To the casual reader, it looks like Timbo is replying to this post:
Yes, how dare you philistines mock the $1,095 HDMI cable? The zeros and ones are so much sharper and clearer than the zeros and ones transmitted over cheap cable.
This is why we quote excessively.
no, we don't
How do you quote?
A succinct answer and basically correct.
My understanding of this is the clever part is the very short pulsed laser combined with a very short exposure camera. Each laser pulse send lots of photons together in a bunch across the field of view of the camera. Some clever camera synchronisation allows each "frame" taken by the camera to be slightly (pico seconds) later than the previous one. When run as a movie, this appears to show a light pulse as moves across the field of view.
However, it doesn't take a picture of a single photon - it takes pictures of a bunch of photons and neither does it take a movie of the same bunch of photons moving across the field of view - each frame is taken of a different laser pulse.
(for simplicity I've ignored the fact that the camera is a line scan camera rather than full frame camera)
It isn't called "football" (that is a different game, where the foot is used most of the time to move the ball), it is called "american football". The first word of this should explain everything...
It is a standard Micromouse maze which has been around since the late 1970s (what do you mean you haven't heard of it?). 16 x 16 grid 180mm square.
Err. No.
Wall following only works if there is only one possible route to the centre without back tracking. With more than one route (as per these mazes), wall following will cause you to go around in circles and will never solve.
I'm with you on this. It looks to me that someone took time and care over it to keep the tracking to a minimum but not anything special. I have a draw full of PCBs which are similar and I don't claim to be particularly good at PCB design.
Well that already exists...

At the moment, the energy absorbed by the antenna isn't going anywhere as nobody has invented a suitable diode. It therefore will just end up as heat anyway.
This isn't actually gaining you anything as a black sheet of paper will do this job equally as well.
OK, Cough up. Which one do you use?
I use LastPass which seems to do the job for me though I'm always a bit scared that there may be some security issue with it.
I went to see "Paul" last night - the latest Simon Pegg movie. I loved it.
I say let's put filtering ! Now the game will be to put porn on governmental websites, report them, and see what happens.

It went out on the 16th.
Yeah, I love it too but I'm still suspicious of it. What are the possible holes?
So what do people think of Lastpass and the like? It gives a single point of failure and you have to trust them (which I do for everything apart from my bank stuff). It does allow you to use impossible to guess (nor remember!) passwords though with a different one for each account.
