NO it's not. There are 35 cameras surrounding her, using bluescreen and compositing software in real time (to remove images from the other cameras as well as the blue screen background). This is also linked in real time to the cameras in the live studio, s that camera movements in the live studio generate the 'holo' image at the right perspective.

Unfortunately it's become quite evident over the past decade or so that increasingly people are lying to pollsters and polling numbers have become increasingly less useful. I'd like to see those margin of error numbers at least doubled for most of them to make any sense. "It's so simple to be wise.

Yes, it is working now. Is there still a daily update, if so I am not getting that it appears.

Hi Aaron, if your CPU load is sufficiently low right now on both client and server (assuming DB on separate machine here), the only thing I can think of that could improve overall elapsed time is using multiple processes, each with one STA thread, again assuming the job can be split in independent parts, that just share data at the database level. This would basically cost additional CPU cycles to perform the remoting, but it would increase parallelism on the DB operations. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] this months tips: - use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

We're a rural electric company, owned by the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, covering the FMIT Reservation along the Colorado River in AZ, NV, and CA. The whole reservation is only 60 sq miles, I believe, but we're one of 5 tribes in the country with our own utility infrastructure. We receive power via 3 69kV transmission lines, two from WAPA, one from UniSource, and operate a split distribution system - 12470V in the north, 24940V in the south, so it's a bit more complicated than most small utilities. The growth here has been astounding - 40% a year until recent months - and we're in the middle of some major projects. That means lots of changes to keep track of, and a steady stream of map requests for various views and feature sets. I've found ESRI to be an almost useless source of information, so an informal forum here would be a great resource, if we have enough players interested in the field. And, given the rapid acceptance of GIS in so many other fields, it would be a great way for non-GIS programmers to get familiar with the kinds of tasks they are probably going to be asked to take on in the future.

No such luck; their 30 ArcView licenses are all still 9.1 as far as I know. Apparently, the main reason they want to move to ArcIMS is because their IT guys already have it and they want to use it to consolidate their connections to the GIS system and abandon the 30 ArcView licenses. There's probably more to it, but I just came on board at the company and they've been planning this migration for most of the past year. Please don't bother me... I'm hacking code right now. Doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

Sounds like some cool stuff, I would love to take up sailing. I would say you and your crowd are definately not who he was targeting in the interview. This was part of the reason why the response I wrote on my site tried to break down the actual users of these tools, obviously I need to rethink my classifications a little, but I don't think I was far off. Oversimplified the lowest level of implementers. Paul Watson wrote: Are the digital systems poor? No they are not poor, they are actually very complex, but as you probably know from development, different mediums require different considerations. The biggest difference between paper and digital geography is probably just that, digital cartography actually is published over the internet and is displayed on a monitor. Also, digital cartography over the internet is more graphical and dynamic. Aaron _____________________________________________________________________ Our developers never release code.

I found in reading the blog there are allot of hidden functionalities built into it, like pressing 1 at load will run through a tour automatically changing view every 7 seconds.

I'm living proof of it as well. In 10 years time I've worked for 6 different employers. I don't mind collecting W-2's, and 401k's roll over. I have no problem letting my home phone ring, my cell phone ring, and my inbox fill up when it's not between the hours of 8am - 5pm. I know people who actually seem to have a Pavlovian response to telephones. The moment it rings they believe the world is going to end if they don't answer it. As far as I'm concerned, CallerID and answering machines are two of the best additions to modern life ever invented. I've been known to sit in front of the television and not even LOOK at the caller ID when the phone's ringing. Simply put, I don't care. If it's an emergency, then obviously they'll leave a message and I can get back to them. But that's just it: *I* decide what an emergency is for *me*. I don't give other people that power. I exist on this planet to enjoy life. And for me, that is defined as having time with my family. Any and all other considerations are secondary to that. In a conflict between my job and my family, my family will always win. I've had 5 different employers in my son's 7 years of life. But I've never missed a single event of his. I don't care if it's "crunch time" either. My son's 2nd grade play so greatly outranks any deliverable schedule as to be a laughable comparison. I've been fired before. It's no longer a mystery to me. Life goes on. There will *always* be another employer right around the corner for people with marketable skills.

That article's changed a lot about how I think socially...I won't go about searching for a third place now, but I think CodeProject is certainly a Third Place of what I do online. I come home, I play games or go online, I do my usual amateur development thing, and on certain nights I go to my real Third Place - the Church. TBH I see CodeProject as being a place to get banter or some programming-based talk, because I figure that people need people to talk to about what they want to. If I mention programming or dance music to any of my friends then I get funny looks. It's always good to get to somewhere, and talk to like-minded people. Not, that I'm saying anything bad about CodeProject. It even reminds me of Church - granted that it doesn't have 4.3 million members (it has almost 90) but the minister basically knows us all on first name terms. I went there for a month and found myself knee-deep in the annual pantomime. Now I'm so involved that I feel lost without being there. So to prevent an emotional spillage, and to sum up - CodeProject is a part of the online Third Place for me anyway, and I'd expect for most as well - we're all programmers. And the Church is just supportive (no, I'm not being paid to say this). Need Another Seven Acronyms... Confused? You will be...
