It certainly wasn't always that way, and CNN didn't build up its viewership with trash like that Talkback Live shit or Connie Chung, the worst newscaster on TV. Those of us who remember the Gulf War know why CNN got serious respect back in the day for being on the scene and having the best, most up-to-date coverage of Operation Desert Storm. Of course, I don't think they did much in the way of explaining why the Gulf War was going on, but then again I was 11 years old, so perhaps I just don't remember the more political end of the discussions.
But I do agree that there is no longer any decent cable news channel - CNN sucks these days and Fox News is worse, though I will watch Aaron Brown on CNN and the occasional 10 minutes of Headline News when I'm too tired to browse the web. Think there's a market for a more deeply introspective, serious cable news channel that actually does cater to the more intellectual in our society? Naaah, who am I kidding.:)
Or you could note that "mathematics" is NOT plural in Latin, and therefore when shortening/abbreviating it, keeping the s makes little sense, since it was never truly plural to begin with. QED, mother fucker.
A) Apparently my estimate is close, since Logitech says about 40 pages at a time.
and
B) I believe that the entire "map" is described as 60,000,000 sq.km. of dots varied by page, so it obviously ISN'T stored locally on the pen, and the pen must store the local dot coordinates to the camera position.
Well, the "pictures" if you think about it really only need to track where the dots are in the local camera scope. So they probably would only need a few 10s of bytes per snapshot, if the local dot coordinates were stored. Hopefully, though, the pen should contain the "map data" to determine coordinates from the local dot locations (i.e. the interpretation of the local dot patterns is on-board on the pen), so you only need to store an x and a y for each snapshot.
Figure 10 snapshots per character written for decent resolution. Even if we figure the pen had 8 megs of some solid state storage built in, that could store an awful lot of writing in either case (80000 characters, assuming 100 bytes total per character written). That's more notes than you are going to take in quite a few of those organic chemistry lectures.
Because it doesn't store what you write per se. It has a miniature camera that tracks the microscopic dot pattern on their proprietary digital paper, and uses the location of the surrounding dots to exactly identify its coordinates over time. So it really stores a sequence of coordinates, which it then dumps to PC, which reconstructs the lines connecting the tiny coordinate "snapshots" and results in writing.
I can certainly imagine ways of doing that that DON'T require digital paper. Either this was the easiest way to implement it (unlikely) or they saw that the real margins for this market are in selling digital paper on an ongoing basis (much more likely).
But then, with postmodernism, you can't really tell the hoaxes from the honest nonsense.
Hmm, I actually think this is part of the point of postmodernism. Postmodernism goes beyond just recognizing that truth is inscrutable and rejecting absolutism of ethics, aesthetics, and knowledge, and embraces the subjectivity of everything. In fact, some postmodernists seem to think that knowledge and reality are DEFINED by language games, i.e. who spins the best bullshit (apparently this derives from Wittgenstein).
So you see, the nonsense and the hoaxes aren't truly discernible to the postmodernist, and a true postmodernist would likely reject the very idea that a hoax is a meaningful concept. Anyway, I find it all to reek of bullshit after spending 4 years in college debating with my fellow students who majored in subjects like Social Studies (which included a heavy dose of postmodern theory) about whether these concepts were meaningful.
My general conclusion is that concepts that do not lead us any closer to understanding or interacting with the world in a productive manner and that lead to liberal arts students becoming unshaven, unshowered nihilists are just as bad as things that lead computer science students to become unshaven, unshowered Counter Strike addicts or code monkeys.
I fair entirely to see how this is common sense. While I don't disagree that perhaps an amendment to the ADA to define more specifically the rights of the disabled with respect to online information access, there is clearly plenty of jurisprudence regarding the interpretation of existing legilative and judicial precedent in the online world to make a go at it with respect to the ADA. Establishing that the ADA held with respect to handicapped accessibility to websites does not in any way impede Congress' ability to pass legislation on the same topic in the future, and would be a reasonable, consistent interpretation of existing legislature with respect to commercial establishments that operate both in the real world and on the web.
The fact is the DMCA has done more harm than good for the vast majority of the online community. And the DMCA truly does nothing to "define how Copyright functions in cyberspace". Rather, it removes many previously established rights that citizens had with respect to copyrighted information that they had legal access to (i.e. fair use, first sale doctrine, limited time copyright, as established by legislation and judicial precedent), as well as squelching academic speech with respect to important technologies like encryption.
