I remember when I was a teenager I'd watch @discovery.ca on the Discovery channel. And it was always full of science and cool stuff. But it also was full of information and I found it facinating.
Then they were bought by CTV and the format changed and the show as renamed Daily Planet. Gill Deacon left and was replaced with a blonde, who was then replaced with someone slightly less dumb.
I still watch the show from time to time, but only when I'm bored. Where as with the previous format which always felt like it had real science and understanding, I'd watch for my enjoyment every chance I got.
Now I don't watch any TV science shows... but thanks to CBC I still get my weekly science, via Quirks and Quarks' podcast.
Another complaint which I wont go into... TLC... wtf happened.
Sulphur cycle models now take about 1200 hours on my 2.4 GHz X2* to complete. Trickles are sent about every 7-8 hours I think. So you get credit every 7-8 hours, and bits of the results are uploaded. You can follow along on the graphs they provide.
I'm running a Spinup test model, they want 200 simulated years. It's taken 1891 hours for 68.69%. You'll never get this model though, so you don't have to worry about this much computing time.
That's very odd of them.
I do know that they have, or were expecting to get a G5 for testing. But I'm not sure if they have yet. So Mac's don't get as much love as they probably should. But they are trying. I have no idea what's going to happen with the x86 Macs though.
Those red lights aren't trying to sell you a product, they're for yours, mine and everyone elses safety.
Since the music industry is trying to get us to buy their product, they should be jumping through hoops to make it as easy as possible.
Damn, I've been wanting stuff on their site for a while, like one of their screens. Not that them being Canadian would have made it much more affordable for me.
You guys are right. The thought just didn't occur to me at the time. Lossless would definately be the way. Not sure which format I'd choose out of the bunch, but it would HAVE TO HAVE meta-data.

That's an interesting way to put it. I like that.

* One model per core
Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't realize they were seperate. I thought the BBC were just pimping CPDN.

Oh ok. Thanks!
I thought Philips made the CD
What an interesting government website. "...and don't even think about applying if you've got money laundering on your mind."

1984 ref?
Oh good, I'm not the only one. I almost fell out of my chair and choked on the starburst I was eating.
Didn't he get shot out of a volcano once, they were fighting in it.. and oh god I've given away that I watched the show.
*hides*
The iRiver H120 is only $20-30 more than the 20 gig iPod, I'd spend the $20-30 for the extras.
Hard-reset? hmm... I smell Windows.....
And I'll bet after busting into this cave they ruined the whole ecosystem and introduced all kinds of things they shouldn't have.
No that's just Bush's title.
It'd be closer to say 300 bucks. That monitor you linked to is 299.95.
but RAM is volotile... CF cards aren't. I'd hate to lose power and lose my hard disk.

the company I work for relies on IBM and our software doesn't work already. What harm could SP2 do that XP doesn't already do.

Oh right, I remember that now. I keep seeing those cards available all over the place.
I missed SM, didn't see that it was smaller, my bad.
On that note, I didn't realize CompactFlash supported up to 128 GB.
And Sony's original MemoryStick pales in comparison to all of these formats. 256 MB compared to 4 GB. Yeah... Yes I know they have MSPro but nm that.
