The 2.5 gigapixel image is a composition of images rather than a single image. TNO developed a sophisticated approach to merge the many images - all 600 of them. The photos were taken automatically using a modern consumer camera and a powerful 400 mm lens. The camera was positioned automatically using a computer-controlled pan-tilt unit. Each of the 600 photos overlaps, an arrangement that ensured very accurate positioning and enabled us to stitch the images automatically into one giant image of 78,797 by 31,565 pixels. The most difficult tasks were processing these large images and comparing the overlapping images. Looks like where images meet, moving objects would have moved on before the next shot.

President Bush says that now that the catastrophe has hit, government should swing into action and help people. I say, governments job was to prevent catastrophes like Katrina, and to be prepared. Its so American, wanting to be the hero and rescue survivors rather than the engineer to prevent the need. The municipal government is inept and had no ability to move people out of the city after it ordered a mandatory evacuation. There is only one road out of the city today. Worse, it is a cess pit of corpses, household and industrial toxins, water snakes, floating balls of red ants, and alligators. There is no organized way to get people out and no way to feed those trapped there. But the media is dwelling on looting. We've been aware of New Orleans inevitable horror for decades, and absolutely nothing sufficient was done about it. The levees, now broken and filling the city, were supposedly designed to protect against a Category Three hurricane, yet Katrina was only a Two when it hit. Its a major port, crucial to the nation. Shouldnt everything have been better and higher? Listening to Haley Barbour, the Governor of Mississippi, and Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans yesterday, I have the feeling that Southern corruption and conservative hatred of taxes has taken a hit. There seems to be no means to find out how many people are dead or missing without counting bodies, even in general terms. This, after an event long predicted. The Gulf Coast just had a long predicted catastrophe for which evidence shows no realistic preparations had been made despite previous hurricanes and floods. But the looters are black, so lets focus on that moral breakdown of American society and not on the hugely corrupt and incompetent governments along the Gulf coast for a half century.

Re: [H] activation of XP questions
Robert Turnbull [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's a scrap that I picked up somewhere - not sure where: When you activate windows it gives you the option to do it automatically or by phone. If you do it automatically your computer sends an ID code to Microsoft and if the code is accepted Microsoft sends back an activation code which is stored in an encrypted file in the system32 folder (wpa.dbl) To get around this you should choose to activate by phone. This will open a window giving you a phone number to call, an ID number, and a set of blocks to type in the [WPA] key. When you call the number you get an automated system that will ask you to read the ID number. If it accepts the number it will give you the [WPA] key a few numbers at a time. it will ask you if you got the numbers after each set and give you the option to have them repeated. Just write down the numbers the first time and ask to have them repeated and type them in the appropriate box the second time. Keep doing that until you have all the numbers, and then activate your windows installation. Keep the [WPA] key with your installation disk and you can use it to activate windows as many times as you want. Just choose activate by phone and type in the [WPA key you saved].

