Well, what if there was a computer attached to it with sensors that could read your eyeball's orientation, and adjust the display so that the floating text appeared to be a stationary object.
Then, reading from a page would look about the same as looking at a semi-transparent monitor.
Is it possible to track an eye that fast?
I can see it now, "Vision Display 1.1, now with MotionPlus(tm)"
I was in the same situation, bored out of my mind working on a product that *nobody* cares about, let alone me; The product was mature, so there was very little development. Coming in to work was getting to be a major drag. I was starting to consider changing careers entirely, thinking I was a burn-out.
Fortunately, a new project popped up at work, and I was lucky enough to be on it, and it has definitely improved everything. I am having fun cranking out code just like "the good old days", so the burn-out thing was really just boredom, and knowing that the work I was doing was never going to affect, well, pretty much anyone.
So perhaps the question is, "How do I get onto a new project?"
Maybe it won't happen with your "manipulative jerks".
Maybe you have to come up with something completely new.
Are there other devs there too? Or other people who like to come up with product ideas?
I think I was pretty lucky. You may have to make your own luck here.
Thanks. You are right, much easier to read.
HEY YOU, EDITOR! Did you read this version?
Have you tried killing the unused apps instead of rebooting?
Just wondering...
No thanks. Made it all the way to page 2.
Perhaps it is hard to pump heat out of permafrost?
.. who then sell/lease them to their consumers with the myth that "If you want cable, you must use this box".
I am not sure if this is a myth... I am pretty sure that cable co's scramble most of their digital channels, requiring their descrambling equipment. You definitely cannot plug cable directly into your tv and get all channels, with Rogers here in Canada.
So, I won't be getting cable. OTA is good enough for me!
I spent a whole WEEK trying to get my MythTV to power down and bios-alarm-boot to wake up for recordings. It turned out that the new linux kernel modules for bios alarm did not think my bios could wake up (yet I could do it manually!), so I had to revert to an older kernel.
After seeing this article, I am glad I went through the hassle!
... where Firewire is absolutely better;
I disagree...
My firewire camcorder will transfer video at 1x. It is a FW-400 camcorder, and FW-400 only supported isochronous transfers. As such, the transfers ignored over half the available bandwidth of the bus.
USB camcorders, OTOH, would transfer as fast as the bus would allow.
On the plus side, I knew that if I was importing a 30 minute video, I could go watch a 30 minute show in the meantime!
FW IEEE-1394a added asynchronous support, but may have been too late; USB is ubiquitous on consumer grade cameras and camcorders, and firewire was dropped by MoBo manufacturers, and as you say, is now much less common.
Now, my desktop has a pair of USB3.0 ports (Teh box sez: "USB 3.0 10x super speed!" Oboy!). I did a quick search, but I did not find any devices that support FW S3200 yet, just 'spec approved'
But wait, if we heat the universe back up, we can fold it, and then cool it again and unfold it. If we orient the folds in the right way, we can jump to another location!
All we need is enough energy to warm up the entire universe.
Yes, but in a car, you can use the brakes to slow down...
Where were you when I was installing? I could'a used your help!
Yeah, should used the rpmfusion for something...
> Editing grub.conf and adding "rdblacklist=nouveau" to the end of the default boot line is great lengths?
You forgot:
- Ripping hair out when adding nouveav to modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (as suggested by nv installer) doesn't work
- Searching internet for an hour to figure out that you have to modify the grub configuration
I did try the nv config program, no luck
But hey, I'm not doing any 3D, and nouveau actually seems to be working quite well, taking the "Just Works" title away from nVidia.
I have always stuck to NVidia graphics cards, because of the great performance in Linux.
I have put up with the annoyance of having to rebuild my NVidia driver every time I have upgraded the kernel.
I have put up with the annoyance of having to go to lengths to disable the nouveau driver.
Now, however, I have a new system; Intel i7 8 cores, with a (bit of a wimpy) nVidia GF 8400GS. (Hey, it's a dev server, not a games machine.)
After installing Fedora 14 and doing the usual hassle of removing nouveau and installing nVidia, Gnome was REALLY slow. Rolling over menus could take up to
So I reinstalled with the fedora nouveau driver.
Now I am thinking that maybe I should have gone with ATI and their open source drivers.
Next time.
