    Also note that USA acknowledged recently PKK/Kadek being a terrorist organization.

    No comment on whether they are or not (I haven't a clue), but that means jack. They said that the African National Congress was a terrorist organization.

  3. Serial on Steve Ballmer's $100 PC, Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    If it has at least one serial port I'll probably buy one. I only know PPC assembly, so I'd love to see a hundred dollar small factor PPC system, but whatever, I'll either learn x86 or just do it in C if I could build stuff for 100$+periferals. You can get a 16x4 alpha/numeric LCD for $25, and the interface is pretty easy. I'd probably want an FPGA just to simplify the interface, so that's an extra 15$. But total, that's less than 150 to build whatever coo thing you could want and have it be car mountable. This could be awesome for robotics as well.

  10. Re: parliament system on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    in a parlimentary system the parties are generally forced to have a platform that the people don't hate. I really wish that we had a system like Germany's though. Parties get seats proportional to their votes, so if the greens get 2% and the libertarians get 2%, they each get 2% of the seats.

    Wow, as soon as spotlight somes out they are going to bitch about how apple is stealing their idea. Maybe they will make a windows version though; every time that I am forced to work on a windows machine I miss Quicksilver.

    nah, it'd be way too expensive and they fuck us into always buying the newest format anyways so it doesn't really matter. We'll be using something completely different before a scheme like that would work,

    they brought the server back up but http is down. Only grad students have shell accounts to eecs. so all of us in the labs here are pissed as hell at him. If he'd put it on his engin space they would have just laughed at the spike, but eecs is a research server that's quite tiny (I don't know the specs off hand)

    I'd say rm -rf ~/* under his name and delete the account. A whole lot of us are stuck up here working without access to course websites.

    'under god' was added in order to specifically disenfranchise communists and atheists. THAT is why it is bad, not because of the G word. That's why 'in god we trust' is fine; it's intent wasn't discriminatory.
