That's hogwash. Everyone knows that the idea for XML came from the tablets of stone that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai. In these tablets were the beginnings of self-describing data. That alone was where the commandments of W3C was originally sent out to the world.
But only in the last decade have scholars used transformation style sheets and super-computers to find more declarative complex types, hidden in the original Hebrew CDATA. It is thought there are tens if not hundreds of specifications in these texts that may never have a finalized draft.
Progress has been slow, while the discovery of SOAP in the 1800's has made the hygiene of data possible, there much that has yet to be standardized. Considering the aging DTD schemas left from the era of King James, it will be crucial to the data-exchange of humanity to uncover more secrets of XML.
I was high on my Linux administrative powers and I had gotten the munchies. After preparing myself a bowl of Cocoa Penguin-Puffs in the kitchen, I opened the silverware drawer and saw something truely amazing. There it was, a knife and spoon forking. It blew my mind.
Since that experience, I've swore off compiling my own kernel.
In some jurisdictions in the world companies have to be careful about doing this because they give up parts of their exclusive ownership on the copyright of the work in question.
Wouldn't they only give up thier ownership and copyright for that particular episode? Seems like it would be worth it if the "leak" generated enough interested. Because if they go on to make 100 more episodes, they would own the copyrights all of those.
End the end though, if anyone else claimed ownership over the pilot episode, everyone would know that is false. Because it is obvious when 100 other episodes are generated by a different entity.
This reminds me of the great cheese-tax proposal of 1892. If the people didn't go for that then, they sure won't go for Internet tax now. Dairy Farmers United!
In all seriousness though, is this not just another use-tax case? How do they expect enforce that when states already have a hard time taxing physical goods bought over the Internet?
I know you were kidding, but I just wanted to say that this actually could lower the global temp. When I was a kid (90's) some mountain exploded in the Philippines and I read that the ashe released in the atmosphere lowered the global temp by a degree or two. The reason being, is it reflected radiation back out into space.
The only disadvantage of a projector is that it can be a little noisy - DLP chips get very hot and need a lot of cooling.
The lamps get hot, not the DLP chips. The lamp temp depends on the manufacturer just like the noise level of the fan used.
I agree about a good (even moderately good) DLP projector. I have a BenQ PB6200, does 1024x768. With my permenately tensioned DALITE screen, I paid less than $2000 for everything brand new even with cables.
It does HD too (granted slightly lower res than 720p) but it still looks better than SD. All in all, not a bad for a 105" TV than one can actually afford. I have a HD DVR from Time Warner that performs the tuning function for me.
In my opinion, it's not the noise, TV tuning, or even "rainbow effect" of projectors that is the problem. The problem is it is a lot of work to get something going that looks decent. Mounting, for the project, mounting the screen. Mounting curtains or something because the screen gets a bit washed out during the day. These are problems to me. But with a little effort and thought, they can be solved.
The attraction with LCD, is you just nail it up to the wall and call it done.
Uh, I think saying goes "Don't shit where you eat." Because usually where one lives, there is a toilet. Unless you are just one of those types that always goes over to your neighbors place to take a crap.
"Apparently, instead of installing the correct instruments in the Spitzer Infrared space telescope, we accidentally installed a universal TV remote control. Anyone would have mistaken this infrared source as a powerful infrared galaxy as we did. Coincidently this is our second
instrumentation mistake this week.
However, one of our mission objects was successful. As we now have the capability to force everyone on Earth to watch the NASA TV channel."
Wrong, I'm sorry... For a start HT allows multiple threads to run concurrently on a processor but those threads have to contend for processor resources (pipeline etc). At best you are going to get somewhere in the vacinity of 10% speed increase in the real world, especially for a CPU intensive app. It's going to be nowhere near double.
I must disagree. Because I have done benchmarks of SHA1 hashing. When hashing two things in two threads, I almost double my thoroughput.
Yes, the HT does share some resource like cache (not pipleline as far as I know) but for processing power there is a noticable difference over single threading on the same processor.
For example on the Intel HT processors, all I have to do is write my applications to use multiple threads for operations that are CPU intensive and voila! I have almost doubled the speed of my app. Otherwise, a single thread app will only use one of the cores.
Often, it's almost trivial to write an app as a multi-threaded app. The only difficult part is when a the problem your application is solving does not lend itself well to paralellization. So sequential problems don't really benefit from it.
However, this is almost always -something- that can be done in paralell. Even if the problem the app is solving is highly sequential, if you need to read the disk or anything, you can always implement look-ahead and caching code that runs in a different thread. Or whatever. Because it's rare you will just cruch numbers and not display it, require data, or send it across a network. Usually, the GUI itself will have it's own thread and benefit from a dual-core processor
Why doesn't he just use the EFF's private jet? I think the Digital Fantastic Four can take a break from "Defending Freedom in the Digital World" for awhile.
Besides, with the jet's invisibility capability, Gilmore would actually be able to maintain his precious anonymity.
But in this case these wireless networks are ran off of people's land-based broadband. Cable-modem broadband is provided by your cable company. DSL is provided by your phone company. Both are utility companies.
Sure, in some areas the cable or phone sells thier service to third parties. But as a consumer, all you are doing is buying a rebranded service.
Rebranding is the solution (if you want to call it that) to the problem. But if you are told you as a small entity can not offer wireless to your community, what else is that besides an anti-competitive stipulation?
I've been using hamsters as a random source for my cryptographic keys for some time now. Problem is, is that it's suceptible to attack by anyone using cats to drive brute force searching.
What I want to know is how the system reacts when a hamster dies. Because I didn't see any food or water in the device. Does the system play minor notes for awhile in reaction to the sadness of the other hampters?
Additionaly, If a snake was introduced would the music change to a faster and more "scary" melody due to the hamster's fear? Or if you put a male in and female together, would the result be Barry Manilow's "Let's get it on"
There is a whole array of scientific discoveries to be found in the realm of hamster-psychology and music.
Microsoft Canada's vice president of developer and platform evangelism encouraged 9th grade girls to head for an IT career...
While I certainly would love (pun intended) more women coworkers, I think they are starting a little young with 9th graders. I don't know how they do things in Canada, but we have laws here in the U.S.
Besides, how much could 9th graders really contribute to IT anyway, maybe Sponge-Bob drawings?
