The artist draws everything in vector and often puts a lot of little details into each frame.
A vector viewer is available (swf) allowing you to zoom in and appreciate all the little details.

Check them out. Definitely one of the most artsy comics I've seen online.

We've been touching monitors for quite a long time without any issue. It's been completely unnecessary up until now, but I doubt there will be many issues with monitors finally responding to user touch and doing something useful in return.

Been using NX for years, I love it.

Wish there were some more updates to nomachine... are there any other clients out there that are more up to date?

You're forgetting that a hybrid drive would be using NAND flash vs DRAM... NAND is a NVRAM and won't have to be flushed to disk in the event of a power outage. It is persistent.

That said, they may still use a little bit of DRAM cache in the drive.

Negative. NAND flash w/o active management is NOT a "safe" storage medium, especially in larger sizes of MLC flash.

NAND cells love to flip bits/etc. just for the fun of it. Unless you have some active process to continually check bits and verify they haven't changed, I would not trust it for long term storage.

It's true that NAND is non-volatile and will store electrons for a long period of time, but there isn't too much of a guarantee that the information recorded stays in-tact for long, unpowered bits of time.

Once you factor in the total cost of ownership for a disk-based SAN eg: heat/cooling/maintenance/etc... Flash is actually pretty cheap.

Sounds like they are just using different wavelength (wavelength = color) lasers to push multiple signals down the same strand...

This is an old idea and is already in use all over the world.

I saw that site a few weeks ago when folks were going gaga over PS's "new" feature (GIMP Resynth has been around for a few years now)...

I'm sure Adobe has seen it, I'm sure Adobe took the time to try and make theirs better.

The question is the Adobe implementation worth the cost of PS, or is the GIMP plugin "Good enough"

That really comes down to the consumer though. I think it is "Good enough" for my needs...I can easily touch-up anything it does that I disagree with.

And if you read Hack A Day, you could have read about it 5 days ago...

I have Verizon and pay $4/month for 400 txt messages...

That's $0.01/message.

And anyone in the US can get that.

WANem is a FANTASTIC product.

I use it heavily at work for generating latency into our net applications to see how they might behave across really shitty links.

It's great injecting out of sequence and randomly ordered packets at the click of a button =)

Quantum would be an atomically short distance...

IE: a "Quantum leap" is just an electron jumping to another valence level in an atom... it's not a very large distance =)

I think you are forgetting that Michael Jackson owns the rights to all of the Beatles songs (in a joint partnership with Sony).

He bought the company that held the rights for $47 million in 1985.
