Don't forget a water filter...
Or something. If CT really *would* never leave the tub, he's better have something more effective than just a filter.
Maybe he'd just change out the water a lot...
Azimuth and elevation are simple up-and-down, left-to-right figures, useless in finding an object...
Well, since I have an amateur radio satellite earth station, I can tell you a little about this. The pointing commands to the antenna array *are* in terms of azimuth and elevation. For quickly-moving spacecraft, like those in low-earth orbit, I use software that calculates directly to az/el in real time from the satellite's Keplerian orbital elements.
While I don't currently track anything that's not in Earth orbit, given RA and Dec, the equivalant az and el for a given point on the Earth can be calculated.
who are stuck using inferior mice without enough buttons... Actually, this mouse would probably have a middle button, but apparently some silly person put a big red marble there instead. Think of it as a wheel mouse with two degrees of freedom on the wheel.
If you're into many-buttoned mice, why not just put puck feet on your keyboard? Go directly from Qwerty to Ouija. Do not pass Dvorak, do not collect $200.;-)
*More* than twenty years ago,I was present as a local savings bank had a new IBM 3211 "high-speed" impact printer deleivered for their brand new System/370 Model 145 mainframe.
This beast had to be 10 feet long, four feet deep and another four feet tall, and weighed at *least* a thousand pounds, so much that it was intended to be shipped on it's own built-in casters, then jacked up on pedestal feet, with the caster wheel stored inside against the day when the machine would have to be moved again, probably on it's way to the scrap heap.
The printer moved though shipment, onto the bank's loading dock and into the frieght elevator without incident.
Unfortunatly care was *not* observed that the floor of the freight elevator be close to even with the floor of the 10th floor, when three or four longshoreman-types applied all their muscle to get the thing moving out of the freight elevator car.
When the two caster wheels on the leading end of the printer met the edge of the building floor, they stopped cold. The printer, having much energy stored in it's mass, did not.
The wheels sheared right off, and the printer slid partway out onto the floor, leaving it halfway in and out of the door of the freight elevator, with no wheels underneith it.
Ther it stayed until the next day a plan was hatched: the elevator was placed under manual control and lifted about six inches, the printer was shoved as far as possible back into the car, the car was raised up about a foot above floor level, and an office furniture dolly was places onunder the now wheelless end, the elevator car lowered again to be *exactly* level with (or slightly above) the delivery floor level before attempting to wheel the behemoth offf to the "glass house" wheich was to be it's home.
This is the slippery slope you step onto starting with "it's OK for an ISP to implement a web cache".
Why an ISP should be permitted to modify, redirect or do *anything* to your traffic other than move it to its destination escapes me. I heard lots of handwaving about how OK it was from my ISP when they installed a webcache, but it was basically a load of hooey intended to justify degrading my service and pocketing the profits they made from doing so.
And what would Kaffe have to do with a good GPLed JVM? Transvirtual had much more to do with poisoning water than with oxygen supplies. By promoting MSs attempts to balkanize Java, they alientated much of the Java developer community.
2) Adopt Java. And give in to their arch-rival Sun. No company in any market would cave in like that.
Instead, they're asking/expecting everybody else to cave in *exactly* like that to.NET. That makes *exactly* that much sense. IBM doesn't seem to have had much of a problem "caving in" to thier arch-riva; Sun...and both Sun and IBM (and trhier customers) are the better for it.
This might have something to do with needing to write BAL to send data via a transport protocol embeded within a 3270 stream to a java 3270 emulator which retransmits the stream as xml
Pervert.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.:-)
That deal should be called the "Monte Cristo" protocol. I'm afraid to ask why somebody needs to do that, mostly because I'm sure there actually is an answer.
Well, you can now have your very own MVS system on the same desktop as your web browser...Check out Hercules
Yeah, a couple years ago when IBM was first bringing up Linux under VM/XA (or whatever the latest incarnation is called) , a friend of mine who was involved in that effort showed me that he was running VM/XA under Linux as well.

Quit trying to make everything MS does into a "Big Brother" issue. We will when they do.
You know, if this provision wasn't in the "Program Use Rights" (nee EULA), what they're proposing to do would be computer crime under existing law.
Not so much someone named//SYSIN DD * (which a stream starting with//SYSIN DD DATA could cope with, but rather somone named simply/* would be good. In any case, a well-coded "DLM=" parm would be a help.
Every once in a while someting stirs these old memories and it makes my brain hurt. I once had an ISPF display in a window on the same desktop with some Java source code in another window and my ears started to bleed.
7% December/00 to 26% January/02. That is quite a shift isn't it?
Are you counting dollars spent or units sold? The typical Wince box costs *bunches* more. And what matters to a developer is the size of the existing user base. Considering what a 900-lb marketing gorilla MS is, I think hanging on to market share the way PalmOS has is a remarkable success.
And I think PalmOS is going to be very happy running in future cellphones. I don't think we're gonna see Wince running on Palm iron anytime soon.:-)
As the saying goes, if you can't hit your target in six shots, what are you doing with a gun?
Pay attention, dear.
I said "if 9mm isn't hitting hard enough" not "if I spray 9mm all over the place without hitting my target" My point was two hits with 9mm carry more energy than one with a.357.
Also, I might be dealing with heavy clothing, or body armor...after two or three shots to center-of-mass I might need to try a headshot. With a.357 Magnum six-shooter, I'd only have two left for the headshot, which are very tricky, especially under stress.
Further, consider the possibility you have more than one target. I'm decently fast with a combat reload, but I'd prefer to not need to, and under ordinary circunstances I frequently don't have a spare mag handy.
After all, it's not like I'm a gun nut or something.:-)
for good 'ol ease of use and stopping power nothin beats a.357 Magnum S&W
.357 Mag is fine if you don't mind needing to reload more often and having a lower rate of fire; it's a revolver cartridge. There is a.357 Sig for autoloaders, as well as a.40 S&W. In fact, the.357 Sig is a.40 S&W case necked down to 9mm..357 Sig has 80% more energy than a 147gr in 9mm.
I'm quite happy with my 9mm carry piece; with pre-ban magazines I can carry it 13 rounds ready to go. If the 9mm isn't hitting hard enough, I'll just shoot twice.

..."United Linux", it will be interesting to hear from Linus on the subject. After all, he holds trademark rights in the name "Linux", as I recall.

...another thing plagarized from Opera...
:-)
;-)
Oh, dear...I suppose that choice of words is yet another way you can tell Opera isn't open-source.
So I assume Opera patented tabbed browsing then?
Get a real console. :-)
The tabbed browsing is nice, but I don't like how you have to "Alt-Shift-Click" to do it. Why not just Shift- or Control- click like Mozilla?
Or even better middle-button click....which for Linux users means both-buttons-at-once. Nice. No shifting required.
Tabbed browsing in Mozilla has vastly reduced my use of the "back" button...or context menu.
Of course I hear Opera (and the latest Konq) have tabbed browsing also.

True. Lots of places run S-M movies alongside Indiana Jones. I think it's the whip...
We named the dog "Indiana"...
