    No; Strangely it reverses.

    I didn't RTA, but if you're interested in the debate about the plausability of AI, pick up a recent copy of Skeptic magazine (quarterly). The big bookstores will carry it. If you're a slashdot person, you're likely a Skeptic person. -shook

  4. Speaking of RFID on Hackers Clone E-Passport · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to set off security alarms in stores pretty much anywhere because of a RFID key for my condo. I found though, that keeping the RFID key right next to my cell (candybar) would negate the RFID signal, and I could get through stores with no alarm.

    You know what'd be neat? Some sort of thermal detection device that can somehow warn the user or slow down the processor to cool it down.

    It Does Exist.

    Its at Target stores in the U.S. Its a phone for kids. It has an icon of a male and female (like restrooms) for calling either mom or dad. There is also a green yes button and a red no button. Its small and looks pretty cool. If I had kids, they'd have this phone.

    Maybe for a few programs Discreet requres a tablet, but 3D Studio Max sure doesn't. Nor did it ever. This would be a great feature though to 3D studio for tweaking a render after it finishes (in program) and having those changes alter the actual materials in the scene.

    Its a million dollars per ticket for the trip, I doubt anybody's going to complain too much about phone charges.

  14. Re:Aren't baryons just normal matter? on Dark Matter Discovered · · Score: 1
    By comparison, the light from the Sun (photons, also not baryons) bounces off all the photons there, so by the time it actually reaches you it's about a million years old.

    Photon's can bounce off photons? I know you studied this in school, but are you sure?

    And that is definitely a parting line, just an artifact of the mold.

  17. Re:The real revenge of the Sith on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Look, my view of Star-Wars is that its really cool and I enjoyed every single movie, probably because i'm not such a die-hard fan. I got angry about the Han shooting second thing only because everybody else did. That said, the most die hard fan to the most passive fan will go see this movie, theres no stopping it. Its like gasoline. We hate to pay for it, know its a waste of money, but we neeed it.

  18. This was one of our projects on National Library Service Plans Next-Gen Audiobooks · · Score: 1

    At Kendall College of Art and Design (michigan) our semester project was sponosred by the Library of Congress to design a new digital talking book for the blind. My design involved a booklike metaphor to protect components such as buttons and batteries and could also angle the speaker toward the listener. The winning design came from another school though, and was actually booklike in nature. Here is some text about the unfortunately named "dook", sorry no other links or pictures could be found. It did look neat though when pictures were available.

    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS UNVEILS DIGITAL TALKING BOOK The Library of Congress has put the winning entry in its digital talking book contest on display--a hinged device that folds closed like a book and when open, reveals two thick "pages" encasing speakers flanked by a series of buttons that the user pushes to move forward (or backward) in the text, insert bookmarks, or search for a passage. The device, which will be available in three to four years, will replace the bulky plastic tape readers used for today's talking books. Over the next three years, the library plans to spend $75 million to convert about 30,000 titles, mostly standard works and best sellers, to the new technology. After some technical details of the new system are worked out, bids will be sought to manufacture the first 50,000 "dooks," as they're called. The library hopes to begin offering them to patrons sometime in 2008, and slowly phase out the tape players over the following 10 years. The dooks will be offered free to those who need them, just as the current tape players are. (AP 22 Oct 2002)
