This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

Or is it relevant because it teaches us something useful to know about ourselves??

I knew that a conversation with the author would not settle such questions, because a man is not the same as his writing: in the last analysis, the questions had to be settled by the work itself.

I suggested that one must let it in because it is the truth, but Beckett did not take to the word truth.

That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate from the material it accommodates.

It is because there is not only darkness but also light that our situation becomes inexplicable.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

Jazz is good not only because it promotes wholeness but because of its decided sexual effect.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

This is because up to 2 / 3 of the backlight power of LCD and rear-projection displays are lost to the RGB stripe filter.

TFT-LCD is a variant of LCD which is now the dominant technology used for computer monitors.

This trade-off is asserted to work well on LCD flat panel monitors.

Because ClearType utilizes the physical layout of the red, green and blue pigments of the LCD screen, it is sensitive to the orientation of the display.

The best option for users of Windows XP having rotated LCD displays ( Tablet PCs or swivel-stand LCD displays ) is using regular anti-aliasing, or switching off font-smoothing altogether.

A digital synthesizer is basically a computer with ( often ) a piano-keyboard and a LCD as an interface.

< ol >< li > polarizer | Polarizing filter film with a vertical axis to polarize light as it enters .</ li > < li > Glass substrate with Indium tin oxide | ITO electrode s. The shapes of these electrodes will determine the shapes that will appear when the LCD is turned ON.

( In a backlit LCD, this layer is replaced with a light source.

A liquid crystal display ( LCD ) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals.

The LCD is more energy efficient and can be disposed of more safely than a CRT.

The managing and control of the data to be displayed is performed by one or more circuits commonly denoted as LCD drivers.

* CCFL: The LCD panel is lit ( usually ) by two cold cathode fluorescent lamps placed at opposite edges of the display.

* EL-WLED: The LCD panel is lit by a row of white LEDs placed at one or more edges of the screen.

Some LCD monitors using this technology have a feature called " Dynamic Contrast " where the backlight is dimmed to the brightest color that appears on the screen, allowing the 1000: 1 contrast ratio of the LCD panel to be scaled to different light intensities, resulting in the " 30000: 1 " contrast ratios seen in the advertising on some of these monitors.

* WLED array: The LCD panel is lit by a full array of white LEDs placed behind a diffuser behind the panel.

This implementation is most popular on professional graphics editing LCD displays.

Instead, interfacing is accomplished using either adhesive plastic ribbon with conductive traces glued to the edges of the LCD panel, or with an elastomeric connector, which is a strip of rubber or silicone with alternating layers of conductive and insulating pathways, pressed between contact pads on the LCD and mating contact pads on a circuit board.

In-plane switching is an LCD technology that aligns the liquid crystals in a plane parallel to the glass substrates.

However, not every LCD manufacturer conforms to the ISO standard and the ISO standard is quite often interpreted in different ways.

In addition to over, Porter and Duff defined the compositing operators in, held out by ( usually abbreviated out ), atop, and xor ( and the reverse operators rover, rin, rout, and ratop ) from a consideration of choices in blending the colors of two pixels when their coverage is, conceptually, overlaid orthogonally:

where is the result of the operation, is the color of the pixel in element A, is the color of the pixel in element B, and and are the alpha of the pixels in elements A and B respectively.

A linear charge coupled device ( CCD ) array with 200 pixels is used as the detector.

In HR-CS AAS background correction is carried out mathematically in the software using information from detector pixels that are not used for measuring atomic absorption ; hence, in contrast to LS AAS, no additional components are required for background correction.

It has already been mentioned that in HR-CS AAS lamp flicker noise is eliminated using correction pixels.

In fact, any increase or decrease in radiation intensity that is observed to the same extent at all pixels chosen for correction is eliminated by the correction algorithm.

Dot matrix printers can either be character-based or line-based ( that is, a single horizontal series of pixels across the page ), referring to the configuration of the print head.

Another distinction is between image order algorithms, which iterate over pixels of the image plane, and object order algorithms, which iterate over objects in the scene.

Generally object order is more efficient, as there are usually fewer objects in a scene than pixels.

As a consequence of the Nyquist – Shannon sampling theorem, any spatial waveform that can be displayed must consist of at least two pixels, which is proportional to image resolution.

* Display resolution is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed.

Most printers already use such small pixels that aliasing is rarely a problem and, in any case, they don't have the addressable fixed subpixels ClearType requires.

For example, if a flat-panel display is examined under a magnifying glass, the pixels may appear as follows:

More precisely, the positions of the pixels and subpixels on the screen must be exactly known to the computer to which it is connected.

This is the case for flat-panel displays, on which the positions of the pixels are permanently fixed by the design of the screen itself.

This image of diatomaceous earth particles in water is at a scale of 6. 236 pixels / micrometer, the entire image covers a region of approximately 1. 13 by 0. 69 millimeter.

One of several different HDTV formats that can be transmitted over DTV is: 1280 × 720 pixels in progressive scan mode ( abbreviated 720p ) or 1920 × 1080 pixels in interlaced video mode ( 1080i ).

Since every frame is an orthogonal bitmap digital image it comprises a raster of pixels.

If it has a width of W pixels and a height of H pixels we say that the frame size is WxH.

This is because ( through some unknown path ) the pixels on the other side of the mark can be reached and painted in the future.
