It's just that there have been made so many "crappy" science fiction movies lately that people are becoming disenfranchised with the genre. Look at Armageddon, Mars Attacks, Independence Day, Starship Troopers, etc...to name a few. There are still good science fiction books out there being written I am sure. Also, I want to know if the decline in science fiction book readership is due also to other forms of entertainment that cry for our attention. Game consoles, computers, Tivos, satellite TV, cell phones, PDA's, internet, PC's, and so on. There is just more competing leisure devices. I didn't see the story publish numbers for other book genres. It only suggested that fantasy-type books like Harry Potter and the like were being purchased or read more. I also think it may be true that the really great science fiction writers are coming to an end. Now, let me introduce another idea. How about comic books. Wouldn't some of those be considered science fiction. Aren't they extrememly popular still? Or is this discussion only about novels? Anyways, I feel that Science Fiction is not dying per say. It may be losing focus right now, but it wil always be there as a genre to delight people who as the article said, "want toperform a mental excercise to see what happens if present society continues." That right there is a very useful tool.
give it to 'em straight up. Let them know exactly what the deal is, how you feel, why you're leaving, and why your productivity has been hampered. Let them know that you are leaving for a better work environment and you decided easily at the drop of a hat. The truth is always more powerful than some hammed-up thing. The more eloquently and succinctly you drive home your points, the more it will sink into your boss' head. The truth hurts. Let them know that the method of management is severly lacking, blah, blah,blah. Hey,,,,here's an idea...... rig up ALL the office printers to print out at the same time your act of quitting....in LARGE BOLD FONT. here's another one....sneak in really early into your boss' office and fill it full with helium balloons....have printed on the balloons: "I QUIT....'your name'"........maybe give your boss a "gift"...like a cigar, all wrapped up nice with a bow and your name on....."TO: BOSS"/ inside the package instead have a big note "I QUIT... happy birthday jackass" this would make him initially think you're trying to be a brown-noser or something
set a furby on his desk in front of him....this furby should have been taught what to say beforehand. The furby will speak your mind for you. Feel free to be uncouth as you want........./as much as you can before you quit....REALLY start slacking off and being a jerk and doing things wrong and messing things up...HAHA......../call in very serious like in a serious tone....say you are not coming to work because you are dead, or some other REALLY corny excuse........I could think of more, but I gotta get some sleep good luck...tell us what it was you actually did though
but....Bill Gates said 640 kb would be enough for everybody! yeah, but can you put linux on it?...and it STILL won't be enough to run DOOM3! Imagine a beewolf (spelling wrong on purpose) cluster of these! I want to see Natalie Portman using one...patricularly when she's naked and petrified, while I'm pouring hot grits down my pants...and watch 'em get sued into oblivion by the RIAA when they find out how many MP3's you can put on one...I'm not buying one until they support.ogg blah, blah b;ah!
Isn't it because SCSI drives are for high speeds and generate more heat? I may be out of the loop, but I really haven't heard of 10,000 RPM & 15,000 RPM drives for SATA or IDE. Maybe there are design considerations that prevent these higher performing drives from allowing more capacity. Or maybe the market demand does not warrant the manufacture of such units due to economics. In any event, I want to know if there is a 15,000 RPM SATA drive out there somewhere. I am curious!
From Red Chair software comes "Dudebox Explorer." Kinda stupid name, but it does oh so much more than the included crap for this player. You can stream files over the internet from the Dell player fer cryin' out loud. It does everything the included software should, but doesn't. The software is $25 for the full version, but WELL worth it. Red Chair makes enhanced software for many other MP3 players out there as well. Rio's player, the Ipod, & Nomad are all included. You can basically edit EVERYTHING on the MP3 player as if it were a hard drive in oyur system. You can edit ID3 tags, rearrange playlists, control play functions, and as I said before you can play songs over the internet on another computer. It generates a web page playlist on the fly to allow easier access. Just type in the address into the explorer bar. I used it to play music on my laptop when it was connected to my desktop through the LAN. Winamp streamed it like any old web radio station. SWEET! It makes the Dell Jukebox that much more worthwile to have. The software fits on a floppy so I can easily sneakernet the software to another computer to uses it as an external hard drive. It is STILL a far cry from plug n' play, but I don't do it that often anyways. http://www.redchairsoftware.com/
I once went to the mall and saw a lego show where they had all these cool things made. A statue of liberty model about 4-5 ft high stands out in my mind. 'Twas a wee little boy of about ten or eleven. It made my own lego creations back home seem like nothing. I was soo proud of my own lego creations until that day. I was thinking, maybe if I make some cooler stuff, these guys would let me work for them making this stuff. Yes, at one point in my childhood I wanted to build with legos as a career. Didn't every young boy at one point or another?
I saw a mac mod some time ago where the person put a small LCD screen where the original monitor would have been as well as the usual replacing of componenets. It was slick. He could then run a Mac emulator to get the full effect. So unless you were told so, or you got pretty close, you'd never know it really wasn't a mac. Truly macabre!
Also Todd Frye asked several times if management would give him 4k of memory to do it in, but they only allowed 2k of memory for cost considerations. Yet another reason Pac-Man sucked. It just didn't have enough rom to make it worth a hiil o' beans.
"Controllers called it the most significant 10 feet (3 meter) drive in history." ________________________________ Why is this so significant when the Mars Pathfinder Sojourner Rover did this during the 1997 Mars Exploration? Is it because this is actually being controlled by scientists remotely? Is the main difference simply because Pathfinder drove itself, using terrain analysis and obstacle avoidance, instead of having scientists drive it themselves? I don't quite understand how this is significant over what was previously achieved. Please help me to understand.
