Current resolutions for digital cinema are not as good as good HD TV
I've chatted to a couple of my customers about this (one an experienced projectionist and the other an electrician who maintains projection systems) and both agree that the digital cinemas have much more potential than the classic 35mm systems... however... until the people responsible for distributing the films learn to do so properly (when dealing with digital) then 35mm will always seem better.
Essentially when you are wanting to project an image onto a screen that is 6m tall, then compression is your enemy not for friend.
A bit of clarification please, I'm not an astronimer and I work in metric, but what do you mean when you say the moon's blind spot is 0.5" across? I read that as half an inch, it that correct and if so, half an inch in what?
Why not, hey why not make a beowulf cluster out of it, 9 stands for 9 computers. Make them out of P4s and you won't even need to light it, just let the CPUs spread the glow of the warmth. Perfect gift for the holidays for our brothers of the jewish faith.
Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas and for those who happen to be on the road this year, remember that it only takes one lose nut in a car to crash it... so keep you head screwed on straight! {grumble grumble tourists not knowing road rules grumble grumble}
I have customers that would love to be able to leave MS behind for good. But there always seams to be one key thing stopping them. Being small companies (no more than 15 to 20 seats) nearly all they do their own accounting and I am yet to find any linux-based and readily available professional, multi-user accounting packages of the calibure of MYOB. Now I know that MYOB is not the best out there, but speaking from personal experience... even a monkey with no accounting knowledge can use it to keep accurate books without stuffing things up.
Enlighten me please if there is something out there.
I don't know about the flax where you come from, but native NZ flax gum/oil will give you a bad case of the trots. The early Maoris used it as a laxitive.
I don't know about that, I would thinkg that heat is a good thing in my part of the world at the moment. I mean surely it isn't meant to SNOW during SUMMER when it is ususally SUNNY and WARM!
I can't say much about the states as I live in the southern hemisphere, but anyone in who tries to run a Computer company in NZ would probably be use to it. I find I regularly recieve emails writen in pidgeon english from wholesalers for who their primary language is Manderin.
Most top wholesalers though actually hire account managers who have excellent english skills. And speaking from experience, it is a lot easier to buy from someone who understands you.
To comprehend how this works, you first need to be able to comprehend the differences between the body, the soul and the spirit, three distincly different parts that make up a human.
Sorry to burst your bubble a bit, but one of the condititions is that the language is based on BASIC (which they came up with anyway). So C, C++, Java et al are in the clear, but what about languages like Perl? I've only glanced at Perl, but doesn't that have something similar?
Thank you, it is good to see someone here actually sees what is happening. General rule of thumb, if you see it on the news, then it is only a small part of a much bigger story.
why wouldn't they make the tax a function of vehicle weight AND mileage driven?
I'm not sure about the states, but here in New Zealand most heavy vehicles run on desiel rather than standard petrol. Why is this significant? Well if you buy petrol you are also buying road tax, when you are buying desiel, you are not buying road tax. Instead owners of desiel vehicles must buy "mileage" (which is odd in that we haven't used miles measurement for decades) which is the road tax they didn't get chared at the petrol pump.
Boring lesson aside, why not adopt a similar system where you pay for you gas at the pump (along with whatever your equivilent of GST is) and buy "milage" seperatly, with each type of vehicle having to pay a different rate.
I live in CA and am frankly sick of all the car-related restrictions that we have to abide by!
Sure I live in another country so don't know your full story there but seriously, what about public transport or even (god forbid) walking or cycling?
I would have to say though that such a change in the taxing process would have two sides. The side where the wear and tear of the road is covered by those who use it the most, and the side where we are no longer encouraged to save our lungs by using energy efficient cars.

Damn, that means I missed the lava scene. Oh well obviously wasn't worth watching.
Whenever I need to I guess. I own a computer shop so find myself having to keep up with the technology that is out there.
One major factor for my personal computer is knowing what its limits are and where I can get parts for it, i.e. my Shuttle PC takes a Socket-A chip with a max FSB of 333MHz. Currently running a Sempron CPU, I am carefully watching the price and availability of the Athlon XP 3000+, which is the fast chip I can put into it. My theory being that I don't need it now, but if I don't get it soon then I won't be able to get it at all when I do need it.
Class templates aside (my C++ is rusty, I think that was a template), wouldn't this be better? (Asume you have a special class for handling these bit registers)
maybe this will help make that flying car a reality?
Oh God I hope not. It is bad enough now with drivers not watching what they are doing in two dimensions and now you want to add a third!? The day that they let the average Joe Blogs drive a flying car is the day I give up driving and to back to walking/cycling/public transport - I'll live longer!
And further, the question of whether its better to maim a solider and thus require several of his buddies to carry him off, or kill him outright.
I guess that depends on the situation. Basically kill him (OK... or her) to put him out of his misery and save him from horrible disfigurment, or wound him and not only remove him from the fight, but also the two guys that it takes to pull him away from the line and look after him.

Probably right about the virus-scan. Outside the machine, the drive probably will look like it is full of garbage.
:(
Speaking as a computer tech who make money out of cleaning up viruses that would be a real bitch
Also, if it relies on a chip on the motherboard, what happens if the m/b gets toasted? Would all the data be history?

It would seem that you are not his spelling tutor either...

Build it into a menorah?

You know, for once I have to stop and ask myself whether this is meant to be funny or not...
Well yeah, think about it for a moment... they are always needing to use their feet aren't they?
How 'bout some prior art?

- money = the root of all evil
- therefore evil = money * money
- therefore j^2 = i^2
- therefore j = i
So they are both as bad as one another? Am I missing something here?Thank you, it is good to see someone here actually sees what is happening. General rule of thumb, if you see it on the news, then it is only a small part of a much bigger story.

Screwing over consumers with high interest. What do YOU think it's for?
From my perspective it means that my business can buy in stock and sell it before it has to be payed for, thereby not killing the cashflow.
It makes you wonder why people bother to do anything these days. It seems as though you cannot even breath without infringing on somebody's patent.
Unless you absolutely must have every single CPU cycle doing something useful, then why not keep it easy to read and understand?

I've said it before and I'll say it again... To quote Macaulay Culkin:
ARRRGH!!!!!
Shatner's speach is bad enough to try and follow, but to mix it with a "reality" show is going to be murder.
