    The FM Spec originally called for allocation all the way up to 109.1, but the ancient console radio/turntable in the lobby of Keeneland Hall at UK is the only one I've ever seen. If you're in Lexington, drop by take and look at it, its more fun the the UK basketball museum :-)

  3. Re:lots out there on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1

    Codewarrior has some nice features for sure, but after the license fiasco at UK, I'll never use it.

    Synopsis:
    For intro to programing (CS115) the gods above decide it was time to move to an IDE, so packaged with our text(excellent book for intro C/C++ programing BTW), they bundled a copy of CodeWarrior 4 that had license keys that expired about a week after classes began. So the CS department had to scramble with Metrowerks to get new keys, but I kept chuging along with HTML-Kit, puTTY and the student webserver, with my ~home/bin mounted on my windows box. Every program was compiled with -ansi and -wall switches. I double checked on codewarrior to make sure it would compile before submitting programs, but that was about it.

    Chicago (Win95) was set to ship at the earliest 4Q 93 (compute magazine), it shipped 3Q 95, with a switch from 16 to 32bits, now intel should be the one we should be bitching about, Merced was set to ship 4Q 98 or 99 (1992 predictions in Pop sci) it finally made it out of the gate 1Q/2Q 2001, that is a delay. I've never heard of Cairo shipping in 95, but if you've got documentation, back it up

    We'll if you were shooting for maximized bandwidth with minimized latency, I'd say an 18 wheeler loaded with 20GB DDS4 tapes would be ideal, though you would need to contract for driving ($0.50US/mile is a safe price, loading and unloading the trucks, not to mention convincing the authorities that a ~37,000 kilogram (80,000 pound/40 ton) truck traveling at 160 Kilometers/hour (100 miles/hour) doesn't deserve a speeding ticket.
    Of course if canadian laws allow heavier trucks (40 tons is the standard limit for US commerical rigs, coal trucks in KY and Chicken trucks in Arkansas have run heavier weights in the past).
    If someone has the size and weight of a DDS4 cartridge, please calculate the actual bandwidth below.

    Thank god for apache.
    Saturday morning I installed Apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.0.6, and MySQL 3.23.42 to test some PHP code on my home (WinME machine). 2 minutes after startup of httpd, the first nimda attack came, so I spent the rest of the morning hunting down a suitable kill script for the attacking machines.
    <div class="rant">
    It pisses me off to no end that 1. MS has such a grip on the corporate world's mind that they couldn't consider trying a more secure platform (Apache win32 isn't up to its big brothers quality yet, but at least it has fewer attacks running against it). 2. That when the little bastards who write this shit get caught, they get comunity service and minimal restitution.
    We don't need draconian laws regarding privacy, registering "Hackers" DNA samples, etc. What we do need is stiff punishment for those who do cost us millions of dollars in bandwidth and support time. Has anyone calculated how expensive the four biggest MS targeted attacks(ILOVEYOU, SirCAM, Sadmind/Code Red/Nimda, Anna Kournikova) were, I'd gamble it be enough to stuff a few pineapples up Bin Laden's ass.

    sorry I had to go OT, but as for your sig, SDI is not a rehash of the Ligne Maginot (Maginot line, for those of you who don't read french), unless of course W and those who follow him leave a gap in the coverage the size of belgum. Oh yeah, for SDI to be such a monumental failure, there would have been an attack that should have destroyed said dumbass nation launched in this same area within the last 20 years. The benefits of the US staying out of WWI would have been huge, and frankly would have saved millions of lives, across the world, not to mention removing the wart known as the French from the planet. Hell, wilson should have let the Kaiser have Quebec, just to fully get rid of those frog bastards.
