It's even more obvious your an idiot. Have you ever designed a PCI bus add in card? Try it, you'll find that you have to use what could be called a packet based protocol to get anything done.
Okay, I stand corrected on the PCI speed. (But there is some overhead on the PCI bus, so it will be a little slower than 1056Mbps) The point I am trying to make that isn't getting across is that the slasheditor thought 800Mbps firewire(or ieee something) made sense and was fast. Serial for graphics does not make sense, and is not fast.
A serial graphics bus at 800Mbs is about as fast
as twice PCI 1x. The AGP 8x that is mentioned is 2Gbyte per second. or about 20Gbs or 20000 Mbs.
Why do you think the graphics chips boast 256bit wide interfaces? AGP is 64 bits wide. Serial cannot compete.
Last I heard the 340 MB microdrive was priced at $399. Considering that there is not more than $150 in parts here (not including the microdrive), These guys are getting quite the markup. I build robots for a hobby and chase every interesting SBC out there. You can get just as much or a whole lot more for a lot cheaper. Although in the robot clubs it is becoming common place to use a PC motherboard for brains, if size isn't an issue. (Size and battery power are one thing, but money is a bigger issue)
How many chapters? 10? 15? SK will make vastly more money (he only makes 3 or 4 dollars per hardcover, which is more than almost any Author) with this scheme than with a publisher. Assuming people pay. I think he should put the entire book up for $5 or $6, and let me pay that to download it. Then I am assured that the ending will be published, and SK makes out better than with any publisher, and I get a SK novel for way cheaper than a hardcover. Of course maybe paperback pricing is more appropriate.
Moderate this Furd up. He hit the nail on the head. To answer why not methenol, there are a number of problems: It has a smaller energy density than gasoline [ not as bad as batterys] and it adsorbs water which will corrode and rust out your gas tank and everything up to the motor. Ethenol, which is what we midwesterners get added to our gas [to subsidize farmers] is a better additive/alternative than methenol. And you can drink it, too:) A clean burning fuel cell has lots of promise, but at this point it is still way more expensive than gas. Also you now need to store liquid or compressed hydrogen in your car.
There is one group of people that do not have the right to vote, in my opinion. People who do not pay ANY taxes, BUT receive government checks OTHER than social security do not have the right to Vote. Why? I pay taxes. I pay a LOT of taxes. I think that I have more right to decide how my taxes are spent than someone who does not pay taxes and spends the tax money I pay.
I voted for Jesse Ventura because his campaign promise was to return the approximatly 1.4 Billion that Minnesota taxpayers paid in, back to us. Now we got back less than 1/3 of that, and again year after year Minnesota collects a BILLION more than it had budgeted to spend. Now Jesse is trying to spend it all, and does not want to give any back (as he promised). Jesse will not get reelected.

I haven't had it blow a motherboard, but I have tried this (moving a windows disk from one motherboard to a new one, a couple times) and it never works. The only solution was to wipe the disk and reinstall windows on the new platform. I have moved linux disks between 3 or 4 machines, and after playing with rdev to get the boot partition right and/etc/fstab, it always wooks. And I only had to do that because It used to boot from/dev/sda1 and now it is/dev/sdc1.

It is quit obvious, really. Download the big.jpg, use gimp to print it out at 600 dpi, and it will be much clearer.
Now notice that upsidedown vs. rightside up is obvious from the location of the baseline of each character. In addition in the font used (and all serif font's I have seen) the serifs at the top and bottom of a letter are different.
As to size, that is obvious. The only possible ambiguity is between a lowercase s and a smallcaps s (or equivalent). Again, the serif's are a the giveaway. I'll proofread one of these transcriptions I see and post if I see anything incorrect.
My Grandfather was a printer I grew up with printing presses in my basement (letterpress and offset) I did letterpress jobs in collage Two of my three degreed jobs were in the printing industry, dealing with fonts and digital printing
Grrr. There was no typing involved, it hadn't been invented.
However, with movable type it is trivial to flip characters and mix fonts (Actually, The Small Caps used are probably true small caps in the same size as the rest of the text, mixing point sizes will cause problems because the type has differen height). I grew up with a letterpress and an offset in my basement.
An idea I have is based on how he had to instruct the typesetter to set this [the type] up. Which also suggests that Poe did write it because he needed access to the typesetter to instruct him. Theory: it is a simple substitution cypher BUT the case of the letter(Upper, Lower, or small caps) modifies the offset to the next letter. For example: HAL is IBM -1 or rot(-1). lets start with rot(K). Uppercase means K+=3, Lowercase means K+=2, smallcaps mean K+=1. Upsidedown means negate the above changes (or just pick 3 more K modifiers). Now it is a simple substitution but the rot is different for every letter. So we have 6 K modifiers that happen on each letter (which each could be anything) and obviously we could have backwards words, the entire text upsidedown, and other things to throw us off.
So what happens to your files when this database gets trashed. I forgot, Micro$oft databases never get trashed.

'Congress shall make no laws that impiugn(sp) upon this contstitution' is what I tried to type, with angle brackets around the word I can't spell. Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
That's what I was thinking of. Seems we are kind of walking all over it. Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Like congress hasn't made 800 laws infringing this right
The Constitution [ which is what makes this country the greatest ever seen ] is NOT a fluid document 'Congress shall make no laws that upon the Constutition' The Constitution Can be changed, legally, by making [and a majority of states ratifying] an amendment. This country would be just another socialist state if not for the Constitution.
The rumor I heard is that a company named Xybernaut has an NDA with transmeta. Fact: [that has been checked] IBM has invested Xybernaut. Long-standing rumor: has been that IBM will be (one of?)