Frankly, I don't believe that getting extremely technical in judicial decisions or in legislation is a good idea at all, frankly, since technology moves too fast anyway. If we have to legislate now how HTML 4.0 compliant text should be presented, will we have to legislate in the future how SVG should be presented? Don't you think a bit of judicial commonsense and a bit of accomodation by businesses to the existing ADA legislation by making normal HTML compliant web pages as a fallback for accessibility make everybody happy?
I won't turn this into an ad hominem attack, but frankly, I think the parent post was modded up because the poster has "Dr." in front of his name rather than any particularly insightful commentary.
Getting an LCD saved my eyes and spared me many headaches from long days of screen staring. I can spend 8-10 hours in front of an LCD a day and not have a serious headache in the evening - even with a 75-85Hz refresh, I can't say the same about even the best (Trinitron) monitors I have used (well, I can go for a few days, but after a week or two of intense screen staring, I get the headaches and general eye fatigue/strain problems again).

LCD Round-up

Agreed 100%. The VA800 does rock, both for games and text-heavy activities (coding, writing, etc. all of which I have been known to do). Crystal clear text.
I don't for the life of me understand the screen measurements of LCDs vs. CRTs - they aren't even remotely comparable. The VA800 17.4" LCD has almost an identical amount of screen real estate to my Dell Trinitron 19" CRT monitor sitting by desk (on the floor until I get a dual head card). I measured the diagonal, and the Dell is about.2" longer than the VA800, and you get a perfect, flat image that uses the entire viewable area on the VA800 every time.
Those complaining about ghosting - I don't really see it, even in high speed 3D games (CounterStrike, etc.). My only quibble (and it may just be me) is that ClearType seems to not look that good on this monitor under Win XP. Honestly, the text looks great at native 1280x1024 resolution with standard anti-aliasing (i.e. no anti-aliasing for normal 10-12point fonts), and it doesn't give me a headache like ClearType does after a long day of screen-staring. Is this a feature of the LCD or a feature of my brain?
Sigh, I was by no means trying to imply that there was anything particularly innovative about ClearType - subpixel rendering, as you mention, has been around for years apparently. Obviously, OS X beat them to putting it in a consumer OS. But the point is that the thing called "ClearType" is MS's specific implementation of sub-pixel rendering, so when I say "Microsoft's new ClearType font smoothing" I simply mean to imply that I enabled an option after installing Windows XP that had never been there in earlier versions of Windows and that had strange unintended health consequences for myself.
Ya know, Microsoft's new ClearType font smoothing was largely created to make reading ebook content more pleasant, by supposedly giving a 2-3 times greater effective resolution for text rendering on LCD screens, making the experience of reading on an LCD closer to that of reading on paper.
The problem is that though ClearType looks great subjectively it gives me a massive headache on my 17" ViewSonic VA800 LCD screen if I leave it on for a day or two of heavy computer use, even after I "tuned" it. I haven't set it up on a PDA and tried reading a Gutentext or other ebook because of that (well, and cuz I got rid of my PocketPC device and am back to a Clie for now... doh).
Luckily there are still some immediate options if you are one of the many who *know* about Project Gutenberg etexts (for those of us whose taste in books, e- and otherwise is somewhat antiquated) but have never actually *read* one due to their well, umm, rather plain text look and feel. In particular GutenMark should do the trick. So download a couple of GutenTexts and GutenMark them into PDF/PS and you have something you might not exactly be able to curl up with, but at least it's readable.
There's likely to be only one chance to get a new bill passed to amend CARP. Not two or three bills. What happened here was a group of the midsized webcasters turned coat on the small webcasters. Now, I'm not qualified to say what the rate schedule should be, but I can recognize a good backstabbing when I see one.
If those midsized webcasters go out of business now, they deserve it frankly for shitting on the small players in order to save their own asses when offered a "compromise" deal by the RIAA. The problem is that the compromise was tailored to the group that was supposedly representing webcasters and happened to be made up entirely (apparently) of midsized to largesized webcasters.
A fundamental rule of business: if you shit on your friends, then get screwed because of it, don't come whining to me.
