I certainly do not want to be developing the same common hardware implementation for a FPGA over and over and over again. Give me something the code for something that works and let me get to the stuff that is unique to the project.
No one was hurt, so whats the big deal? If anything, this is a good thing, because PayPal has to fix their building and the bomber gets satisfaction. Both sides get what they deserve. Next stop, the phone company...
I for one am probably speaking for 99.9999% of the population when I say are you freaking nuts? No one deserves to have their lives even remotely threatened by some random idiott.
Shouldn't be too difficult to find the culprit, just look for someone extremely dissatisfied with their service.
Here we go. We should look for someone extremely dissatisfied with there service and recently bought the parts to make a bomb. That should narrow it down.
It's not like we are entirely being deprived of Zelda 3. Just pick it up from a Best Buy for the GBA at $19.99. All of Nintendos classics are being priced like that except for a few.
Why so little features? I'd want something more advanced.
I worked at EInk around the same time this phone was being developed. The main reason why I was told it has so little features was that it's being marketed as a substitue for land lines in certain parts of the world. I actually got to see the phone a while back and it's pretty impressive at how small and cheap this type of technology has become.
Rectify the output of a transformer directly to provide pulsating DC (100Hz Europe, 120Hz US.) This is the LED bus.
Now why are you powering the LEDs with the pulsating DC? I know no one is going to notice the flashing because the frequency is too fast. Im a engineering student who only just recently figured out how a walwart works and why its so heavy.
The problem is that statisically it's nice to say that 30% does not make a majority but Im sure that spreads changes from website to website. Imagine looking at the statistics for a Linux website. The majority there better not be IE.
Uuuh... OK. Looks like a cheap gimmick to me. I predict that this will be what sinks Nintendo. I personally think it's going to one of the biggest flops in gaming history. I'd put hard money on that, in fact.
No offense but the Wii's control system in some ways can almost be thought as the same type for the DS so much so that Trauma Center and WarioWare has it's own version for the Wii. The wand is the substitue for the stylus. The DS was seen as a cheap gimmic but see where it is now. Couple that with a great lineup as opposed to crapticular for the DS and well you are going to loose.
They are just too annoying to program that it's probably easier to build a robot especially when dealing with unideal situations. An ultrasonic sensor can have so many different modes of failure (ie Specular reflection. Sheets. Cross Talk. Etc. Etc. Etc.) that it's better just to use an actual robot.
First, it's not YouTube anymore, it's Google. Second, Google runs a profitable global business which requires it to run offices around the world. These offices operate under local law. The local office, therefore, would be required to get a "broadcaster license."
Just recently, the Brazilian justice asked Google Brazil to delete a few hate speech Orkut communities and to produce personal data for a few Orkut members involved in hate crimes. Google Brazil refused, claiming that it had no control over the data, which was stored in the US. Eventually, Google complied. If it had not complied, it's Brazilian office could have been shut down for refusing to obey a court order.
I fear that a measure similar to the one mentioned in the article could be implemented in Brazil, too. We are about to re-elect an authoritarian president who loves press control and propaganda.
Here is a better question. Do I need a license if Im operating in the US?? The problem with the internet is that it's a jumbled mess of interconectivity.
cameras and papers does not constitute any diminishing factor to your power over your governments.
the nazi genocide was a reality, so it doesnt matter if there is a law against disbelieving it or not.
what is important is that, european bureucracy consist of people more susceptible to people than the big money circles, despite the situation in united states. you have much more chance.
Until you realize that large groups of people can be idiots also. Those fundimentailists that everyone complains about in the United States dam well managed to get the police to "monitor" her performance in Germany.
For instance, if you have an idea for a better search engine than Google wouldn't you be glad that Google already exists and has proven the idea to the world? I mean, if I had an idea for a better search engine, I imagine it would be very easy to attract VCs who missed out on Google by telling them I had a better engine and needed money. Assuming I could actually demonstrate the superiority of my software, I imagine I could get a LOT OF MONEY really quickly because Google already exists and has proven the concept.:)
