That would be an accelerometer, and you would need more than one to guide a missile. You would need three along with a couple of gyros and/or a magnetometer.
You can keep saying that to yourself as you scurry about to make sure all the curtains are closed and the lights are off. Sure projectors are awsome, but they need full darkness and can actaully be harder to place in some areas, when compared to a TV. They are greate for a home theater, but just about anywhere eles... forget about it.
No, it will still be valid. The purpose of a placebo is to figure out whether a drug will heal you better than if you were just told you were being healed. It doesn't matter what your body does when it thinks it is being given a drug, just the comparison between that effect and the effect of the drug in question.
I'll continue to purchase full featured tools from Dell... Man, the world is a whacky place these days
What's whacy is being on slashdot and buying a dell. Being here I assume you know at least a little about preformance and how AMD has both the overall and per dollar preformance advantage over Intel in most areas. You can save money and get better preformace if you build you own AMD box, then buy one from dell.
I hate when people bring up this kind of moral argument. By this logic instead of paying for the internet connection you are using, shouldn't you just feed the poor around you? Or give it to the local homeless shelter?
Why you're at you should probally just take every cent you don't spend on rent on food and send it to the UN. After all that last food program they had worked out real well didn't it...
The image is printed on the opposite side of the CD from where the data is burned. What you are thinking of is DiscT@2 which printed text and images on the area left on the data side of the CD after burning.
If you RTFA, you will find that at most it only uses about 128MG of system ram. It even preforms pretty decently too (with all the latest directX features on ).
Does that video give you the shivers. Not the bad kind but the good kind. The way it moves and checks out the environment looks very real. Very much like a young child looking around and trying to figure things out. I suppose the next trick is to give a weapon and have it search and destroy (as least once you get that running speed up to 18 kph).
Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's new space-tourism company, which has licensed Mr Rutan's technology, already has £800m ($1.5 billion)-worth of ticket reservations, though flights will not begin until 2007.
Thats right, at about $400,000 a flight that means about 3750 people have already signed up. That comes out to be 1875 flights of the yet to be built space ship ones. I think this is very impressive because even with a flight of ten ships flying 25 times a year (quite unlikely, becuase they will mostlikely have to be overhauled sometime) it will take seven and half years to get everybody up.
That is, if they stick with the 3 person spaceship. On the discovery channel special I saw Burt Rutan working on a 5 or 7 person ship too. This would make things much more reasonable.
The point is to show people who really don't know much about programming what you can do with it. Once they at least have a foot in the door a whole world of possiblities will open up. I also believe most people know IT jobs pay well, thats if you can one before it goes off to india...
There are, however, some. I don't think that a robotics competition is a good idea, however. I don't know about most schools, but at mine there are not a lot of people interested in robotics. Besides, it would take a lot of work, and a lot of the most brilliant people are inherently lazy.
I don't think that's completely true. To a lot of people programming is very abstract, and they don't really see the benefits. Something like BotBall (http://www.botball.org/) will show them what they can do when they learn a language and will give them reward for the work they put in. Once they learn some basic programming skills they can have their robot running around in some cool repeated patterns (figure eights, squares). After that they can even program in things like object avoidance or tracking.
Then you can have those kids give a fair of their robot demonstrate its ability of a botball board. Not only with stimulate interest in computer science it will stimulate interest in Engineering.
Disclaimer: I did and very much enjoyed BotBall during the Junior and Senior years of high school. Its why I am now majoring in Engineering.

Wasn't this the planet X we heard about?

On that ring you could then place ram jet in order to maintain position around the sun.

That would be cool if only that pesky photo din't get absorbed ;)

That looks like a drive that is way too big to fit in a laptop.

That is only half the networks, msnbc has (269/238) and foxnews has (269/242).
