“Researchers at Woodend Hospital in Aberdeen, Scotland used a new form of magnetic resonance imaging to collect images from 22 healthy volunteers, who assumed three different sitting positions: slouching posture in which the body is hunched forward, an upright 90-degree sitting position, and a relaxed position where the subject reclined backward 135 degrees. They concluded that the reclined position is the best, and the forward slouch the worst.”

Eric Estrada carried a gun but rarely used it to stop bad guys in his 1970s TV police drama “CHiPs.” Now, the 57-year-old Estrada and other celebrities are training to carry guns for real, along with badges as Muncie reserve officers as part of a reality CBS TV show.

Estrada, La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, Wee Man and Trish Stratus spent part of Sunday listening to Muncie police officer Scott O’Dell bark orders at them in front of City Hall.

What a star-filled lineup!

Victory for cell phone users

But a ruling by the U.S. Copyright Office that went into effect Monday now allows cell phone users to legally break the software “lock” placed on their cell phones and move their phones from one carrier to another.

The ruling doesn’t prevent cellular companies from locking a phone, but if a consumer unlocks it he wouldn’t be in violation of copyright infringement rules, said Jennifer Granick, executive director of Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society.

care to explain the implications of this to us, chrome?

Vista Day 2 Part 2

Chromium FTW! (PC Tech)
Loading...

Well the crashes were consistent until I uninstalled FFDShow. Now I cant display the tv shows. I will try and find a work around. Xvid also crashes Explorer. I’ll have to try the latest DivX.

Burning a DVD is a nightmare so far. The built in programs are all but useless. I’m downloading a compatible version of Nero as we speak. Ugh reboot necessary for Nero install.

When you minimize Media Player 11 it gives you a little video window above it. Very neat. Surprisingly clear too.

Vista tribulations day 2.

Chromium FTW! (PC Tech)

I’m having problems getting winrar to work in Vista. The rights were a problem at first but now I’m having to extract things via remotting into the server I have running here. Not good.

 Also Firefox is completely buggy in Vista. Saving files slows things down to the point of unusability. So I’m working with IE7 now. Tabbed browsing is a bit different, but I’m getting somewhat accustomed to it.

Minimized icons in Aero Glass show a thumbnail of whats on screen when you hover over them. A cool effect for sure, but useful too. Much more useful maybe then the Switch Windows view which I thought would be more interactive somehow.

Gadgets are kind of a fun idea, but I’m wondering if their usefulness is worth the system resources. Especially since you can turn the opacity down on them, which leads me to believe graphically they are using even more resources. Also I would hope the limited selection is enhanced by homebrew. We’ll see how that all pans out I suppose.

I also finally found the old school Folder view options under Organize/Folder and Search Options. I believe in XP that was an option under tools? Anyways thats where it is, under Organize. Still can’t figure out how to get a run option on the start menu. Thank god for Windows R.

Incidentally I’m continuously amazed at the performance of the server in downloading news. It pulls in 800+ KBps minimally with peaks at 1500+ KBps. Thats an easy 50 megs per minute. I can pull down a full DVD in less than an hour and a half.

Weird. FFDShow just crashed Explorer. Now I have no explorer. Yet another incompatibility. I was trying to view a dvd of tv shows I had burned BTW. Evidently Vista is trying to use some preview view. Ugh.
