He can't pay for the bandwidth, he got a offer from the Muslim broadcaster in the Netherlands to show his movie on the condition they can see it beforehand (just like any other broadcaster demands for a non-live broadcast) and he'll get into a debate about the movie after showing it (he doesn't want to do that either)
So he is just a small child who doesn't want to show his movie to broadcasters before they broadcast it and then says nobody want to broadcast it.
I did some research on robots (the only one left is Da Vinci, having all the patents and bought out all competitors) in surgery as part of my Mechanical Engineering study, and the biggest drawbacks where:
- Lack of Haptic Feedback - No real proven procedural benefits - Expensive device (1.5 million euro's) - 150000 euro's each year for the service contract - Instruments 2000-5000 euro a piece, with a chip that only enables them to be used 10 times - Optics cost 700 euro to sterilize, takes a while and the hospital I was in only had 2 of them.
All in all it came down to the device being stashed in the hallway because it was huge and there was no place (a few OR's burned down in that hospital) and only 1 procedure a week.
It was used for aorta replacements (till one went completely wrong when they dropped a needle, and hit a clamp) and for prostate removal (which takes as much time with the robot as by hand with no clear benefits for the patients, at higher costs)
Oh and the 3D display was 50Hz (is improved now, but that was an older model) so I only toyed with it for a few minutes, you don't feel shit and you can pull a thread apart with no effort, which is quite hard till impossible with bare hands and very difficult with normal laparoscopic tools.

Adobe To Port AIR To Linux
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Why GTK? Adobe already uses QT for some of it's applications so the expertise to use that is there
I Think it would be 6.0*10^3 and 1.2*10^3 or something. maybe the press release just gives approximations, in a format that most people can understand, instead of scientifically correct.
CT has a high radiation burden en looks at dense structures (bone) and special contrast (blood etc)
MRI looks at H atoms.
And you can do loads of useful stuff with MRI like fMRI (brain activity). There is a lot of research going on, with the newest machines exceeding 7 Tesla fields, giving highly accurate pictures of softer tissues.
So while CT can be used in cases where fast results are needed, or when bloodflow and stuff are needed for medical conditions, you cannot use it to scan healthy individuals (find out how humans work), because it induces cancer (MRI DOESN'T!)
It's quite common for normal cars to get to that kind of mileage. Yet, it's a good step to force that kind of emissions. And $6700 isn't much as the dollar isn't worth that much any more, and maybe people will buy a car one size smaller, so extra benefits!
Slashdot Mirror
Pirates are cool!
In the Netherlands I can view them. Maybe because it's aired by Comedy Channel and not bought by another network
You learn to solve problems and search the tools necessary. Not a neat trick that you can repeat.
Open a textbook and look at the references, now go read all those papers.

Firefox 3 takes 3 or 4 clicks all at stupid ass locations that don't make sense, with the cancel buttons all over the place
Wingtips..... There is a lot to learn from birds, but you miss the point.
Why is Linux in that list?
I mostly use PDF for handing stuff in, always works... Why don't they do that?
I've seen several computers (in big outlets) sold with Star Office. I suppose I could find a computer with Openoffice.org in retail if I took the time
Maybe because having loose objects on a seat is dangerous? You can put a backpack on the ground...

As long it's a great distro (OpenSuse) I don't see any problem using it. Novel made Yast open source btw, something SUSE never did.
MIR?
Probably the most important is that you learn to know the limitations of your tools!
I Can download(!) MATLAB from blackboard, I only need to make a VPN connection to my university and I can use all it's features.
Middle click on link -> open link in new tab
Middle click anywhere else -> Open/search whatever you have in your clipboard(use that a lot)
I live 3 meters below sea-level atm. And SUV's suck and are dangerous to people outside the vehicle (so I DO CARE)

What's so special about free incoming calls and texts (SMS)? It's quite normal around here, I think nobody would buy paying for incoming calls here.
These laptops are more then capable to launch a space-shuttle (after all, they use computer from the 80's)
