They're not overlapping, the images meet at the edge... If they did, the shadow of the edge of his hand wouldn't be in line with the shadow of his leg. Also, the edges where they meet would be noticably brighter than the rest of the image, not to mention they'd loose all the overlapped pixels. The alignment isn't perfect, but the guy *was* checking the alignment anyway...
So no, the projectors are just aligned at the edges, they're not overlapping.
Ever popped your ears? They're directly connected to your breathing organs. Sorry, you lose. Didn't you ever dissect a frog? I guess some middle school bio classes didn't, but I always remember sticking a probe in one of the holes on either side of it's throat and watching it come out the frog's ear (or whatever you call a frog's auditory organ).
I even saw a video once that traced a fish embryo and a human embryo, showing the bone movements through development. The bones that construct the gills come from the exact same place as the 3 stapes, stirrup, and whatever that last one is. Make sure you're not full of it when you accuse someone else of being wrong when they say something that most middle-schoolers know as fact from expiriment.
Soo.... I guess you'd be the stupid fucking troll that took the bait?:)
Yeah, I know, that was shooting fish in a barrel with a target on it, but I couldn't help myself.
Be careful on exciite.com, popup hell.

The java popup windows on there put most porn sites to shame.
No, I'm not going to turn java off either, I don't run into that problem enough to bother.
Well, it'll probably make it much more efficient to engrave chips, show us cheaper and easier ways to do what we're doing.
Let's look at a caveman who clubs someone over the head with a wooden club. When his foe becomes dead or unconcious, he might not know *why*, but he knows the effect. He might deduce things like removing branches and leaves that soften the blow make it more effective. But if he learned the reasons behind it, he could make a more effective club using rock, or maybe even metal. Sure, wooden clubs work fine, but isn't a stone axe just so much more convenient and stylish?:)
I trust the source I heard this from, but you might not, so please check if you're skeptical.
You get about as much radiation from a nuclear powerplant in your back yard as you would if you lived near Stone Mountin (granite contains radiactive substances). You get more radiation flying in an airplane once than if you lived in a flat sandy area all your life. Radiation sucks. But it's also ubiquitous, and the effect depends greatly on the dosage and random chance.

Personally I thought this was kinda funny. not the funniest, but certianly has merrit.
Anyway, off to find a good post to moderate up (I wish more people would log in, or not post AC... doubtful you'll get moderated down for a minority opinion, only a stupid one... That and people seem to make more sense when they have a name)
Yep, I have that book on hand. Good read. To spell out why LIGO will probably work better, it's all in the redundancy. Eventually there will be as many as 8 (?) different instruments at 4 sites (2 at each) to guarantee that it isn't background noise. Because of quantum physics and all that jazz, the wires supporting the detectors creak, even when perfectly isolated. Every part of it will actually make noise. With one detector, it's likely you'll see noise, with two, very unlikely both will creak at the exact same time. With 8, it's almost guaranteed that you'll get good data, not to mention the sites need to be spread out to triangulate. The farther they are appart, the better data you get, since gravitational waves have massive wavelengths. They also have to be perfectly synchronized to the same clock, otherwise the information is worthless. Personally, (I didn't read the article, but I understand the concept from said book) I think the data collected if any will be very valuable and greatly increase our understanding of the universe. With each step forward, from light to infrared to x-rays, we learn astounding new things that revolutionize our concept of the universe and our place in it. This should be no different.
It stands to reason that any common multiple would be fairly decent. 2048*1536/2 = 1024*768, that's fine./3 =~640*480. 800*600 is near/2.5
However, you also might want to consider that most people have about 19 or 17" monitor, and probably don't go above 1024x768 (majority probably doesn't even do that), so this is almost twice the density. It'll be a lot sharper, but the pixels should be so small I doubt you'd be able to tell. I guess it remains to be seen.
And what would you have them do? Administer an IQ test to moderators? Last I checked, this story has almost 250 comments, and you're nitpicking 1. So you didn't agree with the pointless comment being moderated up. If you're a moderator, you can moderate it down. If you aren't, tough, that's the way it works. So a post didn't get moderated up? Same deal. I don't, but I imagine there's a good number of people who browse at >=1, and don't even see AC posts. Can't be helped. If they have something good to say, they should log in, and get their karma improved in the process.
Of course, with so many posts, something like this is bound to happen. It's not worth your trouble complaining about it. I fail to see how this is a big deal, no one is being hurt and each person can decide for themselves what they think of it. If someone desperatly needed to hear someone's well thought out opinion, they'd find it wether it was 0 or 2. So just calm down and take a break. Posts like that should probably get a nice 'off topic', which isn't going to do much for your karma.
Yeah, and you gotta love the security. Almost as good as windows itself. You put in the wrong pwd 3 or so times and it asks if you forgot it. Click yes, and you get to put in a new one and it lets you in.
Actually, it's less efficient, because you're dragging along the extra weight of the second car that you weren't before. More processors is like having a lot of smaller cars, you have to pay for the standard requirements of each, while a faster chip can be seen as a bus, since it can take less trips to move the same ammount of people.

Heh, already heard this one today. See http://www.polymer-city.com/ . Great comic strip.

Makes a lot of sense in that context.
