You stupid ignorant motherfucker. That money being paid is for your own stupid ass self if you get fired. That's right, you only get unemployment benefits according to what you put in.
You must have been thinking of the pyramid scheme known as social security.
Actually paint behaves more like the sub-dermal scattering techinique on/. a while ago. [Lossy brain algorithm decompressing old files...] White paint is typically composed of a clear gel with titanium dioxide particles mixed in. So when light shines on a painted surface the light particles enter the medium and get scattered within the medium, most being re-emitted out of the painted surface. Hence they "warm glow" of a quality painted wall. And also why a rendered image of a room always seems so unsatisfying, the texture map on the walls so harsh and oddly wrong.
I long ago lost any links talking about this. If you find any, post them.
Get some chop sticks or other small stick, tape a grid appropriate to the pictures your scanning onto the scanner. THe goal is that you should be able to drop a picture into each spot and have it constrained. THen get the convert command from Imagemagick and use the
-crop widthxheight +-xoffset +- yoffset
or somthing like that. Figure out what it should be for the tapped down grid, and make it a script to auto slice all your scanned images.
yes. Don't do that. Why would you want to give feedback to the spammers? They'll just sit there and tweak their message until it is no longer blocked.
Besides who are you going to send the error to? The reason spam is hard to stop is because it doesn't have a return address. The server sending it is just a parasitized host.
A more effective option would be to DoS anything in the spam. That may also mean hooking a phone to your computer so that you can call any telephone numbers in the spam.
Where the hell have you been? If you're that pissed about that, don't ever buy a Disney flick. The rest of us have learned to pop the disc in long before we want to watch it, that way it will always be sitting waiting at the play button. Kinda tivo-ish with commercials eh? The next lawsuit will be the movie people requiring that whenever the dvd is playing that the image must be shown on the tv screen with the volume non-zero.
Probably something like, it'll cost me a $100K to go with AIM + a continual ongoing fee like leasing software, or $0 to have jabber company wide. Money matters. Especially something that adds to the everyday operating costs.
Actually they would. First they could optimize all their fabs to produce only this chip. Second all of their competitors would go out of business. Third they could fire all of their staff, who's going to compete with them? We don't need no innovation. Fourth the remaining ceo and essential staff would barely have to work anymore. When the day finally comes that everyone has a 40 GHz processor they can retire on the shit loads of cash they made in the meantime.
film grains or dye clouds in slides have a finite size that is definitely larger than the pixels in todays modern CCD cameras
I have doubts about this. Resolution of something like Velvia is still higher than resolution of contemporary CCDs, although they are getting there.
I believe he was referring to the size of the particles in the film medium in comparison to the bin size of a pixel in a ccd camera. The reason why film will still give a higher resolution is because you can manipulate the zoom level along with the physical size of the film, thus reducing the effects of the particles.
A concrete example would be a film size of 8in x 11in which produces a print 1:1. That would kick any ccd's ass in terms of resolution.
No, mc6809e is right. What cameras do is to bascially interpolate the image to get the size they say it is. The resultant image may appear to be 1600x1200 rgb pixels but some of the information in it is redundant (i.e. faked). The true resolution, the ability to resolve a fine detail will always be limited to the resolution of the CCD. This is Shannon's law of sampling.
Unfortunately ccd specs are deceptive. That so called megapixel rating is not always an rgb pixel. A typical ccd is composed of discrete cells that are tuned to one of the colors. So you have an array of red, green, or blue cells. Manufactures usually just add the number of cells up and call it megapixels. The ratio of r to g to b cells is not equal either.
I've actually wondered about this. The simple version is if you look at e=mc^2, then all you need for something to move faster than the speed of light is a particle with less mass than a photon. This would then become the "nothing can travel faster than the speed of light" phrase with the assumption that nothing is lighter than a photon.
