Thus, the NY Times having 300 Headlines stating "X Soldiers Killed in Iraq" is not indicative of bias...since it is just reporting facts.
Wrong! That's a perfect example of the liberal defeatist attitude that only focuses on our limited failures in Iraq instead of the good will missions going on daily!:-P
Hey, don't blame me I voted for Kodos
Man I never really bought the whole average/. user is a loner thing but instead of thinking the MPAA just wants to get one person to pay twice how about this:
When I go to the movies I go with my friends...I don't recall a single movie that I've seen in the cinima that I haven't been with atleast one other person. So let's do some basic econ, at the cinima they sell tickets. At the store they sell DVD's. Sales for the cinima is tickets * n, while sales at the store are DVDs * n, where n is the number of people buying.
Now here's the wild part...if they release the DVD at the same time as the cinima you can split the cost of the DVD with your friends by watching it in your living room and not have everyone pay 10 to see it! This is the reason they don't release it at the same time, they can either make money on a group of people shelling out 10 per ticket or they can make 20 on one DVD!
Yep there is an icon for work, home, main, mobile, fax and pager. You can reuse the icons if needed. Should be there when you enter the type of number it is unless they changed the Razr software much. Icon's are pretty much the same as they were on my old StarTac.
If they havn't changed the Razr software too much try this. Enter the phone book and press the menu key. select setup and scroll down to where it says view change all contacts to primary contacts. Primary contacts is Moto's way of saying default phone number, this will be the one displayed in the general list.
You can also sort the phone book by name, speed dial number, voice name and email.
I don't know what motorola phone you have but my Star Tac supported up to 5 different numbers for one person back in 2001 and my current v60 also has support for it.
Now I will say I liked the Star Tac menu for multiple phone numbers was where you scrolled through people's name then then scrolled over for the number. The current one is a little bit more of a pain where you scroll through names then select the name then scroll down through the alternate names.
In anycase yeah the motorola software isn't always the best but you can do all the basics with it.
IIRC from a presentation I was at back in the summer of 2001 at PPPL, all countries that particiate in International effort joinly own the technology that comes out of it
Fairly serious question...though I know it will sound a little like an attack...can you remove internet explorer or is it also as critical for XPE to function properly?
I'm a little late to this thread but this is definately not news...two years ago I was working for PPPL (www.pppl.gov) and we had 12 projectors tiled together to form one large display. Princeton U. main campus had 24 I believe. I've also worked on the Rutgers U. Engineering has one that tiles 9 together.
Here's how it works. The RU and the PPPL walls were powered by a linux cluster, one machine per projector with a high end graphics card in it (Yes I played Unreal Tournament on it...it was damn nice). How does Unreal work on it? At the time we were using a project called WireGL which intercepts OpenGL calls on the master machine (or whatever machine is running the program) then splits them up across the Myrinet network to the machine that will render the image on it's section of projector. This project was run out of Standford while the new version of the project is called Chromium is now located out of UVA. This projects also not only split up the image but allow for pixal overlap so that the image appears "seamless".
Yes I've also seen parts of the Matrix on the PPPL wall as a coworkers project was to write a parrallel MPG player for use on the wall, as this was a summer fellowship project he did not have much time to complete it and took a basic approach to it which was preprocess the mpg to split it into the configuration then using a modified mplayer I believe it was added networking code to syncronize the images, sound was not completed during the summer.
Princeton U's cluster was a windows cluster which needed custom video drivers to power their wall but otherwise it was the same principal (when I left Princeton U was supposed to be moving the cluster over to linux).
From skimming the questions in this thread I believe I've answer all but the DPI question...and that ends up being you do not have a pixalated display, infact at PPPL before we scaled up to 12 projects (the number of them when I left there atleast) the wall was a 7 Megapixal display and we found images taken with a 7 megapixal camara...they look simple stunning, in one image you were able to see finishing nails driven into a table cloth to keep it down.
Anyway I hope that answers everyone's technical questions.
