That's not how holograms work. Holograms are made with ordinary photographic film just like you used to use in an ordinary camera. What makes holograms work is that a diffraction pattern is stored on the film rather than the image itself; to look at a hologram without a laser is to look at squiggles.
To make a hologram, you put the subject in a dark room, take a laser and split its beam, with the film between the beams and the subject. After you develop the film, shine a lensed laser at it and the true 3D image appears.
You could make a holographic TV set, but holograms, even with most film, are very grainy. Notice that holograms you see at places like Disney are large and you don't see them close up. To make a holographic TV you would need a crazy high resolution monitor and the pixels would have to be laser diodes, or backlit with a laser. This ultri-high resolution medium would indeed work as a hologram, all you would need would be lasers to shine at it.
Also, retarded lameness filter is retarded. Here's sme more random crap to make this post go through...
I wish I had mod points, I had the same damned problem trying to explain that $#!+ was actually the word "shit". Took me 15 minutes to figure out that the subject was what was being lamely filtered.
HEY EDITORS: When I quote the fucking headline and the lame-ass filter is encountered, what does that say about your lame-ass headline?
That "lameness filter" is just fucking lame. PLEASE get rid of it, OK? Or at least go by your own rules in the topic headline!
I's not that he was an optimist, it's that his observation was expounded on later. What he said was "if there's a wrong way to do something, someone will do it that way." Pretty much self-evident, I'd say.
*sigh* I've been trying to explain it for fifteen minutes, but slashdot's lame filter won't let me. The dollar sign is an s, the hash is an h, the exclamation mark is an i, the plus sign is a T.
And I'm still getting the lameness filter, must be tha subject line. I wonder why I keep getting it, and how you managed to post?
No, that's what Motorola MADE. I have one and love it, great camera/video, keyboard, internet, email, ms pac man, qwerty keyboard, all in a phone that fits in my pants pocket. Exactly what I need. However, it's broken, and I can't get a replacement. I'll have to drive 100 miles to St Louis to get it repaired:(
Since when is wikipedia a good citation? Especially about something controversial, like he meaning of a twenty year old word? Remember, anybody can edit it, you don't have to be a lexicographer, all you need is an opinion enough others share. How about http://dictionary.reference.com/
Main Entry: patent troll Part of Speech: n Definition: a company that purchases a patent, esp. from a bankrupt firm, and then sues another company claiming that one of its products infringes on the purchased patent Etymology: 1993 Usage: derogatory; also patent trolling, (n.)
Although I'm afraid the definition is a bit nebulous, it's not in Webster's.
I suspect (and hope) that they're firing their programmers and keeping all the engineers. Motorola makes incredibly good radios, in my experience the best (my Motorola phones would get signals when nobody else there could get a signal), but their interfaces suck horribly.
This makes sense, since they're now owned by Google and the phones will surely be Androids.
NASA's a government agency. They're running Curiosity with a tiny onboard computer, probably programmed in assembly or even raw machine code. Computer literate? No way! Those guys don't know shit, man! </sarcasm>
Overrated? OK Mr teabagger, waste another point on me, because Ryanrule's comment was insightful and I'm repeating it. Flamebait, overrated, redundant, fine, I have a lot more karma than you have mod points. Mod away, baby. Maybe wasting points on me will keep you from unfairly modding someone else.
Ryanrule said Yes, it sucks to pay people what they are worth, and to pay taxes that support those people through infrastructure, education, and safety.
Despite the fact that "insane" and "mentally disturbed" are not synonyms, if you believe that cutting taxes on the rich while killing benefits and raising taxes on the middle class and poor will improve the economy, despite the fact that this is exactly what Bush did, followed by the economy crashing, you are insane. One popular definition of insanity is doing the exact thiing that just failed and expecting success.
Trickle down fairy dust is insane. Wealth doesn't trickle down, it flows up. Cutting taxes on the rich will not get them to increase production. The only way production will increase is if demand increases; you don't hire more shop floor guys when sales are down, you lay them off, and taxes play no part. But if you cut taxes and improve benefits for the poor and middle class, they'll put that money right back into the economy, mmaking the businessman more successful and causing him to hire more workers to keep up the demand. This was proven by Clinton's Presidency.
This team is a 1% team. They are for the rich, fuck everybody else. If you earn less than $300,000 and vote for them, you're crazier than Ryan.
Have you ever read Asimov's Playboy and the Slime Gods? The aliens in that story reproduce asexually, which Asimov (a biochemist who did cancer research at Boston University) figured would evolve very slowly. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you want to actually read the story in the book Nightfall) the wikipedia synopsis is awful offal.
He's probably in New Zealand; it's winter there now. He's probably talking about a coat pocket. Or he could be wearing GI jungle fatigues, those things have huge pockets.
Peer-review Because of the structure of the experiment, Zimbardo found it impossible to keep traditional scientific controls in place. He was unable to remain a neutral observer, since he influenced the direction of the experiment as the prison's superintendent. Conclusions and observations drawn by the experimenters were largely subjective and anecdotal, and the experiment would be difficult for other researchers to reproduce.
