I messed up the 'quote' delination by putting open-brackets instead of close brackets. Sorry for the jibberish post.
This is the Visual Cortex adding motion blur to perceived imagery so that rather than seeing everything in great detail, we are still able to perceive the effect of motion and direction as we ride by. The imagery is smoothly flowing from one point to the next and there are no jumps or flickering to be seen. If the eye wasn't to add this motion blur, we would get to see all of the details still but the illusion of moving imagery would be lost on us, with the brick wall sort of fading in and out to different points. It's pretty simple to test this.
>>This is idiotically wrong. This entire paragraph is predicated on the false assumption that our eye somehow has a "framerate" itself.
It does. It's about 7000 FPS (+ or - for each individual).
The way bio-psychs tested this is by taking a high-speed controllable projecter that ranged from 30FPS to 20000FPS. Subjects were lead into the totally black room with a mic. Then they were directed to look at the projecter screen by a red dot. Once the pattern started, the projecter took a spread of 3 seconds and at 1 frame put a number on screen. The average FPS for the subjects NOT to notice the number was about 7000FPS.
>>>>(Either that, or the false assumption that our eye is basically a CCD with infinite discrimination, also wrong.) It does not. Our eye is fully analog.
You just cant say that. The ion channels are directly countable and lead to a time based binary system like that of morse code. Not even biologists are sure about that.
>>>>>(Go figure.) You get motion blur because the nerves and the chemical receptors can only react so quickly, and because nerves fire as light accumlates on the receptors. Since the receptors are moving quickly relative to the transmitting object, light rays from a given point are smeared across several cones/rods before the full processing of the image can take place. (Now, I'm simplifying because this isn't the place for a textbook on vision, but at least I know I'm simplifying.)
It's not that the rods/cones (rods are black-white, cones are color) react quickly, it's the chemical breakdown takes a while. Take the simple theater test. Go from sunny outside to a theater room. You pretty much cant see anything. It takes about 15 minutes to FULLY 'charge up' the rods back to full usage. But when you walk out of that sucky movie;-) , your eyes hurt (due to rapid depletion of rods) and your cones take effect very rapidly.
Other side effects of bright light is that you cannot see absolute 'white' or 'black'. Similar with dark rooms, you cannot easily see color, as it takes high energy photons to allow you to see it.
>>>>>In fact, there's nothing the visual cortex could do to remove the motion blur coming from our eyes, because the motion blur causes actual information loss! (It can (and does) do some reconstruction, but you can't fill in details that don't exist.)

Hmm, why should business care? If you ANYTHING for money/objects/services, you're breaking FCC rules. The ham licenses were created for hobbists and hobbists alone.
Then explain why OJ Simpson was found GUILTY after his criminal hearing that concluded (probably badly) that he was "Not Guilty".
That should have been caught under Double Jeopardy clause of the Bill of Rights. Now's the time to go re-read your briefs and summarys from the Supreme Court about civil and criminal court seperation.
Then you _JUST_ dont know what DRM really is. chmod as root is power over your own computer. In other words, you're the master.
Digital Restriction management technologies put ANOTHER users 'ownership' forcefully over yours. The simply can make the computer do stuff for them that YOU DONT WANT DONE.
You're right in what features Linux networking syssection has. The features scale up to what Packeteer has (20000$ piece of equip).
Still the statements about the PCI architecture doesnt have enough bandwidth is 100% correct. Even 64Bit PCI cannot handle more than 2 or 3 of those cards. There's just not enough PCI bandwidth to keep a gigabit card buffers full.
There's this really neat feature that IE has (whie no other browser has) is the ability to save a webpage in 1 file. It puts a base64 attachments before the tag, and self-links all the links.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. on his sourceforge site, there's some 45 MB tar.gz file there. Evidently his project is something. What that something is, I'm sure as hell ain't wasting a 45 MB on it.
But since I'm not going to see what it is, I can't say for sure it's garbage. I said that HIS site led me to believe that it probably is garbage.
And yes, I did give him the benefit of the doubt, as it doesnt _look_ auto-generated. I figured I'd just point out why "His article wasnt accepted". He deserved that much, if anything.
Hmmmm. A computer running me eh.. That's a nasty mental picture.
I see the FORMER bofh running from a weird rolling server case that opens and shuts the tape drive flap while saying over the PC speaker "THATS THE LAST TIME YOU RM -RF ME!!!" while firing raid, ZIP, cd's, and floppies at high speeds. You'd also notice the interns being dragged by the dangling ethernet cable. Oh, and add the MAC frownly face on the screen.
Well first, your site has that spark of a "I'm a Tesla Alien Abduction Genius Who Will Solve Everythin gWith Cold-Fusion" genius. That frankly make me seriously consider whether I should even click on the next link.
Then you have (DONATE HERE) banners that (NO HERE) make your site really (GIMMEE) hard to read. The more massive projects dont beg like that. If you cant/wont support it, that's what the GPL was for.
And lastly, the style presented reminds me of the magazine, OMNI. There's that feel of spoofery/hokey kind of "I'm code-God" that just makes me want to click that nice xkill on that window.
It may be a good project, but the presentation really sucks. Even the basic Black text on white with simple images looks cleaner/better than that.

Getting govt laws stopping spam is like getting censorship laws. And when the govt OKs them, they probably wont ever come off.
Course the Govt has to define SPAM. Wonder how 'right' the definition is, and who the exemptions to the law are?

Somebody at the college was throwing out a Sparc 10 and it was left at least 2 nights out. Both nights it rained.
I found it, cleaned as much water I could out of it, and then sealed it in a de-humidifing bag (with those silica bags) for 4 days.
To this day, it's a great dhcp/mrtg box. With a 9gig 50pin scsi to boot.