Actually both:quit and:exit quit vim. Why is that hard? In a pinch ctrl-Z will at least get you out of vim too. You're like the creationist that screams "evolution is as likely as a tornado blowing through a junkyard and producing a 747". You don't see me criticizing emacs simple because I never use it and therefore know nothing about it.
If someone is repeatedly running vim, editing a single file, then quitting, they're using vim incorrectly. Ctrl-Z works instantly and retains your position within the file. It's a simple fg to get back to it. So how is that "fundamentally different"?
The only good advice I've seen here so far is from onomatomania.
Don't bother using linear regulators. They are cheap and all but they perform their down-conversion by basically burning off the extra voltage, i.e., no saving of power. You typically need heat sinks. If you stuffed it into a film canister it would probably slag over time/catch fire. The equation from onomatomania seems reasonably correct, I've never looked at what it really is. I would suspect there's an additional diode voltage drop to account for too.
Any talk of wasting power due to line loss associated with DC is crap because you're only going to be running about 6ft of wire. Cheap 12 gauge automotive wire is more than adequate for most devices.
You would not want to use a "vampire" tap whatever that is. A power distribution bus is much easier and more efficient. The quality of the connection is important. Avoid crimping connectors. Solder everything.
leak power back into the regulator? I'm not sure what that means. you should have diodes protecting from connecting the juice backwards. And some hefty surge suppression since a car's voltage swings a lot.
It's bascially impossible to tell you how to do everything correctly. You need either a book detailing everything or someone to model your system after. Maybe a RV setup or better yet, check out the solar rigs since those off-the-grid people are understandably fanatical about power loss. You won't find your answer here.
Yeah, the power system in a car is NOT filtered. The actual range is 12VDC to about 14.1VDC when running. Spikes and lags are common when starting the car or doing anything which modifies your electrical load drastically. You'll definitely want a UPS-style system that does 12VDC to UPS'd 12VDC.
This is not informative. The poster is asking specifically if there are power savings to be had by avoiding the 12VDC to 120VAC to 5,9,12,20VDC process and instead using a DC-DC transformer to go directly from 12VDC to 5,9,12,20VDC as needed.
All the above "Informative" post says is "Duh like dude yeah, plug that baby into the cigarette lighter dude. and yeah like dude, plug it into the AC plug too. Like noooo problem."
I would think some benefits would be that by not using the typical AC power bricks you'll avoid the continuous drain that they cause. For some devices it can be a considerable quantity. Sloppy design I guess. I'm not sure how some of the latest tech in DC-DC converters works but I would expect there to be less electrical intereference generated too. Helpful if you're parked near a wifi point, just don't run the microwave.
Another issue is that some devices want low power AC for odd reasons. In those cases it may be possible to find a 12VDC to 9VAC converter that would run cooler (waste less).
Are you really saying that instead of simply fixing the software drivers, you should get a second high end computer capable of capturing video at real time rates? Man are you that stupid or just trolling badly?
An easy way to convince someone that (2) is true is that it takes considerable effort to make a smart person. You are either born with the neural goo to be really smart or you are not. Losing intelligence on the other hand is very easy. If you don't believe me then smack your head against the wall. Thus there is a nonzero probability that you will get really fscking stupid at some point in your life but a zero probability that you'll wake up tomorrow smarter than Einstein.
Uhh... no. You have made an assumption, that is why you are wrong. Your assumption is on the definition of average. An alternate definition is the point at which half the people are below and half the people are above. Another mistake that you made is that it is possible to have two or more people with truly identical IQ's. (Never mind the fact that IQ scores are from an artificial test.) Thus the average IQ would be somewhere in your group of 7's, but since the numbers have severe quantization errors it is impossible to tell exactly who is on which side of the average line.
To boost topham's argument it should be noted that some common everyday herbs are lethal. Saffron, the "yellow rice" spice is considered lethal in quantities of several grams. Combine those types of spices with Americans more is better attitude and you'll die.

So in other words, e=mc^2 = 0*c^2 = 0, a photon has zero energy...
