I've taken apart my Tablet screen and it's just a normal LCD screen with a thin piece of glass in front (anti-glare treated) and a Wacom digitizer behind it. They don't manufacture the LCD special for it; they just sandwich it between tablet parts.
For Windows users, Speedfan lets you do this on nearly every desktop computer. For some reason Speedfan generally doesn't work with laptop computers, though.
I'm not sure I like the new SCOTUS acronym for the Supreme Court of the United States. I mean, what would we call a Supreme Court Ruling of the United States?
Even at that, you are assuming the brain can't process all of its information at once. What if the brain actually can do so? What is a memory lookup other than going through all memories to see what matches?
The way I've looked at memory is that the brain is currently "activating" the pathway associated with some subject, and all memories which concern the subject are linked with some strength to that pathway - memories which concern the subject but are not linked with that pathway are considered forgotten.
I suppose you could say the subset that you use to make a decision are those which have the strongest association with the pathway - but who knows?
Did I mention brainal psychology involves pulling a lot of things out of the ass?
Mister Anonymous, while I may or may not be an FBI shill (you decide!), you may be interested to know that you can go "back in time" on the internet using www.archive.org - it lets you see copies of past websites and you may be able to find your 'proof' links there.
Well the reason I went with my PIC-based IR receiver was that I had already built it several months ago, when I did not find any of the remote control solutions suitable for my purposes. When I created it back then, I re-used a custom scripting engine that I had made. All I did this time around was solder together a second IR/PIC combo unit (which took me a half hour) and I had a working remote receiver. Granted, I had to tweak the code to move from a least-squares recognition algorithm to a pulse-tolerance algorithm to improve reception, but that was really more fun than anything.
I'm actually really sad that I couldn't use Linux for it, because I had the time constraint of having to give it to my sister for Christmas, and that was not enough time for me to learn everything I'd need to do the equivalent in Linux.
This "bokeh" concept you described - in English it's known as the depth-of-field effect. Not as succinct as the Japanese, but it's directly interchangable.
In 1986, mathematician Joseph Keller, now an emeritus professor at Stanford, proved that one fair way to toss a coin is to throw it so that it spins perfectly around a horizontal axis through the coin's center. Such a perfect toss would require superhuman precision
Yeah right. All you need to do for a fair coin toss is hook your index finger, balance the coin on it, and use your thumb to flick up at the side of it. This sends the coin into the air spinning quickly end-over-end on an axis as horizontal as your hand was - and at a vertical angle perpendicular to it. You can measure your horizontal-ness by how far to the left or right your coin goes. And believe me, it's not at all difficult to get a perfect vertical toss.
That sure beats getting off of Allegra. Imagine it... 3 straight days of nothing but horrible, HORRIBLE severe itching that's never sated by scratching. Absolute torture that.
I've been off Allegra for 2 months now. I can finally live again!

You could build your own:

Made from a router using OpenWrt Linux and a cell phone data cable. Batteries not included.
I don't remember seeing that.
I don't understand why everyone feels it's necessary to misspell "atheist" by reversing the I and E.
Well-educated? Sure.

For cards that don't have that property, you use the open-source Macshift. Works on all Windows network adapters, wired or wireless.
I like where this is going...
On Windows, changing MACs is dangerously simple with the open-source commandline tool Macshift (http://macshift.natetrue.com)

Not some. All. Macshift for Windows XP can do it, and it works for damn near every network card. Wireless too. http://macshift.natetrue.com
I think what he meant by going back to college is that you have to learn something else, in a field that has more jobs for you.
It really seems like a bad fix to me.
Yeah, I'm a jerk. Let me go kill myself now.
My bad, must have been a rendering hiccup or something. I totally saw two copies of Slashback on the front page.
This has to be a record, for smallest time interval between dupes.
...but how am I expected to read Slashdot politics without a color scheme that makes my eyes want to throw up?

Methinks he already did something to that effect.... have you seen him lately?

If only my computer could recognize love...
RTFA, man. It's contactless, a camera system that only takes a photo of your fingerprint. No touching involved.

Think about it - if a gene causes the birth of only males, then it is not beneficial to the carp population.
What has Darwin taught us about non-beneficial genes again?
That's right. They eventually drop out of the gene pool.
Basic evolution, everybody.
