Look at the 4850. When it was brand new, it cost $199, and it could run ANY game on the market at full resolution and detail with a smooth, sustained framerate.
1: How can you call for pizza if you're using a VoIP phone and the internet is down?
2: "This is why we don't just do a SQL query and read the results from terminal." Looks like someone doesn't actually work with databases. That's like saying you'll have a paperless office in a few years.
While there are handlers who will abuse the system and claim the dog indicated when it didn't, they don't need to dog to make up bullshit to search your car/house/pants/whatever.
If the cops want to hassle you they will.
I'd personally rather be hassled while getting to watch doggies.
Dogs are better at finding drugs than any scanner is at finding nuclear material.
Less expensive too. Less training involved, too. Less maintenance, too. Cuter, too.
The war on drugs isn't meant to be "won", it is meant to be perpetually exacerbated to ensure the continued employment and empowerment of those waging it.
How do you get 0.4 Kevins? Is this some sort of midget? It's dangerously close to 0 Kevins.
My home town nearly went to zero Kevins back in 1978.
It was a particularly cold winter, and we were already down to 3 Kevins (due to their low popularity at the time).
Kevin Thomas had flown out to be with his son's family for a wedding and got stuck in Boston for a whole week due to the weather. 2 Kevins left.
Kevin Lemmer was rushed to the hospital during my shift. I still remember the call from the EMTs as the ambulance was rushing toward us. "It's Lemmer. He's in bad shape. Drove right into the fucking ditch." We called the time of death at 6:15 PM.
At 6:16, all eyes turned to room 2217. Kevin Spencer was 82 and on his death bed with leukemia. His family being Catholic, he had already been given his last rights. If he couldn't hold out until Kevin Thomas returned, we would be at zero Kevins. Sure, we had 4 perfectly healthy Calvins, but they're just not the same.
It was 7:15 when Carla Brooks and her husband James burst through the main entrance. "She's not due for 2 weeks!", James exclaimed. As the staff bustled around getting the Brookses settled, they exchanged darting glances with each other. This was their first child, and they wanted to keep the baby's sex a secret. Of course, in a small town, secrets don't get kept. Nearly all of the hospital staff new that the child about to rip open Mrs. Brooks was indeed a boy.
The delivery was routine, and Kevin Brooks was born healthy, if a tad underweight, at 10:52 PM. Kevin Spencer was pronounced dead at 10:54.
It was, as they say, a close one. Kevin Thomas arrived two days later, the weather having finally cleared up. To this day, we still rib him about it.
Despite all the hoopla, all they've really done is cross the streams.
Today the LHC circulated two beams simultaneously for the first time, allowing the operators to test the synchronization of the beams and giving the experiments their first chance to look for proton-proton collisions. With just one bunch of particles circulating in each direction, the beams can be made to cross in up to two places in the ring. From early in the afternoon, the beams were made to cross at points 1 and 5, home to the ATLAS and CMS detectors, both of which were on the look out for collisions. Later, beams crossed at points 2 and 8, ALICE and LHCb.
An important step, sure. But low-speed collisions and beam tuning are not what the LHC is designed to do. It's akin to a pitcher throwing a few warmup pitches - he won't be bringing the heat til he's out on the mound, he's just trying to make sure he shoulder is fucking healed after he blew it out in his first opening game.
By the end of the year we should have some real info about the first useful collisions.
You'd have to choose what information to present, which "side" to take on each topic, figure out how to give that information to kids without offending anyone, then produce it , run it, and keep a team of washed-up academics on your payroll to keep it up-to-date with the latest research and information (which will still be wrong).
Taking your painting a wall example. If you present it as flatly as a math book question, no one will pay attention.
"Billy is painting a wall. The wall is 12 feet by 10 feet. How much paint does Billy need to apply a single coat with and average thickness of 1/10,000th of an inch?"
It becomes a simple volume calculation, and utterly pointless. No one will pay attention.
If you try to liven it up, you'll get tons of fucking issues.
"Billy is painting a wall. The wall is 12 feet by 10 feet. How much Dutch Boy brand quality latex paint does Billy need to complete the project?"
Well how much do you need? Dutch Boy sure as fuck won't want you giving out bad information. And if you don't use a real brand name, you'll just get mock PSAs from other paint companies saying Billy would have only needed X amount of paint if they used their brand, or Billy could paint that wall for $X, etc.
Contractors and painters will bitch. You can't have Billy painting a wall that's not to code! That was clearly a cement and mortar wall less than 15 feet from the main house. Billy needs to power wash, seal, prime, apply at least 2 layers of an outdoor, weather-rated paint, then seal again. If the wall has any mortar damage or loose sections, it must be inspected and repaired by a licensed contractor before any work can be done on it.
The kid that plays Billy has to be white to ambiguously brown - you can't have a government ad only showing "minorities" doing manual labor.
You have to find out what color Billy should paint the wall - to avoid offending anyone. Can't have a white Billy painting a wall white!
You have to update your ad every year in accordance with whatever bullshit they do.
"Be sure to use a non murderchem based paint." "Be sure to use a non-synthetic brush" "Be sure to use an all-cotton, non-synthetic, beaver-cruelty-free brush or roller."
Then in the end you realize you showed Billy stirring the paint can with a screw driver and using a large cutting brush, plus you fucked up on the math.
MS: displaying prototypes of multi-touch mice. Apple: actually selling one. That right there is sort of a microcosm of the whole industry.
MS: We have some cool ideas, but we're waiting to see what the actual uses and benefits are, in terms of both hardware and available software.
Apple: WE HAVE MULTITOUCH! YOU CAN SWIPE TO SCROLL!!! IT'S WHITE! Our last mouse was perfect, but it sucked. But this one is perfect! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!
Slashdot Mirror
What he did is what "Hackintosh" should mean. A lesser term should be given to using OSX on non-apple hardware.

