I'm just curious as to why you picked the ImageTank over a microdrive. I don't really know a whole lot about the topic, but I just see it as a feature on all the mid level and abover digital cameras.
We use the broken window because no matter how cool all that is, the overall product will be a broken piece of shit that will cause pain to many of us.
One of the costliest things is a cache miss, and if one were able to share the caches between two cores it would greatly decrease the number of misses. (no need to have everything in their twice)
I've spent a decent part of my life and if you manage to get them to remove the keypad I am going to track you down, impale you on a giant spike and slowly roast you over burning cow dung. (-:
for data entry, the keypad is the only thing that works even reasonably well and it is much faster than the top row.
puppet PPronunciation Key(ppt) n. A small figure of a person or animal, having a cloth body and hollow head, designed to be fitted over and manipulated by the hand.
A figure having jointed parts animated from above by strings or wires; a marionette.
A toy representing a human figure; a doll.
One whose behavior is determined by the will of others: a political puppet.
so it looks as though a marionet is a sub division of puppet
eh, I think you need to give marketers their due. there will be 500 rebranded options of the same prodeuct at widely varying price differences so that the cool people spend more for the same thing
I'm taking Polish I in a few weeks, so this post interested me quite a bit more than it normally would and it gave me two ideas. One is that you could use your family to help pick colours for gifts and things. And the other would be to print out a colour circle and have you and your wife both fill it out. The latter could be extremely interesting in seeing where exactly the differences are.
Not to critisize your choice as you are perfectly within your rights to use any operating system you wish.. but why not put windows 2k on the beast? I've had such a horrible time with ME that I normally put 9x on any machine that needs programs that cannot be run on an NT kernel.
"The WTO sucks! Ha!", it's almost worst.. at least we had some dignity before in naivety.
I think this is the key. When only 1% of the population gives a shit about an issue, they really can't do anything unless they happen to be the 1% who own everything. But, if the people who are paying attention can force a lot of the general public to realize what is going on, than maybe they can remove the dignity in not caring and possible cause action. (still a long shot though)
The protests and actions also work as internal rallying calls as well. It is pretty depressing to be against anything in the government these days. At/. we know that we are not alone in disliking the patriot act, but what about all of the people in middle america who think that everyone else supports it. It isn't an end in itself, but protests can be positive forces. I think a lot of their power was destroyed when people stopped caring and it stopped being bad to be seen at one. If it were the possible end to their career if a celeberty were to show up at a rally, the action of showing up would have a lot stronger effect.
the street protests in seattle actually were effective. They made the WTO and IMF publically known. (how many of us would know about them if it weren't for the coverage of the protest?)
1. Software EXchange. A technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had been terribly slow up until then. Today, SEX parties are popular among hackers and others (of course, these are no longer limited to exchanges of genetic software). In general, SEX parties are a Good Thing, but unprotected SEX can propagate a virus. See also pubic directory.
2. The rather Freudian mnemonic often used for Sign EXtend, a machine instruction found in the PDP-11 and many other architectures. The RCA 1802 chip used in the early Elf and SuperElf personal computers had a 'SEt X register' SEX instruction, but this seems to have had little folkloric impact. The Data General instruction set also had SEX.
DEC's engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used the SEX mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once) marketing wasn't asleep and forced a change. That wasn't the last time this happened, either. The author of The Intel 8086 Primer, who was one of the original designers of the 8086, noted that there was originally a SEX instruction on that processor, too. He says that Intel management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and thus the instruction was renamed CBW and CWD (depending on what was being extended). Amusingly, the Intel 8048 (the microcontroller used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing straight SEX but has logical-or and logical-and instructions ORL and ANL.
The Motorola 6809, used in the Radio Shack Color Computer and in U.K.'s 'Dragon 32' personal computer, actually had an official SEX instruction; the 6502 in the Apple II with which it competed did not. British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical level) have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an apple.
If you had some time and some energy (well, a lot of time) you could change your metabolism. Your body is quite marvelous at adapting and also has a lot longer attention span than most of our minds have. The last trip I took that changed my body a fair bit was a >20 day hiking trip out west. My personal feeling (well, at least for me, I can't really say for anyone else) is that it takes 2 weeks for an extreme change (such as walking 15 hours a day) to really begin to make a permanent change. (well, probably not permanent, but long lasting) This also doubles as a lifestyle change. From walking that much, it still feels natural for me to walk, so I think nothing of walking the 3 miles to work that most people just gawk at (not that they couldn't, they juswt don't)
So I'm not atually disagreeing with you, just adding that you are no imprisoned, if you decide that you really want to change the way that your body works, it is possible. It just takes a lot more time than most people are willing to put forward (i.e. I would really like to get some more upper body muscle mass, but I'm too lazy to work out consistantly over a long period. If I can't find decent work soon [hate my current job] then I am going to try to get a job helping out a contractor, that way I would be using my upper body ~20 hours a week at least and after a year I'm sure that I would have taught my body to rearange my muscle mass)
complete BS on my part, but what if it were a spiffy 17" LCD that ran off of your main computer, but had enough power that you could take it around the house and use it to control itunes (and airport express), write simple emails from other rooms, surf the web while watching tv.
I dunno, if I could get that for 500$ i'd probably really think about it. All the power would hopefully be run on the main computer, and it would normally be plugged in, but a detatchable tablet would kinda kick ass

that's why some books should be taught instead of merely read (-:

Well, they are skipping on of the main ones.

I was giving them a few years to pretend to try to actually apply communism
"post-communist state ruled by mafia and corruption."
wouldn't that be the Soviet Union 1930-today?
apple replaced it with the clear key, which is at least functional

goto is a tool, it is neither implicitely good or bad, but merely a tool that can easily be misused.
That being said, gotos are sometimes the best and simplest solution and should remain.
but then people bitch. I prefer the OSX style solution. any program that needs to do admin things must get your password.

I used to own an 84 sunbird. It actually lasted till early this year. What a POS.

naw, actually he's a centrist. Now NDP, you are allowed to call them left (but not far left)