Agreed. That's what turned me off on the show after a while. That and the fact that they have WAY too many episodes involving various wheeled/tracked car-truck-type-vehicles and boats.
This is a silly question. LOOK at the frigging junkyard. It's quite clear that it has been set up, at least to a certain extent, prior to the filming of the show. If there was only 1 working motor/partial vehicle and no transmissions anywhere, it would suck. I assure you no producer would allow lots of money to be wasted filming only to realize the parts just weren't in the "random junkyard" they used as their set. Heh.
Uhhh dudde, you realize the "junkyard" was planted with appropriate partial vehicles, wrecks, motors and so forth to make the show interesting? It's not like they just walked up to some random junkyard and started filming. Just thought you should know.
Agreed. I was just pointing out that the supposed "increase" has been observed in only one place. Several possible explanations: 1) Autism rates have not changed, it is just more commonly diagnosed now (either correct diagnoses of children who would previously not have been diagnosed have increased, or misdiagnoses of children who aren't truly autistic have increased). 2) Autism rates are increasing everywhere (or everywhere in the developed world or the US etc. etc.) and only CA has good enough data to observe it. 3) Autism rates are increasing locally in CA due to some social/genetic or environmental factors that happen to be more prevalent in CA (and perhaps other regions, but it has been noticed in CA due to good record keeping).
I certainly don't know which of these 3 cases is true, but it seems one of them must be. I am sort of a fan of number 1, though I don't mean this by any means as disrespectful to you or your son (my mother has a good friend whose son is autistic, and in his case, it certainly _seems_ like an accurate diagnosis). I have observed this with other, less severe mental disorders. For example, the tendency to diagnose childhood or early-onset bipolar disorder. A relative of mine was recently diagnosed with early onset BPD - frankly, I think I might have been diagnosed with this as a child had they been looking to use that label at the time, but I don't think it would have been accurate, and I'm fairly sure it's not accurate for my relative either, but this diagnosis seems to have become very popular. Back when I was a kid and my mom sent me to a shrink, he tried to help me be a better functioning person, deal with my anger and rages, not apply a label to me and medicate the hell out of me.
Hmmm maybe these people are labeled "wackos" because there is no _scientific_ evidence to support that point of view, and it seems like a rather arbitrary attribution of cause of a little-understood disease. Whereas the consequences of NOT getting immunizations are quite well understood (i.e. severe illness possibility, even a possibility of death). Mind you, I got chicken pox when I was 3 and I survived it just fine, it was just mildly unpleasant as I remember it. I'm not criticizing you for refusing the chicken pox vaccine for your children, but keep in mind that traditional vaccines are among the LEAST financially rewarding branches of medicine, and that they are mostly there for very sound medical reasons. Okay, not everybody needs a hep-B vaccine and chicken pox is mostly a discomfort more than a serious illness, but ya don't wanna pass up on MMR or tetanus shots. And that's what I'm afraid all this paranoia is going to cause.
Keep in mind that we get these vaccines EVERYWHERE in the US, and this problem has been observed in CA. It seems rather odd, doesn't it, that your theory would result in increased prevalence of autism throughout the first world, which though it may be hypothesized by some, has not been proved by any means as far as I know.
Okay, I don't know if you are trolling, but what you are saying is outrageous and false. First of all, your country isn't the USSR since it doesn't exist anymore. Perhaps you mean Russia, perhaps Belarus, Ukraine, etc. The old USSR was not some sort of idealistic Marxist state, it was more or less the most brutal dictatorship around at the time, running under the facade of Communism. Russia, at least, is certainly pretty fouled up these days, mostly due to the same cronyistic system from the Communist era being applied to assign ownership of previously nationalized factors of production to a tiny subset of the population, and the fact that Russia's economy was built to produce domestically and could never compete in a globalized arena (free flow of goods and services) because of the fact that most goods produced during the Soviet era were markedly substandard.
There is a reason (okay, many reasons) that Communism fell. It should stay dead, frankly. Your countrymen need to pull themselves out of the broken way of thinking and working they are stuck in, shut down organized crime, and work on evening out the standard of living while encouraging REAL entrepreneurship and innovation. Trying to retreat back into the shell of Communism is unlikely to achieve this - it's possible, but quite difficult to run away from the global economy once plugged in.