I don't know about you but when I flew from NJ to CA they scanned my drivers license right after they took my ticket at the jetway...I'm fairly certain that the drivers license number is encoded on the card
I run slackware 9.1 on my desktop and laptop both without swap...I can run UT2k4 without running out of RAM
Normally KDE takes up around 90MB of ram....yes more than a system with 64 but enough to be able to do web serfing/email/office work without needing more than 128
APT-GET still has problems...otherwise would you care to explain to me why when trying to remove ncurses APT-GET came back at me saying it needed to also uninstall BASH and other critical system components?
(Oh also note that after APT-GETing all the ncurses stuff ncurses still did not want to work which is why I was trying to uninstall it)
We're playing with RFID in my lab, and from our initial feeling with it the wall through the rfid scanner will probably involve queues of people still. Since only one person can be read at a time. Think of the RFID highway toll plazas (Trust me I'm really familure with toll plazas I'm in NJ after all:-/) with heavy use you still get queue, also you need to gareente that all tags in your cart have been read. When tags are returned from a reader lists all tags and if you fire the reader again you'll get the same list.
Add to this that RFID can be blocked by tin foil and we have a whole slew of new problems for shoplifting. It's not so easy:-)
Hrm... I've used only two Sun sparc stations in the past...last month we were trying to power them on...both wouldn't post. On completely refused to obey the power button and the other seemed to have a dead video card.
They are rock solid though...took two of us to move them off the desk space they were occupying to trace the cabling
Yes but looking at the article and the tech sheet it looks like an omnidirectional antenna which means that you can not to Angle of Arrival. So you can only rely on the signal strength of the transmitter. Getting the AoA of the received signal is a very nice bonus. Which they do not claim to be using (as far as I can find. Please tell me if I'm wrong because this is an interesting topic to me)
I work in the mobile computing lab at Rutgers ( http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/dataman )
one of the projects I work on is indeed localization based. We were working on Berkeley's Mica MOTES and have an algorithm APS which can as the above poster stated use a relative coordianate system. However in reference to the article ranging based on signal strength is worthless (based on my own research and experience). Strength fluctuates too much to give a good equation for trianglulation. On the mote hardware the signal strength is a type decreasing amplitude sin function. So yes signal strength goes down as range increases but not cleanly. With a given strength you could be 5 feet, 13 feet or 35 feet away from the base station. This is probably not going to work very well in office use as metal also really screws with wireless signals (Anyone at MobiCom2003 see my APS demo there and wonder why the hell the board was proped up on coffee mugs? a metal band running around the table was carrying the radio signal around the damn table)
So in short I really doubt this will be a boon to wireless sys admins
The final ending with Sam going home was there because it was the ENDING of the series. The last paragraph of The Return of the King, sans appedi is "He drew a deep breather. 'Well, I'm back,' he said."
Wouldn't make much sense for Sam to say that at the docks.
Yes the end dragged, in the theater I was in people laughed when the fade out went to another scene. But that is how Tolkien wrote it and thus that is how Jackson ended it.
My university's Laboratory for Computer Science did a test between a Sun machine and a IBM compatable running linux in order to see if they could justify the cost of buying new Sun machines like they always have. IIRC the Sun machine cost five times more and performed three times worse than the IBM.
This was on running code from the profs (so research code), which is mainly what the machines would be used for.

I work on one of the sub projects DARPA funds on that. MIT and Vanderbuilt had a demo on them during the summer. Rutgers had a demo at MobiCom this year. All of it is military funded and no windows insite...I don't think you could convince MS to make an OS that fits in 128K of system RAM anymore
Slashdot Mirror
Well back in 1998 it was about $0.92/gal in New Jersey so my guess is it was developed in 2000.
Try pressing the speak phone button when call comes it...it guess what turns on the speaker phone and answers the call

IIRC from a friend's Sony MP3 player they also use AAC for their digital media players and I am sure they are DRMed also.
Now if the two are compatable then Sony's players will work with iTunes also.
