TFA is a poor re-blog of the original article here, which has this video, where you actually hear how it is made: Hollow steel balls are pored into a from, (and presumably agitated to settle them in a uniform matrix), then aluminum is pored over them to fix them there. So yes, should scale up well.
I meant you want to kill them as quickly as you can, ie 4 shots rather than 8, because while you are shooting at one of them, the rest are going to be pretty motivated to kill you.
This is a stupid conversation, most people (ie not cops, and not "gangsters") will never get in this situation.
I said "if 9mm isn't hitting hard enough" not "if I spray 9mm all over the place without hitting my target" My point was two hits with 9mm carry more energy than one with a.357.
I know what your point was, I was just making the observation that a lot of people dismiss revolvers as self defense/home defense weapons because of only having six shots. When in fact they would be the best weapon for this. When was the last time you heard of someone firing more than six shots in a self defense situation and coming out alive, and without a murder conviction?
If I carried a gun (I don't) I would want a weapon that knocks down a threat in one shot, because each extra shot is a. more time (more likely to get yourself shot) and b. more likely to get you convicted for murder.
btw, on the more than one target issue, the best solution in that situation is to surrender, because you will get shot (and if you must, I would think you would want to go with one shot per target, rather than more, to keep them from filling you with too many holes).
.357 Mag is fine if you don't mind needing to reload . . . I'm quite happy with my 9mm carry piece; with pre-ban magazines I can carry it 13 rounds ready to go. If the 9mm isn't hitting hard enough, I'll just shoot twice.
As the saying goes, if you can't hit your target in six shots, what are you doing with a gun?
it took me 3 read through's of the last (well not the last, the second to last) para, before i could understand what it was doing there (i'm ripped), but it was worth it
I think that "Hal" would do a better job then this Reuters writer:
"Today's chatbots -- a computer program that has a persona and a name and chats with you -- are incapable of dealing with changes in context or abstract ideas and succeed only at momentarily tricking people regurgitating pre-programmed answers."
I think they wanted to say ". ..succeed only at momentarily tricking people by regurgitating pre-programmed answers." Unless they wanted to say that chatbots could only trick people who were regurgitating pre-programmed answers.
Kinda makes you realise just how hard this language shit is anyway eh?

That's $140K per person over the life of the building. Assuming the building lasts 200 years, that is quite reasonable. Well, you would have to add some for upkeep etc. but I don't think its way out of line with reality.
Obviously, apartments would be cheaper on a cost per person basis initially, but you have to take into account things like transportation and energy costs, as well as other benefits.
Also, they are housing business facilities as well, so that has to be factored into the analysis.
i do a lot of digital video editing on the side, so i still have my windows box. i'd love to have the two combined (hmmm...starting to sound a little like OS X), but i don't a video editor suite popping up on linux.
Just a note: You should really try Final Cut Pro, it has a Media100ish gui, and has improved on that type of program with interface tools that make complex editing real slick. I am sure that it is/will very soon be running on osX as it is made by apple.
You still don't get the point. Lets assume a mere 300 Bytes per Message (it will be more taking all tcp/ip overhead, smtp overhead etc. into account), and 500000 Messages will already sum up to 150 MB.
All five letter accounts (and still using only lowercase - no uppercase letters, no numburs) will take 4 GB.
Read my lips: Your Idea WILL NOT WORK. This can't be done.
Read my lips: 4GB IS NOTHING. To a user on dialup it may seem like alot, but for a spamer colocated on a oc3 it is no big deal.
Try taking the hard drive apart, and set it on the desk in front of you as you render video. If you use one of the old full height maxtors it is almost deafening.

You can put it in a computer just as well as any other digital media, all that is required is a drive. In most Mini-DV cams, there is a way to link the drive in the camera to a computer through some type of interface, so there is no need to buy a drive for the coumputer.
it's linear
Yes? And?
Linear is just fine for storing video. As far as editing goes: if you are editing non-linearly, you are going to be needing much more than 5.2GB of RAM media to store the video, so it has to go on a harddrive anyway . . . (BTW, even if you were editing a very small video, DVD is way too slow for non-linear editing)
and it's more prone to damage Well, sorta: dropouts are a big problem on analog tapes, but digital formats have built in methods to prevent problems. I don't have specs handy, but I can tell you that Mini-DV works very well, I have looked at over 40 hours of footage, and have seen no problems. On 1/2 inch formats like BetaSP a very small amount of data missing will create visible problems, this doesn't happen on the DV formats.
And while I don't think you can put a DVD-RAM disc in consumer DVD player
No, as far as I know (I researched this about 3 months ago) you can't put a video on DVD-RAM into a DVD player and have it play (talking set top boxes here, you can access the data on the disk in most computer DVD drives).
this is a step in the right direction
Would you mind explaining why? So that perhaps in the future you could take your media out of the camera, and be able to hand it to someone to play on their DVD? This is somthing that needs to happen in the consumer drives before I would run out and buy one of these, and I suspect that this is kinda unlikely due to our friends the MPAA:) (after all, why are there no consumer DV drives, which have a much higher quality than DVD?)
