the very next day he'll be an unfortunate victim of a very peculiar, uncommon and comically spectacular accident.
I am sure the woman will be spectacular but the "accident" fairly mundane. Lets do it on the balcony daaaahling. Such a lovely night.
Julian: thats a hint. If is a woman you want drop in at the Daily Planet next time you are in Melbourne. I am sure you can afford it and they do proper QA.
But in the first paragraph he admits he did make the statement. If he didn't want it reported he shouldn't have said it. Making "glib" comments gets you into the news.
Many architectural practices use FTP for exchanging files but I reckon if you just gave them scp and said this is the new way of doing ftp they would be satisfied. It does Transfer Files of course.
In fact arsenic is toxic to you precisely because it takes the place of phosphorus so easily, without doing all of the jobs. Except for this little guy, who manages to work around the differences and survive nearly phosphorus-free.
Makes me wonder if this is an organism which has adapted to tolerate the damage from arsenic which would kill us.
My wife has a drafting board right here. Its flat and you can reach over it. More like a tilted table in that you can rest your elbows on it or lean close to the drawing. This L shaped thing can't be used the same way.
You know the slashdot web server logs could estimate travel times fairly well by looking at IP addresses for accounts. User stops browsing at work and starts browsing 45 (or in Sydney 90) minutes later from home.
Most of my data from back then was for the south eastern arterial, which was where we had the high resolution speed and volume data. We weren't working with the Eastern much in those days. I take your point that the tollway has changed the game. It just means you have queuing at different points of the freeway. Generally where there isn't a queue traffic will flow at the limit. Where there is a queue: 30 to 40 km/h. Our real time data used to look like this:
1500 90 10
1000 95 12
500 105 9
0 101 8
Thats Distance, Speed, Volume. Sensors every 500 metres. One day when the tulla was closed outbound I saw this:
10000 0 0
9500 160 1
9000 0 0
8500 0 0
8000 0 0
7500 80 15
7000 60 12
Clearly somebody with a Porsche was late for his plane.
My opinion (not that it matters) is that the inner lanes of the Eastern should be bicycle lanes both ways. They can carry many more people that way. Otherwise demographic changes will just fill it up again.
I used to do this for VicRoads in Melbourne. At peak times a queue builds up at the exit end of the freeway. Normally the city end during the morning peak. Travel time depends entirely on the length of the queue. Maybe RTA NSW should be paying VicRoads for the software I wrote in the 1990s. It can be a discount on the money VicRoads pays for SCATS.
How long until we see countries cloning mass eugenicized armies of the perfect race for warfare, class-control, workforce supply, and nationalistic tendencies? 50 years anybody?
Using a particular template doesn't guarantee anything beyond superficial characteristics. You have to train your warriors, though these days I suppose its in the software more than anything else. The only practical outcome from cloning I can see is growing replacement body parts. I can definitely see that happening.
There might be other applications. I work in air traffic control where console designs last 20 years or so. Monitors cost 80 grand and last five to ten years. Software lead time is four years at least. This integrated UI looks pretty interesting for our use.
It would also be interesting to see mult layer displays to give depth. Say you stack ten transparent layers so an object can have ten pixels depth.
Haptic feedback works well on my phone. If a way could be found to combine a flexible LCD or OLED display with a Braille output device then I think many interesting things could be possible. You could have your keyboard with tactile feedback and more.
But also the back projection idea has to go. In a real office there won't be room for that. I don't think LCDs need to be flat though. Probably expensive to build in a custom shape, but once you get into production they shouldn't be any more expensive than flat ones. I would be interested in a display desk which wraps around the user as well. Maybe a 270 degree curve.
painters, sculptors, carpenters, electricians, all sorts of folks use their arms like that all the time. Unless you're handicapped it should be no problem.
But those people have more flexibility in the way they work on the vertical surface. They don't have to sit on a seat at a fixed distance. They can walk right up to the thing they are working on and get their arms in a comfortable position. Even painters can lean in close when they need to. Few of them work sitting as low as I would type for example.
If I had to sit at a fixed distance I might start to get injuries from overuse.

Are you telling me that when the movie comes out Assange is going to be played by Tom Cruise? Noooooooooo!

With all that arsenic I doubt they will smell very good.
Hopefully they go the RDP-like route, which im my opinion is vastly superior over the way X11 does it.
But RDP sends a whole lot of stuff over the network when I just want one application. How can that be better?

IIRC it was on the point of being sold to Australia when the Falklands conflict started so the UK held on to it.

Their method needs to track the location of the viewers' eyes, so in 3D Apple, TV watches you.
As a bonus, viewers can be charged per minute and per eye.
It can be awkward if I have to stand up to go to a meeting.
British Aerospace? I wasn't aware of them being able to even half accomplish anything.
Apparently its right there beside the "no fat chicks" law.

I may not have the smarts to do that either but I posted a link to my own server on slashdot and it stopped working.

Now add to that merger a chair, toilet, and sex robot and you'll have office equipment that will really sell.
In fact, forget the chair, toilet, and desk.
...but keep the multitouch surface?