Actually, that happened all ready with delicious. The concept was a radical departure from Google or Yahoo because it organized websites based on user tags. There was no competition to delicious because it was mainly driven based on technology. The creater of delicious said," You have to solve a problem that people actually have. But it's not always a problem that they know they have." It's an interesting corrundum because a product can be successful without being a radical departure (Ie Ipod) but if you hit upon a device that techologically radical then you will be rich. Another such example was the Rhoomba. Everyone thought that the Rhoomba was going to be a flop. VC's wouldn't even give them money. Guess what??? You can now buy Rhoomba's in Target.
The problem with knowing what customers want is that more than likely everyone else knows what they want also. You are garenteed that everyone is going to want your product but you will end up with a lot of competition. The other side of the spectrum is that you end up developing a highly innovative product where there is no competition. The problem with that methodology is that if you do in fact go that route there will be no competition but little certainty in how much sales you would make.
The main problem is twofold. The human hand is complicated and we dam well lack any decent actuators. The human hand has a lot of degrees of freedoms. Our fingers can move a remarkable amount of ways. Now you have to realize that there aren't any actuators that can operate like muslces in small spaces without either taking up space or be bulky. Anyway the solution isn't going to come from a robotics person but a materials science.
They have the stpuidest ad campaign and PC World described it best as buy as much crap as they can. They bought the naming rights to a monkey. A freaking monkey for $600,000. On the one hand it is good for the monkeys because it's going to help them. On the other hand why???
Ugggg..... Read the homeland security website
on
The Self-Modifying EULA?
·
· Score: 4, Informative
. Now even Homeland Security is on my back to upgrade and install a fix.
Well there not really on your back to install the fix. It's just the simplest solution for the vast majority of people. If you are not the vast majority read the freaking website on how to plug up the holes. The DHS does in fact post more than one way to ensure you computer is secure but closing up the holes. Of course with the number of holes you will be bashing your head up against the wall. It depends on your stuberness. Here is an interesting question though. Are then infact changing the EULA or just giving you another one for the patch. Im not hip to the jive of the Microsoft's EULA.
The cynical side of me also says that some department in the United States got hacked into. They do say that the exploits were being used but dont go futher.
Best of all, they are insisting that LAPTOP COMPUTERS have to be in checked baggage. None may be in carry ons. I think they're happily giving out clear plastic bags to hold them. Of course, as always the luggage cannot be locked lest the TSA not be able to search.
Well. It's a great idea irregardless of terrorism issues. There are enough laptops that have literally gone up in flames that I'd feel safer if they weren't in the cabin.
Unfortunately, they had to get rid of that design feature because of safety concerns. But Im pretty sure it should be fairly easy to reimplement that feature because the robosapiens are pretty hacker firendly. Also, Wowee recently licensced the Segway technology for their new robots.
Heh.. I just checked my spam emails and after five minutes of searching I discovered they aren't just using Gutenburg. The names were specific enough in three of the emails that I actually tracked the book down on amazon. Don't know why they are doing it because if the filters are designed to get rid of emails using leet speak then it won't work. url:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553096125/10 3-9215097-8515856?v=glance&n=283155

I've pointed this out before. There are weird statistical anomolies that should show that Alexa's webratings are not perfect. Take a look at this data for Slashdot and Digg. The traffic ratings both shoot up withing a s short amount of time. It just doesn't make much sense. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details? &range=2y&size=medium&compare_sites=www.digg.com&y =r&url=www.slashdot.org#top

Look at the example that the article provided. You Tube. It's located in the United States. What about myself??

I'd figure I would post this for two reasons. One it just sounds cool and it's related to the discussion. Unfortnately, it seems like we have a long way to go to completely replace a human muscle.- armwrestling.htmr ah/the-human-opponent.htm
