    Question about SETI

    Aren't analog signals exactly what we'd want to be looking for? I.e. we don't want to find civilization's who have our latest technology finally reach us from far away, they'd be ridiculously far ahead of us when we finally recieved those newer signals it'd be unrealistic to interface with...

    Pattern recognition using neural networks.

    I did this about a year ago for a Computer Vision class. The way we did it was to analyze a set of faces (for us the 20+ people in the class) and generate what they called "eigenfaces", which are analagous to eigenvectors when solving Linear systems. These won't look like faces for the most...

    $5 GC @ BestBuy (In Store) for doing survey

    I was just at the BestBuy in Bellevue, WA and they had some people doing a survey that was connected to Xbox Live and Media Center PC somehow. The survey was quick (2-3 minutes if you read fast, 5 if you read slow) and you got a $5 gift card out of it. I asked and they said they'd be there...

    $9.98 Clearance Collapsable Camping chairs @ Target YMMV

    I was just at the Target in Redmond, WA and noticed a large (~25) stack of folding camping chairs, the ones that colapse inwards to fit in their 3 ft long, 6-10 inch diameter bags, on Clearance. They're great for watching sporting events at fields that don't have bleachers too, and these...

    Coax Cable Wireless Inside House

    It's an apartment and old, so things like crawl space aren't exactly in existence in it. I'd personally agree with the cable on the ceiling, but the lady friend won't go for that. Are those wireless transmitter/recievers okay for quality? I mean it only has to go like 10-15ft. Also, i have...

    Coax Cable Wireless Inside House

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to wirelessly transmit my cable signal in my house. My cable outlet is in a bad place for where I want my TV, so I'd like to hook up a transmitter at the outlet to turn the signal wireless, then have a reciever at the digital cable box to receive it and turn it back to...

    $.19 each for digital prints on fujifilm paper at Costco

    You can upload pics to walmart.com and order 4x6 prints for $0.26/print and pick them up for free. It takes a few days usually (which I don't really understand why, it'd seem easy to have them ready the next day), but its pretty cheap, widely available, doesn't require a membership and lets you...

    DEAD 17" vprMatrix (OEM Samsung!) LCD $300 after MIR @ Best Buy

    I checked out this monitor last night at bb against the kogi. Now i didn't do any games, but for reading text i actually thought the kogi was better. Here's what i think the vpr's downfall is: The vga cord is long, like 12 ft long. At first the CSR person had it plugged into an extension...

    Circuit Madness

    Perhaps you should try e mailing panasonic or sony or someone who makes audio devices for cars and see how they handle it (tell them you're doing a student project ;^). I mean the problem is analagous to an in-dash cd player stopping itself from spinning and turning off when the car is shut...

    **Super HOT** Linksys EtherFast 4-Port Cable/DSL Router BEFSR41 + PNY 128MB SDRAM only $39.99 + Free Shipping (AC/AR))

    I think you could add a small item to bring the total before rebates to over $100 (its $99.98 as it stands) and then call up to use a office max 25 off 100 to save an additional $5. Just my $0.02 ... get it $100 - $99.98 = .... oh never mind thanks for the deal

    Resolution Coversion

    A microcontroller will be responsible for implementing the correct algorithm to match each VGA resolution/freqeuency to the NTSC standard. I'm in school for computer engineering, so i have plenty of access to both parts and facilities for assembling/testing, but most of the parts can be gotten...

    Resolution Coversion

    Perhaps yes, perhaps no. TV Out on older cards requires the screen to be set at the same resolution as the picture out to the TV (namely 640x480 or 800x600), whereas I'd rather have nice graphics on my monitor and have them display as best they can on the tv. Also I have a laptop with no TV...

    Resolution Coversion

    I'm looking for some formulas/methods (very explicit) to convert resolutions to smaller sizes. Specifically I want to know the formula(s) scan converters use to get from 1280x1024 at 85Hz (and lower) down to the NTSC format. I.e if i had a screen frame in a buffer from a 1280x1024 85Hz signal...