This is great. This is the type of stuff the human race was made for. Now I have reservations about the projected timeframe. Kennedy gave a decade for the initial moon landing. Back then a lot of stuff hadn't been figured out. A lot of mistakes have not yet been made. It took a decade jsut to get the technology up to snuff and to figure out the variables of manned space flight. Now in the 2000's we know all of that stuff. We have the technology in the bag. As far as a technological considerations are concerned, we can pull this off next year. The real issue I think would be the financial needs for such a mission today. Can enough support be drummed up. Can the US market cope with such expenditure? I think it can. If we can send Mars rovers in space to cavort around on a shoestring budget (relatively speaking of course), I think the advanced technology in this day and age, and the increased knowledge about spaceflight will allow us to perform the relatively minor feat with a much more decreased total cost than what was possible 30 years ago. The difference is in the goal of what will be accomplished. We will probably implement a manned Mars mission outpost. This in and of itself is vastly more technologically challenging than simply landing and walking around collecting stuff. However, I feel that the level of sophistication our technology has achieved thus far since then has made this endeavour rather trivial. The cost may be able to be absorped by private interests as well as federal budgets. If this country pulls together, I feel we can see this through without impeding on any other national budget concerns. I feel that the rising commercial interest in space we see these days may enable financial support for future space endeavours. Now this is not an IDEAL situation lest we have a McDonalds arch on Mars scarring the landscape, but we have already put a shiny flag on the Moon, so what is the difference. That is just the way we humans are. I am all for this and i see how it is very easy to obtain this goal. I am very optimistic and happy that we are returning to the Moon.
Now I can avoid the inevitable rush of slashdotters. However, the Internet Archives site seems to have enough to handle almost any load. I am a junkie on that site, and it never seems to slow down. I have prob half of all the Computer Chronicles episodes already. One of my favs is the one about the Intel 386. Just watching them oogle over this CPU, that is by now about 18 yrs or so old, is really funy. OOH it takes half a minute to spell check 100 words in a document with the 386. And it takes a couple minutes with the 286. DROOL! Just for comparison I did a spell check test on my Athlon XP 2000+. I told it to search and replace the word "the" with the word "mississippi" in the entire text book of Carl Sagan's "Contact". About 20,000 words or so. It took about 4 seconds. That is something that helps hit home how far computers have come in the last 20 years.
It will quit 20 days after having the new card mailed to you. Depending on the period of card it is, it will cease to function without the new one to replace it.
I have seen a few posts from folks not quite understanding how the "bits-on-end" approach works. Some were speculating that it might be holographic, multiple layers, or 3D and such. It is not at all that complicated as they are making it out to be. I heard it best described from Alan Shugart who started the company called Seagate. On an episode from "The Computer Chronicles" back in 1984 he described it as standing the magnetic particles on end to fit more in a given area, which is similar to how a cord of wood could fit into a given smaller area by standing them up on end instead of laying flat. So it really is simpler than you might imagine. Of course the implementation is anything but simple. This is especially evident by the fact that this idea was known as a way to increase storage density back in 1984, when even 200 million bits per square inch was not in a consumer product yet. It was merely in labs with thin film head technology poised to become the next big thing in a short time from that year. By the way, you can see old episodes of "The Computer Chronicles" at the Prelinger Archives collection. http://www.archive.org/movies/preling er.php. I believe Slashdot had a story about that a while ago. Good stuff! Great info can be had through those old episodes about computer history.
okay....I want to know how you have a dual monitor output with two video cards... I REALLY want to do this myself, but I am not sure how or IF it would work. What OS are you using?
Yet another news site or web page that has a very narrow width in which the words fit into. I mean seriously! They don't even have the remaining 80% of the page filled with ads or anything. It is COMPLETELY empty. WTF! Wait, no ads! Maybe that's a good thing!
If you are concerned about security, you might consider that even if you have WEP enabled with wireless, CAT5 will always be more resilient to eavsdropping on your network streams; simply because it hard to hack into CAT5 physically. Also, as another poster postulated, you have a dedicated 100mb throughput for each device or computer hooked into the LAN. With wireless, it's shared. CAT5 rocks for bandwidth! I can stream straight.VOB (DVD) files from my host computer to the living room computer and it plays just as if it were from a set-top, stand-alone DVD player; no skips or nothing. So you could have video playing over the LAN for one device in one room, and have plenty of bandwidth to spare for a couple of other devices in other rooms. Ultimately I guess it's how you plan to use it that determines the best implementation to use.
At first I thought it was 85 new ideas since the movie "Sneakers" came out and what spy tools we could use that they couldn't in that movie. THAT would have been interesting. Then I saw the 1917 date. DOH!
I didn't even finish reading all 85 ideas because it is rather exasperating to click through to each idea 85 freaking times to see them all. With such a short blurb on each one, you would think they could fit at least 10 on each page. Jeez! The streaming videos about FOrbes history are kinda intersting though.
Yes you are right. However, doesn't the principle of quantumn mechanics require some new form of thought structure that does NOT rely upon previously validated theories? Sure we may use the classic Newtonian theory structure in the partly formulating our Quantumn mechanical universe. But surely classical Newtonian physics alone did not allow us to manufacture semiconductors. It required a new train of thought. I was simply suggesting that a new train of thought needs to be entertained to adequately surmise a working Grand Unified Theory. By saying: "throwing other theories out the window", I meant that we need not rely upon previous schools of scientific thought per se. We need a radiclly new way of thinking about the universe. SOmething that has never been thought of before, or entertained from within any previous thoeries. A good example might be the superstring theory....although it still does rely upon other 'known' or "established' reservations about how the universe works, however unique it may seem.