Critics such as Erich Fromm challenged the generalization of the experiment's results. Fromm specifically wrote that the personality of an individual does affect behavior when imprisoned, using historical examples from the Nazi concentration camps. This ran counter to the study's conclusion that the prison situation itself controls the individual's behavior. Fromm also argued that the amount of sadism in the "normal" subjects could not be determined with the methods employed to screen them.[10]
[edit] Biases Some of the experiment's critics argued that participants were merely engaging in role-playing, basing their behavior on how they were expected to behave or modeling it after stereotypes about the behavior of prisoners and guards. In response, Zimbardo claimed that even if there was role-playing initially, participants internalized these roles as the experiment continued.
In contrast to Zimbardo's claim that participants were given no instructions about how to behave, his briefing of the guards gave them a clear sense that they should oppress the prisoners. In this sense, the study was an exploration of the effects of tyrannical leadership. In line with this, certain guards changed their behavior because of their desire to conform to the behavior that Zimbardo was trying to elicit.[citation needed]
[edit] Other criticisms Additionally, the study has been criticized on the basis of ecological validity. Many of the conditions imposed in the experiment were arbitrary and may not have correlated with actual prison conditions, including blindfolding incoming prisoners, not allowing them to wear underwear, not allowing them to look out of windows and not allowing them to use their names. Zimbardo argued that prison is a confusing and dehumanizing experience and that it was necessary to enact these procedures to put the prisoners in the proper frame of mind; however, he conceded that it was difficult to know how similar the effects were to an actual prison, and that the experiment's methods would be difficult to reproduce exactly.[citation needed]
Some said[who?] that the study placed undue emphasis on the cruelty of the guards, such as one who was nicknamed "John Wayne", and who said that he caused the escalation of events between guards and prisoners after he began to emulate a character from the Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke. He further intensified his actions because he was nicknamed "John Wayne", even though he was trying to mimic actor Strother Martin, who had played the role of the sadistic Captain in the movie.[11] Most of the other guards were kinder and often did favors for prisoners.[citation needed]
Also, it has been argued that selection bias may have played a role in the results. Researchers from Western Kentucky University recruited students for a study using an advertisement similar to the one used in the Stanford Prison Experiment, with and without the words "prison life." It was found that students volunteering for a prison life study possessed dispositions toward abusive behavior.[12]
It's high risk, but selling phones seems to be about marketing first and technology second, so putting all your marketing muscle behind one model doesn't seem like a bad idea.
I have to disagree. Phones aren't "one size fits all." Unfortunately, too many phones from too many manufactuyrers are the same. It's hard to find a flip phone with decent fetures and a good camera you can fit in a pants pocket any more, and that's the phone I'm looking for. I'm also looking for a phone that I don't have to install apps to listen to the radio on -- I should be able to stream it from their web sites, just like I can with my computer.
They still aren't selling the phone I want to buy, and the one I had closest to the one I want broke, and they stopped selling it. The new smartphones are all HUGE, and I just fucking hate it.
Marketing isn't going to get me to buy a phone that doesn't do what I want or fit in my pocket.
I like the fact that I can buy a small, cheap car with good mileage, or a damned Humvee if I want. I like that fact that there are more than one flavor of cheese. I like the fact that I can get many different flavors of Linux. I just can't fathom those who say "there are too many!!!! I can't choose!!!
Next time you go shopping for a phone, just tell the salesman to pick one for you!
Notice that Apple only makes one model of phone, and Samsung alone sells a lot more Androids than Apple sells iPhones (there's a slashdot story about that farther down on the front page)..
Indeed There was a journal entry yesterday (not mine) saying "it's official -- Romney wants to lose." He not only gave up Florida, but Ohio as well. Last week I thought it might be a close race, but I'm now seeing an Obama landslide. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the Republicans, and especially the tea hee party, is for helping the 1%ers in every way possible while pissing down the 99%'s backs and telling them it's raining.
If you're making $300,000 per year and you vote for Obama, you're a fool. If you're earning less than that and vote for Romney, you're a fucking retard. Their "economic policy" is identical to Bush's, and it crashed the economy at the end of his term. God help this nation if that pair wins!
While an interesting development, I don't believe the average plant would thrive with the abuse of a std remote control usage.
It would work with any conductive material. It would work with dogs or humans or anything else that wasn't a good insulator. Kind of cool concept, but I saw far more interesting engineering when I worked there -- like the jumping fountains and the robot presidents.
And Disney is a weird place. If something looks real, it's probably fake. If it looks fake, it's probably real -- and this goes double for plants.

Never understood why anyone censors "bad" words yet leaves enough letters there so people easily figure out what the word is.
That's because in many places they'll yank your entire post for saying "shit," so you change it to "$#!+ or $hit to get past the automated filters in MSN messageboards.
I laughed out loud last week when one of the news channels scrolled by. They had replaced "booby prize" with "bobby prize". Can't have the word Booby on TV now can we! Those birds are so evil!
