I bet if they had done this in Chicago, the number would be above 5,000 dead voting people. And, many of them would have voted at least twice.
Seriously, Chicago does have this problem and every attempt to cleanse the voting roles of dead voters is shot down as being discriminatory against minorities.
I'm missing one piece - a small, 720P camera for video acquisition.
The cheapest consumer HD video camera I have seen is made by sony. It costs $3,500. The size is about 1 foot long, 6 wide and 6 high. Not sure if it is 720p or 1080i. Doesn't matter much in this case. Now, if you want something that will give you the 1280x720 resolution, try one of the still digital cameras that can give you just as good a resolution (and sometimes act as a web cam). They generally cost much less. Concord has a camera that should work for this, assuming the webcam picture is full res.
This sounds suspiciously like something that happened to my uncle when he got near retirement age. Some companies will (aparently) fire employees getting near retirement age so they don't have to pay the pension (or similar retirement plan). They say it is something else so they can have some reason to try to cover their asses legally. (Firing based on age is illegal).
Not sure if this was the case, but it seems similar.
It's actually mozilla. Not displaying it the same way (scroll bars around box 1) not bringing up the default plate (Heritage - state bird) and generally taking a long time to load up the letters on the plate picture (if at all)
Just imagine what the market would be if every user were presented with a informed opinion about each browser without having any of them installed yet, when they first connect to the internet and need one.
Ummm.... How would they connect to recieve the information in the first place? IRC? FTP? TelNet? HTTP sure seems to be out since they won't have a browser...
I recommend the Ak-47 as the tool for people in oppressive regimes.
But wouldn't the first thing an oppresive regime do is enact gun control to keep people from owning guns? If the people can not own guns, the people can not overthrow the government.
1 million people walking past parliament is a protest. 1 million (with guns) walking past is a revolution. (Thanks to Witty Quotes)
While I do agree that those laws should apply, I wonder about one thing. For false advertising (as an example) are those laws specifically written to only apply to print and tv adds? Or were they written to be universal against any advertisement (I.E. E-mail)? Just making sure that they can legally be applied tothe situation here.
Aside from fraud and false advertising, lets also add in trademark infringement (fake viagra, rolex), mail fraud (fraud+stamp=mail fraud), wire fraud (that one alone is enough to put them away for life), and a few others. Also, I'm pretty sure we could get the internet to qualify as a "wire" under these laws (so they would be aplicable).
So I guess we should write to our lawmakers saying "Don't write new laws, just update the ones already on the books."?
12 hours of HD in 45GB? Lets see here:
45GB=45000MB=360000Mb
360000Mb/12hour=30000Mb/hour=8.3Mb/s
Interesting... Not only is that below what HD TV is, it is below the highest speed a standard DVD is read at (1x=~10Mb/s). You can compress HD to that level, but it will look like crap. SD, on the other hand, will look fairly good at that bit rate. My guess is that on a 45GB disk, they will be able to store 4 hours (~25Mbit) of HD programming on this disk. And yes, that is what I expect HD programming to debut at (at a minimum). Personally, I am hoping for something a bit hgiher (say 45Mbit at least).
I just graduated last year. The CS dept. had a higher ratio of Girls to Guys than the entire Engineering dept. In Engineering the ratio was about 10:1. In CS it was about 10:3.
And I don't have much more than a clue. Can you or someone give a brief summary of what has been happening so those of us that never heard of her before yesterday know what is going on?
Say hello to Prof. Illumoka for me. Along with Adrezin and Hill. Sugestion, though. Take Calculus of Several Variables (aka calc 3) that the EEs have to take as well. It will help you later on with some of the other courses. One other thing, you do have to take math that is higher than DifEQ. They just teach it in the Engineering Dept. because teh math department no longer teaches it. M260 used to be required be CompEs. Then Godbout taught a class to replace it since the math department no no longer taught it.
P.S. I just graduated from UHA in 2004 (with a degree in CompE).
The problem is that the iPod only works with either songs that you buy from the on-line Apple iTunes store or songs that you rip from your own CD's.
Hmm... And whose fault would that be? If the Record companies didn't require DRM we wouldn't have to worry about this. Or does she want Apple to open up their DRM scheme?
I know who I'd bet on. But when the odds are 0% vs.1%, I can tell you who'd win that, too - and this answer isn't as nice.
I've given this quite a bit of thought. When you are in a pinch, a lot of stuff becomes a weapon. Especially when you don't value your own life very highly. Lets say that some guy had a box cutters (which is apparently what the 9/11 hijackers had). Take jacket, wrap around arm (use as protection against blade). Hold Laptop in both hands and use as shield/club. Bull charge the guy and don't stop hitting him until one of you stops moving.
Most people might not want to "get hurt" but some of us are borderline suicidal as is and don't give a flying f*ck about what physical condition we are in afterwards. As long as the guy doesn't have anything serious, the passengers can overwelm him.
I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this one element that kept comming up.
The titanium crew module
Thats some really expensive material. But now NASA can have that titanium shuttle they always wanted. Maybe they can just melt down some old russian subs for salvage?
Windows, actually. Soon to be Mac, but that is way OT.
Actually, easiest way is to look the articles up online using the NYT's own search function, then go to the microfilm/fiche section and pull those reals and look them up. As for the time, I drive by the library periodically anyway to the grocery store. I might as well just stop in and look them up. It's not like it's out of the way for me.
As for my time being worthless? I value my time very much. Which is why I can wait till I pass by the library.
There is enormous potential for the NYT to cut costs by switching (not entirely, of course) to a web/subscription content delivery model.
Some newspapers have already done this. Few problems, however. First, some charge more for the online edition than the print edition. Second, it takes time to download and find what you want. Plus, some don't let you download and 'keep' the paper (like you can be clipping out an article). Third, Bandwidth costs may actually be higher than the printing costs.
One more thing, btw, newspapers use a large content of recycled paper. They probably save many more trees using that than they kill.
I'm in the same area as you. I agree with you on that. Seems like the only thing I read from them is the Sunday Comics and the computer store adds. Seeing as this is how they make their money, I wonder why they won't do just that?
Why should I pay? How about I just goto the library and pull out the article I am looking for in their microfilm/microfiche archive? Even small Universities have those going all the way back to the 1890's, as do most libraries.

Unusual for geeks:
Bathing
Brushing Teeth
Combing Hair
Getting Haircuts
Dressing up (more than jeans and a T-Shirt)
Doing well with the ladies
Seriously, parts of this have applied to many geeks I have known (including me). Would be curious if anyone else has any other things to add.

Thanks for reminding me about that quote. It's one that is generally forgoten.
"You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."
I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire
God, how I love quotes.
