Probably not too expensive of an option would be to put flash memory inside to store the value and embed a solar cell on the card to read the memory and then display the value.
is ncftp. It's got filename completion and all the file shell commands. I resort to it when mozilla chokes (which is most of the time) -- especially when getting large files.
Wha?! I'm finding out that SBC is running TV advertisements that basically are complaints how ATT and Sprint won't share their lines, preventing SBC from offering long distance in some states. Googling for more info, I find their own FAQ (sbc.com -> Regulatory affairs -> Competition and long distance -> Local competition).
The story short seems that SBC wants to expand on multiple fronts. I only hope this is truly for competitive purposes and not monopolistic intentions.
I was trying to think how MS could use this as a tactic, such as them coming back a little later to say how linux is able to compete "unfairly" and thus urge the government to step in and block open source development. And then MS could step in and save the world.
Strange things have already happened, such as the former MS security chief
Howard Schmidt being appointed by Bush. the I could be way off though.
But generally, private companies say municipal telecoms create unfair competition because they have no need to make profits or pay off debts quickly, have preferential access to digging streets and other "rights of way" and are owned by cities that have regulatory power over the industry.
Knee-jerk reaction to this is that for-profit private companies are jealous and greedy. I thought that's why companies decide to merge or buy out one another./me shrugs. I thought we were living in the land of capitalism -- guess I was wrong.
Since analysing food nutrition compositions I can tell when my body needs fat, when it needs protein, etc. I know my body needs X to do Y. No sugar cravings whatsoever and even the thought of fast food is repulsive. I avoid artifical sweeteners like aspartame. I prepare my own food now, reading labels of processed (canned) foods to reverse engineer what to add to get more or less the same thing, at a small expense of color and texture. But I don't really care, it all goes to the same place. It makes it trivial to repplace lard or hydrogenated oils (read: artery-clogging trans fatty acids) with olive oil, for example.
Also, go aand look at the label of refried beans and compare non-fiber carbs to protein. It's about 2:1 in processed beans compared to 1:1 in dry beans.
I hate how "the food industry" cheapens the nutritional value of food and am saddened how they are able to market any old shit at inflated prices and people continue to lap it up. We really need to listen to our bodies more and think about what we dump into it.
I heard of this disaster on the radio while driving and thought the same thing. That makes 2 disasters since I learned about Slashdot.
This is end of the a manned space program, at least for the short-term. Also I can't help but think there would be too much a liabilty issue for even private companies to venture manned space flight. You'd have to be someone like Hadden (reference: Contact) to go it alone, I suppose.
I kind of disagree about the bus speed. Yes, they aren't using DDR (i believe), but they are using 166 MHz. It *used* to be that their FSB speeds were waaaaay behind the x86 world. When x86 was more or less around 100/133 MHz, apple was still hovering around 50 MHz.
Besides, IIRC it has been argued that adding DDR doesn't automatically double performance.
Here, here! I for one am glad to see this information starting to enter the mainstream press -- that genetics isn't everything. From the article:
"Not only does cloning not produce a physical duplicate, but it can never reproduce the behavior or personality of a cat that you want to keep around.
I really hate it when the media plays up the evocation "aw, how cute!" when comparing the appearance of human identical twins. I couldn't decide whether it was the media being stupid, or the media thinking people are stupid, or people being stupid.
Sorry for the gripe...better go get myself a cuppa joe.
"Every kid does it, so let's facilitate some standards in the marketplace.""
Kids (have sex | burn CDs | drink alcohol) whether they admit it or not, and they know they do it. (Condoms | Blank CD-R's | alcohol ) are fairly available, too. Society promotes all these items. Therefore, how is the consumer supposed to differentiate this tax from any other "sin tax" used to raise revenue? Maybe there should also be an "intercourse tax" on birth control.
...if you have a net connection. maybe VoIP will replace everything one day, one which I would like to have now actually. Also it would be nice for users to put up a block on their firewall to screen out people such as telemarketers.
Also don't forget that you won't have to raise your hands at the wrist quite so much as you do for a keyboard.
I think the take-home message is that it is natural for the wrist joint to lie straight. If you have to raise at the wrist now, then you are doing it incorrectly. Try to lower your keyboard or raise your chair.
If so, then I would like to submit respectfully to Taco that given the track record here with respect to reposts, isn't it reasonable to ask for a warning or disclaimer up-front? At least for a little while?

This also reveals that the ultimate demise of the Universe is a Big Crunch.
Acutally it was Homer Simpson's sneeze.

It is indeed looking like telecomm is eyeing tele-entertainment, just as other have suggested here already.

Is that on air or on water?

Can parachuting from 40 miles high (65 km) really be feasible? Wouldn't you burn up?
nah, CRC errors.

Don't give them any ideas....
Too late. Just two words: legislative record.
