no, having had the same problem (not charging past 64%) it will turn out that you need a new logic board. get applecare quickly... oh wait, two years old and you're f'd
I forgot to add that many people do still use the rectangular tips quite frequently.
The most interesting use is for lateral force microscopy (LFM) where the torsion on the tip from scanning can be detected thru extra sensors, and the relative frictions at the nanoscale surfaces can be compared - somewhat important to have a high vacuum though, as there is an inherent meniscus formed from water on the surface of all objects. Traditionally LFM would not give as good results with a v-tip, but perhaps this paper coming out disproves that.
(I just tried to access the april issue of review of scientific instruments and it is not yet online, so I don't know the math behind his findings)
But no, the flaw is not well known, and no, most people haven't dumped v-shaped for nanotubes, you're confusing a few things.
One measurement technique in AFMs involves attaching a carbon nanotube to the tip of a cantilever (a v-shaped one, as thats what is available). This gives much greater resolutions (tube diameter is ~10nm) vs tip of cantilever diameter ~25nm. HOWEVER, when you do that, you can only scan very slowly, and cannot scan surfaces with steep topographies. Otherwise the nanotubes will just knock off the tip of the cantilevers.
Also, getting the tube on the tip is a hit or miss process, and rarely repeatable with the same length/angle/etc - and usually held on using electrostatic forces.
I haven't read anything about AFMs in a year or so, but this is what I remember from when I was involved with them.
i was a tech at a mac shop about the time of when these were the sellers... sounds like a bad av board, should be ~100 now adays, and takes about an hour to do.
well, a professor in my department doesn't check his email. ever. someone set up a system where all his emails are faxed to the department fax machine and routed to his mailbox.
he also uses a typewriter for everything (including a recently published book)
today I saw him cutting out diagrams (what we call images) from papers to literally paste into something he was writing.
i started using safari v62 w/ tabs on saturday... and it has keychain integration in its infancy - it asks for permission to decrypt the correct passwords when entering sites, but does not place them in the fields as required. so its coming, but slowly.
v62 is the first i've started using safari, and am liking it about the same as chimera for now. once there are prefs to open tabs in teh background, and a way to open up multiple sites in different tabs at the same time, i'll switch for good.
another benefit of the debug menu is being able to specify which browser you are represented as - so going to wellsfargo.com i can say i am MSIE and they let me use the site.
What do I need to know about having fink work with apple's x11. I have fink installed on my new ibook, but wanted to wait to see if i should install xfree86 or apple's x11 implementation.
what settings do i set, where, and how. what are the differences between that and xfree86?
nope, i thought it was too. come to think of it, i havn't seen any katz articles in a long time. i wonder if i turned off katz stories, or if he just stopped posting them. whatever the case, i don't care, as/. has improved for me immensly because of it.
I've done much of what people have suggested either by vacation or in a class or something like that. I do plan to do more, as I'm still young and healthy and grateful for the opportunities I've had.
But still, nothing compares to sitting on a nice warm beach with a margarita and doing... nothing.
in which reference frame is probably a better question. when moving at high speeds (relativisitic) time dilation occurs. while these speeds are several orders of magnitude lower than the speed of light, perhaps there is still a noticeable time dilation effect.
my modern physics course was too long ago in a far too distant field.
So say I run down my internal battery, and then plug in this nifty toy. It will then charge my internal battery while powering the machine. Doubtful it would charge it all the way, but certainly would charge it - so then you have a partially charged battery and a quickly draining 3lb battery. What a pain in the ass.
I took the winter off from school (thanks for that killer summer internship apple:) and went boarding in colorado. I had dutifully picked up an ipod for the 2 month trip, and brought along enough songs on my laptop that I'd never hear the same song twice. Did I kill myself? close...
I never once came close to hitting anyone else or endangering anyone - the biggest risk was being too into a song when getting on a lift and then ignoring someone who was just asking the usual ski lift questions. I also never listened to it loud - always low enough that I could hear it as i wanted, and could hear anything someone might yell at me (namely ski patrol). I also made sure to get headphones w/ a small volume control on the wire that i could use to kill the sound immediatly if I needed to.
But, and the irony here is imense since my name is soon to be mentioned, I went down "bradley's plunge" at copper, a double black cornice thingy that was opening for the first day that season. I was cruising down, finished the run, and was on a flatter section, going too fast listening to face to face. Someone thought i't be a funny idea to burry about 50 sharp boulders under the snow and put them in front of me, so I stopped myself with my hip. Doing so broke my fuck-bone.
Needless to say, it was painful. Once ski patrol found me screaming a while later, I asked them to turn off the ipod because i couldn't do it myself. They said they'd turn it down while we were just waiting there, but once they put me behind a snowmobile for the 30 minute trek to firstaid, they wanted me to have something to listen to and have to scream over if anything felt worse than it already did. Also, they wanted another chance to play with it.
So moral of the story, ski patrol likes you to have tunes, don't ski on a run named after you falling, and don't break your fuck-bone - it hinders that certain activity greatly.
- since then fully recovered and looking forward to another season.
my favorite thing about the little apple ghetto we have here, is that there is little/no slashdot effect for sites like these.... finally i can read the news the day it comes up
I'm an extremely technical person, but in the world of materials engineering and such. I read/. for computer news and have for 2.5 years now. However, I'm only now starting to do any programming just out of sheer interest. So I don't know squat about this.
Do the render farms work simply as individual nodes rendering individual frames as doled out by some server, or do they work collectively. As in: are they done serially or in parallel? I don't mean this part as a joke, but is the beowulf cluster concept meant to be a single fast computer made of many?

Materials have always defined our lives.
Examples: Stone age, bronze age, copper age, iron age, steel age, silicon age, nano age.
It is so pervasive that it goes unnoticed by everyone but us materials engineers and scientists.

a crystalline structured metallic? sounds.... dangerous.
I'd rather stick with my amorphous structured metals myself.
Mods: this is a joke. metals are crystalline materials, they follow one of 14 basic structures.
Don't worry, I partitioned the drive on my pbook so I won't get the speed hit.

1. Apple did this deliberatly. If ibook users had the same capabilities as powerbook users, where would the $ go?
2. The hardware can do it. So write your own OS....
3. Software could do it, but they disabled it in firmware, or so I'm told.
4. Some realllly smart guy could make it work... either that or a few people w/ too much time on their hands that want to redo the firmware.
Good luck
I saw a video of woz saying that the name Apple was chosen because it came before Atari in the phone book.
He either worked there or had a rivalry with them over something, whatever the case the name came about with that in mind.
