8mm my ass. More like 8 cm.

I bet the camera here is modified from a phone camera (an LG Revolution or something). My phone camera is 8 MP (HTC Inspire), which isn't shabby. It looks like they have a series of LED lights, a camera-phone camera, and more-than-one optical mouse LED/CMOS points to capture twisting and write the info on the fly instead of relying completely on software to autostitch similar data together.

The predefined depth-of-focus of about a cm and the optical mouse info would be all this has over my phone (which has a light with adjustable brightness next to the camera)... so, I was honestly expecting someone to reply 'yeah, here are some phone apps that can do this with varying degrees of quality'.

High-resolution scanning? No.>> ^bamdrew:
isn't this something a phone camera should be able to do decently?

A quick look at the Daily Show stuff is because they're trying to make it as difficult as possible to match embeds to one another. The two embeds for the same video given above use src:

There are other reasons for the other examples. All should be fixed now.

You have some good links, thanks. It clearly points out that both parties spend like there is no tomorrow. Nothing like spending others people money.
Thank GOD that the TEA PARTY was able to infiltrate the Republican party and start holding these jackals feet to the fire. Hopefully the Democrats can get some TEA PARTY members on their side and together the TEA PARTY can stop this wasteful spending. >> ^NetRunner:

Kinda not sure what you're talking about.

The first link shows that the deficit would be 0 if we unwound everything Bush did, and the second one shows that the bulk of the debt we have today was the result of Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, and that Obama will be the first Democrat since FDR to preside over a deficit, and yet it'll still be a smaller one than Reagan ever ran...

The biggest source of debt is tax cuts, starting with Reagan. Clinton got the budget balanced with tax increases and spending cuts, Bush & the Republicans unbalanced it again with tax cuts.

Democrats have essentially always cared about debt and deficits more than anyone else. Look back at historical campaigns, even as far back as the 19th century.

This link was broken the other day, but here's what our future deficit problems are being caused by:

Yeah those patriots, who would kill our country to save it. Those brave men who want to sink our economy, estinguish our good credit, and topple the dollar from its position as the worlds default reserve currency.

My 401k, house value, and weak dollar all thank these principled, delusional, stupid men. May they burn in hell for what they are doing.>> ^bobknight33:

@goemon

I think you misread what I said. I wasn't praising them for showing up, I was praising them for their calm response to 2.5 hours of grandstanding by a bunch of groups that clearly showed up with the intent of trying to make the government look as bad as possible so they could make this misleading video and further promote their agendas. I was also praising the genuine compassion that several of the representatives showed in response to the few local people who actually stood up to tell their stories.

Do you have links to the statements you made above? Nothing in your post seems to be hyperlinked...and Japanese-only is fine. If you're up on current affairs in Japan, then you're aware of the scandal involving Kyushu Electric and its shady campaign to get the nuclear reactors down there started up again. I haven't seen anything credible yet though about the government covering things up.

Why should the meeting have been locals only? Well, the meeting was entitled "Negotiating the rights of Fukushima disaster victims" which implies that the people doing the speaking should have been the locals and not a bunch of anti-nuclear groups looking to make a name for themselves. The "outsiders" weren't there to negotiate, they were there to record themselves making speeches against these government representatives and then edit out the representatives' replies later on. That's what pissed me off about this clip.

Again, I'm not saying Fukushima people don't have anything to be angry about. But shady tactics like this by people who aren't even in the disaster area are not helping things at all.

The very high angular resolving power will be achieved when used in conjunction with a ground-based system of radio-telescopes and interferometrical methods, operating at wavelengths of 1.35–6.0, 18.0 and 92.0 cm. With its Earth-based companions, it will form a network able to provide detailed images of the universe at 1,000 times the resolution attainable using the Hubble Space Telescope. -wiki

The title is quite misleading. Hubble is a visible/UV telescope, where this one is a radio telescope. They image completely different parts of the spectrum. Think of the comparison of the ground-based VLA and VLT telescopes: quite different instruments.

Yeah, how can any radio telescope be remotely as sharp as a visible light telescope? At that frequency it's hard to get high angular resolution from a single dish.



Ok, that's believable. But the title and summary clearly imply that this single instrument will be 1,000 times sharper than the HST.

Thanks for you votes, Llama. In commemoration of your bronze, here's a video with a llama.
