I use my iPhone (first generation) as an alarm clock next to my bed. If you put it into airplane mode and turn off the wifi, the battery actually lasts a couple of weeks! Plus I use it when traveling in places where my current phone doesn't work (it's frequency isn't supported in some countries).
Back when my grandfather bought his typewriter in 1960~70s he had to register it with the KGB. The idea is that the print drum is unique on each machine (like a finger print). So then if you started sending anonymous letters to somebody the KGB would be able to figure out who's typewriter was used to print the message and track you down.
And back in those days a typewriter was an equivalent of a modern day high end phone/computer: people would not just give it away to friends or throw it out.
Go to the UK. Universities here focus only on your major. No gen-ed classes. And unless you go to Scotland, the degree is 3 years instead of 4. So it comes out cheaper and quicker then the US version but you get the same CS knowledge. Some schools here (like the department at Edinburgh university or Manchester) are considered to be on par with the top CS schools in the US.
I don't believe driving, or even taking a train is possible between Tokyo and London you insensitive clod! Now I could take a boat but then we are talking about well over a week instead of 12hours.
And yes, I do need to travel between those two cities.
If you do some research about this it you would know that BitCoins are not just simple integers. You can have parts of a bitcoin. All the way to 0.00000001 of a bitcoin or so. As some coins are lost we can simply use a smaller fraction of a coin. Or we can create a new unit say mili bitcoin, micro bitcoin, and so on. I don't think having fewer coins in the system will be a problem since we can always device by ten the existing number of coins and go move on.
I beg to differ!
When I was looking for a summer internship after my second year at uni I did not get to choose where I would work or what development environment I would use. If I wanted to work I had to use.net. Later, after graduating from grad school, the only reason I was hired was because of my previous experience with.net. And guess what! They wanted me to do more.net stuff. I did not get to choose to use Python or Ruby or C.

Actually I found Oblivion to be really easy after level 20 or so. I got enchanted armour that, together with some rings and my character's abilities, gave me a 100% defence against spells and melee combat. Only way I would take damage was from arrows. Taking on an oblivion gateways became a walk in the park and I got bored real fast.
I had the exact same problem a few years back. Ended up buying a new mobo and while I was switching the two realized that it was the faulty power button.
When it first came out I was taken in by all that marketing noise and got it. After using it for a few months I went back to my trusty old MX1000. At least for me the revolution is not nearly as comfortable. Plus its got fewer buttons. The smart scroll wheel thing is cool but just not as nice at cruise control on the MX1000.
I second this!
Its got 8 buttons compared to 5 on most other 'high end' mice.
The only downside is that they got rid of the cruise control buttons they had on the old MX1000. If you got a large page to scroll you could just hold the cruise down button instead of constantly fliking the scroll wheel. Very nice when scrolling those long man pages.
Because ALL linux music apps SUCK (with respect to the things I use winamp for).
I use Winamp mainly because of its media library and the ability to customize it (like a query language for defining custom views)! Also, I like the playlist editor concept.
Songbird looks like a good potential alternative, but its still way too unstable and lacks lots of stuff I use in winamp.
And for the record, I tried Amarok, Exaile, Rhythmbox, Songbird, and a few others I can't remember now. Have not tried audacious because last I checked it didn't have a media library.
Just run XP in a virtual machine (such as VirtualBox which available for free from sun) and install office, and any other windows only apps, on to it. And then you don't need to worry about configuring wine and having the app crash because of some unsupported functionality.
I've been doing that for office, winamp and a few other windows only apps for a few months now. In my experience, the apps inside the vm stay very responsive even when i have 2 or 3 vms running. And this is on an dual core amd 5600.
They already have plugins for IE and opera rendering engines for firefox. And I think one for webkit will appear very soon as well, so I really don't see the need for switching to anything over firefox.

Japan's law system does not have the concept of plea-bargains so there really is no incentive to squeal.

Now is probably the right time to sell that stash of old HDDs laying around. You might actually get close to what you originally paid for them!

choosing .NET is a choice

Is it just me or does this sound like the beginning of the war with the newts ?

what about the this?

try rewarding better players by giving them more stuff to do in the game. Or give them bragging rights, like the achievements system in COD4.

Last I checked it still was a republic inside the Russian Federation.
Thanks. That looks interesting and I'll give it a try.
Get them to join your team on Boinc and see how far up you can climb in rankings. Also, maybe give credit for students that earn most boinc credits?

But netflix is a US service. So why would somebody from say Germany or UK be posting a review of it?