That's like the old CS51 assignment I did where for NO apparent reason, an index was magically one off at the end of some large array calculation, so when I printed the results out, the first result in this array was always a zero. The solution? I simply added one to the pointer before printing the array.
Of course, my TA called me out on it when I got the graded result back -- she had taken off three points. I said, fine, if YOU can find the flaw in the rest of my logic, then I will accept that I made a mistake and deserved to be docked three points. She rapidly gave up, and only took off one point instead.:) The joys of pointer arithmetic.
Funny thing happened the other day. My friend was over, opened up his laptop in the living room of my apartment, and started browsing. We had been making some DNS changes to a site we own, and he was checking them out, and told me they had propagated. I checked on box, and couldn't see them yet. This had us stymied for about 20 minutes until he checked his current IP address and hostname, which showed clearly that he was on Verizon DSL, whereas my apartment has ATT BB Cable - he was using the default Linksys SSID and his 802.11b card had picked up the neighbor's wireless access point accidentally. Whereupon we also discovered that we were easily able to use the default Linksys password to get onto the neighbor's router. Oh, and we found that our neighbor had three Windows boxes with open shares on them (nothing interesting in the shares though).
For a brief moment, I questioned why I am paying for a landline feed and not just piggybacking bandwidth off of my hapless neighbors.
You mean we might have to ADAPT our business model and learn to live in the digital era like everyone else? *whine whine whine* Please. They are selling lots of DVDs. Nobody is forcing them to price DVDs at 19.99 on Amazon.com. The fact that they are selling them at that price point leads me to believe that they are practicing standard revenue maximization behavior, looking for the magic marginal revenue = marginal cost point. Illegal copying ("piracy") of movies is still largely limited to college students and others who have limitless bandwidth, lots of time, and can't afford the 20 bucks for a movie they know is worth watching again and again.
Furthermore, people will STILL go to the movies as a social event, it's something to do with friends, it's an experience, and most people just don't have home theater equipment that comes close to that yet, until we all get InFocus-style LCD projectors for our living rooms. Oh yeah, and if you want us to come to the theater, consider that just maybe 10 bucks+ a person, not including snacks and soda is a little outrageous - when I was a kid, I remember it was 4-5 dollars, and I'm only 23. Price has gone up substantially faster than inflation, and the quality of most major studio releases has gone down. Hmmm....
Ah ha! That is useful to know indeed. Sorry, I thought I read the blurb in the README, but maybe I didn't read it carefully enough, since I missed that.
Is it just me, or does typeahead find have some really strange behaviors? I just d/led 1.2beta and I'm trying it out, and it seems like typeahead find successfully finds about half the occurrences of word patterns, and I can't even figure out if this is detereministic or not. For example, in the article here, I tried to find "moz" and kept pressing F3 to cycle and it was missing quite a few occurrences of the word "Mozilla" which is all over that page. Is there something I'm missing about how this feature is supposed to work?
Moderators, you have all been massively karma-whore-trolled. This is a trite, content-free post. XML may provide modest benefits to scientific data storage/manipulation, but that has nothing to do with XUL. Come on, this isn't 1999 - I thought we all knew by now that XML is just another, admittedly somewhat more standards- and parser-friendly way to transport and store data. This stopped being exciting quite a few years ago. Frankly, the nice part about XUL is that it is FAST to make UI changes, it's honestly not any more flexible than the old fashioned way of writing a GUI. In fact, it's less flexible, but suffices for most kinds of desktop apps. Furthermore, though XUL has turned out to be a decent tool for quick GUI RAD, it's still just barely fast enough to be workable, and for years it was dog slow, not to mention being the primary reason that Mozilla took FOREVER to get finished (please don't tell me otherwise, I've been following the 'Zilla for years now, and if XUL/XPCOM hadn't been part of the grandiose plan and they'd just made a good browser up front, it would have been done several years earlier).
In short, this post is full of shit and PhysicsScholar has been k-whoring all day. The saddest part is that there IS NO MEANINGFUL KARMA anymore, since numerical karma was established. Also, if this guy is really a physicist I'll shit my pants. If you doubt me, look at his posts from earlier today. Total K-whoring bs.
