It's the difference between recall and recognition. In general, everyone is better at recognition than recall. The joy in watching movies over and over again, could be: There is something in the specifics (fine details that typically splits

If Polio counts, then small pox MUST count. We did an even better job with small pox than polio.

Having played with a Torch... yes, that ad is simulated imagery. Yes, the actual Torch isn't quite as snappy as the ad. But, its almost as snappy as the ad. As in, if you really weren't paying attention, you wouldn't notice. This isn't like

Not just the impressionists. Most of the "classic" western painters and most people trained in those schools don't use black. One reason is that that black does not exist in nature. Or rather, almost never exists in nature, and these school

Digital paintings still shy away from #000000 black in paintings. It still often looks wrong. It'll flatten out just about anything you put it on. The relationships between colours stay the same in RGB as in pigment. It's just that colours

Hey there. I just finished off a year in residence, so I think I can offer a few pointers. Especially regarding metal. First of all, if possible, play your favourite metal really loud. A metal head (or RA) will knock on your door. Second of

The easy jokes are all there. Engineering school gender ratios can really do some funny things to your head. It really does make you value whatever relationships you build with the other gender a lot more. And I'm saying that from the persp

But it's not like boost-phase intercept is a magic bullet (ha!). Well, really, it generally takes a magic bullet. Launch sites are typically far away. Unless you have a interceptor several times faster (or interceptor site much closer to th

To be fair, initial stealth technology wasn't even THAT expensive. The initial development of 'true' stealth (Pave Blue/F-117) cost about 2 Billion USD in R&D and a total of about 7 Billion for all the planes and everything else. Furthe

I imagine like everything in aerospace, 'just scaling up' isn't as simple as it is. Drag increases non-linearly as you scale up for one thing, and with something as tricky as the rotors of helicopter, you probably have to do all sorts of nu

HDR and the tone-mapped results of HDR images have been used somewhat interchangeably for the last while (go look at flickr or deviantart). When someone shows you an 'HDR' image, its just 'understood' (or misunderstood...) as the result of

At least in Ontario, alcohol has the tax wrapped in the price as well. Well, at least at stores, don't remember about restaurants.

Try Waterloo Canada! It's a couple hours out of Toronto, and has a pretty strong technology and startup sector. RIM is based here, and many large tech and software companies have their Canadian offices (the non marketing offices) in the are

I swear SC1 had rewinding in its replays. Or at least jumping to the past. And from what I remember, SC1 replays recorded all user inputs, timing data, as well as w/e the unit AI (pathfinding and auto attack) did. This would cause some prob

8 percent? Good luck getting the world to just 'divert' 8% of their GDP to build this stuff. That much vaunted US military spending? The one that outspends the entire rest of the world? That's 4% of your GDP.

It's very hard to cut the cable with standard lock cutters. There are specific cable cutters (usually used in construction) work that can cut through the cable a lot easier though. Unfortunately, the weakest part of the locks is either the

Totally different style of play. It's very similar to the difference between Halo and UT2k4. Not only do the econs function differently, I always felt that SC was more micro intensive, or at least when it actually comes to combat. SC also u

There's a difference between militarization and weaponization. As noted, space has been militarized for a long time. There's a crap load of military equipment floating up there. "True" weaponization of space would be putting orbital to surf
