This is not a iMini killer. It's a SFF desktop replacement that can outperform high-end desktop systems (P4, A64). The gaming performance with 2MHz Pentium M is impressive and the 2MB L2 cache truly shines there. This would be a perfect LAN party machine.

It is, indeed, a box. With buttons and connectors. How observant of you.
The whole "art" of graphology is no different from palmistry, reading of tea leaves or pulling out the entrails of small animals for mysterious insights. Basically telling lies and lucky guesses.
Of course telling something of a famous person is easier, because most people already have some kind of preconception of him/her. All the "reader" has to do is strengthen those preconceptions and he/she can't say anything wrong.
This happens because the earth rotates and causes blurring on the stars that stay "fixed" in the sky. The effect can be seen easily with long exposures, in this case 2 minutes.
There is even photographs with a few hours of exposure and the stars make long arcs across the sky.
Well, at least it's not "free" advertising now. The seller might not appreciate the hotlinking after seeing the bandwidth bill.

There are sunlight-operated stills that are a kind of small inflatable dome tent with transparent top. Sunlight heats the salt water in the bottom, which evaporates the (relatively) clean water to the ceiling and condenses it into drinkable water.
The capacity for filtering is not too great but it would keep you alive in a tight spot. If I remember right some emergency rafts have this kind of units. I don't see how this would not work in a desert too,.

The mars photos look great and are large resolution, because they are composite pictures. The rovers hardly move at all and have lots of time to stand still taking photos.
It will be a bit harder to do high quality composite photography when the capsule is falling through alien atmosphere on a parachute into a sea of methane.
I get ringing noise in my ears sometimes, less frequently now that I've started to actually protect my hearing actively.
I learned this thing somewhere and it works for me sometimes - When I start to get that ringing noise I can concentrate and make it go away. Usually I imagine the source of the ringing in my head and in my mind I "squeeze" the source until it goes away.
It can be hard at first, but I usually can control it pretty well, or at least make it less audible so it doesn't bother me that much and when I forget about it it usually goes away too.
I believe the brain just filters out the noise, but the trick is how to tell your brain to do that.
Number theory Trolls are usually thought to be so stupid they can count only up to 4. [...] In fact, trolls traditionally count like this: one, two, three... many, and people assume this means they can have no grasp of higher numbers. They don't realize that many can be a number. As in: one, two, three, many, many-one, many-two, many-three, many many, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, many many many, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, LOTS.
Bah! I only use alternative medicine! Those people don't have to prove that anything works! In fact, when proven that it doesn't work, it doesn't change a thing!
Oh, and the doctors on those fields don't even have to be graduated from any school, so there's no risk of losing the title, either.
MTV3 is (one of) Finnish commercial television stations. M comes from "mainos" (=commercial) and when commercial television was separated from the two national channels it was given the channel number three. Hence, MTV3 - Commercial TeleVision channel 3.

Too bad that they are not exactly cheap and generally suck at floating point performance (ie. 3D rendering).
So now we just need the porn industry to back blu-ray and we are all set!
The James Randi Educational Foundation just had a mention of graphology in it's latest newsletter.

As Penn & Teller would say - Bullshit!
Just like you can have a MiniDisc writer on your PC, right?
Really though, if a burner exists a mod chip will be coming soon that will bypass any copy protections.
