  4. Re:The Slide-to-Unlock Claim, for reference on Apple: Dumb As a Patent Trolling Fox On iPhone Prior Art? · · Score: 1

    OK, what is that patent said 'on a white background', and the prior art has a black background. or the prior art happened to be on a 4:3 ratio monitor, while the patent specified 16:9 ratio screen?

    Does that make an actual, practical difference to the implementation?

    If the patent was 'shake to unlock', 'twist in midair 3 times to unlock' or something you couldn't do on an older fixed mount touchscreen, the fact it's on a handheld would be relevant; in this case, it is not.

    " since it doesn't show a hand-held electronic device,"

    that's just a narrowing down, it's still just a type of touch screen.

    Fun Fact, retail helium for recreational used is often salvaged from used 'pure' helium from MRI machines and such.

    None, because of Bundling lawsuits.

    The full set of tools for debugging multithreaded code is missing I believe; even phone have multicore CPU's nowdays, but virtually any desktop software for Windows (like most games, where the CPU power could be put to use) run on 1, or maybe 1+a fraction of a core.

    Sadly, I have a high dpi document scanner for which driver support ended with XP.

    My TV tuner cards also only worked up through XP, but they have no analog signals to receive now anyway; except I'd like to use them to digitize old VHS tapes.

    Is there any difference between a Black Hole/Singularity formed from Matter vs. Antimatter?

    Did galactic-sized magnetic fields push the antimatter into the supermassive black holes in their centers?

    If you're looking for something missing of the cosmic scale, black holes seem like a good place to look; although I suppose it'll also be the last place you look...

  23. Re:Personal Experiance on Study: Exposure To Morning Sunlight Helps Managing Weight · · Score: 1

    Just my personal experience, in any case, I wanted to simulate natural daylight as best as possible, since studies have shown that blue light is what triggers the circadian rhythm; it's also vital to not use the lights from early evening to bedtime if you try this.

    I guess I forgot to mention the cheap bulb holders (like this one http://www.hardwarestore.com/p... )

    I also wrote a program to adjust my video cards 'color temperature' setting depending on the time of day (but it only worked on XP)

  25. Personal Experiance on Study: Exposure To Morning Sunlight Helps Managing Weight · · Score: 1

    A few years ago I started using a couple plug strips each with 6 'daylight' florescent bulbs during the winter (in Seattle).

    Gazing into them for the 10-20 minutes of groggy 'just woke up' time gives me, personally, a boost through the whole day; followed by being able to fall asleep at a reasonable hour in the evening.

    ymmv, but if you suffer from chronic sleep schedule drift, I would recommend trying it. You don't need an expensive 'lamp system' Just be sure to get the blue-ish 'daylight' bulbs, not the reddish 'warm' bulbs.
