I like how the "visually stunning" link goes to a tech article about the equipment used for the Sydney showing. Maybe Soulskill can fill us in on how that ties in to ILM.
Those guys in Austin should demand a refund! They paid for a ticket for The Wrath of Khan, but that's not what they got. If it were me I'd be raising hell.
Out of curiosity, what was the band and what was the label? If their distribution is as limited as you make it sound (which as a longtime indie fan, I find hard to believe unless they have absolutely NO distribution whatsoever--but then why are they sold on Amazon?), it's probably easier/cheaper to just order it from the label's website directly. I can almost guarantee that they will gladly accept American currency.
If NASA were smart they would name the thing "Colbert" and encurage the chap to do a "ISS Report" or similar NASA/space oriented report on his show at regular intervals. Keep space research in front of the people. Even to the point of reporting on NASA's own humorous internal mistakes/problems/gaffs with actual data supplied by NASA. National / International attention and it costs them nothing.
While I don't disagree with the idea, aren't they pretty much getting this for free from Colbert already? Sure, there isn't a regular segment, but he definitely does report a fair bit on the goings on at NASA.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how can the x86 architecture itself be subject to copyright? Isn't the protected property not the publicly documented instruction set, but the implementation thereof?
I believe it's not the core x86 instructions, but rather all the various MMX and SSE extensions that have been tacked on in the past 10-15 years. And as mentioned in the summary, AMD's x64 extensions are at stake, too.
Only 15% actually know how much of the planet is covered in water (47% if you accept a rough approximation of the exact number)...
I understand pointing out that ridiculous number of people who fail basic science literacy. But we also shouldn't ignore the high number of people who do poorly in basic English literacy, of which TaeKwonDood is one. That sentence above falls apart in a number of ways.
Replying to myself. Looks like it is Verizon Wireless. But it also looks like it's fairly easy to opt out of. You can either do it through your settings on the Verizon Wireless website, or via phone at 1-800-333-9956.
I haven't read through the full article yet, but I'm assuming they're talking about Verizon Wireless. Or does this spill down to those of us using Verizon DSL service, too?
I picked up a G1 last weekend, but ended up taking it back yesterday. On the software side, it was absolutely beautiful. But the hardware left a lot to be desired (mainly the form factor/weight). I'm hoping T-Mobile gets access to the HTC Magic sometime later in the year, in which case I'll go ahead and switch back.
As for the apps, the open source nature of the Android really showed (in more ways than one). On the one hand, there were some very interesting and innovative apps in the marketplace (and elsewhere on the web). For instance, there were several cyclocomputer apps that take advantage of the GPS and mapping abilities of the device. I didn't get a chance to try any of them out, but depending on the quality, I could see an Android phone replacing a $300-$800 dedicated GPS cyclocomputer (hell, there's probably even a way to tie a cadence monitor into the Android). OTOH, there were also a whole ton of crap programs in the marketplace. But I think the ratings and reviews are doing a decent job of weeding those out.
Overall, I do have the feeling that the Android will become a pretty major player in the coming months/years.
I'm not sure which one makes you look like more of an idiot--the fact that "kdawson" isn't two words, or the fact that the story was posted by timothy.
This page seems to supply the key point that's missing from the linked article:
Erwise was a popular web browser in the early days of the World Wide Web. At the time of its release in April 1992, one month prior to ViolaWWW, it was the world's first web browser with a graphical user interface for non-NeXT computers.

Maybe. But I'm sure we can waste more.
Does this mean that they're abandoning the mp3pro format? And just as it was about to finally catch on, too....
Cloud gaming? Sounds like vaporware to me...
But I never saw Shaky Cam 1. How will I know what's going on?
Does this question really need to be asked. The answer is clearly Gary Gnu.

Shouldn't this be posted in the 'idle' section?
Yeah, that's the problem, too many over-religious Christians in the scientific fields! You just can't keep Christians away from science!
Read it and weep.
orge Inc? Sounds like a fun place to work. : p
I stand corrected. Sadly, the error being the result of an "editor's" "editing" makes the situation even worse.

You seriously can't hear the harshness and near-flanging sound that you sometimes get in the high end? Yeeps!
I shudder at the thought of Comcast ever getting into the cell phone business.

Anyone have a torrent of the video version?

Two words: kdawson
I'm not sure which one makes you look like more of an idiot--the fact that "kdawson" isn't two words, or the fact that the story was posted by timothy.
Absolutely agreed. Here is a nice site on the subject of the use of plain language in government.
I think you have that backwards. It is not entirely coincidental that the rules that a computer program follows are called "code".
