How they manage it still has them puzzled...

I've never seen a puzzled dragonfly. Oh. The scientists.
I'd assume that the dragonfly merely tries to keep the thing it's hiding from in the same position on *its* retina. It'd be a fairly simple feedback mechanism, if you did it with analogue electronics.
I've been to lan parties, I'm not sure I'd want to watch a documentary on one.
In my personal experience it involves about 30min of which ever quake game has been released followed by drinking, one person monopolising the toilet for religious reasons and general trashing of the venue. I have since graduated to real parties, which don't involve the quake, but are otherwise strikingly similar.
VIPS is a wonderful image processing library with all sorts of "evil stuff", NIP is a GTK interface to the library which gives you a kind of spreadsheet for images. I'm telling the author about this slashdot item so he can come and pimp it here himself, but in the mean time take a look.
I have personally used it for analysis of medical images, it's nice and versatile, although the built in scripting language is a bit sick (imo).
...and would not go back to using a mechanical one
This is why I'm dubious, I have to use a lot of different machines, it isn't economic to replace the keyboards for them all, and this would just confuse me. QWERTY may be a crappy standard, but it is a standard.
Depends if you walked through the door/portal or not IIRC.
He obviously jury rigged the power output on his HEV suit to cause an emp pulse which magnetises the biometal in the alien stormtroopers making them all stick together.
I've written a small wrapper library to allow me to switch between the different frontends. It's currently going to SDL as it allows me to do some of the development on my laptop when I'm idle at work.
It's not designed as a windowing system, it's for embedded systems. I looked at using it for my PVR system, but I didn't like the API.
I didn't use X because it provided a whole load of functionality I don't need (windows, input devices), and didn't have some things I did need (reliable access to the BES on the video output card).
I do like X, it's great for my desktop, but it's not the only way of putting pixels on a screen, nor should it be.
Uh huh. QuakeNet (Currently ~150,000 users) has been going since Quake came out in '96. I think Tim's a little slow on the uptake there. (Disclaimer, I'm an operator on QuakeNet)

A prehistoric gamer documentary. I assume.

It has rubbersheet distortion, I'd imagine that would do the job just fine.

princesses don't have transparent wings to show off transparancy etc.
This only rectangular, so I can stack them.
The current one's not bad, but it's sliding downhill in my opinion. In the hall of shame I think we find The Register, and the random story ordering.

You should probably stop trying to encode video with audio codecs then. WMV is Windows Media Video.
Argh. 20 times the size. We're already struggling with user support :P

yes that's the one. I have a LS120 in my desktop, it works fine, but doesn't seem to be able to cram more onto standard floppies.
Qps-Que used to make an LS120-type drive which could write 30-odd meg on a standard floppy. I've been trying to find one for ages :/
They are among those which will fail. Or have already failed. Like schrodinger's cat the act of determination could cause the failure.
I think that's the point.
To be honest, if you rely on slashdot for news then you probably deserve it.
They were losing, and went off to play counterstrike with their clan :P
7 people died. It's sad but it happens. Many more people will have died prematurely today, for other reasons. Life goes on for the rest of us.
What a pick up line... "Want a free mammogram, my dad invented them"
You lucky, lucky man.
So either too old or to new. Tsk, nothing pleases some people :)
I'm sure it'll sort itself out soon, eventually Sun will change to Gnome as the default desktop.
I still miss OpenWindows though. Kinda. Actually, I still use it on some data analysis machines. Remembering that I hate it. Argh.
Why not just use the packages provided by Sun then? Even come on CD now, if you get the reskit.
It means I won't be upgrading my PC for longer, hence saving money!
you could probably fool it with botox. ;)
