In Chicago, I've found nothing that beats American Science and Surplus and you can order online now too! Not only do they have cheap surplus parts and scavenged 'junk,' but they carry a lot of new chemistry equipment and supplies, all sorts of glass lab products, telescopes, etc. It's a goofy store to describe, but when I need something, it's easy for me to figure out if they'll have the type of thing I need.
I once found a couple 12VDC fans there for like $4, then went next door to radio shack and found the SAME FANS for $12. Can't go wrong with that!
Now, I've been here a while, so when phrases like 'Usual interview rules apply' are tossed around, I understand the meaning.
But it occurs to me, there's probably many who don't. Why not have a page outlining the usual interview rules, and link to it when saying something like that?
There's a discussion about this press release at the tivo forums - http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.ph p?s=84c11bddf1300f950b6c97ad19d4e465&threadid=9446 9
It seems the consensus is that since this is an apple press release, it doesn't preclude PC support, but means that mac's will be supported, probably in addition to PCs.
Now, I'm not physics whiz, but I was always taught that acceleration of an object due to gravity was -9.81m/s/s^2. Is this incorrect now?
Also, if gravity's speed is the same as the speed of light, wouldn't an object have to travel at the speed of light to break the earth's gravitational pull?
I think maybe I'm confusing the speed of gravity with the force gravity exerts on an object, but I don't understand how gravity itself could have speed. Is this a measure of the latentcy before gravity takes effect or something?
Okay, maybe it was a lame giveaway, but I remember sending in for a whole of emperors because I had the proof of purchase seals anyhow. I think I had more emperors than storm troopers. Maybe that's why the empire failed, too much management.
It exists, it's called acetate. Like the other poster said, it's softer than vinyl, so it degrades after being played repeatedly. Acetate recorders (or whatever the technical term is) don't come cheap either, I was looking into them briefly, the price scared me off in a hurry.
Umm, sorry but no. Show me a place where I can get a pair of Technics 1200s for $250. Even Stanton str8-80s or something comparable from Vestax.
Decent DJ quality direct drive turntables typically go for more like $250 each. The cost difference between turntables and CD decks really isn't that great.

I had similar trouble when I was picking up an RF modulator for a friend of mine a few years back. Then last Thanksgiving I noticed they had them on the front page of their ad, and also had about 20 of them on display in the front of the store. I guess the proliferation of DVDs and old TVs finally got them to explain to their staff what an RF modulator is.
That said, the Radio Shack nearest my home has pretty knowledgable sales people. I've asked them for some pretty obscure stuff and they've usually known just what I was talking about.
Well, that's the thing. I don't have to call Microsoft support. It's easy enough to browse around the GUI, and sooner or later I'll stumble across the setting I'm looking for even if I've no idea where it is.
In linux, this is impossible. Even once I know what file in what directory a setting exists in, it may not be there. It seems routine to have to create a new file or add a line with a new setting. It's a lot more difficult to come at this without prior knowledge and experience of what settings are valid and where. Browsing through a GUI to find a checkbox or drop down is much easier.
Honestly, the biggest thing keeping me in Windows is that whenever I've tried to switch, I invariably end up with some questions and head to IRC, Chat Rooms, etc. to ask people. The flames and insults I get for being a newbie are incredible. I really don't care enough to deal with that while I'm figuring out the intricacies.
Other than that, it's mostly games. Though there are a few other things... Photoshop, Office (Openoffice is close, but not quite close enough), Outlook (this is huge..), etc. I've got a linux box I use for a PHP server, and I've tinkered with it from time to time, but it's not my primary OS.
Well, x.400 was used for site-to-site connections in 5.5. 2000 uses SMTP for that as well. My understanding of the client-server protocol is that it's a proprietary protocol. I've seen it reffered to as 'MAPI' in several technet documents and 5.5 manuals and training material produced by Microsoft.
Either way, I don't think any of this would have to be disclosed due to it being part of the OS, it's not.
This is probably the single best thing they could do.
If I'm reading this right, it should be possible for someone to write linux software that'll interpret those APIs and run appropriately. This could make Wine and such MUCH more robust.
Likely could include the native Exchange server protocols too, since Outlook Express talks that protocol and has shipped integrated with the OS.
Actually, Outlook Express only support IMAP, POP3, SMTP, etc. Full fledged Outlook is the only package to use MAPI, Exchange's propreitary client/server protocol.
Firewall your damned machine! Allow in only what you need to allow in, or responses to requests sent outbound. Not only will it protect against this, but all the other crap people will figure out in the future as well.

I misread the title in your message as "How can they overclock the emperor?"
LOL!! Ohh man, that cracks me up.

Here's the publisher's page on this book. It even includes a sample chapter.

Wouldn't it suck if the 101st most insteresting signal was actually created by aliens? I guess it'd be too bad they didn't make the cut.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

There's a couple on eBay And at $41.00, not too expensive.
Do I give a shit what two comic labels are crossing over characters, Selling two editions of the book in varied-ink chromium covers ?
Okay, so Superman and Batman are both DC.. still a psuedo-applicable quote though.
