I haven't seen anyone mention the classic bandsaw approach yet. You have to be careful not to try to saw right through the bearings, or you'll destroy the blade (DAMHIKT) but the result is a cool set of bookends.
(Use a bandsaw designed for cutting metal, not wood.)
No, they'd be property of Paramount too. It doesn't necessarily have to be done that way, but in practice writers don't generally get paid unless they sign contracts assigning the rights to their work to the party with the checkbook.
When I look at it and think about it, it's an interesting point. On the other hand, I once had a Natural knockoff that was very much like the Natural in many respects, except with real mechanical clicky keys. Ergo layout, clicky keys instead of mush, what could be finer? Plus it was cheap too.
That thing had one fatal flaw that was totally intolerable, and I never used it much. The fatal flaw: the damn 6 was on the right side of the split instead of the left. I never could get used to that, and it doomed the keyboard.
Fortunately, my original Natural is still working, even though I've typed more than 10 million words on the thing. It was one of the best hardware investments I ever made.
Since we're seeing light from the far distant past, and the Andromeda galaxy is quite some ways out there, I fully expect that by using this pixel lensing technique to detect things a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, we should see X-Wing fighters soon. Or at least Star Destroyers, if X-Wings are too small to resolve at this distance. We've never been able to find evidence of these vehicles outside of the Historical Documents, because we had heretofore been looking only inside our own dinky galaxy. I feel quite certain we must now be poised on the cusp of making this breakthrough discovery.
This is exciting news! It's probably the most fascinating thing to hit/. since discovering that 2842 will be the year of the Linux desktop!
Ohloh.net provides metrics, and the projects that are listed there are there because someone found them interesting enough to be worth tracking. They don't host projects. You imply that projects have left SourceForge for Ohloh to wind up "there" but that's nonsense. Ohloh tracks projects that are hosted all over the place. They don't host anything themselves. This is complete nonsense, and the people who modded you +5 "Insightful" clearly have no clue.
'Cuz those MPAA bastards at Paramount won't release the schematic to the fucking Genesis device. Sons of bitches! I could be drinking margaritas at the foot of Mons Olympus by now.
If I had mod points and if you weren't already +5, I'd mod this up.
Hear hear!
I did the same thing in about 2001, actually. I've never looked back. Color is useful once in a blue while, but hell, if I really NEED something printed in color, I just put it on a memory stick and take it to Walmart.
Inkjets suck. I detest them. Laser all the way! Plus my newest one has a crappy but useful duplexer that cuts my paper consumption in half, and further decreases the cost of care and feeding.
I find I buy toner about every three years, and by the time I wear out a drum unit, it's cheaper to buy a faster and more feature-packed printer than buy a drum for the old one.
These songs have been played since I was a kid....why are they censoring them NOW?!?!?
These songs have been censored on the radio since Tipper Gore. Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" also sent a lot of broadcasters out in search of people to wield censor sticks, with the resulting dumbing down of all kinds of things subsequent to that little fiasco.
You answered 31 out of 33 correctly â" 93.94 %
I agree with the discussion about #33 in particular though, and the various other heavily slanted questions. I played to win a high score, rather than choosing the "right" answers in these cases, because the political bent underlying the survey was pretty transparent.
I seriously wonder WTF was up with Plato and Aristotle on this too. American civics? Aristotle? That was one of the two I missed. I slept through philosophy class right after the guy started talking about his pink elephant.
I sold my soul. It was a financial train wreck for everybody, and my work is tied up in perpetuity at the bottom of a rubbish bin, with no clear way forward.
I should have said no to the money, and stayed open source.

You could just turn it over to someone else. You think carmack answers emails about DOOM?
He used to. Boy, those were the days. Who knew Carmack was going to rise so high? It's kind of like knowing Elvis when he was just some random kid.
I've driven over 1,000,000 miles (1,609,344 km) in the US, and I've seen cars burning on the side of the road twice.
Wow, Don, this is one to print and stick on the refrigerator.
This explains why so many people get the oil in their Bimmers changed at Walmart.

While Linus may have been right in this case (I really don't know), nobody is "always" right.
You just proved you're not married.
Wow. I've been stuck here for 15 minutes having horrible visions of my coworkers naked.
Must... make... it... stop...
Aiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Have you ever coded any games ? Do you know how long it takes ?
I've been waiting on Duke Nuke'em forever.
The words would be property of the writer...
No, they'd be property of Paramount too. It doesn't necessarily have to be done that way, but in practice writers don't generally get paid unless they sign contracts assigning the rights to their work to the party with the checkbook.

At least briefly anyway.
Heh. I'm a tire guy, a mechanic, and a Linux hacker.
GOTON?!
GOTON!!??!!
Your Geek Card is revoked. Hand it over!
A voting machine, or an ATM or something, I'm guessing.
Embedded helps. Now you just have to remove stupid users from the equation and I bet you have a dream job.
fixing desktop effects or making the kicker work. Its ridiculous.
Well, not so much for me. Until the kicker works, I'm pretty much convinced the KDE project is doomed.
If I had mod points and if you weren't already +5, I'd mod this up.

I prefer to moan. Moaning is much more effective than bitching.
Passport? You can go over 3,000 miles in a straight line in this country without leaving it. Who needs a passport?
Just have a care you don't get eaten by a velociraptor on your way out the door.

Doesn't work. The hippies will blow up your solar collectors because you're endangering the Desert Bumfuck Weevil.
