    but it's not enough time to move the data from a high resolution sensor to a CPU, then move the detected coordinates to the light emitter.

    not to mention the high end portable lasers (in the 1-$3,000 range) could probably cook the sensor once a photographer was able to find the unit (by setting the sensitivity low and the shutter speed high)

    not to mention the fact DSLR's (which most photojournalists would be using, as well as any serious amateur photographers) don't expose the CCD (or, CMOS in canon DSLR's) until the moment a picture is taken.

    perhapse, i have heard some true nightmare stories from the early days of EQ, anyone being able to loot any player's corpses, griefers buffing/healing mobs

    there is no conspiracy.

    trust me, with the financial shit the american auto makers are up to their necks in, if one had the technology to deploy a profitable and practical electric vehicle they would do it in a heartbeat with much fanfair.

    if they didn't, honda, toyota, or hyundai would do it and further stomp the american auto makers.

    the EV1 was a nightmare to maintain and GM would have been legally mandated to take care of battery disposal and spare parts, as well as maintaining custom service centers, you couldn't take one down to bubba's service center.

    back in the day Everquest would rot your corpse and everything on it if you didn't recover it within a week. this could be catastrophic for a high level character.

    no, even if the account logged on is different from the one being RD'd in you get kicked. it's a licensing issue

    you have to know, or a reasonable person should have been able to figure it out. crackhead selling "used" TV's out of the trunk of his car? yea you'll get busted buying that. buying from a consignment shop? not so much

  12. Re:Flawed Logic on Pope Advised Hawking Not to Study Origin of Universe · · Score: 1

    time cannot flow at different rates, or at any "rate" for that matter. rate is the measurement of something across time. time over time is always a constant 1. unless time stops entirely in which case it is undefined

    accidentally chopped the last part off.

    such an IT guild could build a niche both among large companies dealing with large, critical systems and small businesses lacking the resources to recruit and identify top end techs through normal employment channels.

  20. Re:Crap! on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1

    an IT union would be useless, as IT work is very dependant on the skill of the individual, a skilled tech can automate most of their job and earn their salary in 2 hours each day, or that same skilled tech may be on a job that requires a full8, 10 or 12 hour day depending on the type of work.

    an IT guild ensuring fair working conditions for members in exchange ensuring employers that guild members are proven to be skilled and reliable workers.

    mario Kart 64 DS can play online, it's not all the same maps but the feel is VERY similar to the original

  22. Re:Jumpers For Goalposts on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    Mario Kart 64 DS has a form of dynamic difficulty in it's item distribution, in the lead you get mostly simple defensive items, while in the back you get things like invincibility stars, blue shells, and bullet bill.

  23. Re:Catch 22 on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    adding "expansions" with new maps and weapons is stupid. Epic releases extra content for Unreal tournament for free, and of course there are legion of map makers making everything from intricate jungles to racetracks lined with giant cigarettes

  24. Re:Sucks to be the MPAA... on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    google CAN be used for illegal things just as a hammer can be used to break in, or to brain someone.

    the difference is while google may link to more illegal files, the vast majority of what google links are legal and the illegal parts are incidental, creaded due to the existance of illegal files on the internet. while a torrent site is USUALLY created to attract and sort illegal files. you can tell google to find .torrent files just as you can tell it to find any other type of file. but it won't sort your torrent files by category and encoding quality.

  25. Re:Sucks to be the MPAA... on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    contributory infringement depends on the purpose of the contributor. a search engine exists to find information for the user, and may have incidental infringements which fall under fair use. a torrent site exists primarilly to contribute to infringement
