"Before the electrodes were implanted, the man was in what doctors call a minimally conscious state."
I've done a lot of things that woke up persons who were unconcious, but I never thought of electrodes. Thanks for the tip!
You know, I tried Ubuntu but I had such a hard time of getting it tweaked properly. I made the mistake of buying a Radeon x1300 with DVI and a dual screen set up. I downloaded appropriate drivers and set up the system (I'm no Linux genius, but I have made several Debian installs), but no matter what I did, the best I could settle for was running one screen in analog RGB on my computer's built-in Radeon Xpress, which was a bummer because I really wanted to try Beryl. After nearly a week of trying to get that running, and observing numerous interface bugs, and random crashing, I gave up on Ubuntu.
I know Linux is not necessarily to blame for ATIs problem, nevertheless I spent 50-60 hours trying to find some workable solution and found it cheaper to stay with windows -- probably until the time comes that I can go get an NVidia card.
Also as far as desktop experience goes, I do not think Ubuntu is quite there for desktop. I had to drop down to CLI to do most anything useful or important. If I could have gotten past that initial hardware phase, then I would surely have ditched windows.
As far as I know they already have a breathalyser system that is installed in the vehicles of repeat offenders during some kind of probationary period, or at least they made regular use of it in Fremont County, CO.
DUI is definitely a serious problem. I used to live in an apartment adjoining a bar parking lot, and I have had my vehicles hit 4 times in the space of a year, witnessed one drunk driver smash into 5 vehicles while attempting to escape pedestrians trying to forcibly remove him from a car, only to escape later into the neighborhood and have seen an exhorbitant number of assault cases centering around alcohol use.
Despite being a freedom lover, for a while there it came to the point of me standing outside in the parking lot with a 12 gauge shotgun just to ensure things were going well and traffic was exiting smoothly. Sometimes I wonder if irresponsible bar owners should not also be fined for helping to create a public nuisance for not cutting the people off when they should. I can count on the fingers of my right hand the number of cabs that were called in that time I lived there, and I will never forget how disgusted I was by the level of irresponsibility people display.
Even still, I don't think it is right that *I* should be subsidizing elimination of this behavior in terms of higher vehicle prices. I've already wasted enough time on those morons not to have to work for them as well.
*Where did I state or imply that what I was desribing as the de facto norm?*
If you aren't presenting it as such, than you are advocating a strong position with a weak argument for it.
Also, the "People can't even drive cars responsibly, so do X" argument is cliche, exaggerated, and incorrect. The fact is that *most* people can drive cars responsibly. Just because some idiots exist doesn't mean we should all be relegated to their status in order to level the playing field.
Instead of treating everyone like a bunch of idiots, let's give everyone as much freedom as they can handle and then turn our attention to keeping the idiots under control.
City manager of Tuttle decries more sophisticated attacks against his website, threatening legal ramifications against hacker terror networks who have targetted him for termination.
Programmers saved the day on Y2K, and if we can solve problems with millions of stochastic distributions like we solved linux, how hard could climatology possibly be?
Are slashdotters really that afraid of losing their beloved penguin due to global warming, or are they more concerned that the FreeBSD devil will take matters into his own hands once the earth becomes his paradise? Windows magnify the solar heat, the devil basks in it and penguins worldwide are roasted. I can see how this concerns us.
Personally I blame global warming on ATI and NVidia.
It's time us hackers learn how to root mother earth with binary trees so we can decrease our CO2 output. Barring that, Luke lived just fine on tatooine and it had TWO suns. You guys are pussies by comparison.
Worst case: we'll have more sand people to contend with and, of course, jawas selling us oil, but we can always cool off by freezing ourselves in C2, er carbonite. Alternately, it's cold enough in space. Maybe once Mos Isley is finished down in New Mexico we can get off this rock before it turns into another Alderan.
It seems like flamebait because this is the second time you posted on how horribly slow it is.
To me it seems fairly obvious that Microsoft allowed Foxpro to stagnate because they did not want it to compete with their other offerings - typical buy out the operation, take core technologies, and watch it die slowly hitjob. Every limitation of Foxpro is attributable to such stagnation, nevertheless while it may not be suited for enterprise development, I think it is very well suited for small business use. The problem IMO with foxpro is it is a victim of its own success. It worked very well and was very easy for RAD, but it didn't scale well to enterprise level. As far as money is concerned it maps to the curve of "we're beyond Access but can't yet afford SQL Server" fairly well. If you think Foxpro is bad try working for a company that has enterprise level demands on one stage and a fileserver full to the brim with terabytes of uncompacted Access databases on another. At least with foxpro it would be easier for the people who use Access to step away from editing the data by hand like they think they should be doing.
I would not venture to compare Foxpro to something like Oracle or SQL Server, but more to Access - against which it wins quite handily feature-wise, and as far as.NET is concerned I often find Foxpro to be the faster at database access.

Apartments don't get robbed; they get burglarized. And now I shall shut my troll hole.

Well fate better hurry the fuck up and stop gaming me with the near misses ;-)

So you'll hammer later
"Enterprisey" == "crash free"? Throw out all of our microkernel development, boys. Someone said enterprise is the ultimate in reliability.
So the typical slashdotter is just a terrorist waiting to happen? :goes back to reading anarchist's cookbook:

Yes, of course. Let's consider a scenario that is not likely to happen as if it will become the de facto norm.
This is real life, not a Quentin Tarantino flick.
Yes, but until you implement the proper inteface they are nothing. To compare apples to oranges, you need hot coffee.
