With Blu-Ray's smaller beams, it seems to me that it should play DVDs a lot longer than Blu_rays, since the beam target is so much smaller on a Blu-Ray.
And its not even a Playstation phone! It's an Android 'gaming' phone: i.e. a regular android phone from Sony-Ericsson which replaces a slide-out keypad with a slide-out gamepad, and happens to run the Playstation app available for all other Android handsets. If people are expecting a PSP phone, they're going to be sorely disappointed.
I'm in the same boat. Was born after the original Tron finished it's theatre run, and still greatly enjoyed it when I eventually did see it. A few months ago I saw it again via a screening of an old 35mm print and still enjoyed it (and saw a lot of the little sight gags you miss with the DVD, like the little Pac-Man on the Command Carrier display). Enjoyed Tron Legacy too, but with one exception: Far too much reverb on the vocals. FAR too much. The screening was put on by Dolby themselves so it certainly wasn't a case of poor cinema setup, it was just impossible to hear a lot of the lines over the superimposed echoes.
Here in the UK at least, most banks have switched from BACS to FPS. Most transfers go through within two hours, and I've had some complete within seconds.

Tron: Legacy

· Score: 3, Informative
The suits of Tron: Legacy DO glow, via EL panels. However he was referring to the original Tron, where the suit glow was an incredibly tedious multiple-matte effect using several exposures and manually cut and positioned gels whenever more than one colour was used on screen.
I doubt everything, or even most things, that the various 'anonymous' (a singular unified label misses the entire point, but I digress) attributed activities have been false-flag. It does make for a neat cover, but a difficult and unruly one. To give any sort of credence that something is a 'legitmate' anonymous attack, it is almost defacto not accompanied with any sort of unified claim, but instead by nebulous consensus over numerous highly fluid websites and IRC channels. Faking that without unrelated members crying foul over obvious subversion attempts would be incredibly difficult, even even harder would be attempting to sway the actual anonymous DDOS attackers themselves. A few using LOIC might be fooled, but those who attack via self-controlled botnets (i.e. generate the majority of the required traffic) are likely to at least perform a cursory google of the proposed target.
tl;dr version: any agency attempting to spam with a target would be called out. Performing a DDOS then claiming it was anonymous without any corroboration would be equally obvious. Any attempting to sway opinion through a false majority would be promptly accused of samefaggotry and ignored.
My hope is the ratcheting up of the posturing levels to new ridiculous heights during the handover could be to allow Kim Jong-Un to adopt a more moderate policy without completely collapsing his power base. A event-free handover followed by "Welp, guess we should stop our unsustainable policy of isolationism and get with the international program" would probably result in the generals ousting Un, whereas "Oh shit, Glorious Father went a little too far, better do something to avert invasion, right guys?", even if the outcome is the same, may go down better.
Or I could be talking complete nonsense and am simple unaware of the magnitude of NK's regular levels of crazy.
OtherOS has not yet been reenabled, but linux is running (over a network, not from the internal HDD) in GameOS mode, which allows access to all the Cell's SPUs and the RSX. It also runs on both the old style 'fat' PS3 and the new slim PS3.
At the top of my list:
- A decent screen.
The entire device is basically a display with a SOC and a battery glued to the back, but it's the component that always seems to get the short end of the stick. 1024x600 TN panels? What the hell 99% of tablet manufacturers!
Or Ghost in the Shell (the Kinect does use an IR camera, so you could construe a Termoptic Camouflage joke). Or Metal Gear Solid. Or Neuromancer (the Panther Moderns). Or any of the many other science fiction stories that mention optical camoflage.
The Kinect uses an LED laser, so is truly monochromatic. You'd need some very narrow band-pass filters, but these are available, albeit sometimes bespoke.
As the video demonstrates, the Kinect is fooled by spurious pattern projections from other Kinects in the vicinity. This could be solved by replacing the IR source in the 'projector' (actually a point source and a pinhole grid) with one of a different wavelength, and adding appropriate filters to the IR cameras in each Kinect. Each Kinect would then only see IR light of the 'colour' it emits. This would probably require the use of slightly brighter IR emitters.
That's why the SRBs are literally bolted to the pad until after ignition. Ever wonder why 'main engine start' comes in the t- count? Liftoff (t=0) is when the clamps release and the frangible nuts blow, not when the engines are started.
No. The Wii's motion controls were evolutionary, not revolutionary. There was no innovation in the first place, just good marketing. Same with the ipod: not the first portable mp3 player by a long stretch, but the first with widespread marketing of the SHINY NEW THING.
From what I can tell, the questions from the exam were taken from a bank of pre-written questions provided by the publisher of the textbook used on the course. This test bank was leaked.
Now as far as I am aware, this is an American thing. As a UK university graduate (engineering degree) as far as I was aware all exam questions were written by the professors teaching the course.

BD players play DVDs using a DVD laser module.

No. As the linked summary states, the CME was not directed at the Earth.
I think he meant more like a year (or similar) of compulsory training & tour of duty once you reach the age of majority.
Although, toilet paper is probably more ubiquitous than PCs.
And this is surprising how? Everyone knows that populated PCBs really chafe, even with SMT components only.

When in the history of war has a new weapon ended war with it's lethality?
Well, there was that one new bomb a while back. You know, the nuclear thing.
Ar(r)sePedia is already taken, however.

It's not the rights of the previous owner (they're dead, what do they care?), but whether the rights are inherited by next-of-kin.
It's already pretty damn easy to identify fake AV software. Just follow this simple flowchart:
Is it advertised through a popup or an unsolicited email? > Yes > It's a scam!
Simple! This works for all products, not just fake AV.
