Dobs are NOT about high magnification. They're for looking at large very dim objects (galaxy, globular clusters, etc.). Those are at relatively low mag that doesn't require a lot of bumping of the scope to track an object.
For surveyors, GPS basestations + roamers used for surveying are in the $10,000+ dollar range, and you don't replace them every few years.There's always going to be significant amounts of "old" (and old in terms of the 2-year churn for mobile phones) GPS equipment being used by the folks who need extremely high levels of accuracy.
Dragoon, what was your name in Sturmgrenadier?
I'm the recruitment officer for SG Planetside, and when I saw our name appear on a slashdot comment, I was surpised:)
That indeed is a fine piece of work. The amount of fabrication that went into it is impressive. I'm waiting to see how he finished the side panel with all of the columns on them.
There's two other games? All I could find on the Net was the movie (Advent Children) and Crises Core. (Maybe I couldn't find anything else because I can't read japanese results)
Ballmer also defended a comment made earlier this year by Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, who said security will not be an issue in three years. "If (that) was something we weren't shooting for, no one should come to this keynote. Whether that statement will come to be true or not remains to be seen. But it expresses Bill's fundamental optimism," he said.
What are they smoking, seriously? Security won't be a problem in three years? How long have they had the trustworthy computing initiative? Security will ALWAYS be a problem as long as
1. There are crackers out there
2. Companies put profit and meeting the deadline in front of releasing a good product with secure code.
I'm wondering when they'll realize that putting out good and secure code = profit. In the long run, releasing crappy products but meeting their marketing deadlines will cut into profits.
I think its a good thing that they are finally extending the story from one of their more popular games. The ending to FFVII was so ambiguous, that its practically crying for another story to tie up the loose ends. Now, if Square tried to make a sequel outta something like FFVIII, then I might disagree, but this is probably the best thing they could have done for the story of FFVII.

This kind of problem is solved by something called a suitability analysis.... and its been in textbooks teaching GIS since at least 2005.

You wanna make that scan result accurate?
Replace the word "Mozilla" with "Internet Explorer" and the warning will be pretty damn accurate.
