Adam Hart-Davis was better (you get the idea that there is some cerebral activity going on in there), but I find his style of delivery patronising. It's as if he pictures his audience as a room-full of mildly retarded twelve-year-olds.
Apparently plasma screens are particularly suceptible to screen burn, and the so-called 'DOG' (Don't know what it stands for, it means the logo of the station/programme you're watching) often gets burnt in if you watch one channel frequently. The displays in the BBC TV newsrooms used to show this effect, but they've either been replaced or recalibrated.
I just wish they'd stop cluttering *my* screenspace.
A while back there was a craze for quake demo files as movies, some were great (blahbalicious, operation bayshield).
I was involved with the UK Quake Movie Project, unfortunately it was usurped by a goth with ulterious motives and it became a shoddy lovecraftian nightmare rather than a surreal comedy with cows.
Laser printers do gray scale by dithering, you lose resolution. Good idea though. Better storage medium would be black/white photographic film like microfiche.
On Intel and similar ix86 type hardware there is a feature that enables us to generate 'watchdog NMI interrupts'. (NMI: Non Maskable Interrupt which get executed even if the system is otherwise locked up hard). This can be used to debug hard kernel lockups.
OTOH you reach a limit for orthogonal reflection as the frequency of EM oscillation reaches a point where it would require charge carriers to move at the speed of light. This happens with hard x-rays/soft gammas.
Can't find my notes to verify this, and my memory isn't that great.
I use VLC and/or mplayer compiled for OS X, and upgrading to 6 broke these, VLC guys claimed this was due to QT6, and said to change to 16bit. This worked.
I later reinstalled OS X, and just didn't install QT6. So, I'd love to hear other peoples' experiences;)

UK domains are around £5p.a.! but you have to commit for 2 years.

Well, he does lecture at Cambridge..

I'd like to point out this has nothing to do with me.

If you pay tolls/road tax etc the government/highways agency doesn't have to repair your car.
You can already hear the network output with snoop.
It has a nice web interface for my non-techie friends but behaves as a proper MLM for everyone else. It can use a mysql backend too

That'd explain the strange numbers from the voting machines.

I find these fascinating. The things people will do to destroy perfectly good hardware. It's like a road crash.
Original Apple didn't even *have* a case, how elite is that?
we already drive on the right side of the road: the left.
I can't double click the system menu to close ;)
I think the mouth of sauron must have had 'benefits', he was >400 years old (Don't have my LoTR books here to find the exact date in the appendix)
Got a company horse too.
thanks, I'll give it a go when my powerbook comes back from repairs.
I miss it so much it hurts sometimes.

Useful. I can get at every pixel. Wonder how hard it'd be to pump this into ffmpeg.

It's been done. Don't forget that signals don't travel at the speed of light in optical fibre. Around 1.5 is what was used in the earlier experiment.
PS: I have just earnt my MSc in Optics from IC.
Shayler was a whistleblower who whilst working at MI5 found out about this SIS/MI6 action. It is MI6 that is being protected.
