Wow... that makes two of us. I guess we got lucky with Verizon... they had service hooked up early, runs great, the only time our DSL died was when the yutz from the phone company unplugged the wire in the terminal box by accident;). Ten minutes later, worked again... only downtime I've had in almost a year of service.
well... not quite. Using WireGL from stanford, we've had great success running UT on 12 computers at a resolution of 4096x2304 (16:9 widescreen), with a physical screen that's over 13 feet wide, and 7.5 feet tall (15+ feet diagonal), which is something like 100 square feet of violent blood and guts. Quite cool to see. No UT hacking required. The only bad part is that the game assumes you're just using a monitor, which takes up maybe 15-30 degrees of your view, so when it becomes a full 90 degree view, it gets a little overwhelming, but hey, that's half the fun. Anyone ever in the princeton plasma physics lab, stop in to the high res wall and check out quake3 or our VR walkthrough using UT.
Yes, but the difference is, removing one letter from the hebrew text (which, incidently, has been verified as having been copied exactly by jewish communities worldwide independant of each other) would render it gibberish. Once it's been translated, it's pretty easy. To this day, the sea is known in hebrew as "Yam Suf", and anyone who learns the Bible in the original Hebrew knows that it's always found as Yam Suf. The current translation that most people know, the King James Version, is actually an english translation of a latin translation (the Vulgate) of a greek translation (the so-called Septuigent, though it's not-- the greek we have today was written by the Church Fathers, whereas the Septuigent was written by 70 (Setpa) jewish scholors under Ptolmy) of the Hebrew. Three levels down... so in general, a lot of subtle points are missed.
Ummm... yeah. The hebrew is "Yam Suf", the Sea of Reeds. Not too hard to see how a simple typo made that the "Sea of Red", from which "Red Sea" is obvious. And yes, what we call the Red Sea is clearly identifiable as the biblical Sea of Reeds. If you actually _read_ your bible, you'll see that the Israelites didn't go directly from Egypt to Israel, they went via what's now known as Jordan, first crossing the Red Sea, then the Jordan (which retains its name to this day).
38 and.357's are exactly the same diameter (I often shoot 38 special ammo in my dad's.357 service revolver since it's cheaper). A 9mm is.355 to be precise, so technically, you could use it... but it wouldn't be a very wise idea.
You know, you're right. Which is weird... I always was told that a 9mm had more energy, but looking up the numbers, you're right... might be time to switch ammo, then, too...
Well... sorta. One of the reasons nines are so popular with many gangs, especially those that favor drive by shootings, is their penetrating power. A nine millimeter, because it's so much lighter than a.357, or even a 38, will travel faster and have way more energy (remember, KE=1/2*m*v^2), and can thus easily penetrate a car door, for example. Your.357 mag usually won't do that without losing a helluva lot of power (and chopping up the door nicely). Now, why people use hollow points instead of FMJ's for a nine, I never understood... I keep my 9mm loaded with FMJ rounds, and my.357 with hollow points. Coupled with the.45 (which is really just for show), it's a nice collection...
Good - and with the downturn in the high tech industry you can get them cheap. Ummmm, are you talking about the patents, the gadgets....or the examiners?;)
My apologies. I'm barely 20 myself, and also got my first admin job in high school (well, jr. high, but close enough). Nonetheless... looking back on the fact that I was in charge... not as an assistant, not helping, but actually making decisions... the only reason we weren't r00ted over and over was the fact that we were only online for a few hours a day, and we probably got lucky by having a DCHP assigned IP addr from the dial-up pool.

I'll take one Senior unix sysadmin over 3 junior NT admins
Well, duh. I'd take one Senior NT admin over 3 junior unix admins, too, if my goal was getting things done. (If I wanted to mentor them, and train them right, ok, maybe the three unix guys.) The bottom line is that good people are good people, and bad (technically, not morally ) people are bad people. The only difference between NT and unix is that you don't find paper-MCSE's floating around in the unix world-- yet. Then again, every school kid who ever installed Mandrake (which, btw, I like... but they do cater somewhat towards newbies) thinks he's a unix admin, and I've seen what some of them can screw up...
Learning to cope is as important as surviving terrorism? Lemme think: TV-- off. Radio-- Off. Internet-- look at title bar to check for "reliable source" (aka, not slashdot comments to WTC story). Done. Now if I can just figure out what to do if I'm on a plane headed for a building at 600 knots, I've got it made...
Seriously... I agree that the ease of the internet gives anyone with a half-decent web site a quasi-official status... but is this any worse than the yellow journalism of the turn of last century?
Yeah, but just think. That kind of open source _will_ infect and destroy all closed source hard drives... at least if placed too close... maybe Microsoft was right about Open Source destroying everything it gets near...
Almost;). The previous article was a piezoelectric design for the sole of the shoe... this uses two charged plates being moved through a magnetic field... according to the article, this one does 1/2W, soon to be boosted to 2W.
Slash! Seriously... think about it. You can always hide yourself, but it makes fun of you. You get promoted for group-think, and struck down for originality. Almost everyone has a connection to Natalie Portman (usually in the form of hot grits-- great for down south... both the South, and the other meaning ), and finally-- everyone will be able to spot and avoid JonKatz just with one checkbox! W00t@ge!
