where did i say it was the machine that did that? people keep responding to my post thinking i am sayin there is some corporate conspiracy.. i NEVER said that..
all i was doing was responding trying to point out that a problem does exist (as the parent of my orginal post deined a problem)
what concerns me most is that if it is so damned easy for them to screw up on accident.. then how will we ever know when does do it on purpose?
the zero votes thing just makes the situation painfuly obvious there is a problem.. BUT they didn't even bother to check the numbers before reporting.. it took people standing up and saying they voted for the man with zero votes for them to go back and look.
there is a problem - it can be human it can be machine it is more than likly a mix of both.. sure the machine alwasy does what it is designed to do.. BUT if someone can operate it wrong then god be damned they will - so you have to design the machine so that it can't even be operated wrong (hense why most conectors are desinged so they can only be inserted in one direction)
True, but showing 0 (zero) votes also makes it obvious that this was a mistake, not a conspiracy. If someone wanted to reduce the number of Ron Paul votes, or shift them to another candidate, they wouldn't make it so glaringly obvious.
I find it more likely that a stack of 31 paper ballots was overlooked while counting the multiple-hundreds of ballots stacks, than somebody trying to secretly alter the vote by removing _all_ of Ron Paul's votes. That being said, it could be that the person counting the vote is as annoyed by Ron Paul supporters as the rest of us, and did this just to screw with them. my point wasn't that someone did this on purpose this time.. what it does make painfly obvious is that if some one did want to cause it they could have. there very well could have been 32 votes set aside.. and no one would have been the wiser. they didn't even bother to check till people stood up and pointed out the obvious..
except for the fact that it was reported that someone got 0 (zero) votes.. when voters said they did vote for the guy. which tells you there is a problem.. how many votes for other people didn't get counted? where did the votes go.. did they give the votes to someone else??
showing 0 (zero) just makes it painfuly obvious there is a problem... what we need is to design an effective open system so that there are no errors, or a way that the public at large can be assured that their vote counted.
ahh but if anybody is able to see what any serail number voted.. what is to keep your boss asking you the day after what your serial # was? and then seeing if you voted his way?
the rainbow effect that i see seems to be static on the image - some see it move.. most don't see it at all..
hope fuly with this monitor and other ones that use LED instead of a color wheel as i stated for an example will reduce the rainbow effect.. but who knows as i personaly havn't had a chance to use them
sadly standard practice doesn't equal what happens in reality in alot of places.. the smaller the company the simpler the mistakes - and there are alot more small companies than large ones
first of all you are the 9th person to point out this out.. if you also noticed in response to several of them i noted..
all i was trying to do was to give an example of WHY the qouted.02ms response time isn't unreasonable - there where 30+ people saying it had to be a miss qoute..
the example is to show why you can't complare DLP to LCD in response time..
all my post was trying to do was explain why it is feasable for this thing to have such a low response time.. in the main thread there was 30+ people saying that it must have been a misqoute - i was just using an example of how DLP works - i under stand that LED DLP doesn't use a color wheel - and didn't really think everyone would point out that this thing is LED DLP
all i was trying to do was point out that it is perfectly possiable for them to qoute a.02ms response time
and if you are right about the 50kHz then.02ms is right on the money
this reminds me.. i remember auditing a few sites for peope.. it kills me when i see them using includes in iis.. and making all their files.inc's (which IIS will just spit back as plain text so you can read the code).. worst part is that they even have their db open include like that.. so hey look.. there is the username/password and address of the sql server.. wheeeee.. what fun..
I just don't have time to audit and fix all that crap. comments like this is why most places are vurable - where i work if we come accross a possiable security hole we stop what we are doing and figure out how long it will take and how many people we need to get it doen in a reasonable amount of time and that is what they do.
