Canon Digital Rebels and Nikon D series (D70 and such) both have a buffer and fast write time to the compact flash that lets you take shots at up to 2 or 3 per second. I sampled one of these at a camera store and went click click click clcik click and then had to wait for the 5 photos to finish being written to the card. And I did this in only a few seconds. The good quality SLRs are quick at this. This is why I am going to be buying one soon since I got fed up with the wait time in the $100 digital I bought. BTW, I am also going to pick up a Canon Rebel non-digital, since the lens mounts are the same I can use lenses on both. I know some people may say why, but there are some things I want on film and not just digital. The non-digital runs about $200-$300.
In Iowa, a poll supervisor had to drive hundreds of miles to find a working counting machine. Worse, the state didn't accept a federal absentee ballot for military personnel, which meant that some Iowans fighting in Iraq were not able to vote.
Given that the majority of the Military are republicans, this would be a blatant way of tipping the results towards a Democratic candidate.
Rest assured that if there's any big monied interests that give heavily to the Republican Party or at least have to the Bush family that we will see a diminishment of rights for the common folk, i.e. legislation or directives on the side of patents.
Umm... Clinton (Democrat) Signed in to law the DMCA. You think that doesnt have anything to do with patents?
Replacing one polluting fuel with another polluting fuel is not a solution.
If we operated a breeder reactor we could recyle our old fuel and have less than 1% of the reaming product. It would also only have to be shipped off to a low level radiation storage facility since it would be putting out much less radiation. A breeder reactor would solve much of our problems with nuclear fuel storage by basically being a fuel recycler.
If they are storing an exact copy on the raid array, then the images are still encrypted and require decrypting during playback. Probably also means that they don't skip unskkipable stuff as well.
Armed robbery in the high seas, that would be piracy deserving of jail time. This was copyright infringement. Deserving of financial ruination perhaps, but not jail time, ever.
Actually, I looked up the definition of Piracy from a dictionary from the early 70's. It included copyright infringement as oen of the definitions. Copyright Infringement as a definition of Piracy has been around for a lot longer than that. So the MPAA and RIAA didn't start anything new by calling Copyright Infringement Piracy
The one in Springfield (my local one) also does modding. I don't know about the pre-installs since I have not been in there in a while. So it is probably all three of them that sell the moded consoles. Although I do remember the Springfield one selling special edition Game Cubes that would play DVDs (I think they were a Japan Only item and imported).
You further understand and agree, by installing the software, that the software may, without any further prior notice to you, remove, disable or render inoperative other adware programs resident on your computer.
Based on that they say "other adware", sounds to me like they admit that they themselves are adware. Which to me translates as spyware/viri.
Considering that companies make Windup radios and flashlights I wonder if they could make a similar generator for the AMD PIC. Given, that the monitor would require more power, but the windup might supply enough wattage for the PC itself.
Keep a credit card if you must, but never put on it more than you can pay off when the bill comes in.
Easiest way for me. I keep my credit limit low and spend at most my monthly limit. Since this is less than my monthly salary after taxes it is my way of saving me money and making sure I don't go over.
shannon's law and all - of course we haven't approached those limits yet (I think)
the DVB-S2 standard (with devices due in 2005) comes within 1.0-0.7db of shannons law. Also, another company has come within 0.1db (or 0.01db, i forget) and might be even closer now at this point to shannons law. This is the real thing and is being adopted in broadcast networks for transmission to stations. PDF here on the new tech. On page 11 they list the 1.0-0.7db figure. Not sure how large it is Unfortunately in order to use a full transponder at full capacity and speed you would need a few of these since it appears they do not have the processing power to do more than ~50 megabits/sec. A full transponder under one of these would run around 180 Megabits/sec (36Mhz*5bits/mhz) .
Can you tell me where you bought the 1GB version? I have been looking around and online and have not found anyone that has it that will ship to the USA.
At 4.5% it comes to 156% if you invest it. This is not compound interest, this is a loan calculation. Payments are constant and interest goes down as time goes on due to more of the principle being payed off. Also, my loan is in payback right now and has never been subsidised. Loan morgage calculator for $1 million, 2.875%, 10 years produces a monthly payment of $9598.48, over 10 years this comes to $1.15 million. Or a multiplies of 1.15. This is the kind of calculation you use for calculating payback. Not compund interest. Compund interest is only used when you invest the money at a fixed interest rate and are never used for loans. As for college loans being low, even at 4.5%, that comes out to 124.6% as much. still less that the 156%. Plug in your numbers and see.
Not disputing the numbers, but that 1.4 factor bothers me. Ten years of interest at current rates doesn't come out to 40% loan paybacks. According to my calculations, at 2.85% interest (the current rate of my college loans), at 10 years they would have paid a total of 1.163 times as much. In order to get the 1.4 factor, it would have to be an interest rate of 6.65%. These numbers done using the payment calculator of excel. 10(payment perids)*PMT($1,2.85%/period,10 (periods)).
RF infrastructure does not go out of date easily. lifetimes of transmitters and towers are upwards of 20 years and the equipment itself gets replaced periodically but does not get obsolete. The companies that use it will make the most efficient use of it for their purposes. If they have extra bandwidth, they will lease it. Look up satelite transponders and how many companies sublease extra bandwidth. What is a deffinition of efficient in this case anyways?
The other problem with loosing the lease is that the customers have to change out their equipment as well. Think about having to change out 10 million cellphones every few years.
As for the agenda you see, its more a way of making money. No corporation is going to sit on unused spectrum. They are either going to use it, lease it or sell it to make money. We will probably see a new market specifically for the buying and selling of spectrum in a few years.
Oh, and one other thing. In you post replace frequencies with land and tell me what you think of that.
DTV is allowing the consolidation of all TV stations to about 2/3 the previous number of channels. Previously they needed all the chanels to keep stations from interfeering with each other in adjacent markets. The top 20 or so channels (49-69?) frequencies are no longer going to be in use. They are auctioning off all those frequencies that each channel (6mhz each) used.
As for the military and the garage door openers, the Military has certain frequencies set aside for its use. By FCC rules other companies can use those frequencies so long as they don't interfere with the person/group who is the legal user of it (the DoD in this case). The garage door manufacturers are knowingly using those frequencies and as such whenever the Military broadcasts in those areas the openers are overwelmed by the power. Several other groups use frequencies like this. Such as car remotes, In home wireless CCTV systems, security systems and others. The Military is probably using standard power for those freqs, its just that the remotes are so much weaker they don't get through.
Maybe so, but with renting you have a lot of other problems. Two ways of renting:
Lease is renewed every X years (like renting an apartment):
The gov decides to up the rent by 100% this year and you can't pay.
You do something and the gov decides to evict you or not renew your lease. (think politics)
Every time you have to re-bid for the same spectrum:
Congrads, you've built an entire infrasture around your frequencies, but you didn't get the same/any frequencies this time and you are up the creek.
Probably some others on a similar note out there but that is the general idea.
at $2 billion/day that would be $730 billion/year. This is about the total amount that has been allocated to the military for FY2004 at most. That would mean that the military as a whole is spending every dollar on Iraq. This is far from true. 20 million/day is probably a better number, and that includes paychecks.

Cannon (and Nikon too I think) make anti jitter lenses. You pay more for them, but they eliminate the problem you are talking about.

In Bush's favor?

Hopefully the judge will rule against both of them and have them both locked up for spreading viri, which is what I consider their products to be.
