Simply polishing brass on the Titanic. I bailed out of Sun stock awhile ago and haven't looked back. IMHO this just weighs them down further and will speed their journey to the bottom. Bon Voyage!
Too bad the existing theaters will scream bloody murder and try to kill it off due to the potential of lost revenues. They will have to sell a shitload of popcorn and sodas to make up for that....

ASTER imagery on the Terra satellite can generate stereo images from the band 3 nadir and rear looking sensors. It's not 2.5 m but it has been done by satellite before.
From what I have superficially seen they make broad sweeping generalisations and knee jerk statements about others who they do not take the time to understand.
Every time some little detail about Episode III is revealed, people is always looking for catastrophical flaws at first sight and flashbacking to episode I.
Exactly...what's next? Judging the credits at the end of the movie? Oh yeah and one more thing......IT'S A MOVIE FOR GOD'S SAKE
This is slightly offtopic from the Portland situation, but I have been trying to obtain SRTM (shuttle radar topography mission)data from the JPL for a project I am working on in Mexico. You can get the 1 arc second resolution data (approximately 30 m resolution) for the U.S. with no problem. However the best they will provide for outside of the U.S. is the 3 arc second data (approximately 90 m resolution). There is a "Memorandum of Understanding" between NASA and the NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) that the higher resolution data for outside of the U.S. is not to be released. http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/mou.html
Pardon my stupidity, but how are you protecting our national security by allowing the release of more detailed topographic data for the United States, while not allowing the release of the same types of data for outside of the U.S.? This past week I filed a FOIA request with the NGA. All I want is a small block of data from a small patch of Sonoran desert in northern Mexico. Maybe I will get it, but I am not holding my breath.
We even make documentaries about them and write it off to our children as irrefutable truth!
Can I get an amen on that one?!?! So many people have drunk the Kool-Aid on this asteriod impact killing the dinosaurs theory. Yes there was a huge impact, but as far as what sort of ecological changes might have occurred we don't know for sure. As a geologist I will be honest and tell you that most of us don't have a clue what happened millions and billions of years ago in Earth's history. We end up making a lot of assumptions and guesses on often incomplete data. That's what is so great about geology. It's one of the few arenas where bullshit sounds plausible...almost like politics.
We just ordered a bunch of 4X DVD burners here at work. If we buy it, it's obsolete.
I know what you mean. I just got a 8x writer last week for around $30. I know these companies are in it to make lots of money, but why all the baby steps 1x-2x-4x-8x-16x? (I know I just answered my own question) Why not wait until the engineers find the max burning speed and then release that drive. Save us all money, time, shelf, and land-fill space.
This article posting is timely since I am now entertaining a postdoc offer to leave a pretty good paying job in industry. Why am I considering leaving the corporate world? Idiots that why. Not to say that there are not idiots in academia. As a scientist working in industry you are paid for your expertise. The joke around our company is pick the best solution to a particular problem or issue and management will choose the exact opposite. At least in academia I do have some intellectual freedom and will be allowed to publish the research I pursue. Yes it will be less money. Yes the benefits are not as good. And yes I will have not have as good equipment and resources. For me it is primarily about a sense of more freedom at the sacrifice of financial security.

with that much data once you have a crash you won't remember half of the stuff you had anyway. Ignorance is bliss.
is a cassette tape?

Apple and Intel. The new company will be called Apoogtel, or Ingoople, or Super Google.

and go the f**k home then. Your ball is not entertaining anymore.
C'mon...you GOT to show us the video...please!?!?!?
Ebert said something good about a Star Wars movie. Looks like he is on the /. shit list now.

He wants his Trojan Horse back. For those who don't get it that is excatly what this ID theory is.

that's easy...rent-to-own....that's how she can afford top-notch technological products while subsisting on the government dole.
that no one on /. has figured out a way to blame this on Microsoft.
I have 25 shares of Enron I'll sell for $50. You can't beat a price like that!!
