Sounds like some of the old british workhouses, they had a large wheel that was like a rudimentary stairmaster, used it for power where a watermill wasn't effective and mules were too expensive
my vote is for the mullet, of course its not really a day event, its a lifestyle.

I don't know, US Department of Defense seems to like it, maybe a core of people who were used to programing in a other languages ran a sucessful FUD campaign against it in another era, the results are still visible. I look forward to a similar situation in C vs. C++ and C++ vs. Java over the next 20 years, with other battles such as perl vs. any other scripting langauges (Python, CSH, Ruby, C#, et al)
My high school calc teacher made us devise a mathmatical name/expresion for ourselves that became the bonus questions on exams when evaluated with her criteria, it made for some interesting examples especially a girl in there that was named Xelpha
I don't remember the Perl4 to Perl5.x transition, but does anybody else feel like the community is unfairly giving Larry Wall shit about his creation. I tend to believe in having the creator of a tool to have the ultimate decision in what happens to his or her baby.
Just a correction, on intel's site the PIII 1.13 is supposed to be released again in Late Q2/Early Q3 and there is some newfangled FCPGA2 that abit is selling on their new boards (ST6) that I can't find any info about on Intel's site. So maybe the PIII isn't dead yet.
I don't know, as we now have "large american penis", why would we want to be japanese.
BTW Moderators, if you don't find this funny, you should watch South Park, they'll make fun of anybody, even "Alabama Man"

So is this thing going to jump out in front of a Chinese F-8 killing its brave patriotic pilot?
Scheduled release for Windows XP is in the near future, but I don't belive it has went gold yet, I say M$FT breaks everything again, or in a friendly windowsupdate patch soon after release.
This question is a great way to ferret out how many microsoft employees actually read slashdot.
Does anyone know what the FCPGA-2 is? Google, Ask Jeeves, and Excite all throw a ton of Intel developer documents on the organic grid array substrate, as related to FC-PGA, but Abit has new SE6/SA6R type boards (ST6 and another) which supposedly supports the "upcoming FCPGA-2" SA6R is already an i815EP, which is the latest PIII board intel offers (has ICH2), but I can't tell any discernable difference between the new and the older boards.
Get into the 3-D accelerator market and bundle it with a USB hub with controler ports and a card reader and a DVD/CD drive that can read PS 1/2 games. I gamble they can get a PS/2 down to a AGP board or an AGP/PCI dual board board solution with a MSRP of 299, or better yet if they want to increase PC marketshare, only have it on VAIO's
Note back to summer of 95 in an issue of Family PC.
There are few apps ready that take advantadge of windows 95's new features, but many will be coming in the future.
It take time for software developers to optimize for new OS and/or hardware, look at the optimization for... (x86/pPro/PII/PIII/Athlon)switches in the various compilers and which ones are missing in yours today or the fact that nvidia card don't have games that absolutely require them until much after their release dates.
All I am saying is that over time developers learn the advantadges over time and begin to use them to their fullest, win 95 and nvidia have survived doing this for years and Mac survived the m68xxx/powerPC/G# switch before.
Novell, they surely could help your techs spend the cash for three more client licenses. University of Kentucky has a large collection of G3 macs spread out over our student labs novell network and we used to have a shit load of powermacs from 25-200 mhz, so it can be done
It needs to be an imac style PC, with PCI and AGP slots mounted in back, below the monitor tube, it could probably be hacked together, but sheilding the disks would be my question.
pop quiz hot shot. In what movie was the word Unix released onto the non-computing world.
A: None other than Jurasic Park.
I bought Wayne Knight (Newman from Seinfield) as the eccentric, money grubbing coder, the file browser was unbelievable (has anyone hacked that one together for real world use?), and the little girl saved the day. While the hacking was a short part of the movie, it was a nice touch
I finally got my system up and running today again (shipped with a fried stick of SDRAM, not sure how that one got out the door) decidied that it was time to do the windows equivalent of using dkpg, hit windows update. Fresh JVM, DirectX8a, IE 5.5sp1 build, the whole nine yards, just completed ~1.5 hrs ago. No warnings there at Win Update, I have to go to an "alternative focus" web site to get word that I have a huge security leak on my system. I wonder why the apache team even bothers making a win32 port if the system gets wiped out by a newbie admin who checked his mail from the web server.
IANAL or an expert on the GPL, but this would be an interesting test case.
Say we have this "improved" DirectX for GNU/Linux with specific calls that are in a GPL'ed library.
If it was found that say Age of Empires 3 was using such a call without being under the GPL would the community have a snowballs chance in hell of winning a court battle?
Question, why the alienware boxen?...those things are pretty and typically use good componets, but my understanding that they really don't target the "value/governmental" purchaser.
Its not bad in Lex if you are part of the Good Ol Boys network or don't mind working for UK or startups that fail due to Jim Host's Interference, but besides that, the Databeam/Lexmark/Lotus/IBM connection here in Lex is great.
Most computers sold by the big retailers and online for the last two years have been selling this crack too
We'll cut you a $400 rebate on this $800(retail) machine and you get internet acess for "free", but were going to charge you $21.95 for the next 36 months, which comes to 790.20 + the 400 up front that's 10.84% interest, and you can't upgrade to DSL/Cable/Sat/Wireless/Next big thing service.
My bank charges 8.9% APR on computer loans and I pay 14.95 for 250 hrs/mo for dialup or 50 for DSL, I'll pay the extra 400 up front thank you
Sounds interesting, but here at UK we run into a situation where a cable modem is in a dorm room with four RJ-45 jacks, let's say my luser roommate (true story) is still paying aol 9.95/mo on the bring your own access plan and I want to run a fat apache/MySQL box so I can learn how to admin a machine. Unfortunately, the whole damned campus is dynamically IPed, your solution wouldn't work out in this case, or we would have to move approx 4000 addresses to static and have more tech support calls because the lusers tinker with their network settings.
It's a reference implementation of a browser/editor that is standards compliant and nothing else, it should be ugly, there is no sense in pouring donated money and/or time into UI development just to produce a reference implementation of a browser that people are rarely going to use.
One item to note is that amaya is great for MathML development, but HTML-Kit (my primary editor) has a great plug in as well for MathML.

No need to explain, nearest net access to Knoxville TN is at Oak Ridge.
