port similarly complex API's succeed in much less time with far higher quality results (VM Ware anyone!).
VMWare imulates the Hardware, not the OS. Documented hardware is easier to implement then undocumented software.
FYI, The reason you can "expect to grab a piece of hardware and slap it in your box without hassles" is PCI not PNP. Plug and play is really only for ISA hardware, which still doesn't always PNP correctly. PCI assigns I/O based off of the slot the card is in. Since you can't have more then one card in one slot, conflict are a thing of the past.

Why do you think they call them "suicide doors"?
Not because of crash safety.
They got the name because if you open then while in motion, the wind will rip the door off, taking you with it. Modern suicide doors are made so that they can only open when the front door is open, making them impossible to open while in motion.

Agreeed. Somebody pulled 360 out of their ass. It always makes me laugh when people start referencing 360 as a basic unit of nature.
Circles would work much better with 400 degrees.
You didn't look very hard.

If it was this strong, would it not lift you as well, keeping the change in your pocket?
and suck change right out of your pocket.
That would pretty hard since US coins are all made out of non-magnetic metals.
I would say that lacking coordinate-based positioning is a feature. It is to easy to say "it works at 640x480 screw everybody else".
Better to tell the boss it is impossible then to tell him it is a stupid idea.

At least that is what members call IEEE.

Actually, the US version of the Reg is located across the pond, just like the normal Reg. The content is US based, not the server.

Thankfully ISA is now dead.
If she says yes, congrats.
An enum is just a primative aliased by a name.
This is avaliable in Java, and can be used in
a switch statment as long as they are static and final.
Java isn't missing enums, but the enum operator.
BTW, I think the enum operator is missing from java because enums are precompled to static final primatives. Java doesn't have a precompliler.
Hell, I have a tshirt. I think I might frame it. It sort of sums up the last 2 years.
