We use Papervision Enterprise and Paperflow Pro both by Digitech Systems to batch scan and ocr thousands of pages a day. We have been quite happy with it for the 7 years that we have been using it.

Colliding Particles Can Make Black Holes After All 269

cremeglace writes with this excerpt from ScienceNOW: "You've heard the controversy. Particle physicists predict the world's new highest-energy atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, might create tiny black holes, which they say would be a fantastic discovery. Some doomsayers fear those black holes might gobble up the Earth — physicists say that's impossible — and have petitioned the United Nations to stop the $5.5 billion LHC. Curiously, though, nobody had ever shown that the prevailing theory of gravity, Einstein's theory of general relativity, actually predicts that a black hole can be made this way. Now a computer model shows conclusively for the first time that a particle collision really can make a black hole." That said, they estimate the required energy for creating a black hole this way to be roughly "a quintillion times higher than the LHC's maximum"; though if one of the theories requiring compact extra dimensions is true, the energy could be lower.

I have Surewest HDTV over IP, ITs a 6mb DSL connection. 3mb dedicated for TV, 3mb for everything else. The tv connection is excellent quality, I have had no complaints from the roomates as far as latency goes. They are able to still play WoW 50 - 100ms pings while TV is going and while I am downloading torrents. My connection is not fiber, this is served out over the copper, and from what I have read about hdtv, all it requires is 1.5mb minimum.