Who doesn't have a video camera these days? I don't have a video camera. :) Exactly. The point was just how out of touch the haves in our Western culture are. 15% of the worlds population uses 90% of the worlds consumables. Why are there poor societies? People live in resource poor places, or the system of government in the area is corrupt or unable to improve the quality of life for the citizenry. It's their fault we (generally, as a nation) drive a 2500 lb. SUV 1/2 mile to the convenience store instead of walking; creating the fattest people in history? (rhetorical question :) ) Americans are so busy feeding the throw-away consumer treadmill, they are completely out of touch with the reality of the world situation. And the marketers (Madison Ave,) are doing their best to keep the wool pulled over our eyes. I would say that it's not just America, but all Western societies. Yes, I wish I had made that clear. Kids refusing to go to school because they don't have the latest $250 sneakers. I have a friend who loves Tommy Hillfigure --SP He only buys Tommy clothing. Then that kid is out of style. Tommy Hilfiger has not been cool in quite a long time. Thanks for proving my point. :) That said, I have had some Tommy clothing that has been through hell and back. It's held up well under use - probably better than clothes that I could have bought at Wal-Mart. While the clothing may be stylish oftentimes it is also made better. Something that is a little more expensive but lasts is better than something cheap but only lasts two or three washes. But that's you, and a few other smart consumers. Just guessing here; most purchases are made for style. Level of importance: Brand 98% how many times it goes through the wash 2% He thinks his worth can be measured by his stuff. Get the right car, get the girl. Wear the latest shirt, you are a success. Unfortunately right now our society places a high value on image. And where did that come from? Is that the message we learned form: our parents? (sometimes, and/or a little; but what parents say and do is often quite different. ( don't cheat; then get a ticket for speeding)) our civic leaders? (hahaha) our religious leaders, our teachers? I came from blind greed capitalism. Capitalism that thinks it's OK to make a science of exploiting the the weakest in human nature. In my opinion, it's not OK to Pavlov's Dog me with Intel's, Bing Bing Bing Bing. (you know the audio, it just went off in your head, right on que) I mean who do we think we are? Are we entitled to cut all the old growth forrest, extract all the crude oil, etc.. in 150 years, leaving nothing to our great grand children but debt to China? You think any other nation does as much for environmental conservation as the USA? We lead the way in preserving the environment. I really meant, again, Western Culture, like above. Sorry I didn't make it more clear. The scary part is the rest of the world is waking up and saying; Where is my 2500 lb. SUV to drive 1/4 mile to the video store? regards, Al There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order. -Ed Howdershelt (Author)
Standard of living - was - cars was [H] google search for failure
Hey ppl, Lots of good replies from the group; FROM: But I'm not about to feel guilty for buying and driving a vehicle I like and can afford. Paraphrase: Of the things to consider, the environment is not a factor. I have the bucks and I want it. After all, it's all about me. Until then (the pie in the shy perfect electric car), I'm going to buy vehicles with big fat V8's. I have a justification for my excess, because there is no alternative I like. Because it's all about me, remember? TO: The most enlightened comment of the discussion: I think that's his point. Either you honestly don't feel guilty, or you choose not too. The question is - shouldn't one feel guilty about buying more of anything than one needs when there are other people in one's own country (I'm not talking Africa, I'm talking Canada and the US) who can't afford what they need? Shouldn't one buy the vehicle one needs and then use any money saved on helping someone else? I don't have an answer to this, and I certainly buy more than I need. But I think in a world of finite resources, our consume as much as we can mentality is going to take us down a bad road. Most got sidetracked with the 2500 lb error, which should have been 3500+ lb. A good side discussion on alternate energy was started. But there was little on the idea of excessive lifestyle. Here is an example: Has anyone reading this ever tried to get unbleached butt-wipe paper? Whenever I ask, I'm looked at like I'm crazy. The bleaching process is tough on the environment. and unnecessary. Butt-wipe paper should be made of almost 100% recycled paper and most of all unbleached. Yuck. I'm not wiping my ass with that!, Nothing but pure white paper touches my ass; (to use 2 seconds and flush away). (I have had ppl react to the suggestion of unbleached TP; just that way.) This is the kind of excessive lifestyle that is crammed down our ears by the marketers. Ever notice how much toothpaste is put on the toothbrush in the commercial? It has to be at least three times what one would need. This subconscious brow beating to excess is everywhere in advertizing. Leading us back to my comment Blind greed capitalism has the Western Culture (double for Americans) hoodwinked into thinking bigger, faster, more, and the some more after that is the way to a happy life. Buy now; and save. regards, Al
Re: Standard of living - was - cars was [H] google search for failure
P.S. Let me say, if one wants to drive a big fat V8, I believe in freedom. Please drive one. But that driver should pay for the extra pollution.

I may have pie in the sky requirements before alternative energy cars are appealing to me, yes, but you have pie in the sky requirements about life itself. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. You should drive what you want, but the true cost of driving it should be carried by you. There is no cost added to your need to drive a big fat V8 for the damage it does to the planet. No matter how good it is, it pollutes more than smaller ones and should be priced accordingly. No motor vehicle on the road is so priced. No appliance, or any other consumable has the true planet view cost reflected in it's price. The debt will be paid by someone, and it's immoral to shove it off on the future. That's the fact an already overcrowded planet needs to wake up to and fast. As for my pie in the sky requirements, is wanting non bleached paper on the shelf next to the higher priced (to reflect the true environment cost) bleached paper so out of line?