no offence but a BLOB is a binary long object.. sticking a javascript string to the end of a blob would do nothing more than make the file seem croupt (depnding on file type) of the data stored in the BLOB.. they stuck it at the end of text feilds
my whole point was to show WHY logicly DLP's have a much faster response time than LCD screens.. i understand that they are using LED DLP projection.. but people undertand a color wheel and speeds.. so by showing how DLP works in a normal projector i was atempting to show that they are faster.. not why this monitor is faster.. only showing that what was said isn't comletely unreasonable
actualy DLP chips have amazingly high responce time.. and being that the industry tends to measure responce time from gray to gray instead of white to black... i can very well see.02ms response time for the DLP chip.. but at that rate it is the color wheel that will be the limiting factor as the mirror can't reflect light that isnt' there yet.. if you think about how DLP works..
you have a grid of little onchip mirrors.. that tilt back and forth.. you have a color wheel that spins at high rpm and a blub shining throuhg it.. for a specific color to be shown the mirrors in sync with the wheel tilt to allow a certin amount of the light from the wheel through. if you have a color wheel going at say 10k rpm 3 colors in the wheel (more modern ones are using 6 and 12 color wheels to help prevent rainbow effect) each mirror has a color option 500 times a second wich means 2ms to switch from solid to solid with only a 3 color wheel.. but if you had say a green then it would be blue and yellow both and no for red. which means 2ms/3 mirror movements so.66ms responce time on the mirror.. now if you double the color wheel options you must increase the responce time.. by the same factor.. 6 color wheel =.33ms responce time 12 color wheel =.166ms response time..
while i will agree that.02 responce time is insane (providing use of a 64 color wheel) i am willing to bet that it is more like 0.2 ms responce time.. as 2ms would be a very plain cheep projector..
but DLP is by far better than LCD at responce time..
and whats not real about the 2600's graphics.. they ment to draw dots ont he screen and there they are.. anyone can do that..
now what i wnat is imaginable graphics - you know. where the image isn't real.. itis all in your imagination..
then we can jsut sell a black painted brick with a crome stripe to people and tell them to start playing and the imaginable graphics will knock them on their asses....
if they call and complain that it doesn't work then we inform them it is user error.. and that they need to kick start it.. providing they arn't whereing steal toed boots we can instuct them to toss it up in the air and put it like a football and *smack* a few broken toes.. and that sence of pain.. and if there lucky they would see the imaginable graphics.. (stars or what ever)
we could make billions.. maybe i could sell the idea to Sony.. it would be cheaper to produce than the PS3 and if we just sold none of them it would make them more money than the PS3 is doing...
i agree but from a personal perspective for UI i always try to look at is
-who is going to be using it and their relitive understanding of what is happening -what
-what is it that i am having to show the user
-what is it that they want to do -where (as in environment) is this going to be used? (sales register - production floor - pda on the go - person at random cube desk) -why is this application even existing what is it's true purpose
once you answer the w's you can then figure out the -how so that it meets what you want in the w's
also remember to include the users in the design.. their info is invaluable - as they are the ones that will decide if the app survives.. you will hate nothing more than to write something you like and think is wonderful only to see it sit idle or have people bitch all day about it
- also note that you learn from experience.. you will not get it right the first time..
i love it when i have dreams like that.. random mixs of information that form a story.. that can go for days . i even had one come back years later.. i spent the whole next day trying to remember the previous portions..
although i will admit it isn't fun having them get stuck in a loop.. if you have ever had that dream of alling.. well i did.. off of devils court house.. and into the piked trees.. over and over and over.. several times anight.. for almost a month.. i hated that dream so much that i didn't want to sleep....

you are right.. but there has always been scary looking cards.. (this is a modern example)
http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2005/05/12/broadcom-pci-e-pci-x-combo-sas-card
where you have 1 card and multiple board interfaces
i disagree..
first rip your eyes out (they will only cause more pain later if you leave them in and try and read yours/others code)
second - learn perl - and by learn.. i don't mean learn to read - or how to write - but really LEARN perl..
everyone i know that truly knows perl has had no problem finding jobs with good pay
sadly though.. once your in your stuck.. cause they woln't promote you cause your the perl guy.. the one of a few that truly know perl..
meaning.. don't make your tool/app look like my posts :)
sadly standard practice doesn't equal what happens in reality in alot of places.. the smaller the company the simpler the mistakes - and there are alot more small companies than large ones

more than likly that is the case.. it would make more sence to have the LED's provide the colors to eleminate the color wheel.
