In my city, the streets are in a 1-mile grid. The streets every 1 mile are major streets, and there are 1/2 mile streets that are collector roads. I'm not sure I'd want these at major intersections, but where a major street meets a collector road, it would work well. Set it up so that a large group of cars coming on the major road would turn the light green regardless, and then when there arent cars coming, the light would be able to cycle to the collector road and let everyone out.
If the documentary i saw on the discovery channel is to believed, Boeing and Lockeed-Martin built fighters, and then the army, navy, etc, picked the best performing unit (it ending up being the Lockeed-Martin one). If the army can do it, why cant NASA?
This is impressive, its also a 2MP camera as well. It can record video to CF (high speed), SD and microdrive. Damn, I want 10GB microdrives... 2+hrs in 8.5mbit/s MPEG2. Its a shame its not a HD-based HiDef camera... I'm sure it wont be too far away.
Even with the new megapixel phones, the picture quality is crapola. They need a 10-fold increase in the quality of the lens/optics before they start ramping to 4, 5 or 7MP.
It looks like the Radeon Xpress 200 could be the missing link that helps AMD crack Intel's dominance of the consumer and corporate desktop markets
No, what would crack intel's dominance would be Dell carrying AMD-based computers, which Dell has refused to do. AMD has the superior product in the Athlon 64 and its just a matter of getting IT managers to put faith in AMD and not go with Dell to buy their next big purchase.
Goal is Shock and Awe assault on offenders. Smack a hundred of them with lawsuits, and others would back off. At least in theory.
No, Shock and Awe would be Atty General Ashcroft arresting 20,000 people (mostly kids) for gross copyright infringement of music and movies. That would probably put an end to open piracy, but is probably not fesiable.
Image 100s of boxes on this service getting compromised and used in DDoS attacks... you think its bad now with 256-512kbit/s upstream, imagine 2Mbit/s upstream. Verizon needs to be on the lookout, watching for large spikes in upstream bandwidth, actively looking for DDoS activity.
"Farmers can leave their property to their children; why shouldn't songwriters be able to leave their songs to their children?"
Uh, perhaps because thats not what the original intent of copyright. Copyright is supposed to be for a limited time, and then to enter the public domain. Property is forever (well, 'til the world ends).
Plus, punitive damages should be paid to the state or federal govt (depending on juirisdiction) instead of the plaintiff, and some set amount (low or none) is deducted from the punitive damages for fees. Put the money into a fund depending on what its for (if it was for a car wreck, put it towards improving traffic conditions at the intersection, if it was for smoking or whatever, put it towards public health, etc).
Despite the fact we have groups tearing up voter registration forms, the actual voting system is the best in the nation. It records your vote in three ways. First, electronically, second it prints who you vote for in plain english on a piece of paper viewed by the voter, and once the voter reviews this paper and accepts the choices, the votes are encoded into a 2D barcode printed after the list of votes, this barcode contains the list of votes for which offices.
Apache is probably a lot more complex than they'll manage to comprehend and write good documentation. Maybe mediocre docs, perhaps better than nothing, but nothing earthshattering.
is not just the total amount of heat they put out, but the fact that they put out that much heat over an area of about one square centimeter (on the 90nm process at least). As the physical piece of silicon shrinks, the thermal density increases. More transistors switching on and off in a smaller area, and the drop in Vcc isnt enough to counteract the increase in density (we were at 1.8v or so with the 180nm process, and now at 90nm, we're at 1.4v or so - some chips dynamically change voltage and multiplier based on demand). I'm not sure this will do a whole lot of good if you just try to disapate the heat from the processor and the heat introducted by the peltier effect over the same square centimeter. You'd need to disapate the heat over a much larger area, say 10 sq cm. They you can stay in the realm of air-cooling instead of watercooling.
One of the cons for the Echostar unit is that it can only record 25 hrs of HD content, but that problem isnt mentioned anywhere on the HD DirecTV/Tivo box, even though its got the same sized hard drive. The only difference is that you can go to weaknees and upgrade your HD DirecTV/Tivo and get 70+ hours of HD recording.
MCE 2k5 can support 3 tuners, including HD tuners. The problem is that the only tuners out there are ones that get the signals over-the-air. IE not your HD digital cable or satellite box (and no it doesnt support 5c/hdcp over firewire, but there are ways to set that up with WinXP and some third party software).

If we could only get that kind of voice on the issues of copyright and patents!!
Include Spice, Playboy, and TEN.

isonews has had a TV rip section dating all the way back to 2001 - back when the only HQ stuff was Simpsons, Futurama and Family Guy.

Inside a few Dell PowerEdge servers. Of course Dell gets first dibs since they're the only major manufacturer who is Intel-only...
Intel® Celeron® processor, 325J, 2.53GHz, 256KB Cache, 533MHz FSB
Intel® Pentium®4 processor, 520, 2.8GHz, 1MB Cache, 800MHz FSB [add $99]
Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 3.4GHz,1MB Cache,800MHz FSB, EM64T [add $249]
Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 3.6GHz,1MB Cache,800MHz FSB, EM64T [add $349]
If porn is legal, and violent R-rated movies are legal, then whats the problem with GTA?
I find it funny that the website did not render correctly in FF 1.0.
I've had a few cases with FF where popups get through. But still its 99% effective now.
Considering the tactics I'm planning on employing this season, I'll prolly fall into the 20%... (buy/rebuy)

10Gb/s = 1TB transfered in 800 seconds, or 13 minutes 20 seconds. 10Gb/s per user is far far greater than 10Gb aggrigate.

Its only good for big projects though. Stuff like Open Office is a good place to start, but I dont see them diving into apache anytime soon...

considering I overclocked my CPU some more since my room is getting colder now. It was down to 70F, so I turn the CPU up some more..
