Actually, you's probably want a multiple of 28 years, so that the days of the week line up. For a short period of time, a multiple of 7 is probably OK, but if you pass over any leap years, they'll throw things off.
That works fine for 28/56/84 year "anniversaries" but once you cross 100 things start getting wonky, especially once you cross 1582 (the year).
So we were lucky that 2000 was a leap year? (happens once every 400 years).
I'd really like to see this done with Anne Frank as well. I've actually suspected that this would be done with a nice round number of years since the events, such as 100 years later.
what's so bad about it? this one says it was designed for blind users. why would they need a screen?
Actually, this one which is designed for blind users really does fill a need. I found it while gooling for another model, that was a real flop. I still cannot find the one I'm looking for.
Except that the pun only works if you write it in Hebrew letters, in which peh and feh look exactly alike when unvowelized.
Also written in English or vocalized P and F are similar enough for the pun to be recognized. Like writing the word 'punny', one can recognize both roots 'pun' and 'funny'.
Well blocking street cameras would be easy. Just put a film over the plate that blocks visibility from above but not from a straight on view (like those screens people put on their computer monitors that block viewing it from the sides). However, having these things on an actual police car is more sinister. However, assuming that the system looks for the plate in a specific location on a car, you could always take it off and put it in your back window or something to throw it off...
Or maybe just pay your insurance? The person you run over will appreciate it.
If I moved to Israel I would hate to be told that "Michael Smith" sounds like a rude word in the local language and I couldn't use my normal email address.
What does Michael Smith sound like in Hebrew? I cannot think of a single dirty Hebrew phrase that sounds like Michael Smith, especially since Michael is a Hebrew name ("Mi CaEl"- "Who is like God?" in Hebrew).
Jewish people here occasionally have a chuckle at the name of our Friends Of The Zoos society.
Potz is more of a Yiddish term than Hebrew, though I do believe that most American Jews are of Yiddish-language decent. In any case, nice one! The Kia car company is another funny one in Hebrew, the name means "vomit".
Do you have it backwards? Bridged hosts are bridged to the LAN and have their own IP address. NAT'd hosts have a RFC1918 address and share the host's IP address on the LAN.
I might have it backwards regarding shared addresses, but I'm pretty sure that I'm using bridged networking. I'll check when I get home.
In any case, I'd still like to hear more about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Last time I saw a specification for the laser mounted in a modified 747, it had 30 seconds of firing capacity, and was capable of being turned on and off at will.
That 30 seconds was considered sufficient to engage something like 5-15 targets.
The YAL-1 (Y: experimental | A: attack | L: laser?) is good for 20 high powered shots, or 40 low power. It must then land to refuel the laser. The jet engines can refuel in midair.
I couldn't get the networking to work in NAT mode, and bridging mode on a laptop ain't always the best idea.
Why not? I'm pretty sure my XP VM connects via bridging (the host is Kubuntu). I also could not get NAT to work, but as I don't need the VM having it's own unique address on the 'LAN' I saw no problem with bridging. This is on a Dell Inspiron laptop, by the way.

Now we know where all that matter is...
I don't type much. Just under 50 texts a day on average.
I also don't read /. much. I probably hit F5 no more than 50 times a day.

What is really important is this: does it work on a Pirate-bay Edition Vista or not?
There, fixed that for you.
That's just tasteless.
Mod parent enlightened!
Thing is, Jobs thinks buttons are stupid.
That explains those shirts!
So no screen, and no buttons... makes for a rather interesting interface (unless you `talk' numbers into the phone).
Maybe it is a Guantanamo Bay model: you get what you want out of it by punching and kicking it.

He doesn't say it does. He says he would hate to be told that it does and be forbidden an email address based on his name as a result.
Ah, I see now. His username is MichaelSmith, so one could assume that really is his name, not a specific example. I did not notice that before.
...are a bad idea.

Posting on /.?
You posted that same question yesterday.
You posted that same reply tomorrow.
Let me guess... it's giving you a hadron?
No, it's giving me a Heron.

1. X-37B is correct.
2. X-40A was a 'previous configuration'
I don't suppose the next version will be X-34C?
Maybe you're right, unless that long time schoolyard bully is a multinational corporation and we were fucking adults.
Right, because fucking kids gets your . turned into O in jail.

I'm happy.
So does SolidWorks 2006. I'm happy.
Yep.

Sadly,if your skin is brown and you have oil it makes you collateral damage.
I'm as white as #FFFFFF and the only oil I have comes from olives.
Sadly, it makes you someone who watches wwwwaaayyyy to much Fox TV.
I don't even own a TV...
