Not really. In my family we have about 4 digital cameras. We take ALOT of photos. Most of those then get dumped onto the drives of my fileserver. The drive is currently storing about 90 Gig of Photos (none of which are p0rn) and it's only got ~12 months worth of pictures. It won't take me lone to fill the 120 GIG disk (and the second disk that it mirrors to weekly with an rsync type application). I could see some people (like pro photographers, amature film makers, and others like them) needed 1 TB of storage and not wanting to use CD/DVD/Tape.
Yeah, but if my odomoter is low and says I went 254 since my last fill up and I really went 280 and I just put in 23.7 Gallons of fuel I get 10.7 vs 11.8. You could see changes in your fuel usage, however you wouldn't KNOW you MPG any more accuratly. The more fuel efficient the car is the wider that range gets, I used that becuase that's my numbers from the gas station yesterday.
I appologize. I mis-understood your post when I read it. I had taken that to mean that you thought that $2000 was too high, not too low. I was just giving my project as an example because it's what I know not to just mention it. I also am sorry that I got too agressive. I should remember not to make posts when i'm having a bad day. Again I am sorry for the way I came off.
Ok, that's like's like saying the US over paid for Spirit and Opertunity! You cheap a** little High School science Fair project is NOT anything like a REAL robot. My $3000 -$5000 seinor design project which was a reconisance drone with simular capibilities to that linked in the article is still not in that ball park. REAL robotics work of the kind they are talking about is not cheap because it isn't specilized. Ask you prioject to pick up golf balls. How about tennis balls? How about bowling balls? and those are all the same activity. Now ask it to roll the bowlig ball down the lane and get a strike! Real multi-functial robotocs is VERY difficult and expensive.
Given the current state one has to wonder it there are even enough people on board to keep it running....seems to be more problems cropping up then getting fixed......
1) Because the suits are IN the airlock and cannot be moved through the station to the other air lock.
2) The russian airlock is not an air-recycling airlock, so yeah the suit DOES interface with the airlock.
Wrong, but thanks for trying. The would have prefered to use the American Airlock (closer to the problem) and suits (more flexible, better gloves, more safeguards) however the american suits are broken (2/3 have heating/cooling problems). The rule of when to use which has always been "Which is closer to where we need to be?". Howver with the American suits broken (and not repariable with out new parts) the question is "Can we make the Russian parts suit/airlock work for this EVA?".
You joke, but SBC (my local phone provider) DOES call at least once a week to try and sell me long distance, S. TV, DSL, or get me to have "features" on my phone. I have told them NO way too often.
However if he HAD chosen to veto it, they would have needed to revote. In a revote (to block the veto) how many Democrats would have opposed the president? It's a vary dangerous (politacally speaking) to make. He might very well have gotten it veto'ed.
Pro Logic IIx is the first and only technology to process any native stereo or 5.1 signal into a 6.1- or 7.1- channel output, creating a seamless, natural surround soundfield that immerses you in the entertainment experience..
So what point, precisely, do I stop taking you seriously?
That's only 1/2 the story. The sound is also diectional, meaning that a sound from the FL can "immitate" a sound from the RL, but not as well as if you have a RL speaker, and while it's doing the job of 2 speakers (a RL and a FL) it has some intereaction of those signals (which can lead to destructive interference). If you want to see want I mean get rid of 3 of you speakers and let your bose system "reset" using the mic. Then watch T3. You will see that the rear sounds arn't as good as with the 5 speaker set up. Adding 7 gives you that much more distinction between the side and rear signals.
I wouldn't arguwe with that, but i will say that to me it was a VERY large difference from 7.1 to 5.1 and I would expect that many people might hear that difference to some degree.
Yeah, but if you have a reciever with a good DSP it can "fill in" and you can hear Trinity run from the FR speaker to the F to the FL to the L to the RL. It's also amazing how even w/ 2 channel input (radio) a good DSP can move the singer to 70% the center/F speakers and 30% everywhere else and do the inverse on the "music" and give you a very emersive enviroment from 2 channel. That's why many of the 7.1 recievers are $$ more then the 5.1, they have DSPs to do cool things and acutally use all 7 of the speakers.
The difference between 5.1 and 7.1 is VERY noticable, especially in the scene where Trinity kicks the Cop's Asses. You can HEAR her run around the walls......:)
I had a friend who got around this with a Copy Protected CD. He took it back, said "Hey this won't play correctly in my Car's mp3-cd player" they exchanded if for the same title. Is still wouldn't play (because of the copy protection) so he once again exchanged it. After the 4th exchanges they just gave him store credit for the original product because he kept exchainging it. In his veiw it was "defective" if it would not play in his player and therefor was excersizing his rights under the terms of the sale to exchange it for one that was hopefully not defective. I'm not sure that this tactic would work on the CDs that play fine but just can't be copied (because that's not defective) but it was entertaining to see how many times best buy would give him new copies of that CD, each time passing the cost of the "defective" disk onto the manufacturer.
2. IANAL, but copyright law has always allowed one copy for backup purposes.
Yeah but if it's copy protected the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent the copy protection to make your back up. The two laws, which not directly contradicting each other, make it illegal for you to make the backup that would be legal for you to have. This is just one of the ways that "Fair Use" has been erroded in recent years. This is why DVDXCOPY, which is supposed to make it possible for you to use your fair use rights, was ruled illegal.
Your NEVER supposed to let the blue smoke out of the electronic components, that's what makes them run! You know how hard it is to get that smoke in there in the fist place?!?!
And as I recently ran into, if the raid card dies, you need a compatiable card to read those disks. Sometimes it can be difficult (and take a day or two) to get a new raid card and durring that time your data is not avaliable. I use the multi-PC approach with scripts that keep them up-to-date (no one of the 3 drives is ever more then 24 hours out of date and I can force a sync sooner if I need to). The only down side is that if there is a significat amout of changes then the network get get a little bogged down durining the moves.

The prosecutor is not going for manslaughter, the prosecutor is going for murder 2. Hence why this is an interesting article/conversation/case.

This depends on the odometer/speedometer being accurate. Most are only accurate to within 10%.

Ok, thanks for THAT image!

No, No, No....Richard Nixon's voice.....we've got tons of recordings.
