The Chinese would like to be able to invade Taiwan, but the presence of a Carrier Battle Group in the region has a deterrring effect. An Antiship ballistic misdle capability would deter the carrier from doing much interference.
(The US has certain obligations under the Taiwan Relations Act).
Maybe you should start deleting programs and files instead of merely killing off processes-- odds are decent that you have enough memory (i.e RAM), it's the system partition that's under contention.

It's a sliding scale based on the crew size, as well as whatever extra work is required from the forest service to facilitate your activities. So yeah, if you have 60 people working as cast and crew, and a few rangers need to put in 50 hours of work managing your logistics, and it's a multi day shoot, it's going to cost more than if 2 or three guys take pictures for a couple of hours.
Here's the fee schedule for commercial photography Essentially, if you have more than 50 people on site (and therefore require the most expensive permits), a $1500 permit fee will be a very small portion of your costs. I'm guessing that $5 million in liability insurance will prove costlier, but, of course, that's only needed if you
a.) rent a helicopter or use one you already own
b) pay for aviation fuel
c) pay the pilot
and so on...
my fault. I was extrapolating from the "Whitney Zone"- where permits are most definitely required for entry.
A display? , in a wilderness area? Do you know what wilderness is?
Unless you have a permit, you don'nt have the right to be in a wilderness area. That's the whole point if wilderness areas: the human impact is minimized.
Here's a 2011 interview
I’ve revisited voxels at least a half dozen times in my career, and they’ve never quite won. I am confident in saying now that ray tracing of some form will eventually win because there are too many things that we’ve suffered with rasterization for, especially for shadows and environment mapping. We live with hacks that ray tracing can let us do much better. For years I was thinking that traditional analytical ray tracing intersecting with an analytic primitive couldn’t possibly be the right solution, and it would have to be something like voxels or metaballs or something. I’m less certain of that now because the analytic tracing is closer than I thought it would be. I think it’s an interesting battle between potentially ray tracing into dense polygonal geometry versus ray tracing into voxels and things like that. The appeal of voxels, like bitmaps, [is that] a lot of things can be done with filtering operations. You can stream more things in and there is still very definitely appeals about that. You start to look at them as little light field transformers rather than hard surfaces that you bounce things off of. I still wouldn’t say that the smart money is on voxels because lots of smart people have been trying it for a long time. It’s possible now with our current, modern generation graphics cards to do incredible full screen voxel rendering into hyper-detailed environments, and especially as we look towards the next generation I’m sure some people would take a stab at it. I think it’s less likely to be something that is a corner stone of a top-of-the-line triple A title. It’s in the mix but not a forgone conclusion right now.
In 1999, he was working with 3d "light maps".
"Point Cloud". Where have I heard that term before?
Ah yes

For a PBS show, it's surprisingly repetitious, and a lot of the dialogue tends towards the "gee whiz--look at the cool technology we have". It has the flavor of a Discovery Channel type show. Despite this, there are interesting bits and pieces throughout.
