mains work backwars beacuse having two pins sticking out of the way with 220v of potential across them just waiting for someone to brush it is a bad thing.
What always messed me up was that on the female side of the XLR (with the holes) the body of the connector goes inside of the male connector(with the pins).
also, some of the dell desktops (i think its the optiplexes) have the hardware standardized for 3 years. Meaning you can stick with the extact same hardware configuration for three years. Great if you are a company trying to standardize your desktops.
Even though your computer can't display CMYK images correctly the bigger point is color management support. It doesn't matter if the color is in CMYK or RGB, or grey scal eusing a 50% dot preceptual encoding the software needs to have a way to merge all of these together into one document to be printed.
This final colorspace can be RGB, or CMYK, or a two plate process (black + spot color). Thats what I need to from photoshop.
Wow, I can be a grammar nazi and most something meaningful in the same post. If you check The Guardian Style Guide you'll notice that the correct capitalization is "World Series" becuase it was originally sponsored by the New York World (a newspaper).
Quoth the style guide: "World Series (baseball) got its name from the New York World, the newspaper that originally sponsored it; so to use it as an example of American arrogance is as inaccurate as it is tedious"
The 60% number is based on the wait times after a collision on a non-switched ethernet segment. After a certain usage you collide so often that the waits slow your usage down.
The problem with this is you have to trust overpeer to return correct hashes(trusted client problem). If you could find a way to require the client to return correct hashses you could do some cool stuff with a frequency analysis to find the same song at different bitrats and stuff. But you have to get the client to return a valid hash.
What if the silence was longer? IIRC Covenant's Unites Sate of Mind has a track called you can make your own musik that is about 4 minutes of silence. Is that infringing?
"Even more serious, lives can be endangered by the shoddy work of cable thieves. Cable's usually "closed-circuit" distribution system can be compromised, resulting in interference with aeronautic radio navigation signals and emergency service radio transmissions. "
For the love of god don't steal cable anymore or you'll crash and airplane!
Actually its less common than you think. Several hundred firemen every year get caught setting fires and of those several hundred the majority are volunteer. However, most of the firefighters in the united states are volunteer. Someone once said its a fine line between those that start the fires and those that put them out, but most volunteers have a firm enough grip on reality stay on the extingushment side of that line. To imply that arson is a common occurance among volunteer departments seems very insulting to me.
writethroughs and changing the story is that the writethoughs are _obvious_ and you get get old versions. Sometimes I work with AP write stories and if its been written through its in the titile so a story that start out as "HOUSE FIRE IN CT" changes to "HOUSE FIRE IN CT 2nd Writethough". Not only changes, but a new story shows up. So you can still get all the old verisons.
This cnn business sounds more like changing the story beacuse of editorial pressue.
Actually in most states purchases by a government (or government agency like schools, offices, and the like) are tax exempt. And all logicon has to do is document the sale to them and their proof that the buyer is tax exempt (usually just the tax exempt number).
The biggest difference between a MOSIX cluster and a beowolf cluster is what they use to do their distributed computing.
Beowolf usually uses PVM which requires you to do some explicit work with the PVM library. With PVM you also get a better control of something (how tasks distribute to what machines is one). The other thing is that PVM is entirely userspace, and can use a cluster of computers that say has x86 linux boxes and sparcs in it.
Mosix is almost entirely kernel space. When you use mosix you fork off a process and then communicate using unix domain sockets. You can't use threads beacuse there isn't shared memory support, but you don't have to make any calls to a mosix library to make your program work. The downside is that you can't really controll where you proccess goes and the cluster has to be all the same arch(beacuse the entire proccess migrates rather than the correct executable being called on the remote machine).
Actually I was quite surprised when I got my Differential Equations Textbook came with the entire book as a PDF on the cdrom. Actually there are two editions of the book and it was the one with _more_ chapters on the cdrom. The greatest thing ever.
Not really, you could t hink of dirtier as meaning a higher error rate (true at faster burning speeds), more jitter (mainly a function of the player), or physical defects(from imperfections on the media).
The big point is that they _aren't_ completely identical copies, however so slightly bits do get changed in the copying process. However, you can avoid some of the changes by doings things like using better media, burning at slower bit rates, and using better quality equipment.
Its the same issue that audiophiles always have. For 99% of the people 99% precent of the time 99% of the equipment out there is suffcient. But should you decide to be picky about it there are differences.
SMS used to have a desktop control feature too. SMS 2.0 was supposed to have support for 2000 and XP. Actually, I'm remembering all my nightmares abuot working with SMS. This could be a good thing, now that I think about it SMS should be illegal.
I remeber seeing a product demo for Generator which would let you query an ODBC data source and dynamically generate flash files(I saw it demoed on windows, I know they had a Solaris and Linux version). Its not one of their big products anymore, but they still have information about it online
The dynamic capabilities were a little crude (you could change attributes and set variables dynamically) but if you combined them with a little scripting you could do some neat things. The demo I saw was custimizing a flash add for a visitor. The template flash said something like "Hello ${name} when would you like your ${color} ${model}" and from the db it would fill the feilds and make the car the right color.
There used to be an online condom ordering shop that used generator, I can't find it now.

sorta messes up the male female distinction

No, I'm certain I saw it labeled as being able to transfer the mp3s to the player in 4x time.
Also with the Net-MD players i think the player can also play wma and mp3 files inaddition to ATRAC files. Thats why it doesn't have to be re-encoded

Actually, Sony has a new MD model which attaches with USB to a computer and lets you upload songs that way.
8 7x 9781x8647&itemid=28761
Heres the one I found on sony's website:

I swear i saw a 4x model at walmart for 140 though.

Offtopic, but my favorite NOVA disparaging comment was "NOVA where the N stands for Knowledge"
that and their old slogan of "Nova, Knowledge, Now"

This is one casemod story that I don't mind reading :-)

The question is if you use a no-click mouse do things like one-click shopping still apply?
