Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » SanDisk To Release 2.5 Inch Solid State Drive

A number of higher capacity SSDs have already been released, but at costs of $20+ per gig. Prices should start dropping; thumb drives might be a good analogy.

Oops, amazing what a difference a little "m" makes versus a big "M." Let me try and redeem myself by mentioning that the MSL laser only fires for 5 nanoseconds, which means that (if I did my math right this time) the Spyder can sustain a pulse for 720 billion times longer before running out of juice.

Evan Ackerman — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:01:02 -0000

Navigation systems are sort of a trickle-down technology. The only one being actively promoted is OnStar, which (for the technically literate) is kinda pointless, in my opinion, since you can accomplish the same tasks with a standard commercial GPS and a cell phone, and commercial GPS companies are going to be the ones doing the innovating, which car companies will then adopt. The reps I talked to say that GPS is becoming a standard in new cars, along with MP3 compatibility, in the same way that CD players used to be optional and are now everywhere. People are starting to expect it at least as an option if not as a standard.

That's a fair enough point, Yocto... Although, I don't use the little circle thingy only because it's a pain in the butt to type in. I'll blame the rest of it on my American upbringing and our nonsensical imperialist measuring system. For the record, I'm generally a metric system guy, except for two things: speed, and temperature. It's an unfortunate fact that since I grew up with F and MPH (excuse me, °F), °C and KPH just don't make intuitive sense to me, you know? But I'll be more careful in the future.

But there is still ONE more occasion in which Livingston the lion fish was not in his fishtank. Technically I suppose he was, but, what's the episode? No cheating, but here's a hint: I'm pretty sure that Spot, Data's cat, was a key plot element.

Since I have no idea who guest is, becca gets the non-prize. Livingston shows up in that episode as some kind of jellyfish, and I'm pretty sure a devolved Riker was trying to eat him. Points to Mike, too, for getting the plot. For the record, although I've watched DS9 start to finish, I don't remember Chester at all, and I think Porthos is out of Enterprise, which is a load of rubbish.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Gomboc Is World’s First Self-Righting Object

Evan Ackerman — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:01:04 -0000

The point is that it's homogeneous, and the center of gravity is at the center of the object. You can easily have objects that are stable when their centers of gravity are low (or high, for that matter), but this is the first shape that does not rely on an offset center of gravity to have one single stable orientation. They do talk about it more if you read some of their site.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Gomboc Is World’s First Self-Righting Object

Evan Ackerman — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:53:01 -0000

I'm getting out of my depth here (as I may have been when talking about the center of gravity of the object), so I'm just going to c&p; from their website: "The 'Gömböc' is the first known homogenous object with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point." So, yes, a non-homogenous sphere is self-righting, but that's something different from what was trying to be accomplished here. Also implied when talking about "self-righting" is that there is one single stable equilibrium point ("up"), and no other stable equilibrium points, which is why it's useful for turtles who don't like being upside-down. More c&p;: "Convexity and homogeneity are crucial properties of Gömböc. Weebles are straightforward examples of inhomogenous objects with Gömböc-type behaviour. Similarly, it is easy to create homogenous but concave Gömböc-like forms due to the fact that concave bodies cannot roll on all points of their circumference. Shapes with a unique stable equilibrium are called monostatic; those with only one additional unstable point are referred to as mono-monostatic. Thus the Gömböc is the first convex, homogenous, mono-monostatic object." I think the point that they're making is that it's the first object to rely on shape itself to self-right. Again, I'd encourage you to check out their website: http://www.gomboc.eu/site.php?inc=0&menuId;=8

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Gomboc Is World’s First Self-Righting Object

Evan Ackerman — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:56:29 -0000

BTW, Anonymous, the one of guys that invented this tested out 2,000 beach pebbles for self-righting properties (while on his honeymoon, no less) and none of them did. Changing this shape by a mere 5% results in 16 stable equilibrium points as opposed to 1, so it's unlikely to be generated spontaneously. Just by turtles. :)

Andy- I don't think so... You can alter the feedback to your taste, and from my 5 minutes of gameplay, it was something I adjusted to rather than fought. I asked one of the guys running the demo machines if the feedback became a problem with multiplayer gaming, since the recoil throws off your aim. He said he usually turns it off for multiplayer, and cranks it way up for single player. But anyway, my guess is that you're more likely to get a tired wrist from not having a surface to rest it on.

I could be wrong about this, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that the F-117A has a lower observable profile (radar, infrared, etc.) than either the F-22 or the B-2. I imagine that in certain very specific situations, they could still be the best planes for the job... But you're right on both counts.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Goodbye, F-117A. We’ll Miss Not Seeing You

So, according to Modern Marvels: Stealth Technology, the F-117A has a radar cross section "of an insect," while the F-22's is "smaller than a sparrow." The B-2 has a radar cross section between 4 and 5 times larger than the F-117A.

@ Rick: that's certainly true. So you think that the current cost for a good new 80mm lens is due to the lack to demand and a specialized market? I guess in my experience, good glass is always expensive, new or used, but maybe not $1500 expensive for an 80mm prime.
