It might be the same technology as the X3 system, but they also have incredible color correction tools.
As I understand it, when the rover takes a photograph, it first calibrates the color by photographing coloured spheres attached to itself. It then calibrates the spheres' colour (in the photo, not in reality, silly) to match that of neutral light, and not light filtered by the martian atmosphere.
Then it takes the photo, and either sends it back to Earth with colour data attached, or corrects it onboard. The first is more likely.
Buy the most recent issue of Popular Science. They've got a great guide in their How 2.0 section on building your own home theatre system with a projector-type system this month. Try there for some inspiration.:)
I agree completely. But, the largest problem that I see with the U.S. political system of today is the career politician. The one who runs for office as a job. They're not really representing the voters, they're trying to get re-elected. And in order to do this, they have to advertise. This is where corporate America comes in.
There's lots of money there. And it costs money to advertise (duh!). So if politicians can suck up to corporations (Bush == oil), then they can advertise, and convince the voters that they will do all these wonderful things, and stay in office for another year, and have their job.
So they don't generally work as lawyers or professors or anybody like that, who can fall back on something out of office.
So they struggle to get re-elected, and spin anything (the DMCA and PATRIOT) into a web of cuddly soft lies around these acts, which really could do anything. So long as the public sees it as good, it is good.
Would there be enough support for an anti-DMCA position? Ask Microsoft. I'm sure they hate it as much as we do *rolls eyes*
Okay, fine. I'll allow you your SUV, but you'll have to nix your beach house because ocean levels are rising. And maybe your hike through Yellowstone won't be quite so scenic, since you're breathing that annoying smog from other SUV drivers, and looking through their haze. Which do you value more?
Why do we talk about the rising ocean levels? The rising CO[2] levels throughout the earth? We're fairly certain that we've caused a lot of this. Look at graphs of CO[2] levels, even in remote places. They show a gradual rise over years and years. And we are also fairly certain that CO[2] is a greenhouse gas. It traps heat. So, we almost certainly are increasing the amount of CO[2] on the earth, which is almost certainly trapping more solar radiation. I guess that means it's getting warmer around here, and we are probably the cause.
Why are we so different from all the other animals? We have such power. Our technology can do more damage over a huge swath of anything in less time than just about anything before us. Hooray. We can kill more, faster! So we have the responsibility. Species are becoming endangered and extinct as direct results of our actions.
Unless you want to say that it's all the planet searching for equilibrium. Well, I guess that murder or genocide could be society searching for equilibrium, based on these terms. Why don't we just throw a huge all-/.-hedonist-consumption-love-fest while we're at it?
We're not just "searching for equilibrium". We're disturbing it. Badly.
Just about everybody agrees that it is warmer, how much is the difference. The only difference.
biking amongst pedestrians is often dangerous at high speeds
*running over pedestrians with Segway HT set as fast as possible* You've got to be kidding me! *swerves into street, causing car accident* Hurt anybody? No way! *mows down old lady* Bah! What rubbish! I don't have time not to go fast!
As much as I'd like to see Windows become OSS, I think that it'd probably create compatibility problems galore for software companies who are used to working in a rigid (but not really stable;-) ) environment like Windows to an environment where certain versions of Windows have different faults and features than others.
Well, I guess that I mean other than the psuedo-linear upgrades.:-D
Goes of to do something different for a little bit, and thinks about this...
But there are some differences between the different Lini (ha ha ha) that require a little different programming in order to work around.
On second thought, I guess that making it work on lotsa lini would be easier than making it work on one Windows. Open Source Away!
Slashdot Mirror
And there's been so much development since then. *winks*
*inhales* (high-pitched voice) Somehow I think it won't!
Well, I had a dog once (we had to put him down), and he had a severe case of separation anxiety. We tried DAP, and it...didn't work.
The DAP seemed to help, but only while we were home.
So much for that idea.

It also contains numerous instruments of its own for various tasks.

I'm really surprised that Alcohol 120% isn't on the blacklist!
I'd say...just rip out your CD-RW / DVD (re)writer and then copy to ISO w/ A-120, then burn that!
There's always a loophole!
