How about a gyro stabilized gimbal camera that a second operator monitors, and one forward facing wide-angle camera for the remote pilot? Idealy the camera would be independant of vehicle motion.
If possible, put a system in so that, coupled with GPS, and a second reading (from a different angle), they can pinpoint the exact position of something on the ground? You know, for goodies like cruise missles/smart bombs (instead of actually getting someone close enough to laser designate)
Well, I know the xbox3 is coming, and the PS3 is coming. But I hadn't heard anything about a next gamecube, so rather than assume that one was on the way I gave myself some room there.
Like I said, we shall se what happens. It should be full of interesting events. I, personally, hope MS and Sony both bomb it, even though I love both systems. I just hate those two companies through principle.
This was the last thing i would expect. Nintendo and Sony are based out of Japan, and MS from USA. I would have expected the GC2 (if it happens) and PS3 to be ultra-popular in Japan while the US (maybe UK?) goes for the XBox2.
Now what would be funny is if the guy added a laser pointer to it's forhead that he could fire during pictures. Use one of the green ones, it'll show up well in the water.

Nope. I've seen it hundreds of times, but never used it because i didn't know what it meant.

So are you saying C/C++ are obscure? Er, did I miss something? Then again, maybe I shouldn't have even bothered replying to flamebait. (GNAA is troll, parent was an opinion)
Think you were confused? I was pretty confused when someone bought me a 1000 page subscription (like $5) and I started getting mysterious future stories, and the "No Subscriber Bonus" checkbox. I even mailed Taco about it (he told me what happened - i thought the database glitched:P)
Then i got my karma bonus thing (which is checked atm), and that confused me even more (it happened later that day). I was _really_ confused.
Actually once you get past the initial impact, its just another image. And, if you are the kind of person that pokes at dead things with sticks, you may even go further out of curiosity (i mean morbid facination, not linking goatse to dead things)
So, does this mean that you have an "orb" that the head moves around on? I really don't see how we can do this without introducing MORE moving parts to break.
They should really put their energy into something more solid (ie less movement). Reliability is most important. I don't care if I have 30TB of space if I have to replace drives every week.
You have a point. They tend to have a glare, and don't really light up the area around them.
I can see where you are coming from as well, I've seen the night sky from the air above the clouds. It's amazing. I could even see a couple satilites (slow moving, steady heading bright dots - cross the sky in say 2-3 minutes).
Of course, a lot of that also happens to be light reflecting off of the ground. In both cases.
Figure out a way to light the roads without reflecting light off of them, and you have solved the issue.
And, to the parent, (not you, hey!), if you can't find korea on a globe map, you are in trouble. Find the bottom end of Japan, and look to it's immediate west.
I find that very irritating myself. But me, well, I happen to use 16 character alphanumeric/symbolic passwords. From memory. No password safes, no postits, or cheatsheets. I would say you're more likely to catch me with my pants down than to crack my passwords (and, being a linux newb - I'm probably an easy target)
The worst thing is those stupid "security code" applets that use all kinds of tricks to make the image hard to read. I don't really mind the clean ones, but when I can't tell the difference between a G and a 6, or a 9 and a g...
Middle clicking is a little hard to do on a two-button touchpad. At least in my case. Since I don't like the emulate3buttons thing (my first button has some inconsistancy issues, so i use tapping for that) it can get irritating.
As it is, im pissed i can (with synaptics driver) turn off vertical scrolling, but not horizontal scrolling (which some programs interpret as "freakout and move crap around while deleting randomly" while mozilla sees "back/forward 30something times". I don't even use it, but when i try to start a mouse movement from the bottom area of the pad and go left/right (anything but directly up really) it triggers.

It doesn't need to be that big to do that. A little bit if primer cord lining will do the job, i think.
Wow. Holy not thinking Batman!
Now I feel like a moron!

What does IIRC stand for anyways?

Yes, you can mandate that users can only choose strong passwords.
Windows 2000 and up, go into the Local Security Policy (in mmc). Look for "Require Strong Password" (or similar, its been a while).
Why nobody uses it, I don't know.
whoops, I mean the linux-gamers link, not the other ones.
Latest DX9 Features? I think not. Not all of them anyways.
Notice the page linked to states that pixel shaders and vertex shaders are not supported, and neither are stencil buffers.
Here I was with my hopes up.

Webcam or not, look at it from the side and it will still break the illusion... not that it wouldn't be interesting anyways :)
I would probably end up turning it off to save CPU cycles or battery life anyways, though.
What does that word mean anyways?
:D
I know, ive probably (further) doomed my address to spams.
Oh well... I have some 30 odd invites
DON'T DO IT.
Tubgirl.
You have been warned twice.
nothing from gnaa@grafedia.net though, suprisingly.
Oh, forgot to mention. The same site has something very similar that makes Photoshop (version 3 through 8) load faster. Does the same kind of things.
Both programs have a "restore" button if you ever want to undo what it did.
Sure. Its begware (asks you to buy every time you quit it). Product name is "PDF SpeedUp" at http://www.acropdf.com/
Some of the other programs are nice, but if you can export to PDF with ghostscript, you don't need them.
Isn't running gentoo like running beta anyways? (i am in gentoo, i should mention)
Half the crap i use on my windows station happens to be beta/alpha as well. Nothing wrong with using betas.
