I thought that, but you watch the video, the pilots move in real time. So that means somehow the 'copter was filmed (cgi'ed?) in real time too.
Bloody clever - and the stills design page is excellent too.
This is great coverage, and the correct way to use advanced techniques for only the objective of reporting news.
If you buy any of their products, you agree to the T&C et al. Doesn't matter if they do not say what they don't say (you get the drift) if their products have back doors - that is your fault.
It is interesting in the security report that they state the back door accounts that are 'hard set' will NOT be removed.
And also, 99% of people that have home computers (Joe Bloggs, John Doe et al) are all of a sudden insanely stupid when in front of a computer, so believe what 'the computer told them'.
...Schroeder's cat. If it works, you don't know it, but if it doesn't you have to try again until you get it to work (if you can tell that it worked anyway). Then the pipe comes out to stop my mind frying.
OURNALIST: No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space.
No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.
At midnight on the twelfth of August, a huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth. Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. As I watched, there was another jet of gas. It was another missile, starting on its way.
And that's how it was for the next ten nights. A flare, spurting out from Mars - bright green, drawing a green mist behind it - a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convinced there could be no living thing on that remote, forbidding planet.
What he has done is combined touch with an interface that configures itself to the touch, so he knows where his finger is, and at the same time knows where (whatever) the touchpad hotstops are.
"Since he cannot precisely hit a button on a touch screen, Mr. Raman created a dialer that works based on relative positions. It interprets any place where he first touches the screen as a 5, the center of a regular telephone dial pad. To dial any other number, he simply slides his finger in its direction -- up and to the left for 1, down and to the right for 9..."
So simple yet so brilliant. There is so much tripe published about 'innovation' (usually Microsoft), yet I think this is the first time _I_ can use this word properly.
If that is a true post, and I think it is, it was the fact 1980 was also a leap year. So we had a last day of a leap year, and then just subtract 365/366 as appropriate 'if (IsLeapYear(year))', you will end up on the last day of 1980 - which isn't > 366 but it is > 365.

But these are not inventions, nor really innovations - just 'discovery' of something that changes/fixes 'x' or 'y' (or leads to the fix).
Who uses Chinese Junks? I thought you guys used canoes like in the film "The 'squeal like a pig' Deliverance"
I guess dictionaries were not available in the early '90's

You will need a new Nokia with 10,000 buttons on it to use all the crap MS office has (that 99.9% of people don't use).
Let alone 16GB of memory for a 'hello darling, I will home soon' txt msg.
I guess a few chairs have been moved around a bit...

That is at least ONE thing MS got right.
...only 12 people can hear you screaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmm 'who's been eating MY sandwiches'
... good job he didn't detect it, else the Internet would have been infected with MS Windows virus/trojans from day #1.

We better beware!

EULA!
No it isn't. It is England.
I doubt anybody outside England and under 40 years old gets that joke - and/but to be honest, I don't even Jim could fix MS crap.

Thanks for this - great stuff.

Well done Mr. Raman - truly brilliant.

Heh. It just proves nothing was tested.
