Colour in red/blue anaglyphs is not very good.. anything in the scene that is red or blue gets a nasty flickery/strobey type effect to it. If carefully shot, however, it can still be viewed acceptably well.
To get the image for each eye back from a combined red/blue print, however, would involve somehow deblending the red and blue parts of the picture into seperate images, and this would really fuck up the colour.
I think the parent is referring to the one with the birds on a telephone wire and a cat with a fork. (Sorry, can't remember any more. It was on TechTV's Eyedrops, though)
In the whole series, 5 seasons and two movies there is exactly 1 inconsistancy (a matter who met who where and when).
Well, actually, there is at least one major inconsistency I can think of (Minbari society was described as having only two castes in the first season) and I'm sure there might be minor inconsistencies in each episode, but for the most part is is signifigantly more consistent than most shows. Probably due to JMS writing almost every show..
I would expect this would be somewhat difficult to do, unfortunately.
If the original source is still available (unlikely.. a porno film from the 70's?), then the footage from each of the two cameras might be around.
I don't think it is possible to convert a red/blue print, however, since the two are blended together on the film. If it were black and white, it might be possible (because there would only be two colours; take everything red and seperate it from everything blue), but I'm not so sure about colour.. maybe with some artefacting..
In Canada, at least, this features is only in newer cars...
It upsets some people who like to get themselves unstuck from a snowbank by shifting from reverse to drive while accelerating. Probably not healthy for the vehicle, I'm sure.:)
Anyway, my point is (the new) Battle Star Galactica is VERY well written. It passes the golden rules of good Space Opera (no plot holes, an imaginative but beliebable universe, character driven) with flying colours and bar Firefly is about the only decent (non-Japanese) scifi to appear in the last decade.
Well, personally, for me, it comes down to the "style" of browsing, which is a bit different in Opera. Until not too long ago, Opera didn't even HAVE the ability to open multiple windows -- everything is a tab.
Pop-up windows (the good sorts) are also tabs, as opposed to Firefox where they open in their own windows. Pressing CTRL-N opens a new tab, not a new window. Opera was designed from the ground up with the concept of everything being self-contained in the Opera window.
It also has a shitload of really neat mouse gestures, mouse shortcuts and keyboard shortcuts. For example, Holding the left mouse button and clicking the right is forward, opposite is backwards.
It is just a matter of opinion, I guess. Personally, I like Opera better. BTW, do you know if there is a Firefox extension to prevent stuff from opening in new windows? (opening as tabs instead, like Opera)
I know this was a joke.. but they really do exist.
In fact, there is one cleaning my pool right now. Depending on the design, it may or may not work very well -- mine uses the suction of the pump system to generate a "jerking motion", which moves the vacuum around the bottom. It, however, tends to go in predictable patterns (moving the hose around helps a bit) and stirs up a lot of the dirt before sucking it up.
Hard returns at the 80th column is a tried and true convention.. it works.. and it makes the file readable on ANYTHING that displays 80 columns.
If the files were not in plain ASCII, obviously this would not be a good idea, but many programs can't wrap plain ASCII properly (Internet Explorer, for one.)
Plenty of other open-source programs require you to sign over the copyright, especially when the program is maintained by an organization (Apache? Mozilla? Xfree? I don't know, but I think at least one of those three requires this).
How is this any different? Because they are also going to sell a proprietary version? The developers will sign the rights over to Ximian, so how is this any different from dual-licensing like MySQLs? I mean, Ximian will own the code..
Note that in both cases, liberal means "free from government interference."
Not so fast.. here in Canada the Liberals support government interference (illegality of owning foreign satellite dishes, purely public health care), the Conservatives are mostly against it.
There isn't much point in using those two terms.. they don't really mean anytihng.
Understand that almost all Universities and Colleges in Canada are public run..
Colleges aren't looked down upon like you say (perhaps because of the more sophisticated 3-year programs?)..
However, how do Americans afford post-secondary education? Even at good Canadian Universities like University of Waterloo, tuition is supposedly at most about CDN$7000/year..
Oh, thank you, State Attorney Generals for protecting me from an unwanted deluge of free music, movies, and software to which I do not wish to be exposed!
After all, it isn't like you have to intentionally download P2P software, or anything, to get it, right?
I'm Canadian. I believe it is very similar to in the US. I think the confusion here is over a mistake of terminology -- Here, at least, you get a College Diploma, or a University Degree.
College (here) is a 2 or 3 year program that provides you with specific skills to do a particular job. University is 4 year program that provides a more broad-based education (though still focuses on a specific field).
Also, for some reason, it seems to me that Americans refer to all post-secondary education as "college" a lot of the time.. I'm not sure I understand that..
I think the idea was for each disc to be in its own CD caddy..
But I had some reservations about the CD Caddy system.. (I have a 1X CD-ROM drive and an old Mac that use them) the disc simply lays bare in a plastic cartridge with a metal shutter on the bottom -- they can (and do) slide around easily, which I expect could cause scratches.
Do the Blu-Ray discs have better-designed caddies?
What guarantees accuracy? What guarantees high-quality results?
If we were to look at another project, say, CDDB, which stores meta-data for CDs (Title, Arist, Track Listing), something not at all unlike storing meta-data for books (bibliographies), you'll note that CDDBs entries are frequently inaccurate, mispelled and just plain wrong.
When it comes down to it, I don't really trust Random Joe to provide accurate trustworthy info. It's not like its like Wikipedia, or anything, which has constant peer review and a clear history.
If you access links to the headlines through RSS (Opera, AFAIK Mozilla sidebar), all the links point to slashdot.org/storyurl instead of section.slashdot.org/storyurl.
This results in Slashdot's usual poor, but passable green colour scheme.
That's a shame; I always thought the resource fork was incredibly useful and a part of what "Mac" was -- it is a lot less confusing to not have file extensions, too, even if resource forks don't really get along with non-Macs..

Christ, does the difference really matter? I can carry a 900mhz phone all around my property and it is an acre of land!

Doesn't mean that it should be that way, though..

If you want to run Windows XP in a virtual machine, appearantly you are expected to buy two copies of it because of the product activation.
Does this seem a little unreasonable to anyone else?
Hmm... what's going on here?

It is built into the recent versions of Mozilla/Firefox..
How it works, exactly, I am not sure, since I am not familiar with NTLM authentication. Google is your friend in this case.