the waterfall cycle (a complete joke in and of itself)
No sir, you're the complete joke.
Yeah, wtf is with that line at the end of TFS?
The "waterfall" development cycle is pretty much the only one that fucking works anyway.
"Current development practice in open source and/or Internet contexts"?
Current development practice in open source is what, exactly? I'd say it's rather shitty and it's a miracle that anything ever gets half-way done.
"Internet contexts"?
What the fuck does that even mean?
How do I mod the summary flamebait?
A webmaster, likewise, has slow times and busy times.
Bullshit. Any tech employee will have busy times and OH SHIT times.
This.
A thousand times this.
And nothing works right if I block it.
Because a "10-bit panel" will render 8-bit primary color channels better than an 8-bit panel.
(Hint: It won't.)
I dunno it's in storage.
It's an old viewsonic.
I bought the P95f+b (2048x1536) about 7 years ago, and then I saw the 3840x2880 monster on their site and just had to have it.
Look at the 4850. When it was brand new, it cost $199, and it could run ANY game on the market at full resolution and detail with a smooth, sustained framerate.
Lies. I have a 3840x2880 CRT.
Bird's-Eye view is so much better than street view.
when your first step is in shit, it's hard to take another step.
So you stand there in an open gait doing what exactly? Letting your boot stew in the feces?
Seems to me like it's pretty easy to take another step - back out of the shit.
1: How can you call for pizza if you're using a VoIP phone and the internet is down?

Really tricky like check for the UA and the IP of known google bots?
And bird's-eye view is infinitely superior to street view.
Also, their maps page gives better directions.
Yes. That's the joke.

I don't know what you're talking about but you mentioned Tritium and I just wanted to suggest getting in touch with Samantha Carter.
Goin' great Last Available Usern.
(Or should I say - "USAs all be an evil rat"?)
Your weapon... fun-sized... shipment of ura... American candy... will be arriving shortly.

You call twelve months plus twelve days of a year "just a few months"?
You call 11 months, 20 days, and a few hours "twelve months plus twelve days"?

Cedar Falls is currently at 5 Kevins.
All you have to do is look at the raw data that is available.
Any moron can figure out that global warming is bullshit.
Despite all the hoopla, all they've really done is cross the streams.

Now no one knows basic math or painting skills.
So what's your point?
You think it's bad but you just shrug your shoulders and accept the bullshit?
And no - Al Gore isn't trying to do good.
