Maybe you should rethink it then.

Micro ATX and Linux?
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Why does it have to be installed on Micro ATX? I personally dont see you selling a lot of these, since (even if you dont want to hear this) the average Joe User is not going to be very receptive to a machine with Linux pre-installed. Make a cheap EXPANDABLE machine with Linux pre-installed, and you are going to appeal to a much larger base of users.
I wonder if also some sort of projector facing upward from below could be reflected laterally in 24 directions by a 24 sided mirror.
Wouldn't that get you the exact same image no matter where you looked at it? Might work if you were projecting a ball, but I thought the point was to see the back side of an image also.
There is a big market for calculators with large buttons
Yes, and big buttons are a "feature". My point was that you are going to pay the same amount for these cell phones that have a bunch of features than the plain jane ones. Hence, they will no longer make the plain jane phones, except when it has a needed feature (like big buttons). Casio's line of Plain Jane Calculators, notice the feature set.
as long as there is a market, there will be plain jane phones.
I don't think so. When the phones with the features are as cheap as the plain jane phones, then they will replace them. Take calculators nowadays. Most people could get by with add, subtract, divide, and multiply. But since it is so cheap, you've got square root, memory functions, tax functions etc all built in. and that costs no more than a regular calculator. There is a market for plain jane caluators, but you can't find them.
We dont have to fully understand the brain in order for this to work. It's a hack, trial and error. When something works, stick with it, if it doesnt work, try something else. We dont fully understand nuclear physics, but reactors work pretty well.
OK, so what are you going to do with that image once they give it to you? If you RTFA, you would see that "When the counterfeit deterrence system detects an attempt to access a currency image, it aborts the operation," So you still couldn't use it, official or not.
No, you used Italian Science as backup for your comment on American Science. But anyway:
You said "the difference between having a "theory" that the universe is made of cheese and observing something that looks like a galaxy in an unusual place and wanted to use a better telescope to check it."
There was no first telscope. It was all speculation. The article is a little ambiguous, it should say that they hadnt observed something that looks like a galaxy in the wrong place, in fact they hadnt observed anything yet. I quote another slashdotter who says it better than myself: "This has nothing to do with theory [is right or wrong]. It has to do with trying to take very deep spectra of a whole lot of very faint objects spread over a relatively large area of sky. It's really hard."
So the reason they were turned down is because the American Scientists didnt think it was possible to detect it, even if it was there.
Watch out for the headphones shaped like the ED21LP or the ED238. While they are very small and sound great, they hurt my ears after about 2 hours. The inside of my ears begin to hurt terribly. I can't comment on the EX71SL which is at the top of the linked page, and presumably the ones the poster is talking about, but I know that I had to switch to the G73LP for extended listening.
Enhanced Super Tagging is great. I used Musicmatch just to ID3 my huge collection. Don't use it anymore though. Yes, I know you're not supposed to verb nouns, but it's fun.
bikes produce more polution than most cars, surprisingly
Per gallon of gas they prodcue more pollution, but a typical small motorbike gets 75-110 mpg. They produce WAY less pollution per gallon than a car that gets 30 mpg.
Google will not be hurting the "small, no-name individual", they will be hurting the companies that do nothing but set up spam-filled door pages for products and services that have nothing to do with what you are searching for.
"It is projected that sales of all types of domestic robots (vacuum cleaning, lawn-mowing, window cleaning and other types) in the period 2003-2006 can reach some 638,000 units."
They have to get them to WORK first. I mean, have you ever actually seen what one of these does? My neighbor HAD a Robo-mower ($800), and the thing couldnt cut about 50% of the lawn becasue it couldn't navigate objects or reach a lot of places. He sold it on ebay for $340.
I watched a Roomba go around in the SAME CIRCLE over and over again in the Katy-Mills mall one day for about 10 mins. I asked the sales guy what the deal was, and he said it was just "fleshing out" the area. So I came back an hour later and it was still doing the same pattern. I asked him again; his answer: "Their might be something wrong with this one."
I have no doubt they can make some cool robots, but making them affordable and in the next 3 years? Not likely.
How about the computer asks the forger, er human some turing test questions? It could be a 30 minute test, and if it decides you are a human, then you can enter your 4 digit pin number.
So, not only am I being extorted, but I'm agreeing to be extorted at a future date as well! I think that Darl's SCO gig is going to end Real Soon Now. If these functions were implemented in Perl, they would be guaranteed to look different than the System V! Get a life, asshole. Shooting babies is funny.

I was one of the kids fined for downloading music off the internet,
Well I was one of the kids fined TWICE for downloading. And I have a girlfriend in Canada.

What part of the "Full Data Mirroring Option" is RAID 0?

CyKey uses a wirless connection to a PDA. Leave the PDA in your pocket, have the CyKey in one hand, and you are ready to Rock, I mean WALK!
Show me where they can be purchased online Casio?, Office Depot?, OfficeMax?
All of these have square root, memory, etc. Even the $3 ones.

Isn't this what DARPA is looking into? Why spend all this money before we learn from their experience?

"This overview contains more details and references about this discovery."
:)
Wouldnt an overview have less details?
No, you used Italian Science as backup for your comment on American Science. But anyway:

So the reason they were turned down is because the American Scientists didnt think it was possible to detect it, even if it was there.
So I can say I have a radical new theory that the universe is made of cheese, and they are supposed to give me time?
"So thats the state of American science"
Why do you single out American science? I guess in other countries, people never get turned down for telescope time?
They haven't actually found any life
That's good, because I'd be pissed if they had and I hadn't heard about it.

Off Topic, but here is a great presentation on how pachislot/pachinko works, if you dont know. Great Engrish too.

It was sweet to watch that robomower roll around the lawn though.
