I think it's cynicism combined with apathy that's gonna get us. There was only one man in our history who truly looked at the highest position of power as an opportunity to serve: George Washington. Everyone else since has proven that those who can get the office should by no means have it. Our system, as I understand it, is based on the notion that our collective cynical and hopefully well informed and mostly rational voices can temper the lust for power, but we have to keep talking to the right people and, yeah, keep the hope that things will get better.
you need to also look at the Gross State Product. This is basically a measure of the size and relative health of the states economy. California is number 1 in the US and number 8 in the World.
A diffraction grating is not at all the same as a reflecting telescope.
But how do the gratings help? I thought the problem was the polarization of light? Wouldn't the gratings be extremely narrow band filters?
unlikey for three reasons
1.) rainbow effect only exists in ("slow") single chip DLP's because, only one color is on at any given time.
2.) the mirrors don't spin and reflect per say, they bend to focus.
3.) the switching time is fast- 600fps fast- so even if they're were rainbows which they're shouldn't be, you wouldn't be able to see them because it is so far above the flicker fusion threshhold.
University of Pennsylvania is going all wireless as well. Wireless is increasingly becoming the only method of access especially in the really old and really new buildings. The reason? Upgradeability and cost. It's simply easier and cheaper to increase your bandwidth and available points of access when you don't have to pull wire, lay wire, add jacks, etc. The idea is that it is possible to create a reliable wireless network given improved hardware and software. Whether it's true or not...
you can't expect people to participate if you treat them like they don't matter if they're new. These problems are old and are just now being addressed.

This is interesting. can you reccomend a book or two with one of these types explanations? Thank you.
grep maybe?
which is why many professional occupations don't pay overtime anymore.
You're a hardware engineer, aren't you. :)
So the real question is who should get screwed by the Pareto principle?
festival! festival! festival!
That'll happen. Look up the story of how we (Americans) got the Miranda warnings. Ernesto Miranda was a very, um, colorful guy.
TOS was produced by Desilu which was bought by Paramount which became Viacom which became CBS.
Kirk does have flaws. He just laughs it off every episode... Just like every other Trek Captain.
citation?
um, engineers? contractor? Biochemists? NSA consultants?

that's the way it's supposed to work. You are fine American. Not being sarcastic.
A ton of apple pies!
Wow! Now that's insightful and really ties everything together. Mod Parent UP!
but the splitting didn't happen at Tiananmen.
what does Freddie Mercury have to do with Uranus?

it's about as bad Dylan Hunt :-)
This sounds a whole lot like "Gene Roddenberry's" Andromeda. Please try not to make this suck, guys.
His brother John must be pissed at him.
