I think it would be cool to have some sort of "interface nuetral" environment, where the client does all the all the hard work - for himself and maybe for others.
That way, maybe my interface would be all text - and someone else could have this amazing 3d immersive environment, but the same events happen for us both.
Also, say I have this amazing 3d stuff going on - I might give another's client the option of having me render the stuff for them, if I have all this amazing hardware - that way I can appear to be really amazing to people who don't even have the kind of hardware to see my avatar (or landscape or whatever) the way I want it to be seen.
I propose a new section: reruns, where/. editors can post the same old stories over and over, and the/. crowd won't have the right to bitch because it's in the rerun section.
To learn, you must draw on past experiences, use intelligences in which you have strengths, communicate and discuss with others, be aware of your cognitive processes, assess yourself...
I'm afraid that "absorbing" thing never really happens... the days of desks in rows, taking notes from the speaker who lectures and is the giver of all knowledge, are soon over I hope... Though this style works for some people, multiple intelligences, constructivism, and various other "new age" techniques work for EVERYONE -- and seeing as how education is a "public right," I do believe everyone aught to be included, don't you?
I think I do speak for us anti-noise buffs when I say.. it's not really those drive operation sounds.. seeking and whatnot.. that are so annoying, but it is the high pitched drone of the drive that gets to us.
I do however have both a barracuda IV and V in my box, and they are commendable in their quietness of drone. I really don't care how well they perform in reading and writing... I only care about the environmental characteristics.
I use it all the time for screen capture videos. From http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/wm7/ encoder.asp: "Enables Screen Capture to File and Real-Time Broadcast. Includes an easy process for creating screen capture and training demos using the Windows Media screen capture codec."
They get around it buy trying to make the ad as intresting as possible.
I wish.. most tv ads I see in ny here are still boring and stupid. Maybe if they actually were clever, funny, or just.. SOMETHING.. I'd be more interested.
I use AKG K240 Monitors and they're awesome! The deal is, these may very well have been used to master whatever recordings you like... so, why not hear it how it was meant to sound?
My school network shoots down anything over port 1024 (all traffic above that port is forced to share a rather small percentage of the bandwidth), on the assumption that academic work takes place on ports below that, while "general use" takes place on ports above that. However, I very frequently download music for academic purposes, and very frequently run into the bottleneck. I'm not downloading RIAA stuff here; it's recordings of other college ensembles. Also, try sharing academic documents with your classmates over aim; it's a joke. So guess what happens? Email.
Meanwhile I'm leeching pr0n off of port 80, which has no restrictions, but it's about the most non-academic thing I do...
the moral of the story is, everything is all screwed up, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it, because the network admins believe that >1024=criminal.
I think sometimes people have made decisions about the role of art in their lives without ever having really thought about it.
John Cage believed the role of art is to keep people from drowning in their own thoughts. He believed the role of the artist is to open people's eyes, ears, and minds to the beauty that surrounds them all the time.
Emotion is just one facet of art. There is a whole spectrum. When Cage went to determine why some things are not beautiful, he could not come up with a reason.
"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all." --Cage
I think it has a lot to do with how people perceive sound. Unlike light, which when multiple wavelengths are present is perceived as a single new color, multiple wavelengths of sound are preceived as different pitches.
The thing is, for some people, the pitches are very "close together" - pitches very distant in frequency are perceived as the same pitch. These people don't mind noise because it is not so distracting... it sounds as noise.
For other people, even pitches that are relatively close in frequency sound "far apart" - they're easily distinguished from each other. These are the type of people that have perfect pitch, or perfect relative pitch. These people tend to be musicians. What others would perceive as noise, these people perceive as a complicated chord, which grabs their attention. Also, musicians train themselves to be sensitive to timbre, volume, all sorts of things. Thus, that simple computer "sound" in the background is a strange and distracting symphony, constantly playing.

Been on this one many times on school trips. You actually get to see a lot of cool stuff.
Are you up on any recent research?

I don't really get it.. Xinerama is.. some sort of desktop environment? And.. a single giant screen.. like a giant multi display? or a giant clone?
does someone want to explain?
The reason it hasn't been leaked is simple.. once you look.. SNOWCRASH!

The dogma is running rampant!
I think you have it all wrong... people exist to serve the computer networks. /sarcasm...

7am, 1 comment, already /.ed
amazing.
and it causes global warming!

will cause the program to ask you by what name you'd like to refer to the new document
This is the kind of shit I don't want to waste my time with. Name the damn thing for me - don't bother me when I'm working.
4) I can install or remove RAM in less than 5 seconds on any powermac.
And boy will you need to, with OS X's ram needs!
I think some of /.'s posters could use this stuff.
for companies and institutions that use a lot of heavy computation.
I think you mean companies and institutions that use very little heavy computation - thus it's cheaper for them to rent it out.

If you want SMALL, go for the Sxxx series.. like S330
I've found I don't even carry a big camera around, but the s110 lives happily in my pocket, and I actually use it a whole lot more!
There's always crazy browser in case you run windows :-)
anyone else want to see PPC port on that roadmap?
only if you value life
