wings like a hang glider... like the "Rogallo wing" which is a delta planform, not because of compressibility reasons pertinent to supersonic flight but because the delta shape allows easy pitch control without a tail. I suppose we can't PROVE that the beast didn't go mach 1+ but pro'lly it didn't....
How do I make my own UMD disks containing my home movies I shot with super-nifty keeno buttload expensive Sony video camera that I want to show grandma on our long car trip this summer on my cool new PSP? Once I find out how Sony is gonna' help me with this, I'll begin to commence to anticipate contemplating to start taking this seriously.
Tried it with a picture of Adolf Hitler, said it matched David Hasselhoff....then tried it with Margaret Thatcher and it matched Naomi Campbell...surely there is somebody with a sick sense of humor really making the matches. Though then again, I do hear Hasselhoff is popular in Europe.
Wireless networks in University environments are a job half done even when well done. That's because the half of the network in the hands of student, their network client, is relatively inaccessible to far too many students due to cost. I (among many others) have played a part as an employee in creating the University of Texas wireless network and, though I have no idea how accurate Intel's rankings are, I do think the UT wireless network is pretty good. But its capacity is underutilized because there are far fewer clients connecting than it can support. Partly this is due to lack of highly compelling academic need for wireless access so the logical conclusion of many students is not to pour money into a quickly obsolescent EXPENSIVE notebook computer. My point is this: there needs to be a relatively cheap ($500) useful wireless client, not necessarily a notebook computer. If there was an inexpensive PDA level-of-power client that had a good screen (say 800x600x16bit) and a semi-decent keyboard (not thumb-board) with a few hours of battery life (say 4 or so) then students might buy these in fairly large quantities. Maybe even enough people would have them to actually heavily utilize the existing wireless network. More importantly, wireless access would be so common that it would become painfully obvious that class instruction needs to use this technology effectively and it is justified for the faculty to invest time orienting teaching techniques toward it (appropriately, not just reflexive and perfunctory stuff just "'cause it's there"). If only some vendors would decide that a good screen on a PDA doesn't necessarily imply high end and high cost components top to bottom when you have good network support then maybe they would see the wisdom of building such a device. The network is built, now we need a way for them to come...then they will.
Don't be silly. Our mascot is a steer, we know how to do a roundup. And we branded the data, so we'll find those varmints that did this and look at the brand we put on and get every last one of those rustled digits back.