    General purpose CPU's, pipelining sweetspot?

    That was a fairly good, albeit long, description of a out-of-order superscalar processor. However, I think the question to stay on topic should be asked: Did Sunner want to know the optimal length for pipelining in the strictest sense (i.e. direct extensions of the orignal MIPS 5 stage...

    General purpose CPU's, pipelining sweetspot?

    Actually, that's not true at all. In just a pipeline nothing behind it can process while an instruction further ahead is waiting. True in a pipeline you could have the request for the mem access happen early in the pipe and then use it later to hide the latency, but if the memory isn't ready...

    General purpose CPU's, pipelining sweetspot?

    Okay, so I remember my professor talking about this and I went back to review his notes online, but I don't remember exactly what he was talking about and would need to review my notes to find out. But basically when adding more stages to a pipeline, you add more latches (per gate delays within...

    That I can do. UPC 6 62705 32992 5 SKU 3C10439U (on box) SKU 066270532992 (on the receipt from the register, rang up at $9.99 originally then adjusted to $0.25) Good luck, I'll see what I can do for the receipt.

    SMOKING!!! Apollo 2500 IJ printer $19.94 @ Target B&M YMMV

    They have a bunch (~10) at the target in Eau Caire, WI plus they're an additional 15% off, so that takes it down in the neighborhood of $16. My dad has one of these and like AnyMal said don't expect any thing extraordinary, but they do a reasonable job.

    $0.25 Palm V Portable Keyboard at OD B&M (Clearance)

    Yes, they did. It rang up as $9.99, then they discounted $9.99, then they put in $0.25. I'd scan the receipt but i'm at work for the summer and my scanner is at home.

    Are there any physicists in the house? I need your help..

    You're completely correct. I was trying to simplify too much and thinking in 1D, pretending that the celestial bodies moved just up-down, which is obviously incorrect. Good thing i was of a clearer mind when I did my last calc tutoring sessions a month ago. Question: Is there any way to...

    ergeorge Umm the parametric equations won't actually give out a constant speed: x = a1 cos [2pi/period(earth)*(t)] y = b1 sin [2pi/period(earth)*(t)] dx/dt = -a1*(2pi/period(earth)) sin [2pi/period(earth)*(t)] dy/dt = b1*(2pi/period(earth)) cos [2pi/period(earth)*(t)] dy/dx = - b1/a1 cot...

    $0.25 Palm V Portable Keyboard at OD B&M (Clearance)

    So I stopped in Office Depot (Eau Claire, WI) to get the Imation CDR/Slim case deal and I saw some Palm V portable keyboards in the clearance section marked down to $2.58 from $9.99 w/ an additional 50% off. Now seeing as these are retailed at $99.99 and don't usually sell for less than $50-$60...

    ATI Radeon 32 SDR (PCI) with TV-out for ~$25.00 (1/2 off) at Office Depot

    No, it can't use different resolutions, or at least if it can, i haven't found a way and i've played with it a lot. I'd assume this is because the tv-out doesn't do any graphics processing it just convverts it to a NTSC signal. For anyone trying the second monitor (or more) the experience...

    Free Yahoo POP3 email

    I'm confused as to why someone would need a different smtp server? It seems to me that by whatever method you connect to the internet, they provide you with a smtp server to use. Is there some advantage to using a different smtp server that i'm missing? Thanks,

    Are there any physicists in the house? I need your help..

    I don't know what the name for the curve would be, but using simple superposition you should be able to get an equation to toss into MatLab to generate a plot. The earth is eliptical so its position in a x-y coordinate system (choose the major axis to contain the +/- x directions) would be...

    Different speed grades of the same processor

    It is also possible to have two chips with no layout changes between the two which are available at different speeds. This is because the fab process isn't totally exact; i mean they're good, but they're not good at say a level of atoms. For example, when they hit the masks with light in...
