How much space does the video camera and fm radio take up on the new iPod nano?

April 3rd, 2011

Question by Giving Thanks<3: How much space does the video camera and fm radio take up on the new iPod nano?
I bought a 16gb and I have 5gb flat out, but none is downloaded on the iPod yet.
However, I figure the video camera and especially fm radio will take up a lot of space. Is that true? How much?

Star Trek Deep Space Nine – The Complete Seventh Season

January 22nd, 2011

Star Trek Deep Space Nine – The Complete Seventh Season

Episodes: Image in the Sand, Shadows and Symbols, Afterimage, Take Me Out to the Holosuite, Chrysalis, Treachery Faith and the Great River, Once More Unto the Breach, The Siege of AR-558, Covenant, It’s Only a Paper Moon, Prodigal Daughter, The Emperor’s New Cloak, Field of Fire, Chimera, Badda-Bing Badda-Bang, Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges, Penumbra, ‘Til Death Do Us Part, Strange Bedfellows, The Changing Face of Evil, When It Rains…, Tacking Into the Wind, Extreme Measures, The Dogs of War, What You Leave Behind Parts I and II. Deep Space Nine‘s seventh and final season came down to loose ends, tying some existing ones together while allowing others to unravel. Symptomatic of the unwillingness to let DS9 go was the immediate arrival of a replacement Dax, though poor Nichole deBoer as Ezri Dax had to have known she’d already missed the boat. Her appearance encouraged last-minute romances to blossom, with Bashir finally getting some action, Odo finally getting together with Kira, and Sisko finally proposing to Kassidy. Another contributing cute factor were numerous trips to the holosuite wherein the all-knowing Vic Fontaine dished out philosophical advice. That was when the crew wasn’t in there to play baseball against the Vulcans, or when Nog wasn’t commiserating about the loss of a leg.

Oh yes, and don’t forget the War! There was an early announcement that the show would attempt a 10-part resolution to the Dominion War, but viewers could be forgiven for forgetting all about it with so much sentimental distraction. When the horrors of war did resurface, they at least injected a few surprises into the mix. Odo and his ambiguously “evil” Founders were hit with a melting disease, prompting a backstabbing race for the power of developing and owning a cure. The original baddie Cardassians finally settled on the Federation’s side. Contrary to these interesting twists, however, were the unexpected turns taken by matters relating to Sisko’s spiritual destiny. Suddenly the mystery of the wormhole and an entire religious belief system was reduced to the problem of correctly translating the words of a sacred book. The struggle to join with some evil aliens significantly diluted the attempt at resolving what had begun seven years before in the show’s pilot episode. Ultimately, Sisko’s destiny, as with all those who’d followed him to the open-ended climax, was to be decided elsewhere. In a move that was either bold and daring–or possibly born of desperation for not having thought things through properly–the show’s storylines were to be continued in a series of spin-off books. –Paul Tonks

Top 5 reasons to take office space in Washington D.C

Looking for office space in America can be a confusing and tough business. Where to go, what kind of commercial real estate to take and how much to pay are all vital questions which you need to ask yourself before you make any serious commitment. I can’t help you with which type of commercial property to pick and how much to pay but I can help you with where you should go – Washington D.C.!

Yep, Washington D.C. is the obvious choice for any business looking to take office space in America. Below are my top 5 reasons to take office space in Washington D.C.

 

1. Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States! Founded in 1790, Washington D.C. now has a population of nearly 600,000, which swells to more than 1 million during the working week. This means any business placed in the capital will never be short of customers or neighbours! Home to 174 foreign embassies, Washington D.C. is governed by a mayor and a 13-member city council.

2. Washington office space is some of the best in the world. Rich in quality A-Grade commercial real estate, the state is home to the headquarters of some of the country’s biggest organizations, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States and the Pan America Health Organization. 5 of the Fortune 500 companies are also placed in Washington D.C.

3. Washington D.C. is located in the humid subtropical climate zone, which means it boasts hot and humid summers and fairly mild winters. This makes it perfect for businesses which enjoy the sun and spending their weekends outdoors in the heat.

4. On the back of the recent recession, Washington D.C. now boasts a growing, diversified economy. The state was one of the areas in the US which was least affected by the economic downturn – this is due to the fact that the government accounts for around 30% of all jobs in the Washington D.C area. In 2006, the state was named as one of the top 10 areas in the US which are most favourable to business expansion by Expansion Magazine, while the Washington Metropolitan Area had an unemployment rate of just 6.9% in January 2010.

5. Washington D.C. is full of things to do and see outside of office hours. The National Mall is a large, open park area in the center of the city. At the center of the Mall you’ll find the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Pier. Those interested in history will love the National Archives and the National Museum of Natural History, while sight-seers will love the Tidal Basin. The John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts is home to the National Symphony Orchestra, while sport-lovers will adore the state’s teams including the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals.

So there you have it; proof that Washington D.C. is an excellent choice for any business looking to take office space in the US.

How can radio waves continue to travel for ever in outer space?

How can radio waves continue to travel for ever in outer space?
On earth the radio waves from your favorite radio or TV station will only go 100 miles or so at the very most, but NASA and Astronomers say that they will travel almost for ever, or at least Billions and Trillions of miles with out stopping.
How is that possible?
