Disney has been using this technology for decades in their theme park theaters. Walt Disney World has Muppetvision, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Philharmagic, It's Tough to be a Bug. They all use the polarized filters to give the 3D effect, although they differ slightly in their method of delivering the video. All this is is commercialization of an existing product.
I don't know if it was just me, but if you guys remember that scene in The 40-year-Old Virgin where they're breaking fluorescent tubes against each other's legs, then shouldn't all the actors in that scene be dead with how much mercury was floating around there?
The reason for this is likely Facebook and Myspace. These social networking sites make is really easy to simply log onto one site, do all the chit-chat with 10-20 people that would normally take 5 minutes per person, and then log off.
When I go to the computer lab at my university, a quick peek at women's computer screens shows that 7 out of 10 computer screens are of Facebook, and 2 out of 10 are of Myspace. The remaining 10% are of actual class webpages.
On the other hand, 6 out of 10 male computer screens are of ESPN, NCAA, or Facebook/Myspace. Okay I didn't really look at the guys at all.
Don't you realize that after all this, the show got the marketing that Turner was looking for? Otherwise, it might be the 10 people that said, "Oh look, there's that Aqua somethin somethin thing. Alien or whatever." Now it's the entire world. Now the rest of the world may think we're dumbasses for it, but still.
Not to mention they emit blue light at a phosphor to generate yellow light (sound familiar?). The blue light and yellow light combine to make "white." Except it's not actually white. It just has the color temperature for us to perceive it as white. The spectrum of LEDs is absolutely horrendous for household use.
You can see just how fluorescent fills in the "holes" that LED has.
You be missing a lot of colors (outside of blue and yellow) if you look at colorful objects with white LED light. It's a long ways off from household use.
Non pillow personal objects? I remember trying to sleep one night with something poking in my back... I was really tired and didn't realize what I had been sleeping on until I realized it was a PCI SCSI card.
Are you serious about "investigations?" The copy of the movie was a copy of the film itself, including the header stuff, the timecode sync, and probably the handwritten name of the original recipient of the film, all at the very beginning! I can't believe the writer of the blurb even said "forensics." What a crock.
we're getting four times the normal number of hurricanes in a year -- and they are stronger, for the waters are warmer than they have been in centuries.
You need to check your numbers because you're very, very wrong:
You guys don't get it... this is wing warping done on a tiny, tiny scale, not on an human-carrying-scale. I'm a UF student and they fly these things across the street from where I live.
What happens if the seal is lost on the top portion? There should be positive pressure on the bottom side of the elevator so that if either the top or the bottom seal is lost, you don't go plummetting, especially on the 4-floor version. It's hard to say from the article if that's maybe how it works in practice... it doesn't specify.
All the pneumatic pumps I've used are maddeningly noisy. I hope this one's an exception.
I can see an e-mail to address book conversion utility being useful. There are some mass resume analyzation programs online that pull important information out of plain-text resumes and place them in the correct fields with great accuracy... I know because I used one to unsuccessfully find an internship for this summer.
Such a program that can pull relevant information out of an e-mail message, especially one with sigs in them, and place it correctly in an address book format sounds like a great add-on.
Gas is not a global commodity. Only a small percentage of countries around the world hold oil beneath their surface. They (OPEC) can control the rise and fall of gas prices.
Comparatively, I thought even high-quality memory was cheap compared to other components of a computer, especially since they usually run at higher clock speeds than the processor. That they were price-fixed comes at a bit of a surprise to me.
What does this mean for RAM prices in the near and far future?
Will OEMs keep prices where they are now and pocket the difference? Or will they lower prices?
Does anybody know if Intel avoided eBay final value fees by bypassing eBay on the want-it-now transaction thing? The want-it-now ad is gone from the eBay site.

If you enter their website traditionally, UPS requires that the user click the annoying "By selecting this box and the Track button, I agree to these Terms and Conditions." Google bypasses this. What are the legal ramifications of this bypass?
I had better not find myself jaywalking next time I go to Otakon, or else I might get shot on sight.
That's not funny. I've been arrested for running a red light... on my bicycle. I'm not kidding. Now I worry about crossing streets, driving cars, and even leaving the "security" of my own home. Why is it that I'm now afraid of the police forces that were assigned to protect the people in the first place???
From FTA: "Star Wars" or no, the diehards are resolute about keeping their line on Hollywood Boulevard.
"We've heard all this before," said Sarah Sprague, one of the designated spokesmen for the group. In 1999 and 2002, there were plenty of rumors (ultimately false) that the previous two pics weren't going to open at the Chinese.
You don't get the full 50 hp of a gasoline motor from 0 rpm. Most cars these days get their peak HP at around 4500 rpms, and the 50hp engine would start out at around 10 hp from 0 mph. So much for 100hp/30 sec.

Look here for the LED spectrum:

You may never know if Philips did this precisely to protect the world from forced ad viewing. A philanthropic effort at best!
lol no this is not a rootkit
I just got that from my school listerv. Yeah, it's definitely a sad one.
