Re: Adapting adaptive optics

Err paranoid much?

Did it every occur to you that the required adaptations for orbital mechanics may be completely different to those compensating for atmospheric interference?

Did it occur to you that this gets around the size requirements for getting big mirrors into orbit?

Did you notice you yourself said "reduce" atmospheric interference - not eliminate.

Did it occur that disregarding AO you can get better images in space.

Did it.....sheesh enough already.

Re: Overlooking a lot of devices

Forget tablets. Many Android phones would compete with this lot. Especially ebay'd second hand with damaged screens.

Re: and still they

Not convinced.

All the APU's have going for them is graphical grunt - which gives absolutely no Edge in Ultrabooks or Tablets which are all about battery life something AMD is notoriously lousy at.

Intels process effeciency (22 vs 32 nm) and power management advantages will kill AMD in every sector of the market.

Platform advantages are spurious and transitory - Ivy Bridge is a drop in replacement for Sandy Bridge in most MB's. Besides both Intel and AMD have a history of socket changes - niether hae managed it well and arguably AMD have done it worse.

I would hesitate to call you a fanboi but those are some mighty AMD tinted specs you wear.

I would dearly love to be wrong but I dont think I am.

Crucial difference

Buying something through a third party to get a good price is legal.

Selling something you had no rights to sell is fraud.

Re: Price?

Really? Care to post some substantiation for those comments?

Without them you just look like a fanboi.

Re: Broke my iPhone

Correction. Your statement should read

"Unable to comprehend that you have the fix but you dont want to apply it coz you are waiting for the magic fairies to come and make it all better."

Once you have exhausted the different USB ports/cables, different computers, fresh install of iTunes options you are left with the Aliens option.

Re: Shameless rip off

Really? When was this? I have had "UK Traintimes" on various iOS devices for at least 2-3 years and only paid once.

Re: I'm guessing Nokia saw the HTC One

Hello Barry. Paranoid much?

Re: The Bell Curve

Yes but whats actually likely to be the biggest variable Ability or the Content of the course/paper.

I would assume the latter by a significant amount.

I've also seen the bell curve model work well at Uni. We had a radically different, harder course to the previous years Quantum Mechanics course and to cut a long story short the pass mark dropped to around 35% and a first could be had for about 55% if memory serves, yet the number in each of the grades were roughly the same as compared to the previous year.

Re: any other accelerator built by humanity

I would assume that non-humans particle accelerators are more powerful. If only for the fact that they are attached to their frikkin space sharks at the head of their invasion fleet.

@Barry

Silly me - I thought the only requirement for down voting a trolling fanboi was that we actually hate the crap you post regardless of who our employers are.

Re: Not just Pete Shelley

Not forgetting the Frankie Goes to Hollywood game. With Hock a Logie spitting sub game if I remember rightly. Was standalone though - didnt come on a B side afaik.

Re: ...anywhere within 24 hrs

Duh. Did you miss the bit about near infra red?

NOTW did not fake the recruitment agency message - it was a wrong number.
