Pretty sure I saw a thing on TV in the early 90's demonstrating a video-based device that could be used to track gunshots. It could even predict where the bullet would hit before it got there.
Half of Japan used 50Hz and the other side uses 60Hz. They have three conversion stations with a combined capacity of just 1GW, so power from one side can't power the other.
Side note: the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.
Do Americans know that no one else in the world does this?
Well, us American slashdotters are very painfully aware. But I once (actually, twice to the same person) had to explain to a friend that I didn't need to pay for a data plan in order to use wifi on my smartphone. -_- I do not have high hopes for the general awareness of this country.
In fairness, your 'friend' probably knows little of networking in the same way you know very little about what goes into manufacturing a cardboard box. We follow our interests.
In other words, there are lots of people who think you are lacking in 'general awareness', too. I bet your car mechanic thinks you shouldn't have a license to drive.
... for anybody who would put their lives on the line like this. The Japanese are better at this than anyone else on Earth - honor and duty above all else. I take my hat off to everybody within that radius still fighting to protect their countrymen.
Agreed. If it were up to me these dudes would never pay for taxes or health-care again.
Okay, just so we're all in agreement, when no bad iPhone news happens next week, we're supposed to cycle back to the water sensors getting tripped. We haven't used that one in a while so it'll seem like a fresh complaint. Boy it'd make our jobs easier if the people who actually had the phones would just complain about something.
It was a joke. But I guess you haven't found an app that will give you a sense of humor.;-)
Now, how quickly does it play Netflix movies? What's it's Hulu Plus app like, does it work nicely?
You don't say.
Seriously, for shame. I really do want an Android phone. It just isn't as functional yet. Another year or two of maturity and I think I'll finally get to switch.
Software matters. We keep learning this lesson with video game consoles. For some reason, though, people keep going spec happy with tablets and phones.

I really believe we need to start looking closer into the connection of the slaughter of these beautiful intelligent animals and the disaster that struck Japan.
Oh I'm usually an ignorant hypocrite, the problem is I didn't say anything about hypocrisy in my original post. You're trying to cover up the fact that you responded to the wrong guy.

In this case, Id say fiction copied non-fiction.

In 1955, sure.
if we get to 88Hz can we go back in time to fix this?
Boy, imagine how we'd laugh if the punchline was funny!

who is "we"?
you are NOTHING.
Oh, so you do know. Tell us!!
They finally killed the last male Bundy!
I wasn't blaming you, I was saying the tone of your post was altered by a dippy with a mod point.
No, you just couldn't take it because you're a humorless Apple fanboi.
Heh. And..... you didn't see the humor in my post. Woopsie!

Sorry, the 'Insightful' mod broke your punchline.
I think I didn't write that too clearly, I was trying to support your point. My bad, didn't mean that to sound like a rebuttal.
That's nice.

Maybe they weren't holding the iPhone correctly.

Man. There English sucks.
Sosumi!
Sure, but not so quickly after so many people died.
I really believe we need to start looking closer into the connection of the slaughter of these beautiful intelligent animals and the disaster that struck Japan.
I'll give you credit, it was a fun read!
I'm aware of it happening once. Hence the phrase 'comically extreme' as opposed to 'impossible'.
you deny such understand BECAUSE YOU ARE AN IGNORANT HYPOCRITE.
*smirk*
It's not quite irony but it's funny.
Still wrong!
Wrong. Read it again. ;)
That isn't what I pointed out.
I think you're replying to the wrong person.
you see that? that is the ignorance i'm referencing.
Wait.. do you mean my ignorance or yours? You don't know what hypocrisy is.
Sure you got the right post, there? There's no hypocrisy there.
Okay... so what you're saying is I'm able to both communicate clearly and.. uh.. be baffling?
