"This handy table shows the standard image resolution in pixels that average megapixel cameras will create. Remember: always use the highest resolution setting in your camera for images that you will want to print.

This table shows the optimal and minimum image resolution for printing at AdoramaPix%u2019s print sizes. We recommend image resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch inch (it’s abbreviated dpi for Dots Per Inch) for the best possible image quality, but we will print photos for images of at least 100 pixels per inch. Anything below that? You guessed it, the blocky blurriness.

Markus Zahn, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, a leading expert on electromagnetic and electronic systems in a rare move for any reputable academic has agreed to give Heins' creation an open-minded look rather than greet it with outright dismissal.

Contacted by phone a few hours after the test, Zahn is genuinely stumped – and surprised. He said the magnet shouldn't cause acceleration. "It's an unusual phenomena I wouldn't have predicted in advance. But I saw it. It's real. Now I'm just trying to figure it out."

There's no talk of perpetual motion. No whisper of broken scientific laws or free energy. Zahn would never go there – at least not yet. But he does see the potential for making electric motors more efficient, and this itself is no small feat.

In April 1985 cmu.edu, purdue.edu, rice.edu and ucla.edu were the first registered domain names.

The first .gov was css.gov and was registered in June 1985.

The first .org was mitre.org and was registered in July 1985.

Now for the first .com which was registered on March 15 1985 and it was symbolics.com which still happens to be up and running, although not much to look at.

There will never be an effective way to combat the sharing of music or digitized media.
Users will always find a way to circumvent copy restrictions.
In some cases it will continue to be so easy as to appear free.

Some companies, like Sony, hedge their investment; They produce the content, the duplicators, and the media.

It would be wise for the entertainment industry to invest in the media.]]> the balance http://jody.datacreek.com/index.php?itemid=94 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 18:12:09 -0700 <![CDATA[The Future of Reading]]> http://jody.datacreek.com/index.php?itemid=93 I do a lot of reading and have been waiting for a usable eBook reader for quite awhile. Reading lengthy text at a computer (even a laptop) is not as comfortable or convenient as a book but alas, no search, bookmark, notes, or lookup features with printed text.
The recent crop of eBook readers have either been too pricey or not feature feasible. The Amazon Kindle looks promising and I can see myself picking one up in a year or so or when the price drops.

Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered in a single pass about a dozen otherwise invisible galaxies halfway across the Universe. The discovery, based on a technique that exploits a first-class instrument, represents a major breakthrough in the field of galaxy 'hunting'.

"Speeding-Bullet Star Leaves Enormous Streak Across Sky

NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has spotted an amazingly long comet-like tail behind a star streaking through space at supersonic speeds. The star, named Mira after the Latin word for "wonderful," has been a favorite of astronomers for about 400 years. It is a fast-moving, older star called a red giant that sheds massive amounts of surface material.

The space-based Galaxy Evolution Explorer scanned the popular star during its ongoing survey of the entire sky in ultraviolet light. Astronomers then noticed what looked like a comet with a gargantuan tail. In fact, material blowing off Mira is forming a wake 13 light-years long, or about 20,000 times the"
